Quick spring break

The location was perfect. Beautiful view of the river and short walk to the beach. All the amenities you could want to occupy 7 teenage girls. Close to the pier and all of the shops and restaurants on Folly. The girls have already asked to make this an annual trip.

Wonderful House!

The house and the property were lovely and just as described. Our family enjoyed the fire pit and the views from the back deck. The house was very clean and well equipped (kitchen, bathrooms, tvs, and games/puzzles). Our family had a great week on Folly in this house!

Beautiful location

I booked this on a whim and was very pleased with the accommodations. Our group of five adults and two kids under 7 had plenty of space to spread out. The house is a short walk to the beach and a 20 min walk to downtown. We did not have luck catching crab at the crabbing dock, but did catch a few elsewhere. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to anyone interested.

Made Lots of Memories

We had a great trip! This house was perfect for our family group. The owners communicated with us and were very helpful during our entire stay. This is a large charming older cottage perfectly situated between the inner coastal waterway and the ocean with beautiful views of the sunset. The interior makes you feel as though you have stepped inside a coastal magazine. Thank you for allowing us to stay and make great memories!

Great Experience!!

Our stay exceeded our expectations. Everything we neededwas there especially for the kitchen. The layout for the home was perfect for large groups. The backyard was great with the firepit. Nice size deck for outside dining. The pics used to advertise the property were on point. We were not disappointed. I recommend this place for large families/groups. I do not recommend it for persons who have difficulty navigating stairs.

Family Reunion

We did not wish for anything. We had 9 adults and teens. Plenty of room for being together or being apart for some quiet time. Even with warm July temperatures we enjoyed sitting on deck with the umbrella raised for shade and watching the tide go in and out. We loved the bocce ball court and were very pleased with using the grill. Mostly we enjoyed walking to the beach. The downstairs hose and shower were handy for rinsing after the beach. The entire house is so cheerful and freshly painted. Love the natural light in the living area.

Perfect for extended family visit

We live here in town & just wanted a place for all our friends & family to stay when they came for our daughter’s hs graduation. We rented for a week & had about 10 people in the house on most of the nights with extra beds. The multiple levels make it easy for those that want to go to bed early to do so w/o forcing the rest to have to quiet down too much. The kitchen was well appointed w/quality pots & pans & dishes. All the beds were comfy (twin mattresses could be a little softer, but fine for kids). The fire pit & grill were perfect. We will definitely book again if we need another beach house

It'll do

The view of the marsh from the deck is gorgeous. Lots of great sunset photos. The path to the crabbing dock could use some maintenance and the dock itself could use some TLC. Multiple dolphin sightings from the deck. The part of the beach the access took us to was beautiful and not insanely crowded even during the week of Memorial Day. If you have to cart a ton of stuff to the beach, expect to add a block to your walk. We had a beach wagon to carry all of the shade tents, chairs, and umbrellas. There's no place to store your beach stuff on the front side of the house - the beach access side, so you have to walk around the block or carry your full wagons up a set of stairs and down another. The outdoor shower is great. Roomy, excellent water pressure and has hot water too! Air conditioning in the master and on the main level worked like a champ. Ground level got a bit muggy. The twin mattresses feel like they're only meant for young light children who can sleep anywhere. We were a group of 10 adult women and nobody in a twin bed slept comfortably. The other beds were very comfortable, but housekeeping needs to make sure the sheets they use are the right size for the bed. The bottom sheet in the master kept popping off the corners. The internet was quite spotty. Even the main TV kept disconnecting. We did report the issue to Vacasa but it never improved, even after rebooting the router. Also, the remote to the TV in the master was missing rendering it useless. Reported to Vacasa and never got a replacement. The owners do provide Netflix and Hulu, so if the internet is working you have access to those streaming apps. The porch light was on the fritz - reported to Vacasa - and wasn't fixed while we were there. Seems like there was an entire circuit out because the outside outlets weren't functional either. There was a housekeeping issue in the basement where some candy had been left under a bed. The ladies sharing that room felt like they were camping. Vacasa offered to send someone, but they decided that it wasn't worth the hassle. The kitchen is quite well stocked - except for forks. Some smaller spoons would be great too. Careful with the stove knobs. They move very easily. The only major issue was lack of room for our groceries. All cupboards and pantries are pretty full. Love the fridge! It kept everything nice and cold. Having the ice maker as an amenity would be a great addition. The living room is a good space for everyone to hang out . The couches are well worn and could use a restuff or replace. Not super comfortable for the length of a whole movie or two. Overall, vacation isn't about the house, it's about the people you spend it with. This house really could be great with some minor improvements.

About Time

This is the second time we have rented About Time. We found the house to be light filled, comfortably furnished and very spacious. The location is great for the beach and downtown Folly. It's a quiet area as well. The house was very clean. We would recommend renting About Time and will likely return next year.

Booked it again!

We loved the space and feel of the home, and the location is great. Short walk to the beach (public access across the street) and a view of the marsh with the crabbing dock. Beautiful views looking out the kitchen towards the marsh. It's a quiet part of the island. A mile or so from the restaurants and shops, which is a short golf cart or bike ride. The house has wonderful space to spread out with all your family and guests. We loved the "beach house" feel. The only issue was the WiFi, which did not reach everywhere, and the cable on the main floor did not work. Hopefully that will be rectified.

Our favorite spot was the main living area. Main floor TV good. Kitchen well equipped. Plenty clean towels & sheets. Liked having bikes, grill, games, etc. House could use a deep clean. Time for fixing wobbly lamps, changing light bulbs, repairing broken blinds, replacing loose register in Kitchen floor, dripping faucets, & dusting those fans. Never did get internet to work in 3rd floor bedroom.

Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

This is a great house for a large group. It has an above-average kitchen for a beach rental, lots of games, comfy beds, nice TVs and is a quick walk to the beach. Bring bug spray because the mosquitoes are intense, especially under the house where the outdoor shower is. Overall, we had a great week at About Time and were sad to leave.

Perfect location and quiet

Great overall experience! Place was overall generally clean for a beach house. Beds were comfy and ample seating in the main living space! Great walk to the beach, the pathway was so beautiful to the beach we took pictures!! Went for my bachelorette weekend and it was a great low key place, that we could relax. The only thing is that the “queen” bed downstairs didn’t not seem like a queen but more of a full bed but it was still really comfortable!!

Excellent location, fun gathering space!

We had the best time! The location is perfect! A short walk to a quiet, beautiful beach, a short drive into a quaint town and a private, cute, home with a deck to watch the sunset. We were up every morning to catch the beach sunrise. We were able to gather at the large table for games and food. It was a perfect home for our large family to do various and different activities. The king beds were so comfortable but there were some twin beds that weren’t as nice. We had younger kids on them so it still worked. I highly recommend this space!
