Folly Beach

We enjoyed a few days here at Folly beach. The house is a typical, relaxed beach house 1 minute walk from lovely Folly Beach. It was a 15-20 minute walk to the area with shops and restaurants. Great for a small group stay.

Great location and a cute little house. There was no gas grill as stated, and we had to clean, sweep and wipe down the house before we were comfortable bringing our things in. It is tough to keep a beach house clean, so that is understandable.

Great Location and Cute Beach House

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute beach house located directly across from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again. The only issue was there weren’t enough beach chairs and no beach towels.

Lovely week at Folly

It’s a quaint beach cottage with lovely decor and excellent location , making it a great value for the price. Very easy beach access in a quiet part of the island. Comfortable master bed/mattress. Good seating for the size. Nice outdoor space. We would have appreciated beach gear, such as chairs, but the property manager does provide rental information. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Little Getaway

The location of this property was perfect for accessing the beach and provided ample parking. Having a hose and outdoor shower area was great. I would recommend having a rubber mat (with holes) in the outdoor shower area instead of standing on the wooden deck boards. The kitchen area was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The bathroom was fine and ample bath towels were provided. The washer/dryer and second bathroom are easily accessed on the lower level outside of the home. The television could be updated to a larger size and the two chairs in the living were not very comfortable. The outdoor gas grill was a little dated but worked fine. The lower swinging chairs, underneath the deck, were great for relaxing and the outer upstairs deck was great for sitting and listening to the ocean waves while enjoying an evening beverage. All in all it was a good beach house, located just far enough outside of the main strip, to provide a nice and enjoyable stay at a decent cost. Great little getaway.

Close to beach

Pros- This was a cute little cottage near public beach access. We enjoyed the privacy and parking space. The area under the deck had some lovely shade and nice swings to relax in. There was a full sized washer and dryer below the unit and a hose to rinse off sand. Cons- The air stopped working the last 2 days into our visit. It was very hot. The first night we thought maybe it was a fluke- we had been with family all day and it had been very hot outside so we went to bed, not thinking much of it. The next day it seemed the same and only got worse. We contacted the manager of the property and she was very quick to reply and relocated us the last evening into a condo closer to the restaurants- so it was actually a free upgrade. Prior to the last two nights, the air was SUPER COLD and comfortable. Prior to the air situation, my only complaint is that the area on the rugs were not swept well and there was no shade on the balcony to keep you cool.

Best aspect of this rental is the location. Across the street and one house over is the beach access. When we walked in the house, the first thing we noticed were that two couch slipcovers were FILTHY. Overall dirty with dirt spots and stains. Some were yellow large round stains. After contacting mgmt company, they insisted that the covers had been recently and professionally cleaned. There is no way that can be true. They also stated that the slipcovers are professionally cleaned twice a year. Gross! They offered to bring over blankets for us to cover the couches with but we declined and did our own covering with sheets. New slipcovers were supposedly then ordered, but that did not help us. Overall, it’s a decent house, but could use a deep clean i.e layer of dust on ceiling fans, dirty bathroom floor that is well past its life. We also encountered three palmetto bugs during our stay. Entry point for bugs may be the rusted hole at the bottom of the front door. We had a nice visit to Folly, as usual, but house was a bit underwhelming. Oh, and closet in main bedroom is not available, so there is essentially no place to hang clothes except for a few wire hooks over the door.

Won’t be back

Folly beach While I am very hesitant to leave a bad review, I cannot in good conscience leave a favorable review. For starters, when we drove up to the property it is very clear that it needs a good pressure wash and paint job. The only staircase that leads to the inside of the house is very precarious at best. The steps end at the grass, but to the side is a landing to get to the half bath and porch area that is not level with the steps. My sister actually fell at that point of the staircase and broke her wrist. Also, the property description boasts of a fabulous ocean view. Although the beach access is close and convenient, we could only see a tiny slice of the ocean to the left and across the street from the deck, so to label it a fabulous ocean view is a gross overstatement. As for the inside, it is decorated nicely but is in much need of a good wall scrubbing and paint job. Also, the rugs in the kitchen and den were very worn and dirty. The lights over the stove and one at the front door did not work. Lastly, we completely disagree that 5 people can sleep comfortably there. That may be true if you have two adults and three small children, but even then there’s no place to put luggage etc. One of the beds is a bunk bed in which a child could easily navigate the top bunk stairs, but that is not necessarily the case for an adult. For all these reasons above I cannot leave more than a 2 star rating.
