Relaxing winter break

Our second stay at Serenity was as delightful as the first 3 years ago. The condo is very well stocked. The beds are large and comfortable. The location is perfect for walking over to Folly or just lounging in the sun on the porch reading and watching the birds, boats and dolphins pass by. Thank you Steven for making your lovely condo available for our winter getaway.

Fantastic Place

This condo was perfect for our needs. The screened in porch was absolutely wonderful and the view is beautiful. Sunsets from the dock were incredible! This condo is the best equipped rental I have ever stayed. It has everything you could possible need and the electric grill was great! The location is convenient to the small town and beautiful beach. Thank you for a great vacation! Joyce

Family Getaway

Beautiful and Clean! Very roomy for 2 bedroom/2 bath condo! Lovely view of the river and got to see dolphins every day! Nicely stocked and nice gesture with the bottle of wine and key lime cookies. We will defiantly consider staying here again. Love the location as it was convenient to a lot of sites.

Little slice of paradise

It was just a 2 night stay but the condo had all the vacation amenities you could want for a much longer stay. With one exception - the beautiful back porch was crying out for a hot tub! That's really our only tiny suggestion for an enhanced stay in paradise!

Lovely Property in Folly Beach Area

We have stayed at a number of VRBOs and this has been one of my favourites. The home is clean, roomy for our party of 4, close to Folly Beach, very well appointed with everything you need, and communication with the hosts was excellent. From a relaxing afternoon on the enclosed patio, to a quick drive to Folly Beach or a longer drive into Charleston, the home was a lovely base from which we explored Charleston. Highlights for our stay included Crosby's Fish and Shrimp Co on a friday evening for live blues and enjoyable food-truck food, hanging out on the Pier at Folly Beach, and visiting Fort Sumter, Magnolia Plantation, and downtown Charleston The drive into Charleston with traffic was about 30-40 minutes, but without traffic closer to 20 minutes.

Finding Peace on the Folly River

I knew we had picked a great vacation spot as soon as we walked in the door. The condo has been thoroughly updated with crisp, clean details. The place was spotless when we arrived, with a wide view of the river. Plenty of space to spread out. We loved the screened porch and sat outside as much as we could. Close to Charleston or the beach. I wish we had packed the paddle board to use the onsite boat launch. Nice pool, tennis courts, and bike/walking paths at the front of the complex.

Tranquility

Serenity is the place to stay if you’ll looking for a facility that offers quietness, sense of comfort and warmth. All amenities are provided and beds are so comfortable. You will love 💕 the screened porch. Seat; watch boats launch and dolphins frolic in Folly River. Location is perfect for touring the area and driving locally or into Charleston is piece of cake. Folly Pier is great place to soak in the warmth of the sun and people watch. Take great photos too! Great food at the pier restaurant. Definitely a vacation facility we look forward to returning to.

Spring Break getaway

This was a beautiful condo. Fully equipped kitchen, awesome porch, beach items, view of the Folly River and near Folly beach. We saw dolphins. We loved it. We had a little difficulty getting into the gate but the team was very responsive and helpful. The only thing I would change was the master bed. It was hard and sweaty. It felt like plastic was covering the mattress and it made for a difficult sleep. Thank you for the bottle of wine and cookies. They were a nice welcome. We hope to visit again! Thank you!

Fantastic atmosphere and stay

Fantastic ambience, and a we[[ equipped condo. Although we were not there to watch tv, we would still like to stay updated with news, etc.. The reliability of the tv and internet system was sporadic. This would be a problem, especially for foreigners.

Comfortable condo

Beautifuly decorated condo. Nice location with easy access to town. The only negative would be the guest room window shutters let in too much light from porch light. Curtains to close at night would solve the problem. Had a great time.

A serene week at Serenity

We spent 6 nights at this property and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The condo is located very close to Folly Beach, but just far enough away to provide a quiet and relaxing environment. Travel to downtown Charlston takes about 25 to 30 minutes. The hosts provided an extremely well furnished home. The kitchen was very complete. The beds were comfortable and the property was very quiet. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay

This two bedroom/2 bath unit is on the lower level and perfect for going onto Folly Beach (or getting around anywhere in Charleston/Mount Pleasant areas). Everything you would ever need with a bottle of wine to start your vacation!! The enclosed porch looks over Folly River which has plenty of views of dolphin, birds and boats.

34th Anniversary Weekend

The home was a beautiful place, located right on the river. It was very close to Folly Beach, and not too far from Charleston, the perfect location. We especially enjoyed the wall-to-wall, sliding glass doors in the living room in the primary bedroom, which led to a screened in back porch. The shower was amazing, with plenty of heat and water pressure. The hosts were very sweet, leaving us a bottle of wine and some delicious lemon cookies. It was our 34th anniversary and we enjoyed our stay so much! We would highly recommend this home.
