The host was amazing! The home is beautiful and accommodated our big group, 9 adults, 4 children and one dog comfortably. Downtown folly beach is just 1-1/4 miles from the house so we were able to walk there daily. The elevator made is easy for grandma to navigate the house.

Our second time at Water's Edge. Lovely setting, friendly staff, and nicely appointed rooms. Unfortunately, this time around, they had to move us to a different room on the second night, which was odd and a little inconvenient in that second room lacked a balcony where we planned on sharing a picnic ...

The house was very accommodating for our large group, plenty of room for all. Parts of the house could use some cleaning and maintenance (banisters need to be replaced) but overall we enjoyed our stay even with the rainy weather!

9/10 Wonderful! (83 reviews)
Agree with other reviews-- this is a small rustic apt. Very clean and owner was responsive to all communications. I was in the area visiting family so was perfect for me. I'd definitely stay again.

Folly Beach is a great beach town - and very close to Charleston attractions. Driving in Folly Beach is slow but parking is readily available.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The tip of Folly is a great place for walking and has amazing driftwood trees!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Fun quaint town with good food and drink

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The only reason I'm not giving it a worse review is because it was only 120.00 a night. Still, cleanliness was lacking, and there was no warm water. I've stayed in cheaper places that have these two things down.
