    The house exceeded our expectations and is the nicest beach home we have ever rented. The house itself was clean and modern, and the kitchen was extremely large, well stocked with a variety of cookware and dishes, and had excellent appliances. The view from the living room is just magnificent, and the pool and outside areas of the property are wonderful for a group. I was a bit concerned before our stay about the road that runs between the house and the beach, but the house is elevated so that the road is not really visible from the house. In addition, there was very little traffic on the road during our stay, so the road proved to be a nonissue. The owners were extremely responsive and a property manager met us when we checked in to go over the property details in person. The easy access to Charleston is another plus of this property. Our family and friends would love to have the opportunity to stay at this amazing home again.

    What a memorable vacation. The home was incredible from the moment we walked in - starting with the amenities and the finishing touches on decor. We enjoyed the pool, beach and backyard. We cooked inside. We cooked outside. And the office on the third floor was a great spot for keeping up with work obligations while gazing out on the ocean. The owners were responsive to questions or suggestions. We will definitely be back.

    Wave Watcher is an impressive vacation home at Folly Beach, SC. All of the rooms are beautifully decorated, and the huge kitchen is delightful! There is plenty of room for everyone to work together to prepare food. So many amenities! We spent most of our time sitting on the outside porch enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean. The kids spent hours in the pool! Our hosts, Tom and Hannah, were exceptional! They answered all our questions immediately and were always so kind to us.

The sand is fine and compacted, ideal for morning beach combing.The house is beautifully designed and has abundant kitchen ware for dining in and entertaining.Four of the 5 bedrooms have en suites which is welcome for group gatherings.There are lots of amenities for entertainment when not otherwise out enjoying Charleston or Folly Beach, including a pool overlooking the beach.In all, a great place to gather for vacations, reunions and social gatherings.

    We enjoyed celebrating my husband’s birthday there with 3 other couples, the accommodations couldn’t have been more perfect with each bedroom having its own bathroom and large deck space. The location was ideal and the convenience to the beach was wonderful. The communication with the owners made the process super easy. I highly recommend this home and am so happy we were able to experience this magical property!

    Everything about the property is perfect even has a generator incase power loss on island. Clean with new home feel and smell has everything you could ask for and very close to beach ubers are usually 20 min wait max since close to downtown charleston food on island is equally as good great time would rent again

    Met up with 6 long-time friends for a long weekend in Charleston / Folly Beach. This is the perfect house for a group - beautiful, nice, new, clean - huge kitchen (brought in a chef one night) and so many lovely places to sit outside. We absolutely loved it - and Tom and Hannah were so responsive and the perfect hosts. I would absolutely recommend this place for a group of friends or a family get-together - it's amazing!

    Tom and Hannah did a fantastic job with this home. All of the finishes are high end, the furnishes, finishes and furniture, it was all very thought out. All done with such great taste. Plenty of room for our whole family, little kids, the views are surreal. We appreciated all of the outdoor space and utilized every inch of this home. We had all of these grand plans for explore Charleston, well, once we got to the home, we never left! It was just that amazing. We hope to book again in the future. Thank you for the great memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

    We spent the past 5 days here with our family and it was perfect. So relaxing. The house is perfect, large enough to give us all time to be together but also plenty of space to go off and do your own thing if you wish. Folly Beach is charming, loved the laid back vibe. It was so nice to have a pool and an ocean right across the street. We all commented that it is probably the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in.

    Our family of 7 had the most wonderful stay at Tom & Hannah’s rental (Wave Watcher) on Folly Beach. The house was even more beautiful in person than online. It was very functional with plenty of space for us to be alone or come together. We enjoyed the backyard setup, fun game options, the bar and outside backyard TV. The pool and TV on the front was awesome also. Access to the beach was directly across the street. Everything you needed was close by….even our drive to Charleston. We only had one little issue with the lock on the front door and they responded with an option for that very quickly. Overall, the house was GREAT and well worth the money spent for our stay. Thank you Tom and Hannah

    Amazing property! House had all amenities and then some. Only drawback was that the beach was undergoing restoration and could not be accessed easily for part of the stay (warning for that would have been appreciated).

    Wave Watcher has everything you could ask for and more! Great views from all of the porches, very easy beach access, loved the pool and backyard activities. We spent a week vacation here and barely left aside from going to the beach because it was so relaxing, comfortable and there was also plenty to keep our 3 1/2 year old busy! We were all sad to leave and are definitely planning to return!

    We have stayed in vacation rentals all over the USA and many foreign countries and my family agreed this is the finest one we have experienced. If I was to build a beach home, I would do exactly what Tom and Hannah have done. They spared no expense on layout, amenities, location, appliances, furniture. They have made it very family friendly and having traveled 2,500 miles their help with a private chef, groceries, toys for the kids and even a golf cart rental made this vacation a timeless memory. We will be back. The Campbells
