This is our 2nd trip to folly. This time we stayed in turtle bay. For several reasons: there was a pool, close to the beach and fishing access on the property. We rented a golf cart which I highly recommend due to parking restrictions. There are lots of free golf cart parking as opposed to paid parking for a car. And that gets pricey. We also found out after we had already rented the cart that there were several other rental places on folly that are cheaper. So check around. I have a few issues with this stay: the jacuzzi didn’t work. Not a huge deal, but it didn’t work. I didn’t know this until I ran the water, got in and tried to turn it on. Nothing. We got up early Wednesday to go on a fishing trip. When we opened the garage door, there was a car parked in our bay. The people who were staying next to us had more cars than the parking rules allowed and it looked like there was no one in our unit since we parked everything in the basement. So at 6:30 in the morning, my husband is beating on the door and ringing the doorbell trying to wake them up. Finally someone came to the door, with a barking dog I’ll add, and moved the car. The picture on the website of the basement and the “beach equipment” that we could use. There is pictured 2 kayaks along with other equipment which lead us to believe we would be able to use. Not the case. There was a sign on them that said for owner use only. That’s fine but don’t include those in the picture. Lastly, one day as we pulled back in from being out a repair van pulled in behind us and said he was there to fix the ice
maker in the fridge. I said I didn’t know you were coming. He said it’ll take about 30 minutes but you don’t have to be here. Um no, I rented this unit and I will not leave you here. So we stayed until he did whatever it was that he was doing. I did call the office on that one. First of all, he could have come in while the unit was being cleaned and did what he needed to do. Second, if that couldn’t be done, then we should be given the courtesy of a phone call because if I had walked in and someone was in our unit, he would have more than likely been hurt. This is a beautiful unit with plenty of room. We have a teenage boy and girl and they had their own room with a bathroom which is nice. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch as well. We will more than likely stay here again but I would like to have a unit with a better view. Turtle Bay is easily accessible too.
