We loved our first stay in 2017 so we had to book again for 2025. The location is ideal for us as it was just outside the busy part of folly beach town but close enough we could easily drive into town within 5-10 minutes. Fully stocked kitchen and essentials which made it easy to cook and clean. I also appreciated the functional dishwasher and washing machine. Everything worked well and was easy to navigate. A big bonus was fenced in porch for our pups for them to hang out in while we were on the beach during restricted times. The two biggest positives apart from the amazing view and access to the beach was being able to bring our pups and booking a partial week as we are not a full week vacation family. The property manager and/or owner was very responsive and helpful when needed. 5 stars all around!

Great week in Folly!

We absolutely loved this beautiful house on the beach. The views were amazing! House was in a great location and very clean. We booked for next year already because we had such a great stay! Would 100% recommend this house if you plan on going to Folly.

Many bath outlets did not work, one bathroom door did not close, floor sunk in one bathroom feeling unstable, one day rained and entire underneath of home flooded. Ceilings were low and one tall person in our party had to be very careful not to hit his head. He did, however, hit his head many times under house where we parked. I would have liked a broom or vacuum available to help with sand since we had a 3 year old and one year old.

Spring Break

Great location at the quiet end of Folly Beach. You can't get any closer to the beach without being in the water. The house had starters for all paper products and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. The floor length family room windows kept the beach feel alive on our 1 rainy day.

Folley First Timers

We were in town for two soccer games in the area and jumped on the opportunity to stay at the beach. Folley Beach is fantastic, however I wouldn’t go during peak season; too peoplely for me! This house is legit on the beach and away from the downtown hustle and bustle, although a very simple bike ride or golf cart ride away. I would bring / rent bikes or a golf cart due to the significant lack of parking downtown. Just like any other beach town the no-see-umm were out in full force (yes even at this house). The house is simple and has everything you need. The gated deck was enjoyed thoroughly by our pups. We will definitely come back to the area and would consider this house again.
