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!

Lovely place! We had a great time in a great setting. We couldn't have asked for a better accommodation. Weather was great with daily dolphin sightings.

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!

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.

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

by Kristine D
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. Even in April when the weather can be tricky, we maximized our time outside with family time inside the condo. Very kid friendly and check out was equally easy as checkin. 5 stars!

Great location, easy to access the beach and town. Hand sanitizer throughout the facility for safety, and the beach was right out the door and welcome change of scenery during the pandemic. Recommend it for anyone needing to get away!
