We reserved this home for our first Thanksgiving in South Carolina. Our experience at this home was mixed, and thus this review. The home was billed as a luxury retreat close to beach on Folly. Clearly the home is beautiful and has easy access to the beach but is showing some signs of wear. The carpet coming into the home is somewhat soiled as is the rug at the top of the landing. We have stayed in other rentals and in comparison here, found the stocking of items like paper towel, soap, [no dishwashing soap for the dishwasher] and the world's tiniest kitchen sponge [looked like they had cut a regular-sized sponge into quarter sizes], and dregs of laundry soap left in the bottle, as disconsonant with the concept of "luxury," Likewise, we found that instead of being ready to light the gas fireplace, after trouble-shooting it, that we had to insert new batteries [we purchased] for the starter. Little things like that made the overall experience at Thanksgiving feel less than gracious. As for maintenance, we called because the washing machine didn't at first work [unless you lean on the door, we learned] came out on Thanksgiving, and for that we commend them. All in all, I would say that it would be a great place for a group in the summer--but be forewarned that the elevator isn't for guests and the trek to the third floor with luggage is a long one. It would be a challenging place for young children or the elderly. It is a beautiful place, just not quite up to expectations.
