Great trip to Folly Beach

We had a wonderful time here - the location couldn’t be better - fun days at the beach and lovely quiet evenings on the semi-private deck. It’s also very close and convenient to all of the amenities of Folly Beach and a quick trip into Charleston.

Great dog friendly Folly getaway

We had a great time staying in this little condo. It had everything we needed, it's in an amazing location, AND it's dog friendly. We were able to walk to the market and to various restaurants that would allow our pup on the property. Other than the slightly chilly weather, it was a great getaway!

The room was nice and clean. The only complaint I have is that I felt like I was in a fish bowl since the room was directly in front of the stairs. There was no privacy at all.

Perfect Location!

The condo is exactly as pictured/described. The living room is cozy and our bed was comfy! The decor is very cute! We never needed to use it, but I love that there’s a washer and dryer right off the living room. We were able to bring our two dogs which was a huge plus for us. The best thing is that it’s right on the beach! We just had to walk down the stairs and take the boardwalk directly to the sand. Perfect!

Lovely beach escape

We very much enjoyed our week at this beachfront condo. The owner/manager was easy to communicate with and very accessible, which was helpful and appreciated. Walking straight onto the beach for walks along the surf, and into town, which was right there with many restaurant selections (and an excellent massage therapist.!), and bicycling through the wonderful neighborhoods were activities made easy with this great location. Highly recommended!

Fantastic winter getaway!

I stayed here with my dog for a break from the northeast winter. The proximity to the beach and center street could not be better. It’s a block or two from the bars and restaurants, so you don’t have noise from that, but you DO get the views and sounds of the ocean. I felt very safe walking by myself at night, though I would recommend buying a light up leash or collar for your dog if you have once, since the streets aren’t brightly lit at night. The location was also convenient to get on/off the island, if you’re planning to do any trips to Charleston (35 min drive to downtown).The condo was well furnished and clean. It had ample pots and pans for cooking, and it’s right around the corner from Bert’s market which has cooking essentials. The hosts were communicative, and when I had an issue with a bug (nothing to do with the condo, just the reality of South Carolina!) they were very understanding.

Lovely area despite restrictions on beach access

The property has been seriously upgraded since our stay a few years ago. It is freshly painted and refurbished. Owners were pet friendly to our 70 pound boxer. Unfortunately, the first two days of our stay were somewhat inconvenienced by the fact (undisclosed by the property owner) that beach access was closed to the public for a major dredging project to remediate surf erosion. We were able to access the beach a block away in early morning and evenings to walk our boxer and later in our stay, directly from the walkway serving the building.

Great little condo

My dog and I loved staying at this condo. There were a couple of minor issues, but the host was very responsive and helpful. The location is perfect and the condo is cozy. It's important to note that there is no elevator, and there are a total of 33 stairs to climb to get to this unit (4 sets of 8 plus an extra step at ground level). It seems like a lot, but it's only really an issue if you have a lot of heavy bags to tote up the stairs. My aunt was able to climb all the stairs with her oxygen tank. Definitely thinking about making this an annual stay.

I loved my stay in Folly Beach. Linda was easy to communicate with and the booking/check in was trouble-free. My stay at this condo was beyond my expectations. The unit was extremely clean and welcoming. The directions on how to get to the condo were clear and instructions on how to access the amenities were concise. The unit is located right on the beach. Beautiful sunrises every morning and breathtaking sunsets in the evenings. Fantastic restaurants and shopping are well within walking distance. Come see for yourself!

Nice Place with a Greta Location

My wife and I came down to Folly beach for a long weekend. This condo worked great for us. It is a nice one bedroom condo. It was in a great location within easy walking distance to the pier and restaurants downtown Folly Beach. The accommodations were nice. The kids size bed worked great. There was only a bar with a couple of high chairs, no dinning table. There were a few beach chairs outside the unit that we could use. No beach towels so make sure to bring your own. There is a washer and dryer that was shared with the unit next door. We did not use this. One down side is the balcony is shared with all of the other units. You have your own chairs but the stairs are right in front of this unit. This doesn’t give you a very good view and everyone coming up will look right into your unit. Everyone was friendly staying there. We love Folly Beach and will definitely make it back.
