    Excellent place to stay on Folly Beach for two adult couples. We parked here and walked to the beach, the SUP paddleboard shop, and restaurants. The rooms were clean and well appointed.

    What a great place! It was everything it was advertised to be and more. The location is perfect and it’s super easy to get to the beach. There is every thing you could possibly need in the kitchen, washer and dryer, shady screened in porch, beach chairs and toys— even a wagon! And it’s right by Bert’s market and Chico Feo— YUM! Ernie was a fabulous host and super responsive. A really wonderful stay!

All information about the stay was clear and helpful, we had everything we needed to enjoy our week at the beach, and checkout was very easy. We would absolutely stay there again on our next visit.

    You can't get a better Folly Beach vacation house! The location can't be beat - three short blocks to the beach and one block from Center Street restaurants and shops. The newly renovated house was sparkling clean and has all the amenities you could ask for. The screened-in porch was an incredible bonus; we were out there day and night. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were great. The host has even provided a beach cart and beach chairs and a beach umbrella for your use! All in all, it was the best beach vacation property we have stayed in - and we've stayed in a lot of places! I'll definitely be back!

    Everything was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed (we tend to cook at home most of the time, instead of eating out). Parking was nice, the carport is a nice touch as it was raining when we arrived but only a few steps in the rain to the back door for unloading. We brought chairs, umbrella, and beach wagon, but used those provided for us as they were in great shape and saved us from having to unload those from our car. The best part was the screened in porch when we were not at the beach or riding bikes. There was some construction in front of the house and directly across the street, but I suspect it will be done by the time the real season for the island starts. We didn't get back into our car until it was time to leave - everything is within walking distance including the perfect beach access and the pier, as well as the restaurants, coffee shops, bakery and market. Not our first time to Folly and won't be our last. We would definitely stay here again!

    Despite water line construction going on right in front of the house we had a lovely stay. And the owner is super responsive and went out of his way to try and help fix a situation with a neighbor’s flood light. There are so many places in a short walk distance from the house, it’s a great location!

    Our family of 4 stayed here and we had a fun, relaxing week. The house is in a great, convenient location close to the beach and Center street - perfect for the 2 teens with us to come and go and not need a car or golf cart. Loved the screened-in porch for reading and relaxing. The kitchen was well-stocked, house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We used the supplied wagon for our beach gear and there were numerous beach chairs we could use too. The pictures were accurate and owner communication was clear and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and loved our time in Folly!

    This house was a perfect location. The house was clean, kitchen had all the appliances we needed, the property was well maintained and Ernie was incredibly concise and thorough with instructions for check in/ check out. We vacation in Folly every summer for a girls trip, but he provided an extensive list of places to go and recommendations that would be wonderful for someone unfamiliar with the area. The outside was well lit for safety and we couldn’t have had a better time. We will be back to this house! I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy being so close to the main strip but the house was quiet and tucked away enough. There was ample off street parking and the outdoor shower kept the house as clean and sand free as we could get! No notes!
