Tides of 5

Important update regarding the ongoing work at Charleston Oceanfront Villas. While the original project completion date was scheduled for April 2025, recent updates from the HOA and project managers indicate some delays that may extend the timeline.
As of February 2025, the following key updates apply:
Ongoing Construction: Work is continuing on various parts of the property, which may cause noise, temporary disruptions, or restricted access to certain areas.
Updated Completion Date: While the HOA and contractors are working diligently to complete the project as quickly as possible, they now anticipate that the construction may extend beyond early June 2025. We will provide further updates as the project progresses.
Safety and Accessibility: The HOA asks all rental guests to take care around construction zones. Signs and barriers will be in place to ensure safety, but please remain cautious when navigating these areas.
Pool Schedule: The west-end pool is scheduled to open on April 1, 2025, and the east-end pool is scheduled to open in July 2025.
Parking: Due to ongoing construction, parking is expected to be extremely limited. The HOA will be distributing a maximum of two parking passes per villa.
We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as the HOA works to enhance the property. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.

Oceanfront And Outstanding Views.

We always stay at Charleston Ocean Villas when we come to Folly Beach. We love that all the condos are oceanfront and we can easily walk to the quaint downtown. Charleston is only about a 15 minute drive. You can keep as busy as you want or do nothing but walk the beach. We usually come off season - we have visited in January, March and October. We look forwarding to our next trip to Folly Beach and Charleston Ocean Villas.

Great weekend escape from northern cold

Overall the property is great with amazing views, especially a beach vs snow.A few very minor changes would be helpful but didn't detract from the overall enjoyable visit. A bit warmer water for showers given the colder temps while there, a few basic kitchen items, and some more closet hangers for some professional clothes needed for an event. Property managers were amazing, and extremely attentive.

July Getaway

This was a great oceanfront property, everything was as advertised and it was just a very short walk to shops, etc, downtown. The only negative was the elevator worked sporadically and we were on the 4th floor. Other than that, it was a great stay.

Awesome condo

Absolutely the perfect condo. We have stayed twice and enjoyed it both times. The only complaint is there need to be a center entrance to the beach from the elevator but that has nothing to do with this rental.

Family Gathering

Great location with the beach and restaurants/shops all within walking distance. Property is a bit dated and it is time for new mattresses/pillows (at least the queen bed). We had other family members in a nearby condo which was certainly nicer (recently updated)

Oceanfront condo

This is the fourth time staying at Charleston Ocean Villas…the first in this condo. We love the area…quiet but close to downtown Charleston is walk, see historical houses, shop etc. The photos are accurately depicted. The view from the balcony is amazing.. We will most definitely be back.

Beautiful beach vacation

Everything was incredible, with the exception of one thing. The cookware was so old and difficult to use. The nonstick pans were missing their nonstick and/or handles. It made for cooking a bit stressful. But it was very clean and comfortable. And being right in the beach was incredible.

Easy breezy getaway!

Our first trip to Folly and we couldn't have been happier. The location was great - oceanfront views and a quick walk to the beach allowed us to maximize our time. The property itself was wonderful. Bedrooms were comfortable, each containing a full bath. Kitchen was utilized daily from pre-beach breakfasts, margaritas and midday snacking. Given the spacious balcony that overlooked the ocean, there wasn't a better spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and take in the scenery. Town was beautifully accessible, as we walked to numerous local restaurants. The rental car was only required for time spent in Charleston, runs to Harris Teeters, and ultimately the airport. This trip created many Folly memories and has us longing to create more in the future.

Location and View

There was some good and bad with the property. Starting with the view. It is incredible being on the top floor and it seems like you can see forever in both directions. The location is very nice as well. You can walk a few block to many restaurants in the area. The property is dated and there is some fairly major ceiling damage due to roof leaks. There is also wallpaper coming off the walls in many locations. The areas that have been updated have been done well. The furniture and beds are all comfortable and the credit on the rental equipment is an added bonus.

Needs some work

Unit needs some TLC Ceilings have water damage from unit above in two bedrooms, wallpaper peeling off the walls and held together with scotch tape. The elevator for the entire complex is super slow and has not been inspected for over 3 years. You pay an exorborant amount for a cleaning fee and expected to do most of the work yourself.
