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!
Place was clean and nice. Location was fantastic. Lots of food and drink in walking distance. Beach was never crowded because the public could not get in through the Sea Cabins entrance.

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.

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.

Jenkins Creekside Apartment
Walter was extremely helpful when my husband misplaced his wallet. Thanks Walter! You’re the best. Will definitely book again !

Pet friendly Lowcountry home on a creek with dock
Very nice and peaceful stay. It is out in the country but had plenty for the kids to do. Highly recommend

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. 😁

Best views on Folly!
Joe & Claire were great hosts, very personable. Stayed 5 nites in late April/early May. Beautiful location: decks on all levels/sides, sweeping views of marsh in back, high up views of ocean across street in front. Many perfect spots to sit depending on sun & wind. Great views of sunrise & sunset, lighthouse, etc. Furnishings comfortably accommodated gatherings for our family of 5 adults, tastefully decorated too. Kitchen well equipped, beach chairs/towels provided. Besides food/drink/personal items, can’t think of anything we wanted that wasn’t already there. We experienced one significant house utility issue that disrupted our stay, outside anyone’s control. Joe had it repaired and equitably resolved the impact to us. Location next best thing to beachfront, beach access just 100yd down road. Peacefully removed from busy central Folly Beach town area and just 5min ride to many casual restaurant/entertainment options there. Also easy 30min trip to Charleston for exploring and dinner.

✰ 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.

Lake front Cottage
We loved our stay. It was the best location for some peace and quiet and close enough to all of our points of interest. We were able to visit Mount Pleasant/ Shem Creek, Folley Beach and Downtown Charleston. The home and outdoor spaces were perfect and we loved all the details. The extra touches (quality shower products,games, and even slippers) make this visit one we can’t wait to revisit.

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

Quiet Beach, Dog Paradise, Breathtaking Views, 4bd/3bath
Had a great stay at the March House! Plenty of room for our whole family and made for such an easy trip with the beach across the street. Would definitely return

On the Beach-End Unit! Enjoy Dolphins & Sunsets!
Pelican Watch is a beautiful place on Seabrook. The beach is a 2 minute walk from the backdoor with a great view from the back porch. You need a car to get to most restaurants but great places are 10-20 minutes away. Harris Teeter is well stocked nearby with great steaks and seafood as well as wine. I’d definitely stay here again.

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.

Bella Vista | Fantastic Oceanfront View | All New
We loved our stay at Bella Vista. The villa was so close to the ocean. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and listening to the ocean. The place was clean, and had everything we needed. Michael was helpful, and answered questions that came up during our stay. We would definitely stay there again!

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!
