This was an absolutely wonderful property to stay at. The pool and hot tub are the stars of the show, but the house is well laid out and designed. It felt homey and not sterile like some other rentals we've stayed at. The walk to the beach is simple, and we found the daily low tide to be magical. We would definitely stay here again!

comfortable, charming stay

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The home was just as pictured, was clean and check-in was super easy. Response time to questions was fantastic. The pool is beautiful, and the walk to the beach was about 5 mins (once we figured out the 'secret' path/cut-through. We took daily early morning walks on the beach with our dog, which he loved as much as we did. If we travel through Charleston again, we will definitely try to stay here again. Thank you!

Perfect Family Vacation

This house was great for a family vacation! The location allows you to be able to walk to the beach and to restaurants. This is crucial during the summer months to avoid parking difficulties. The house was clean and well organized. The back porch was nice to eat out on and spend time with family. The pool was a great activity and kept my son entertained in the afternoon after a morning at the beach. The property manager was very helpful and timely with their responses. Would definitely stay at Heron Hideaway again.

Wonderfully Cozy practical house

We had such a great stay. We come to folly a lot and found this house to be one of the best we have ever stayed at. The house was great with 2 king beds upstairs, cozy living room and kitchen, huge yard overlooking beautiful great marsh. Sunny large back patio with great outdooor furniture. 2 bedrooms downstairs were perfect for grandma and the kids. The walk to the beach is a few blocks but the 3rd Ave beach has bathrooms and showers and a beach toy borrow area.. we had an extremely great stay. Hosts were very responsive.

Excellent Family Vacation Home

We stayed at Heron Hideaway and had a fantastic stay; very quiet street location. Greeted by a super clean, comfortable home, as well as a bottle of wine and key lime cookies. Home was equipped with every comfort, as well as fully stocked with kitchen appliances and essentials. 10 minute walk to downtown folly beach and beach access. We loved having a large warm pool and private yard, for evening beach reprieve. Dog friendly too, and pups had great fenced yard to run, supervised, in. Communication with rental company, via text, was convenient. Definitely recommend renting one of their amazing homes.

Had a wonderful stay at the Heron Hideaway! Already booking my trip back!

Had a wonderful stay at the Heron Hideaway! Location is perfect for a relaxing weekend on the beach! It’s about a 10 minute walk from the beach and town which was perfect for us because we didn’t have a car. The house itself is located on a culdesac in a beautiful little tree lined neighborhood. My friends and I really enjoyed spending time in the large backyard and had cocktails on the porch almost every night. The screened in standing porch was great for reading and meditating in the morning. We also loved all of the games that we discovered in the downstairs basement! Very thoughtful touch! The beds were very comfortable and shower pressure was great. The decor was really nice and the place was super clean. Looked like all new appliances in the kitchen. Already booking my trip back!

Great location - close to beach and downtown. Pool was so nice!! House was ready early which was a bonus! Furniture appears really used with stains on the chair in living room and cushions on the outdoor furniture. We had a minor issue during our stay and the owners were very responsive!! I would stay here again as the house was clean, owners were responsive and welcoming, we had plenty of space for 7 of us, and it is convenient to all we wanted to do throughout the week.

Memorial Weekend Getaway

The Heron Hideaway was an excellent home away from home! It was stocked with everything we needed and it was a reasonable walk to the beach. I suggest bringing beach chairs if needed as the ones supplied are pretty weathered. Plenty of beach towels were supplied. The pool and back yard was an excellent retreat. We truly enjoyed cozy home and its layout was very roomy and accommodating for a large family. The hosts were very kind and communicated regularly!
