Great family apartment in Folly Beach

Perfect apartment for our family. It was spotless & had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Loved the floor plan, it worked perfectly for a toddler who went to bed earlier than adults! Really close to beach as the listing said.

Quiet Retreat but Still Close to the Action

This authentic beach getaway is located within two blocks from the beach and one block of Center St where all the restaurants, stores and action are located. Yet, when you return “home” it is quiet, peaceful and private.

Folly Wedding

Very nice property in a great location. Private with only a short walking distance to the beach and Center Street. Weather was prefect for sitting on the front porch. The host Tara has been a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely consider this property for our next Folly trip.

Relaxing Spring Break getaway at the SC Shores

Wonderful property located just a few blocks from the beach. Easily walkable. Newly updated and spacious three bedroom getaway - was great for our family of four. Everyone had their own space and lots of gathering space for movie watching and games. Tara made check-in/out so easy. Everything was as listed and in working condition. Wifi was great too with two parents working and two tweens wanting to remain connected! Fell in love with Folly Beach - everything is walkable. Talk a walk out to the lighthouse at the end of the island - very special. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay!

We had a great stay!

We were there as a family for a week in August. We liked it very much! The house has 2 separate units. We rented the upper unit. The apartment offers a lot of space thanks to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is also a private parking space, which is very convenient. the apartment is very tastefully and functionally furnished. We lacked absolutely nothing. Also the location is perfect. To the beach it is actually only a few steps. Restaurants are also just around the corner. Tara is a very friendly host and very responsive.

Perfect Location!

The home was clean and bright! The decor was coastal without being tacky. We loved the hardwood floors. They gave the home an elegant feel and they were a blessing for our allergies. This home is about as perfect of a location as you can ask for. Getting to the beach was easy...just a straight path about two blocks from the house. Bringing a beach buggy makes it effortless. We like to eat our meals at the local restaurants and many are just a block away. Yet it didn't feel noisy at the house. Highly recommend this rental!

All good

Like location, stairs were a bit of issue, needs more lighting at feet. Also in small bath didn’t like shower / bath, was tough for someone older with it being hard to enter and if someone slipped nothing to hold to. Could be a safety issue. Overall enjoyed the space and was surprised to how quite it was. Liked that all switches we labeled.

Comfortable, clean and lovely house close to everything

We loved staying here, very clean and loved the modern updates while the more historic features including gorgeous hardwoods. Two porches including one very large one, perfect for taking in all of the sights and sounds of Folly. The house is close to everything and you can hear the sounds of live music and hustle and bustle of Folly but it's surrounded by many trees which gives it a quieter feel. Really loved this place!

Another fun Folly Beach vacation!

Great location! Close to beach, restaurants, Bert’s Market and Chico Feo. Kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed without being cluttered. Off street parking was easy. There are lots of steps so don’t pack your suitcase too heavy. We visit Folly once or twice a year to visit family in Charleston so we have stayed at multiple places. Our family of 4 (sometimes 5) would stay here again.
