This condo is absolutely beautiful. I loved the master bedroom with the full sliding glass doors. I miss it terribly.The only request that I would suggest is that there was better silverware and cooking utensils. The stove when using the oven gave off a burning smell.I loved this condo so much and hope to return to it.Waking up to the beautiful sunrise coming through the doors was an absolute joy

Fantastic Beach Getaway

This condo was excellent. It had TWO master suites, which was great cause us and my parents could both stay in a suite facing the ocean. It also had plenty of space for our children. Since there are 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms everyone had their own bathroom. Short walk to restaurants and shops and a great place to stay for the annual Flip Flop Drop!

Family weekend getaway

Absolutely beautiful condominium with space enough for 8 of us to have our own space and not be on top of one another. Management company was excellent at handling small issues and their response was rapid. The location is close enough to walk to restaurants and attractions in the area and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Would definitely use the accommodation again!

Great location. Great property. Unit, just okay.

Unit was okay. Was it FINE? Yes. Was it great? No. It needs an overall deep clean and an overhaul. New fixtures, new paint, updated switches and plugs, etc. Old furniture and decor. Furniture doesn’t make sense. Stools don’t fit bar height. Old kitchen cabinets and kitchen supplies. Needs professional window treatments for sun blocking. We booked last minute and it was fine. We definitely will do Folly again, but will rent a different unit. NOTE: this has nothing to do with management, and purely the unit itself.

Friends Getaway

The location was perfect and the ease of check in was very desirable. It would have been nice to have more supplies in the VRBO because we had to go and purchase paper products, toilet paper, soap, etc. which is not something you want to do when you arrive for vacation and would have been challenging if we did not rent a car. Our condo had 4beds and 4 baths which was perfectly for our group of 4 couples. The bars and restaurants were within walking distance. Rita's was our very favorite!

Fun at Folly

The location is excellent and the views are amazing! Had a little trouble with initial parking code before we got the fobs. Only downside is the lack of coverage on the large balcony and no umbrellas or shade at the pool.

Mostly Good

The convenient location and great beach access were great, as was the pool and comfortable living area. However, the beds tended to be hard, giving back pain to several in our party. The lighting in the bedrooms was very poor, except for the patio doors which let in too much light in the morning because of the poor drapes..

Good, bad and the ugly

Good: Beach access, layout of condo, furniture and mattresses comfortable and ac works great. Bad: Small one person kitchen, no top sheets on some beds, pillows flat, pools closed multiple days, no umbrella's at pool, knives in kitchen are real dull, no large serving spoons, not any large bowls and no refrigerator storage containers. Ugly: Clothes dryer is fire hazard and doesn't dry clothes, refrig leaks/ freezer door doesn't close properly and doesn't cool properly on lower shelves. Everyone checks in at the same time with one elevator on each side of complex which took forever to get up to the 4th floor condo.

Ocean Getaway

This property is in a great location. Walking distance to all the restaurants and on the beach. Check in and out were very easy. Besides aluminum foil and plastic bags, the unit has everything you would need. Plenty of linens and towels and enough in the kitchen to cook. The washer was leaking when we got there and the dishwasher doesn't work great. The internet also doesn't work. We did the troubleshooting and it didn't help. The password is correct but the internet just doesn't connect correctly. Without internet there is no TV. We ended up having to use our hotspot on our phone to watch the TV. I texted the management company about all of this and they did not respond. We used an umbrella/chair company to rent stuff for the beach and they were great. The unit was set up nicely with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with comfortable furniture. The pictures make it look bigger, brighter, and newer than it is, but for a folly stay on the beach within walking distance to everything it's great. It was nice that it was available for a 2 night stay as well since most rentals are not. Great place for a quick stay with 4 women all wanting their own bathrooms. I'd stay there again, just would have a little lower expectations. I'm not sure it was worth $1000 a night but still a great place.

The rental process was smooth and the location of our condo couldn’t have been more perfect. Unfortunately, our condo was shabby especially considering the price we paid. The blinds on all the oceanfront rooms were broken or missing. It needed some upkeep and a deep cleaning.

Walking distance to the local shops and restaurants. Very relaxing and amazing 2021 family vacation!! Loved that each room had its own bathroom for privacy.

The beach isn't the only thing hot here.

When I first get to my condo I want to unpack. Only there were no hangers in any of the four bedrooms. The master bedroom was a minimum of 85 degrees. I turned on the box fan they had in the room and it made the 1980's plastic blinds all clank and clap. No one was able to sleep in that bedroom. I paid for a 4 bedroom condo and got a three. It takes 3 hours to wash a load of laundry. That doesn't count drying it. The bathrooms were beautiful and of course the beach and ocean are wonderful, as are the restaurants. I will stay at these condos again, just not 403. I feel like the owners should stay a week and see how the place funtions. And having a 7 digit code to remember for the door was a hassle. I finally had it memorized by day five.
