Amazing house
We have stayed in a few places on folly over the past 10 years and this one is our favorite! We spent the mornings watching the dolphins, the afternoons on the beach and evenings were spent fishing. We would definitely book this house again!

Beach Trip
We had a great time, we enjoyed fishing from the Dock. We put our kayaks in. The boys loved the ocean. We ate to much.Overall we had a great time. Just a couple of changes that could be made.. the house was very hot at night. We all had a hard time sleeping, you didn’t need any of the covers. We were sweating. Only bedroom that was cool was the loft. The bathrooms also needs doors for more privacy. The hall bath needs a door added back to the hall, so that couple has more privacy. A tv also needs to be added to the guest bedroom. Beautiful home and we will come back. We love Folly Beach.

Memorable Stay at Folly River Home
Overall I thought this was a lovely property. The views of Folly River and the Morris Island light house make this property exceptional, but other features such as a great kitchen, beautiful master suite and super fun game room make this a perfect house for a family or small group of friends. The house is very private and a short walk to the beach. Would rent again!

Beautiful escape
Absolutely stunning property with water views and private dock. House is generously proportioned with comfortable common areas and lovely bedrooms. Fully fenced yard was excellent for dogs. Beach is a short walk and dining/shopping a quick drive down the road. We loved our first time visiting folly beach. Property owner was responsive and helpful. Wonderful rental. Highly recommend.

Fun on the river!
What a great property! Beautiful views, convenient location to the 13th street beach access. Quiet location and loved the fenced in yard for our dog! We utilized the dock to view gorgeous sunsets and to paddle board. Game room was a plus and we used it often. The beds were comfortable and kitchen fully stocked. A well appointed house with a quirky/beachy/coastal feel. We would rent here again for sure!

We loved our week here. We are avid birders and the best birding on the island was right from the dock. The house is lovely and has everything for a comfortable stay.

Great location, great spaces
Our group enjoyed all the areas of the house, playing pool and games together. It was a great dock with fishing fun every evening and abundant new fish tales! My grandsons caught their first fish! The dolphins were there every day. It was a short shady walk to the beach! If you are looking for great fun, rent this house, and make your own memories!

First Folly visit
Wonderful feeling of seclusion on very busy island. Loved the dock and dolphin visits at low tide. We rented kayaks and paddle boards and were thrilled with dolphins. The kids had fun catching crabs off the dock and renting surf boards and trying them out in the ocean. Pool table also was a hit. Thanks for the magical vacation!

Great Stay on Folly Beach
This is a fabulous property! Located on the Marsh side of Folly, the house is beautiful and immaculately clean. The kitchen is very nice and well equipped. The Dock is great, rent a Kayak or bring your own boat. Dolphins play right off the dock, great for an evening cocktail. Only one negative, there is a beautiful Live Oak overhanging the house, but it drops acorns on the master bedroom. Bring some earplugs for whoever is in that room.

Great location
This home was exceptional. We’ve stayed at lots of different places on Folly and this one was everyone’s favorite so far. Deep creek access paired with easy walk to the beach is unmatched. Plenty of space for our party of 8. We also enjoyed the eclectic art and old style furniture. The mattresses were quality and the kitchen fully stocked. I don’t think you could ask for more from a vacation home. We hope to return again next year.

Surfs Up ! The life of an artist.
This place is an excellent choice if you like an artistic atmosphere near the beach. This place is so peaceful and the views of the inland water ways is off the chart. I may need to go back with a fishing pole !! It was a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy Folly Beach and Charleston.. Would highly recommend to any family !!
