Vacation Vibes

One of the best experiences we’ve had with a rental house! Couldn’t be cleaner which is our number 1! The description and pics are exactly the same in person! The backyard is an oasis! The pool and hot tub were amazing!! We spent almost all day everyday out there between meals and some beach play with our pup. It’s very dog friendly house and town. Even has clean up station in the backyard. The social media team (instagram) for the sea urchin is also fabulous. Couldn’t be more helpful and sweet! Gave great suggestions for the area and any info we could possibly need on the house/yard/property itself! I would 10000% recommend this property and would return myself! We had a great time! Our fur baby says thanks for having him and making him feel spoiled and special too!!!

Cozy home with a great pool and easy walk to the beach!

We love staying here with our 2 kids and dogs! The house is sampled with only 2 bedrooms and one bath but the owner has done a good making the best of the space. Super easy walk to the beach. We love the backyard space and the front porch! We will definitely stay here again!!!

The O group experience

This was our second year at Sea Urchin and this house is still fantastic for our little family! The pool and backyard was pretty large for the size of the house and love the walking distance to the beach. Our daughter had a blast at the pool. We went for July 4th week and I will say it’s so much better to have a home with a pool this size than dealing with the large crowd of people at the beach. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here…you will not be disappointed! The house may be small but the backyard and pool is great!

Vacation perfection

I loved everything about this place. It was beautifully decorated, comfy with everything you could need. I loved the front porch swing and the huge shower but most of all, I loved the backyard. We were mere steps from the beach but rarely made it because of the perfect pool and yard. Thank you for a magical weekend!

Sea Urchin Veterans

This is our third time to Folly and second time staying at sea urchin. We have already booked for next summer. The house is great, feels like home, and in a great spot close to the beach and just close enough to center street. The owners and Vacasa are very communicative and helpful couldn’t feel better about our stay.

Great place for all the family!

We adore The Sea Urchin! Location was perfect and having the option of the beach or a pool was fantastic. We took our spring break on Folly beach so that we could visit our freshman at CofC. Everyone - including our pups - had a great time! We will be back for sure!

Perfection

Finally the perfect size a house for me, my hubby and pup. We struggle to find a home that’s pet friendly and has a fenced in backyard with 3+ bedrooms we won’t use. This beautiful home has everything we need and more. The screened in porch is a great place to read in the shade and the pool was perfect for sunning and cooling off without the hassle of sand or beach chairs. We can’t wait to go back!

Perfect Beach Cottage

We had a wonderful week at the Sea Urchin! It is so clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated. The backyard is a paradise and we felt very safe having our dog there with the fenced in yard and enclosed porch. We so loved the pool and the hot tub and the proximity to the beach (and town)! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Backyard

The pool and backyard really makes the Sea Urchin a 5 star getaway! The house is on the small side but it was just two of us and our pups so it worked out perfect for us. House was clean and nicely decorated. and was just a 2 minute walk to the beach.

Cozy beach house great for small family (just need to fix hot tub)

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Urchin. It was great for a small family of four plus a small dog. Quick walk to the beach and neighborhood park. The backyard was a perfect spot for the family to hang out. That all being said, there are two main reasons that I took off two stars. The hot tub was not hot when we got there and after several hours of trying to get it to work and text exchanges with the company I had to reset the breaker panel every time we wanted to heat the hot tub up. And it was not always clear if it was heating up. We would have to start the process an hour or two before we wanted to get in and sometimes wouldn’t know if it was actually heating up (there are no indicators of the heat being on so you’re basically doing trial and error). This is a big deal when the main purpose you select this property (and pay the premium price) is due to the hot tub amenity. Second, the door knob on the bathroom was broken (kept falling off) and my 5 year actually old got stuck in there (door handle fell completely off). Luckily I had pliers in my car and was able to open the door without the knob. Fix these issues and the property becomes 5 stars.

Great place but didn't fulfill on the description

First let me say that the house and location are very nice. Everything was as expected, except for the pool, which is the reason for the 3 stars. We booked the place at the end of 2021 for a Thanksgiving 2022 stay. The description mentioned a heated pool and to let Vacasa know what days you would like heat for an additional charge (very reasonable). We thought this would be great for the mild November weather at Folly Beach. About a week before the stay, I reached out to Vacasa and inquired about the heated pool and they indicated that it was no longer heated. Long story short, they asked for proof that the listing indicated a heated pool. Of course I couldn't locate any because everything is via a link which can be (and was) updated to reflect that "the pool is no longer heated". The whole family was disappointed that we didn't have a heated pool. I asked if something could be done and after a few exchanges, Vacasa just stopped responding.

Perfect oasis!

The Sea Urchin was the ideal place for our family of 4, and our pup. The location was not only conveniently located just a short walk to the beach, but the pool and backyard overall was the perfect relaxing oasis. The closed in porch also made it easy for us, especially the kids and pup, to enjoy watching traffic go by. The only very minor thing I would have liked was more drawer space in the master bedroom, but it was not a big deal overall! We would definitely love to come back and stay again sometime.
