Santosha at Seascape Villa Steps from the Beach
Daphne's place was perfect for what I needed at the last moment. It was clean and she responded very quickly to my questions. Thank you!

Oceanview Sea Cabin 318B- Isle of Palms, SC!
We loved everything about this place! The view was spectacular and the location is great for beach and restaurant access. Definitely would stay again!

Waterfront Private Hot Tub Fire Pit Dock Fishing A
What a beautiful location! Some of the most stunning sunsets I've ever seen! Great grocery store conveniently located close by! Close to restaurants and shopping!

The Folly River Flat at Folly Beach NOW WITH DOCK!
We had a wonderful stay! Great location, just minutes from the beach with a beautiful view from the balcony area. Extremely clean! Would recommend!

Bayview's Secret
Rich was great! He made the stay easy and enjoyable. He even provided a couple of bikes to get around with. We could ride around the neighborhood, to Shem Creek, and we even went downtown for a day. Whatever our day included, there was a great place to come back to and relax.

115 COV - Beach Daze -Beautiful Oceanfront Villa
This place was absolutely amazing! There were absolutely no negatives at all. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and unwind. Our only regret was we were there only for a few days. We definitely will be back.

Two Sisters Folly, Unit B- Marshfront Duplex
The location is great, with a beach access right in front of the house. Downtown is a short drive away but you can also walk, which removes the need to park. The place is old but functional.

Scenic 2BR River Retreat w/Pool & Kid’s Nook
This was a great place to stay was close to all the places we wanted to visit like downtown Charleston, isle of palms, and Sullivans Island. Place was clean and place was perfect for me, my husband, and two kids. She left us snacks and lots of ideas for things to do nearby.

Pet friendly Lowcountry home on a creek with dock
I wished I could have stayed longer. I did not want to leave. Beautiful home in a peaceful location. Spent a lot of time upstairs outside on the screened porch enjoying the view of the salt marsh. The home was immaculate, tastefully decorated., and well maintained.

Charleston Waterfront Retreat w/ Deep Water Dock
Beautiful home and surroundings. 3 couples with personal spaces and large communal spaces to gather. Very comfortable and clean. Recommend Kiss Cafe for breakfast. We also went through Savor Charleston and had Chef Morgan and her assistant prepare and serve a dinner at the house- fabulous food and was relaxing to just enjoy the views and the wonderful home. Highly recommend! It's no wonder their home receives the 5 star reviews!

Salt and Sol. Ocean Breezes in a Chic Home.
We enjoyed this Airbnb a lot! Lovely views back and front and the beach is maybe 3 minutes walk (look for the public access sign to the left, about three houses down). Great shower! Lovely kitchen! Comfy sofas! If we ever come back to folly beach, we would love to stay again. For the mobility challenged, it is only 12 steps to front door, unlike a lot of neighboring houses, which are on stilts and have 25+ steps. 😁

✰ MARSH VIEW - CHARMING 3BR/2.5BA - BIKES/KAYAKS ✰
This place was great for us! Alexander was very proactive on an unforeseen situation and was a great host! Would highly recommend the place to any family wanting to stay in North Charleston.

Gorgeous home one block from beach w/ heated pool
It’s a beautiful, well appointed, clean and tastefully decorated home. The home is spacious with a great floor plan. We were 3 families. 6 adults and 5 children. The kids loved the pool. There were numerous pool toys to keep them entertained. The kitchen is a cook’s dream. Everything ( except a coffee grinder) was available. The long kitchen table easily accommodates 12. We enjoyed the porches. There are 3 but we did not use top balcony. ( that is where the fire pit is ) There are lots of steps, but the convenience of the elevator was wonderful. It was a great location as well. We had a lovely time.

Lake front Cottage
We loved our stay here. The decor in the house is so fun, and the property is just absolutely gorgeous. We would absolutely stay here again!

Luxury Beach Front Pet Friendly
Beautiful home, we would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Spectacular Oceanview Home with Hot Tub - Private!
What an absolutely wonderful place! Beautifully decorated, amazing little touches, right across from the beach, peaceful, great parking — a perfect spot for Folly Beach and Charleston exploration. Highly recommend!

On the Beach-End Unit! Enjoy Dolphins & Sunsets!
Amazing is the best word to describe John’s condo. Check-in was a breeze with clear instructions. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a beach vacation. There were tons of pots and pans in the kitchen and lots of beach supplies on the deck. Th location and access to the beach cannot be beat! Communication with John was excellent. I am already planning a return trip to the condo.

Dunes West-beachside Port O'Call
Really nice condo for the location at Wild Dunes. So easy to get to the beach. Mona was extremely responsive and helpful.

Newly renovated Oceanfront Condo ~ Isle of Palms
We loved our stay at IOP and would gladly come back! Great location and just enough space for my husband and I!

Oceanfront Top Floor ☼ Beautiful Panoramic View!
Perfect place for a quick little get away! Hope to return soon!

Folly Beach sunrise and sunsets
This is a great place to stay. Unbelievable views and close to everything. Thomas is ready to contact and always very helpful. Would definitely recommend and we will be staying again.

Paradise at Folly - Beautiful Riverfront Condo
Two words: absolutely wonderful! Felt right at home the moment we walked in. It was exactly as pictured and described. Close to everything. 20 minutes from Charleston and 5 min drive to ocean. Beautiful water views from porch. Also enjoyed time at the pool. Fully stocked kitchen. We will be returning again.

Oceanfront Villa-pool/pier, fishing, stunning view
Stayed for a few days with our small family. Grateful for the easy walks to the beach and the pool. There was plenty of play gear available for the beach. The kitchen was well stocked for a good cup of coffee and to accommodate some simple meals for our picky children. Great views in the morning, too!

1 BR Top Floor Isle of Palms Oceanfront Sea Cabin
An ideal sisters' getaway! This home is sparkling clean and so inviting. The stocked kitchen was a huge plus for easy meals, and we loved having both beach and pool access. A truly great stay!
