Our extended family stayed in the home over the Thanksgiving break - the house was perfect for our getaway.

This was sadly the worst experience I have ever had staying at a VRBO.
The house is mostly fine, but there were issues...

About this property
4th Block West End, hear the waves!
Looking for a getaway? The Beach Fox is semi ocean front and just steps from the 5th street beach access and blocks from the lively "downtown" strip of Folly. Two driveways, spacious front porch, inviting living room into the cozy kitchen. Recently renovated and beautifully decorated. Perfect for a small family or a group of friends longing for the beach (or a nap on the hammock).
Inside each bedroom you will find a mounted TV and closet space. The single bathroom has a shower/tub combination and his & her sinks. The kitchen has all new appliances and an open floor plan so you can still be involved in living room conversation. The dining table has 5 chairs but can easily add a 6th if needed. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and has a cleanable filter.
Outside you will find large palms in the front shading the porch and a large oak equipped with rope swing in the back. Feeling sandy? Wash off in our outdoor shower! We have a foot shower in the front of the home. The laundry is located out back in a covered shed. The large front yard gives all the needed grass for a lovely game of bocce. Beach chairs and towels will be provided.
Bringing the kids? You can watch them walk to Folly's Wave Watch Playground at the end of the street. We are not currently dog friendly.
We invite you to come enjoy our Folly Beach as much as we have!

Stay at your own risk
This was sadly the worst experience I have ever had staying at a VRBO.
The house is mostly fine, but there were issues (rotten boards and soft spots in floor and washer/dryer are outside the house and rusted).
My gripe is really with the owner and property manager. The first night, the A/C went out and it was 100 degrees outside. This was not their fault, but I reached out to the owner through the app and they never responded.
The PM did respond and was initially kind enough to apologize for the inconvenience and offer to comp the first night as a result (I did not ask for this).
The next day however we waited all morning for a repairperson and the property manager did not offer to send someone out to wait in our place. They fixed the unit, but the next day they returned again b/c they said they had to fix the washer/dryer. We wasted another entire morning (to be fair, the PM said we could leave but we needed them to work so we stayed).
The A/C went out AGAIN the final night of our stay. I was admittedly very frustrated but the PM never responded when I let them know and sent screenshots of thermostat again.
I also never received the promised refund despite reaching out repeatedly to both the PM (she had said it was "in process") and the owner thereafter. I even called VRBO for help.
I thought about this a lot and what to say. I have never left a negative review for anything but in this case it's the dishonesty that makes me the maddest.
We really enjoyed our stay in Folly beach. The house has plenty of room and is very comfortable. Plenty of amenities and a great location. Would definitely choose this house again.
Perfect stay for our family. Would be back without question.

About the host
Hosted by Ripley Devine
The Devine Family purchased The Beach Fox just before the COVID pandemic hit. During their down time they fully renovated their wobbly shack and turned it into a dream vacation space.
Why they chose this property
Folly is a beautiful yet funky, fun time place. It can either feel like your own private hideaway or a party on Bourbon Street. The Beach Fox is located on the West end of Folly, the less crowded side. Just steps from the beach access and a quick walk to the downtown strip, you can't go wrong staying here.
