My family and I really fully enjoyed our stay here. It is a great location and an even better that helps to accommodate all of your needs. The only recommendation(s) I have is a retractable roof for the patio. In addition, more room for parking because it can get a little cramped if someone is staying in the upstairs unit during your stay. Besides that everything else was perfect.

Great HQ for a weekend in the Charleston area. Local spots for seafood, even pizza delivery (make sure you know if you’re East or West on the island!) Property was clean, located right on the beach. Comfortable beds.

We stayed on the beach!

My daughter and I visited and were amazed as we drove into the driveway. This home was perfectly situated on the beach as its backyard! We loved listening to the waves and seeing dolphins from our windows. We woke up to bright orange sunrises and enjoyed coffee while walking along the water. Such a special home and location.

Dolphin

My stay at the Dolphin was exactly what we needed. It was quiet, quaint, and out of the way. This end of Folly is quiet yet close enough to the hustle and bustle of you wish to access it. Definitely would receive this property to anyone looking to refresh and recharge.
