Top Cole Island Hotel Reviews

Steps from the Beach~ 99 Steps Away

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place to stay! Clean and cozy, perfectly relaxing and easy access to beach."

Regatta Inn Folly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This was hands down the most magical place to stay. Our rooms have a view of the water/marina where we can’t drank our coffee and watched the dolphins every morning. The staff was above and beyond helpful and they included breakfast, snacks and a midday charcuterie board with wine. It’s a 20 min drive to downtown Charleston so you have the best of both worlds- historic Charleston with the beach at Folly. We will definitely be back!"

Beach House 5BR, Elevator, Events & Games

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a very nice property with plenty of garage parking and outside parking. All the rooms have there own bathroom which is very rare and nice. Easy access to the beach and a good size back yard for events. Ross the owner was very helpful aswell and its definitely a place we will stay in the future."

Large Beach House for Bigger, Better Gatherings!

10/10 Excellent

"My only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer! Darlana is an incredible host and went out of her way to accommodate our group with all our needs. The house is a perfect beach house and has everything you can think of needed for a beach vacation. We were there for my son's wedding and hosted a beach party the night before the wedding. There were so many beach toys and chairs and things available to take. My mom made the most beautiful wedding cake in the kitchen at the house, and Darlana went out of her way to make sure we had a kitchen aid to use for that task. The bedrooms were so nice and the sheets were the softest ever. We will be going back for sure. Thank you, Darlana for making this wedding destination trip a perfect 10!"

4-bedroom house in fantastic Folly Beach with stunning views

"I just wish you could give six stars instead of just five maximum. Cary was the best host of any vacation rental we have ever stayed. Other host could learn from him. Cary, thank you for a wonderful stay!!!"

5 Minute Walk to Beach; Private Pool NOW OPEN; Small Dogs May Be Welcome!

10/10 Excellent

"Another perfect trip to Folly beach with our kids, granddaughters and pups. Heron Hideaway is the perfect house for all of us, great indoor and outdoor space for everyone. We all especially love the pool, outdoor cabana and fenced yard. Hope to be back next summer! Kris Walker"

Charming Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We always look forward to coming to Folly and the Love Shack! We especially love the convenience of having the beach 3 minutes away, as well as being just a few blocks from Center Street for great food and shopping. Our golden retriever loves the fenced back yard almost as much as he loves the beach! The house is so charming and comfortable with everything we need for a great stay. We will definitely be back!"
