Breezy Porches + Ocean Views + Pet Friendly

Beautiful home with great location

I love the historical charm of Charleston and the relaxing, cozy charm of folly Beach. We chose to return to Elegant Escape. It is in a perfect location with ocean front views for all to enjoy. The main gathering room is spacious and seating accommodates many people comfortably. Each bedroom has an en-suite restroom, and the 2 screened porches stretch the length of the home for all to relax and talk or read. My one recommendation is the home needs some loving touches to maintain its magnificence. The kitchen needs some cabinet repair , the interior paint retouches could improve, the exterior steps and trim need some attention and the towels and linen should be upgraded. These are minor details to keep this rental an excellent vacation escape We had a great Thanksgiving getaway here

a GREAT house and location was perfect!

Comfortable home with plenty of room for 8 adults. Outdoor porches facing ocean are fantastic, and it’s where we spent most of our time when at the house. Really enjoyed the steam shower after chilly swims in the ocean. Super easy beach access a short walk away.

It was not great weather but tte home was easy to hunker down in. Served our needs well.

The house itself is set up well for a mid size to larger family. The master suite was large which was helpful for fitting our infant in her crib + all of our luggage. There were no hangers provided or much drawer space for our clothes. Every single bathroom needs a serious renovation and while the cleaning crew did great to clean the spaces, the bathrooms are so old that they felt dirty even when clean. The master shower is scary, dark and cramped and the tile is really old. The bathroom itself needs a paint job - there was clearly holes that were filled in the walls all over the place. The living room is large and spacious with nice new couches (at least couch covers!) The ceiling in the dining / kitchen area had a huge hole from what appeared to be a leak. The kitchen was also older but fine.... except for the ants. There were ants ALL over. Our house has had an ant problem at home so i get it, but it was annoying they were constantly around even after thorough cleaning. The balconies are spacious with great views but unfortunately most of the house and outdoor space was covered in dog hair so we couldn't sit on it with our infant daughter. I would not stay here again and likely would have left if it wasnt for the views.

Plenty of space for activities

The rental and check in process was very easy and straightforward. There were minor repairs and upkeep that could have been a challenge but the agency representatives worked with us to address our needs. The house has easy access to the beach and a great view of the ocean from the deck, where we enjoyed many dolphin sightings. We didn’t get our Pawleys Island week as planned due to Ian, but this house on Folly Beach was a great find for our group of 7.

We were looking for a house near the beach that allowed our dogs. This property at 808 E. Arctic was perfect for that and so much more! The overall space in each room was very large so we never felt on top of each other. There were 8 adults and 2 dogs. Two of our adults are seniors and therefore the elevator was KEY! Our 88-year-old pop doesn't walk so well, so it was awesome and well worth the modest extra fee. The town was so much fun - so many kitschy/cool bars and restaurants; we had a blast. The beaches are super clean and comfortable in proximity to this house (walked the dogs there every morning - they loved it! We may need to build them a sandbox!) We also made the 25-minute drive to Charleston three times for fun extracurricular activities loved by all! What a great town. The people here are very nice. We also found the management of this property (LSR) to be very responsive, nice, and prompt. They made renting this very easy. My only two negatives were that the baseboards and edges of the doors were quite dirty, and the dryer was broken (although again, LSR to the rescue offering laundry services!), it just made it inconvenient, that's not much of a bummer anyway (who does laundry on vacation?) We will return to Folly Beach soon!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It was great for everyone to have their own room with a bathroom. The porches outside the rooms were wonderful. The porch off the main living space provided a lovely place to sit and enjoy the ocean view. We liked walking the neighborhood and seeing all the different styled houses. The elevated was great when loading and unloading the car. This house provided a jumping off point for our visits into Charleston, but gave us a great break from being in the city at the end of the day. We would highly recommend this house if you plan on visiting Charleston.
