Home away from home!

by T Hartness

Wow! What a great home away from home! Beautiful condo. We enjoyed every minute! Grandparents, Dad, mom (due in 3 weeks), uncle and a 2 year old and 4 year old ran and played on the beach everyday! So many memories made here! Wouldn\'t want to stay anywhere else. Hoping to come back to this exact place next year! With a new little baby girl! Thanks for the memories!

My Old Stomping Grounds

by Katie

We had a wonderful vacation in one of my old stomping grounds as a CofC graduate. LOVE FOLLY! Celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here with the family & our two young children (5 and 16 months). It was amazing weather the whole trip, kids loved the pool/beach & I got to share nostalgic memories of living here with our loved ones. Love your place! Hope to be back!

Phenomenal Location!

by Jessy

Thank you! What a beautiful place and phenomenal location. Our daughters and one set of grandparents were very grateful to be able to meet up in Charleston and Folly (and Kiawah), to make memories. We saw dolphins, enjoyed building sandcastles and dining everywhere around town. Would happily return.

The villa was nicely decorated, clean, comfortable, and spacious!

by Dawn W

Patriots Point, the City Market, pineapple tour bus, Tanger outlet stores, shopping downtown Charleston, and the beach of course were all a great time. The villa was nicely decorated, clean, comfortable, and spacious! The view of beach and ocean were beautiful! No suggestion because everything was fabulous!

This was our first time to Folly Beach & we had a great time! This condo more than met our expectations & we appreciate the well-stocked kitchen even though we dined out every evening. We loved the Folly Beach area & the nearness of Charleston - what a beautiful city.

Had a wonderful week in Folly Beach! Spent our days at the beach/pool before heading into Charleston at night. Our favorite restaurants in Charleston were 167 Raw, Gingerline, and Le Farfalle. We also recommend going to the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. We hope you enjoy your stay!

Unparalleled property

by James H
What a great place! The decor is wonderful and the location is perfect. Easy access to the beach but also has a balcony that is facing to the south - which means you see really sublime sunsets. The furnishings are top notch and the kitchen is unusually well stocked. The owners obviously go above and beyond to make this place enjoyable. We traveled with other folks so we were not the party who booked the rental but we have this on our list to return many times! A truly enjoyable property! SC

Clean, crisp and delightful

With plenty of useful and timely communication from the property, arrival was easy and efficient. Our accommodations were perfect for our needs with easy access to the beach and a lovely beach view.
