Very nice home, walking distance to beach and shops. Kids loved the pool, heating it was worth the charge. Would recommend the property for a luxury stay in Folly Beach.
Great family vacation. House was perfect to accommodate all of us. Beautiful home with a nice pool. Great big sunroom for everyone to hang out together. The pool is shaded most of the day which was good for my grandbabies! Nice and close to the beach! We rented a golf cart which was perfect!
This property was AMAZING! There were nine of us ranging from 62 to 2. We had EVERYTHING we needed and more!! The different sitting areas are wonderful. The bunk bed set up downstairs by master was perfect as was the bunk bed room with queen bed! The elevator was a lifesaver for unloading our suitcases,food, etc…. It’s such a short walk to beach we did also rent a golf cart which was helpful for the 4 little grands. The backyard is stunning and the pool perfect! Kitchen is setup well and has everything!! I could go on and on! It was an amazing nig getaway for us as a family!!
High end home, however for the price we would expect couches to be stain free. Every soft seating surface had stains on them. Over 4 days, no one sat on the couch or any outside seating surface.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Several things were not as depicted in the photos and broken. IE/ no cushions on pool lounges, toilet flush handle broken in 3rd fl bathroom, sink drain clogged in master bathroom. Texted about these concerns and was told someone would come to property and we didn’t have to be on site ( very bad to say that we didn’t have to be there) and then don’t think anyone ever came because they were never fixed. Pool lights were not on … had to text service to turn on and they randomly turned 1 on for maybe an hour. Many closets had extra beds/cribs making less use of the closet. Additionally, most of the closets didn’t have proper garment hanging rods … they were laying in a shelf with the attachments either on the floor or in another shelf. Like they started installing them and never finished. The house was gorgeous and served our needs fine with the exception of what is stated above. For the money I paid, these things were pretty important to not be property working and usable as depicted.
