This house has everything you need and it’s close to all you would want on your vacation! Charleston is not far and we took a day trip there!

We had a great time. The house was very nice. The main living space is on the top floor giving a great view of both the marsh and ocean. It does mean lots of stairs to climb, however.

We loved this property! Great , quiet location on Folly. Easy access to beach, and beautiful marsh views from the back deck! We witnessed breathtaking sunrises and sunsets every day. Nice kitchen, well furnished rooms, and comfortable beds. Also very dog friendly....we brought our puppy, and she enjoyed the fenced back yard! We hope to return.

Great property in a quiet location. Loved the fenced yard and being able to bring our dog. If you or your dog has issues with stairs, this isn’t the property for you. Easy to check in/out. We had no issues while staying here for Thanksgiving.

I had a group of 6 celebrating some 50th birthdays. We could NOT have been more pleased with our stay. The house was immaculate, well appointed, in a convenient location (especially regarding beach access.) We especially liked the widow’s watch and the views it allowed. Next time I’m at Folly with a larger group, we shall look no further for a perfect place to stay.

Once upon a Tide exceeded our expectations. Located toward the end on the North side of Folly Beach. Views from the home are amazing. 360*. You can even see the Rav bridge. Common area
Is large enough for 6-8 people and located on top floor with the amazing views. Bedrooms were
Comfortable and adequate in size. Loved our stay due to location and privacy. Even saw some Dolphin in the causeway.

We had an enjoyable stay at the property. Comfortable beds, house stocked well with supplies including towels. A bit tough to get all of our supplies & stuff up to 3rd floor. Regarding check in- We were told that if property was ready prior to 4pm we would be notified via text. Didn't receive anything. We arrived about 20-30 minutes prior to 4pm check in and with heat in the mid 90s and lugging all our stuff up 2 flights of stairs, we hoped the code to door was activated but it wasn't. Initially we could not get a hold of anyone via phone but was finally able to receive text to get door open. All in all, would recommend this property. We enjoyed our week!

This house could be great but it’s not yet there. A couple of things not mentioned in the overview, (1) you have to climb to the third floor, not all of it covered, to access the house...every time. (2) you must enter a six digit key code to open the door...every time.
Also, many lights either didn’t work or were unplugged and the bath mats were so thick you couldn’t open the bathroom doors or you would wedge the door on the mat. On the main level the bathroom is in the bedroom and the switch did not work anything in the bedroom so finding the bathroom at night was a challenge. The sheets were rubbish but the master bed was extraordinarily comfortable for a rental. We also enjoyed the charcoal grill, however, the outdoor spaces were not really big enough to accommodate our group which was far less than the number this house will sleep. Plus grilling on the ground level with the kitchen three flights up with a six digit key code made grilling less enjoyable than it could be.
The neighborhood is quiet but it is 3 miles from the commercial area on the island which has parking fees of $15 - $20.
There were ample towels in the hallway but I think it’s a stretch to say the kitchen is well stocked and you have to scootch sideways to access the sitting area. We found the house dark and with the many posted rules and regulations a little unwelcoming. It could be nice with more attention to detail but right now it’s just not.

The property was just as advertised. Our family, from Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina, enjoyed our time together. Even though it was one of the coldest Christmases we’ve experienced, we had a good time. Property manager responded promptly when we had trouble with the keypad on the second day. We had from two to eight people during our stay.

House is well apportioned. Great kitchen supplies. Good beds. Wonderful vie of marsh and small view of ocean. Odd thing is there’s no bathtub in the house, only showers. My toddler grandson did not appreciate that. There is some mold on the ceilings at the A/C vents. Saw dog hair on the wood floor. Close to the beach, quiet enough. Road in front of the house is busy, not safe for young kids to ride bikes.

Great week with family. We loved the backyard and the beautiful sunsets off the back porch. The proximity to the beach was excellent. It was nice to be on the quiet end of Folly.

The home was beautiful! Very close to the beach, unmatched views, spacious for a large group! We hosted friends from Italy and we all had a beautiful vacation. There are a lot of steps which was no problem for us but could be for others. Highly recommend!

We originally booked this property for a group, (3) couples, but only 1 couple was able to make it. Property is very nice and clean, and would work well for group. We wanted to use the grill, but propane was out. We made a phone call and the manager had it replaced and cleaned up within a couple hours. Great stay!

This property is in a nice location with beautiful views; however, it was not very clean with mold in the upper bathroom, and the fan over the stove was covered with it. The kitchen floors were also noted to be dirty when we used a wet paper towel to wipe up a water spill, and the paper towel came up brown.
The stove/oven was unusable the first 2.5 days we were there because the rental company didn’t send anyone for repairs until Monday, a regular business day. I’m assuming to avoid weekend rates.
The issue was actually an electrical issue, and the kitchen outlets had to be replaced. Fortunately, the refrigerator was on a different circuit, and we didn’t lose our food.
Regular maintenance and cleaning would go along way in making this a better rental property, which has a good layout and is pet friendly with a nice fence in the backyard.

Located on a quieter stretch of Folly with beach access across the street. Great house for a family with kids. Amazing views and very quiet.

We love this property! The beds were comfortable it was well laid out. The pictures of the view you have don't do it justice-the view of the of the ocean was spectacular.
The walk to the beach took us only a couple of minutes. We walked the beach which was ver clean every morning
We went 1 week after hurricane and the owner had excellent communication with us about the affects it had on the property.
Thank you Laura-My kids want to come again
