About this apartment rental
One of Folly's Best! La Playa is a clean and comfortable 1 bedroom condo with hardwood floors throughout and a king size Tempur-Pedic mattress that makes sleeping heavenly in this oceanfront condo. It's located on the first floor of a three story elevated complex that sits directly on the beach. The building was recently renovated to feature new decking and upgraded A/C units. Wake up to enjoy the beautiful beach sunrise from the shared balcony or relax on the porch and enjoy the warm sunshine watching the dolphins play while sipping your morning coffee. The night sky is perfect for stargazing while listening to the waves crash onto the shore. You even have access to a shared washer/dryer during your vacation too! You can park your car in your reserved parking space the entire time you are here because everything is within easy walking distance. A few words from the owner: “My wife and I like to enjoy our condo often. Rest assured you will find our condo clean and comfortable with nice furnishings and a fully equipped kitchen. I strive to have one of the nicest condos in the building. Our goal is to have every guest return for their next vacation.” Beach lovers can enjoy the beach from the front balcony or by crossing the private boardwalk over the sand dunes right onto the sand. During the summer enjoy the water at one of the only sections of beach with a lifeguard. Those that like to fish can walk less than a block to the Fishing Pier to join other anglers working these very productive spots. Great restaurants, fresh seafood vendors and a grocery store are all nearby. This unit is a great base to explore the beach and the Historic City of Charleston. Folly Beach Suites shares laundry & HVAC with the neighboring unit, a locked door leads to the adjoining laundry room. Please keep temperatures at recommended levels and remove clothes from washer/dryer as soon as possible.

We were so impressed with this condo and with the property management. It was a beautiful place and very clean. The convenience was the best part. We were right at the beach and the pier and convenient to everything around us. Any correspondence we had with the property management was very polite and efficient. They responded right away and were very helpful. I would love for there to be an elevator but we do plan on staying again in the future.

We enjoyed a long weekend at the condo. It's very close to everything so you can walk instead of trying to find parking spaces.

We have spent several vacations in Folly Beach. This was our first time in this condo and it was convenient to everything we needed. The management even came by to say hello. Only bad mark is we happened to be next to all the AC units for the building.

We loved this property; it was the perfect size for our family of four. The beach access is unbeatable. We always love Folly Beach- a great place for our family to vacation.

We wanted to check in 2 hours early due to a surprise engagement and they said sure… for an unreasonable additional fee. It was clean enough to stay but not impressive especially since the cleaning fees for a 2 night stay were hundreds of dollars and other vague fees like “additional charges” (also hundreds of dollars) The beach view is really beautiful and the location is super convenient for walking around but absolutely not worth the cost. We understand fees with a rental but this was beyond overpriced for what you get.

Wanted a getaway before the crowds come in and it was perfect. Had my small dog and we were able to walk anywhere we needed to go. I literally parked and didn't get back in the car until time to leave! Condo was perfect size for us and loved having my coffee looking at the waves! Will be back.

Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were greeted with the smell of mildew and a warm damp condo. The air could not be adjusted and it would not go below 73 degrees. It was hot and muggy. Upon reaching the kitchen sink, we were treated with two roaches. Additionally, the mice enjoyed a sealed bag of popcorn. The paint was peeling from the ceiling at what appeared to be a significant leak.
Positives: the management was quick to respond to any messages regarding Wi-Fi and the actual stay. The location is great and it is convenient to walk to restaurants and shopping.
Just disappointed with the bugs and mice and muggy humid mildew smell.

Very disappointed with the attitude of the owner. With Hurricane Ian heading directly toward Folly Beach, he would not agree to a cancellation or changing the date. He quickly referred to the contract language and then became unresponsive. Owner would not consider any options for providing safe accommodations, although the contract states that he would. We were expected to check in on the evening the hurricane was making landfall on the Island. The forecasts were projecting 75 mph winds, 6 foot storm surge and “life threatening flood inundation” throughout the island. I can’t imagine driving my family into a situation where we would be trapped in a first floor ocean front room facing hurricane winds, with the fury of the ocean surge passing beneath our floor, being essentially in the ocean at that point, losing electricity, not being able to leave for hours, and praying the building doesn’t get swept away. The thought was terrifying.
Our car would have been destroyed had we parked on the property. The entire island had widespread flooding and loss of power.
The place is essentially an aged hotel room of wooden frame construction. The air conditioning is shared with the unit next door, so the control mode cannot be changed. The beach totally disappears at high tide. I would recommend looking for a place elsewhere.

