This condo is the perfect location for a stay on Folly Beach. We sat on the front porch and enjoyed a cocktail after our days on the beach, listening to the waves and enjoying the beautiful view.The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The air conditioner was icy cold which felt so refreshing after being on the beach all day.Everyone who was renting in the building was so friendly. We loved that people had their dogs and when we return, we will rent here and bring ours. Thank you for a lovely stay! We will be back and will rent here without a doubt.

I was looking to book a quick 2-3 day ocean front stay in Charleston SC for my wife and I to get away.. This little condo was one of the first to show up on VRBO and I booked it. It was a really nice stay for the money and beach front. The host was very helpful and quick to respond . I wasn’t sure about Folly Beach but it ended up being a pleasant surprise.

The host was very accommodating. I would have preferred the hairdryer be furnished, but the amenities were excellent. Also, great location close to beach, pier, and Center St. Very comfortable and clean.
