Great location, easy to access the beach and town. Hand sanitizer throughout the facility for safety, and the beach was right out the door and welcome change of scenery during the pandemic. Recommend it for anyone needing to get away!

Thank you for the communication, cleanliness, and availability of this beautiful condo. Treating my family members to an oceanfront vacation experience was something I’ve wanted to do for a time and having had the experience! Worth the money, after all you can’t put a price tag on memories!

The condo complex was clean and well kept. Easy access to beach and within walking distance to multiple local restaurants and shops, very convenient! The condo unit itself was clean and the perfect setup for our family of 4 plus grandparents. The location at the corner of the building gave for amazing beach and ocean views! Also near stairwell on second floor so quick and easy access to the ground floor when we didn’t want to take the elevator. Overall a great experience and we plan to book this condo again in the future.

For the first time ever, we decided to do a Christmas away from home (primarily induced by COVID) and are we glad we did!!! Property was very clean - like amazingly clean. Description of the property was spot-on. We would stay again for sure! Great location within walking distance to everything Folly Beach has to offer - restaurants, bars, shops, grocery stores. One minor suggestion: please provide more garbage bags for kitchen trash/recycling and kitchen towels for dishes. Other than that, we had everything we needed. It was a great way to spend a holiday with family.

Great condo. Super well appointed with supplies, especially the kitchen! Pics and condition were accurate. I did tell rental agency, the building itself, outside of the condo, could use a good power-washing, so when you arrive, don’t be freaked out by the cleanliness of the stairwell and elevator. Also, the wind cuts through the slider doors, so if anyone is a light sleeper, earplugs are recommended for master bed and sofa sleepers. The rental agency is very responsive and helpful. We would rent this condo again. Very comfortable for six adult sized people.

Very well appointed condo that was clean and well maintained. Photos on website are very accurate as to furnishings. Easy access to beach. Nice, well furnished balcony overlooking ocean. Only issue is that blankets were of poor quality. All three bedrooms need blanket upgrade. If you stay at Folly Beach you will definitely need a car. Uber service is poor and we had to scramble to get a transfer to the airport. Restaurants in Folly Beach are average. Basic beach food. Much better options in town, but you have a bit of a drive to access. Would opt for cooking in if we come back for a longer stay. Would definitely rent this unit again when we return.
