Amazing property right on the beach
We LOVED our stay here. The direct beach access was perfect and the spot on the beach had a great tidal pool during low tide the kids played in. There is also a grassy area out back that had so many butterflies. Our toddler had a blast running around with his net catching and releasing butterflies. The house is old but cute and we'll decorated. The furniture was super comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, bowls, pans, etc for us to cook anything we needed. Unfortunately we had to relocate due to a maintenance issue early on, but the host was easy to work with and gave us good options to recover our stay. When we're back in Folly, this will be the first place we try to book as long as we all fit.

Early Exit
We were so disappointed our stay was cut short due to weather hurricane Debby and that we spent so much money for only one night. It definitely would not have been safe to stay in a little beach house that was build at sand level and the local restaurant workers advised us to leave although VRBO did not. We realize you cannot control the weather though some refund for unused days would have gone a long way.

Good House, Bad Smell
The house's layout and location were perfect for our family. Management was very responsive and flexible. That said, the house smells strongly of creosote (somewhere between kerosene and mothballs). The bottom floor was likely constructed of creosote-treated phone poles (common at the beach) and enclosed after the upstairs was built. As a result, the creosote poles offgas noticeably into the house. If you are sensitive to smells this may be an issue. Management was very nice about it, but there is no way to address the smell.

Family beach vacation
Location awesome. Even with neighbors above it was quiet. Great access to the beach. Only negative - beds are very worn, and master bed is very creaky.

The house was well stocked with everything we needed for a family of four and a beach vacation. Property management communicated quickly with us when we had questions. Town is a short bike trip away and the beach, well, is right out the back door!

Very cute beach bungalow. Great beach access. Walking distance to Folly Beach shops and restaurant
There were a couple of maintenance issues. One of the bathroom doorknobs fell off, and the bathroom sink did not drain very well. We would have really appreciated if a couple of beach towels were available. Loved the beach decor, the porch and swing!!

Amazing family vacation
We absolutely loved this house right on the beach. It was perfect for our family (mom, dad, kids (3 and 5)) they had a few toys and puzzles there which the kids loved and kites for them to fly on the beach! The beach was amazing! Go watch the sunrise from the deck, it’s beautiful! The location is great too, we loved all the restaurants and stores at folley and it’s just a 15 min drive to Charleston.
