Oceanfront home with private beach access, screened porch & large deck

We totally enjoyed every aspect of this home. It felt homey and the views were breathtaking. The screened in porch as an awesome addition. We have an autistic daughter and the screened area gave extra protection. Thank you for allowing us to stay on our fav end of Folly!

Upon arrival the door key code did not work. We called and texted the day time number for help. No one ever answered the phone after numerous rings. Luckily while waiting for a response and my husband found a lock box that he was able to figure out how to open with part of the numbers given for the key pad. It wasn’t until after we were in the rental that someone finally text us a different code than the original code that was sent. This was at least 30 -40 minutes after the fact.The fireplace was not available for guests use, although it did not say that in the information when looking to rent. It showed the fireplace lit in the pictures. The fireplace was a huge part of our decision on choosing this location.The exhaust fan in one of the bathrooms made a loud “squealing” noise when turned on. The location was amazing though.

The best part was the sunrise, and direct access to the beach. Yes, there are nice chairs out on the deck and happened to be beach chairs to use stored inside the screened in patio. Beds were comfortable. Tons of clean white towels. The couches are now leather like which is cleaner than fabric. There are some things that need tending to, like the dirty doors near the door handles and maybe some bleach around the toilet because it smelled just a little. Overall pretty clean. Very roomy. My one suggestion would be to put solar lights next to the steps. When you turn off the parking area lights, you can’t see walking to or up the steps. Nice quiet relaxing location. Would definitely stay here again.

The house is in a great location, however it does need some updating inside, bathrooms especially and the air vents looked like they had black mold. Overall a good option price wise but felt a bit uncomfortable with how outdated some of the rooms are.

The batteries were dead for the deadbolt so it took over 20 minutes to get into the house (at 11pm when we arrived). That was frustrating but the staff was very responsive and helpful and didn't stop until we got in! Life happens, thankfully we got in the house and they fixed it on Monday.The location was PERFECT! The house had everything we needed and was great for a family with kids and adults. The dryer made an awful noise but we were warned it needed to be looked at and told it was safe to use, it was just loud (like nails on a chalkboard). But we figured out how to make it quieter (less clothes less noise).Overall, I'd recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay at Folly with their family! We love the houses on the beach and would gladly stay here again!

There were several issues with the house - worst was the dryer that squealed so badly that we could not run it while in the house. House moves a lot in the wind. Icemaker not working. Deck in very rough shape and gave the kids splinters. Pots and pans super old and teflon scratched. The power went out during our stay and we tried all of the phone numbers for emergency maintenance. We didn't get through to anyone. No help.

Overall, the stay was very nice. One concern we had was part of the deck had been replaced and nail heads were sticking up right at the doorway entrance, and there were two steps that had broken loose. One bathtub drained very slow. The door code didn’t work, 5 different codes were sent to no avail finally a representative was sent over. Fortunately one of the doors was unlocked so we could gain access or our 79 year old grandma would have flipped her lid. It all worked out.

Loved the home and location. Folly Beach is so peaceful with not too much commercialization but close enough to Charleston if that is your thing.

Great location on less busy part of beech.

Great location which was secluded from the crowds. Beautiful beach, perfect for walking or running at high or low tide.

We are regular Folly-goers and love the property location. It is so convenient and on the quieter end of the beach. The house was not entirely as pictured. There was no outdoor lounge furniture as pictured. The outdoor dining table was broken, but there were three plastic chairs around it. Cleanliness wise, there was mold and slime under the sink and mold in the air vents. The house could use a refresh. The location and proximity to the beach was definitely the best part.

This property was an excellent choice for us. It was close to the beach, as well as local restaurants and shops. We visited Charleston during the day for some sightseeing and culture but looked forward to returning to a Cool Place to take part in what it had to offer. We cooked during our stay and it had everything and more that we needed. There were card games, board games, and books...nice size tv's to watch, and a huge deck to hang out on. The property was clean and we really enjoyed it. We would definitely stay again.

Once we got electricity on the 2nd day everything was perfect as we expected. We hadn't expected to have a community power outage when we arrived and stayed in a hotel for the first night. The owner nicely refunded our hotel expense. Right on the beach with beautiful sunshine.

This house was the perfect size for our family of 6. We loved being right on the beach. The house was clean. The living room furniture was comfy and there was plenty of room to all eat at the table. Loved having the keurig!! The mattresses were not very comfortable. The deck only had 3 regular chairs, nothing for lounging. The deck was rough and had nails sticking up. It also felt like you might fall through in spots. Some boards need replacing for sure. It would have been nice to have extra blankets. The dryer squeals terribly. Overall, it worked for the week and we enjoyed ourselvesourselves very much.

Our family of 6 just stayed 4 days/3 nights. First off, the location is 100% with booking again…that being said, there are things that need updating. If you are looking for a 5 star rental…this isn’t your place. If you are looking for a spacious family friendly older house in a GREAT location…this place is for you. I read other reviews & agree that we did see bugs in the bathroom every night. The welcome book addresses this & gives you a number to call to have some exterminators come by but we were on the move too much to wait for someone. The bugs were my biggest complaint. I only ever saw them in the bathroom. The fridge worked great, the AC worked great & the back porch and walkway to the beach were in good enough condition that we didn’t wear shoes or have any problems accessing the beach. The air vents were gross looking, and there was stuff under the beds left by past guests but over all the house was clean. The house does sway a bit but nothing crazy. If this place had a facelift, it could be great. My second biggest complaint is the outdoor furniture. There were only a few chairs and they were just plastic ones. The wood table is falling apart but worked for setting drinks on. The doorknob to the door that takes you to the carport needs to be replaced…we fought with it more than I care to admit. Overall, we would stay here again…can’t beat the space & beach access….period.

The location was superb, right on the beach. Loved the house but it was very tired looking. Needed some work done. Was disappointed because there was no furniture on the deck so you could set on the deck and enjoy the view. Was saddened because we couldn’t stay our whole time due to tropical storm Helene.
