The weather was raining most every day. But the house was huge! We enjoyed our family time together.

Property was awesome! Would definitely book it again!

Location was perfect and the house fit our needs well. Loved the screen porch and the heated pool. It would’ve been nice if extra toilet paper, dishwasher, pods, and trash bags were provided. Check in with easy, however, the reason for the three star rating for check-in was that we were repeatedly told that the property would not be available before 4 PM, as such we did not plan to be there until that time. They called us the day of our check in at 10:30 to say that the property was available, at this point we couldn’t change our plans. It would’ve been nice to know ahead of time that we were being given this early check in and we would’ve been able to get there earlier and enjoy the property longer.

Had a fantastic time. House location is close to amazing restaurants and beach. The house is nice but could benefit from a deep clean. The pool was disappointing and the yard around the house needs cleaning as it is dirty and overgrown. Pool was unusable most of the week. Full of debris and could not be cleaned with just a skimmer.

Amazing location!

The location couldn't be more perfect, right across the street from the beach with immediate cross-over access. In addition, we could easily walk to town, and not have to worry about parking. The house was just as described and offered us the space we needed for our group of 7. Having the pool and pool table was great! We had a couple of minor issues, but the property management company addressed them immediately. The room with multiple beds is definitely more for children, as the beds didn't fit my 17 and 24-year-old. They both had to sleep sideways. In addition, the ceiling fan is low, and for tall people, somewhat of a hazard. We truly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!

Folly Beach was awesome!!

This property was more than expected!!! Large private pool (which was a game changer and life saver) in the massive heat!! Pool Table that we enjoyed every day and very spacious bedrooms and closets! We were a family of 6 and if definitely could have been 10 of us easily!! Every place and walking distance and a short 20min drive to Charleston was great! I highly recommend this property for everyone looking to have a great getaway!!!
