It was a great stay! The dishwasher didn’t work while we were there but other than that the description on the website was very accurate! We will return to this location in the future.

Thank you! We're glad the stay was a good one overall and that the listing was accurate to your experience. We apologize for the dishwasher issue and have had it taken care of. We look forward to having you back!
What a wonderful location! Right on the Beach and walking distance to pier, shops, and restaurants. Kids had a blast, adults had a blast, and there was ample space for all. Communication during booking was amazing and we would love to return!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that everyone—kids and adults alike—had such a great time and enjoyed the beachside location, nearby attractions, and spacious accommodations. It was a pleasure communicating with you during the booking process, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. Until next time!
The unit is in a great location, outside of building is not very clean but the inside was wonderful. Very roomy and clean with everything we needed. Would absolutely stay again

We're so glad you enjoyed your time at The Swan Dive! Unfortunately the outer building is managed by a different company- we just handle the inside accommodations, but we'd love to have y'all back to stay with us again soon on the Charleston Coast!
Great place. As advertised. Very communicative property managers. We had a great time!

Paul,
Thanks for the great review! We are glad that your group had such a good time while visiting Folly Beach. "Swan Dive" is centrally located, both on the island as well as within the condo complex (one of the closest units to the elevator). It's perfect for larger groups, between the extra large sectional and outdoor furniture there is plenty of seating for all!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us when planning your next vacation to Folly, we'd love to have you back!

Outside was being painted, so there was some heavy equipment around, but great sign that they are keeping the property in good shape. Interior of condo was very nice, recently painted and very clean!
