Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking and service items we needed for the entire stay and our family of 9. The entire place was clean and well set-up. The less than 5 minute walk to the beach was perfect. Any more visits to Folly Beach, I will look for this place first everytime. It was great.
Property was ideal for our family - size, design, cleanliness, pool in the back, convenient walk to the beach and the downtown area.The entire family loved the home and the convenience of the pool and ocean. It was ideal for the younger children.

Thank you for the review! We’re so pleased that you found the home clean and accommodating. You were perfect guests and we'd love to welcome you back for another stay anytime!
We chose this home because of the convenience of it being so close to the beach (I could look out my window and see it every morning we woke up). And because it was big enough to accommodate our family. We have two children who love to swim and this one had a heated pool and hot tub. I do wish they’d prefaced the hot tub and pool are heated separately, therefore they are charged two fees. Other than the washing machine having issues (which they did give us the option for a complimentary cleaning service because of the machine being broken), this place was beautiful and immaculately clean and loved our stay. Large enough garage for our big vehicle as well.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the incredible proximity to the beach and the beautiful ocean views from the window – that's definitely one of our favorite features too!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the separate heating fees for the pool and hot tub. The property description mentions the additional fees to heat either amenity. These fees are never added or charged to a guest's account without their request and authorization. We will explore options to make this clearer for future guests.
We're also glad we were able to offer a solution regarding the washing machine issue and that it didn't detract too much from your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope you'll choose to stay with us again on your next visit to Folly Beach!
It feels so much bigger inside! Definitely a wow effect when you walk in. All of the rooms and bathrooms are great. Kitchen has everything you need. Pool is fabulous- not much privacy. Road right behind it. Beach is across the street! Just walk across the street and down one block to the beach access. We do wish that the house would have come with beach, chairs and umbrellas. We did rent them.The beds were all super firm if you like that. We were not able to check in until a little after 4 PM on the check-in day. Do not plan on coming early and hoping for an early check-! Great communication with managing company.Overall an amazing home and my family loved it.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that the home worked great for you and your family. We appreciate you mentioning the check-in time. Our official check-in time is 4:00 PM as it allows our professional cleaning and inspection teams the full window they need to ensure the home is perfect for every arrival. We always notify guests immediately if the cleaning process finishes early, allowing for an earlier check-in, and we appreciate your patience while we worked hard to prepare the house for you that day! We hope to host your family again soon for another amazing beach trip!
