    My family loved the birdhouse, it was perfect for our family of four. The walk to the beach was around .2 miles. The walk to Center street was around four blocks. The steps on the outside of the house are not steep. It is true that the inside steps are steep, but we did not have any issues. The place was great.

    The inside steps to the bedroom are very steep and you constantly have to watch your head going up the stairs (duck stickers were helpful). First day couldn’t figure out why loft was so hot. Someone had the vent line for the ac unit in the room disconnected so it was blowing into the room. There was also an odor in the loft, could not figure out where that was coming from. Location is great. Close to town and the beach. We were able to park at the rental and walk everywhere. The town, the food, the people, the beach are all amazing. Spent hours walking the beach seeing a variety of wild life. Would not recommend for anyone with children. Lots of stairs and a gate that doesn’t latch at top of stairs.

    The house was cute and very clean. I really enjoyed Folly Beach and it was easy to get to and from Charleston. One thing, the stairs are pretty tricky and one should really be paying attention. One distraction and I came down part of them with a thud. Overall I do recommend though.

    The windows need a good cleaning, but that is the only negative thing I have to say. Well appointed. Perhaps you need to tell folks about the stairs to the bedroom - they are steep and somewhat dangerous.

    The Birdhouse was just what we needed for a fun Birthday getaway. Close walk to the beach and to shops and restaurants, and a short drive into Charleston. We had such a great time! It was comfortable and clean, and the name totally fitting, as a Hawk greeted me one morning as I stepped out the door and we came face to face as he was sitting in a Palmetto just outside the door. Thanks so much!

    We loved our stay at the Birdhouse, the size was perfect for our family of 3. The house is clean, AC worked well to keep the house cool, and had everything we needed. Just an easy 5 min walk to the 4th St access. My son loved the little bedroom. The stairs up to the bedroom are a bit steep and precarious so if you have mobility issues be careful! Would definitely stay here again!

    Our stay was good however there was a lot of rain that week. The outdoor stairs were very slick and my daughter fell and was injured. I suggest you add traction strips to the stairs to avoid future falls.

    We had an excellent stay at The Birdhouse! Close to everything Folly Beach has to offer and close to Charleston for day trips. We really enjoyed our time there and will be back.

    Perfect for a couples retreat! This house is four blocks away from the beach and within walking distance of several bars and restaurants. Park your car and do t move it for a week. The steps - inside and outside - are legit steep, and the bedroom above is truly in the trees - you’ll hear birds all morning long. A quiet residential street and outdoor porch are a bonus. I wouldn’t put anyone but young kids in the other bedroom - you have to walk through the main bedroom and the three twins are in attic space/low ceilings with not a ton of airflow aside from the mobile AC there. Main shower is on the main/bottom floor. Highly recommend.
