This place was perfect for our stay. With the 2 houses we had plenty of room for this family vacation. Beach access was easy, just a short walk down driveway and across the street.

Our family had a wonderful time in these cute cabins. Loved how secluded they were and yet only a short walk to the beach. Very clean with what looks like new appliances and probably some of the best dishware I've seen in a vrbo.The hosts were very communicative, and they were very quick to respond to any issues we had. They sent maintenance out within a couple of hours. I can't express enough how above and beyond they went with helping.

I really appreciate your kind words about our communication and I’m happy the team was able to jump in quickly when you needed anything. You were wonderful guests, and we’d be thrilled to have you back anytime.
Great location. Toilet was broken due to septic issues and ultra high tide. Comfortable and clean.

Thank you for your review. We suspected that the toilet was backing up due to the high tide and septic, but it did end up being a clog way down in the line. Thank you again for allowing us to get that fixed for you during your stay. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and the location. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope you stay with us again, next time you visit Folly Beach.
This Folly Beach house offers a serene escape surrounded by nature, with no neighbors in sight. Enjoy stunning views of the sunset over the lowlands, creating an unforgettable backdrop for your stay. The setting feels private and peaceful, yet the beach is just a short walk away. Inside, the two homes is spacious, and comfortable. Perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in nature while still having easy access to the shore.

Loved the easy access to both the marsh and beach. Really felt like we had so much space to ourselves. Houses were clean and everything we would need was provided in the start kits. Will definitely be returning.
