The layout of the condo was perfect for our family !! Everyone had private space and the babies and the "elders" were all able to rest during our family gathering! The common area was perfect as we ate and played games together! our family felt right at home!!
We had beautiful ocean views, the property was equipped with everything you could need. The beds were extremely comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Jennifer, thank you for your 5-star review of Ocean Watch! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the property and made the most of your time in Charleston! We hope to host you again soon!
We loved the property. It was walking distance from many restaurants and bars in the area. There was plenty of room in the condo for all seven of us and had some extras that many properties do not (spices, cooking spray, lots of pots and pans, extra trash bags, cleaning supplies, etc.) With the number of people, an extra fob would have been helpful but we managed. Check in and check out was easy. Thanks so much!
This condo has so much to offer. Beautifully furnished, includes everything you could need. Location could not better - able to walk to Folly Pier and Center street. Communication was fast and thorough.

We followed the warmer weather and ended up heading to Charleston. We call it a discovery trip and look forward to visiting again. The condo was beautiful and had the view we were looking for!
Fantastic girls weekend at Ocean Watch in Folly Beach!
Wonderful trip from start to finish. Our condo was amazing. Beautiful decor, clean, huge, all the amenities, and a view of the pier/ocean. Awesome location to restaurants, bars and shops! The service/communication from the management company was top rate too! We will definitely return!

The property at Ocean Watch was great, it is exactly what was advertised. That being said we had an AC failure on day 2 that resulted in my family and I being moved a couple buildings down the road to a comparable property. This was going on during a pretty heavy rain storm. The staff at Luxury Retreats did a nice job of getting us relocated once we realized the AC was not getting repaired in a timely manner. Once we moved down the street everything went well. We had a great stay!
We had a wonderful vacation in this gorgeous condo. The property was even better than the description and scrupulously clean. The ocean view with coffee was a great way to start our day and the beach access was quick and easy. It’s an easy drive into Charleston to take in the sights. We will definitely visit again and rent this exact condo!

Paula, we are so happy to hear you had a wonderful vacation and a great stay at Ocean Watch! We would love to host you again for your next Folly Beach getaway!
We had a great time. The rental was as described and perfect for our mini family reunion. Other family members rented condos in same building and this one was far more modern and accommodating. The condo is close to everything in the center of Folly Beach. We had a great time and would definitely come back.
