Top Cole Island Hotel Reviews

Fantasy Island Folly - Ocean View/Seclusion + Privacy - Just Steps To The Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great! House was spacious and convenient! Price for location was reasonable!"

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"I really liked the location and free parking, especially how close resort was to dining and music venues. The beach view included scenic sunrises highlighting the pier and Atlantic ocean. The pool was refreshing and clean. I didn't like the noisy room AC and narrow balcony without seating. Only 1 of 2 elevators were working, and both were not available for a short time one evening. The beach was muddy at low tide and the Atlantic ocean was silty and not clear during our entire stay."

Regatta Inn Folly Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This is a special place for a quiet retreat from the city. All our hostesses made our stay here lovely. The roof top deck was my favorite spot every morning and evening to relax and watch the dolphins. Breakfast gets a 10 so don’t miss that!! Want a little beach time? Just ask for a quick golf cart ride or grab a bike. Wine and charcuterie at happy hour is also a plus. You do need to be able to climb stairs so keep that in mind😉 You will sleep well on one of the most comfortable mattresses ever. Book it!"

Charming Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay in Folly Beach! The location was fantastic, with public beach access right across the street, making it super easy to come and go from the beach. The beds were also super comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. We especially loved that the home was pet-friendly and had a fenced-in backyard, which was a huge plus when traveling with our dogs. Such a convenient spot for enjoying Folly Beach, especially if you’re bringing your four-legged family members along!"

Beach House 5BR, Elevator, Events & Games

10/10 Excellent

"We held our wedding at Ross’ home and we couldn’t have asked for a better space and host. Ross was the most responsive host we have experienced. He was kind and understanding of our needs for a small wedding space and his place is perfect for that. We will forever be grateful for Ross’ piece he played in our special day."

4-bedroom house in fantastic Folly Beach with stunning views

10/10 Excellent

"The host goes above and beyond to make sure the stay is up to expectations. The location is ideal - halfway between the park and the town with a perfect beach. The back deck is fabulous but it is not screened in. It is clean and well stocked. We had a fabulous time."

Oceanfront, Game Room, 2 Large Decks & Open Floorplan - Living On The Edge

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed in many houses on Folly. I have stayed in this one twice.Very clean, phenomenal view. Great part of the island.Easily had six people in the house with two bathrooms and an outdoor shower.Very responsive when we needed help with extra towels, etc."

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!"
