A True Gem

This bright airy space was immediately welcoming. Our stay was perfect! We were a family of 6 that was able to spread out across 4 bedrooms. The home had all that was needed for cooking and entertaining. The outdoor space made for the perfect family meeting spot complete with a hot tub that worked perfectly.A block or 2 from the beach, shops and restaurants rounded out the amazing convenience factor of our stay. We WILL be back!

Wonderful Stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay on Folly Beach! The house was beautifully decorated. We had plenty of space for everyone with all of the bedrooms and bathrooms. We especially loved the hang out space under the house where we watched football games and enjoyed the hot tub. The location was perfect and we loved being able to walk to the beach, Bert’s Market, restaurants, and shops! We really hope to stay here again!