View of beach was perfect! Couldn't find code for gate to beach right away. Toilet paper and detergent had been misplaced but after quick call to property manager it was corrected. We stayed on ground floor and people above us were super noisy. It sounded like they were moving furniture and stomping when they walked. Other than that people of Folly were super friendly and we were within walking distance to everything.

The booking was very easy! It was in a great location. Bed was comfortable! It was decorated nicely! Overall it was clean but we did see some small brown roaches. I think the owner needs to have the condo treated for roaches. I hope I didn’t bring any home with me.

Great place to beach visit
Fantastic views and next to all things wished to do by the beach. Would be great if chairs and umbrella were part of the package and not an upcharge. Everything was great and what we needed.

Perfect couples/singles getaway.
Condo listing was accurate. It’s on the smaller side, but perfect for what we wanted. Kitchen is sufficiently equipped, bed was verrrry comfortable, shower was amazing, and the view of the ocean from the balcony was very soothing. Only issue I have as a short person was the adirondack chairs don’t allow for unobstructed view. (Must look between railing spindles). They are too low, and difficult for older adults to get up from.

Location of this property could not have been any better. We walked everywhere and the place was literally right on the beach. We will certainly be back.

Folly vacation
Not very comfortable overall. BR needs dresser instead of table under TV. Bathroom door makes a horrible noise opening and closing. One lamp in living area didn't work. It's old and cheap.
Too bad for the money paid.

Wonderful property, AS LONG AS as nothing breaks
My wife and I stayed at La Playa for 5 nights to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The unit is very comfortable, has a terrific beach view, is well-appointed, quiet, and within walking distance of several downtown shops and restaurants.
However, during the first two days of our stay, there was no air-conditioning, and we sweltered in 80 degrees temperatures inside the unit. Although we notified management of the issue without a few hours of arriving, a window unit was not brought in and repair not done until the 3rd day because the owner could not be reached to approve of the work order I will say that the rest of the facility staff were extremely professional, sympathetic, and tried to be as helpful as possible.
I immediately requested a refund for the time we were unable to fully enjoy the unit, including sleep, because of the lack of air-conditioning. After several attempts to contact the owner over a period of weeks, I was informed that they would comp only one night (with no fees included) and with no apology for half of our vacation being ruined. My recommendation to prospective renters is to look at comparable beach properties before booking with this owner because of the type of problems experienced and lack of responsiveness we had.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The location was great if you’re looking for beach access. The drive into downtown Charleston was only 15-20 minutes. The only negatives would be that the walls are thin and you could hear everything. We could literally hear the clicking of the dogs toenails on the hardwood floors above us. Secondly, the thermostat does not go below 72 and it can get quite warm. Also, the porch area is not very private. Overall, it’s a nice little getaway for a couple looking to enjoy the beach.

Great location
We really enjoyed being able to walk to everything and being right on the beach. The condo was quiet and all the neighbors were really nice. The major issue was the air conditioner wasn’t working properly and we didn’t sleep well due to it being hot in our room at night. It seems there are constant issues with the air conditioner being that there are signs in the unit and box fans provided. The toilet seat wasn’t in good shape (chipped paint all on it) which should be an easy inexpensive replacement. The rug in the living room had stains, needs replacing.

Folly Beach at it's best!
This condo was perfect for the two of us and our little dog. Any closer to the beach and you would be on the beach. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Clean, nicely equipped, and convenient. We will definitely be back!

Best Sunrise Ever
Having the ocean out your front door is the best. Great stretch of beach in a fun little town. Location of unit is perfect to get around everywhere you want to be on foot. Thank you for such a comfortable place to stay and for the coffee in the pantry so we didn't have to run out and buy some. :)

Good for a place that allows dogs
The location is terrific and Bert’s Market is a block over. Area is very walkable. The furnishings were a bit worn and the rugs really need to be thrown out. Other than that, the place was very clean and was the perfect size for 2.
