We were celebrating our 50th anniversary with our daughter, son, and their families. Very nice accommodations.
Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Hurricane Debby decided to visit for 3 days. The house had puzzles and games to help pass the time. And flashlights and candles if the power went out (it didn't). We were able to make trips to restaurants and distilleries between rain showers. Wish we had had an opportunity to use the 8? bicycles but the weather interfered. There are about 10 beach chairs available for use too. Hope to visit again and would consider this house.
We met the grey parrot and macaw on the porch across the street. Heard them whistling and talking and asked to meet them.

We rented this house for a family vacation. It was PERFECT! It had everything you needed even beach chairs, a beach wagon and plenty of bikes. The house is within walking distance to the beach and the backyard with the pool and gazebo is where we spent our time after the beach. There are plenty of puzzles and games, which a few of us did in the evenings and during the rainy times. We highly recommend this house and will definitely be renting it again. Thank you and we will be in touch for next year!

Our family really enjoyed this beautiful, beachy home. The patio, hot tub & pool are the best. Kitchen was very well stocked & great to cook in. Gas Grill was great too. Our first time staying in Folly Field area, much less traffic. Our only wish was that the beach was closer, it was a 10-15 minute walk w/kids & stuff. Beach was very crowded so we didnt go often. Plus our pool area was awesome at the house! Watching the Olympics from the pool, amazing!

We had a fantastic time while staying at Carolina on my Mind. The house was so beautiful and clean and the beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The location of the house is PERFECT. Just a 8 minute walk to the beach and mini golf/arcade/restaurant. The house was fully stocked with all the necessities we needed. The pool/spa was like a mini oasis. All beach chairs and beach necessities are provided as well. Joe and Tonya were great hosts and very responsive when we text with questions. We hope to come back to SC someday and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us and our furbabies.

Great place for family relaxation! Beach was easy to get to and the amenities were perfect.

We thoroughly loved this house. You all don’t know me but I am picky & annoying when I stay somewhere other than my home. I’m a 5 star hotel kinda girl (whether or not I can afford it…that’s what I expect…like I said, I’m annoying!)
Somehow, Tonya made this home utterly fantastic. I have no complaints and didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend this rental and want to thank the owners for thinking of absolutely everything so that our trip was fantabulous.

Great vacation! Pool and hot tub were great. House was clean and had everything we needed. We rode bikes around the trails in the area and up and down the beach. Beautiful area, will be back!

Lovely home! Everything you need at your fingertips. Pool and hot tub was great! Pergola area was awesome for our family. 5-8 minute Walk to golf/arcade/restaurant. Beach walk is easy but think more 10-12 minute walk so you need a drop off with your beach gear. Parking is available at the beach. Nice beach, easy access. Bikes available in shed and a nice 6 mile ride to Caligney shopping. Great stay!

We were on a family vacation, and we were overly pleased with the home. It was clean, fully stocked, and Mrs. Tonya was readily available throughout our stay. It is evident that there has been much preparation and love invested into this home, and we were glad to have found this gem. There was enough room for everyone to have their own space, and gathering space for when we wanted to all be together out on the patio, around the dinner table, cooking meals, or just lounging around. The access to the beach, walking or driving is rather close (about a 10 minute walk to the sand), and a 10-15 minute drive to many of the island’s attractions, shopping, and restaurants. Neighborhood is quiet, and although it’s close to the main road it was not a bother or unpleasant.

Perfect for family of four(parents and two 20+ “kids”. The pool and spa were PERFECT!! The house is super charming. Had all we needed in a perfect(less crowded) beach area. 10 minute (shaded) walk to beach. We are on shorter side…. Anyone 6’plus just needs to be aware of ceiling fan in master bdrm. There is a 4th bedroom with bunk beds… we used to store golf clubs and clothes. So we were able to enjoy space. It was really as perfect of a rental we could ask for. Plenty of linens. Comfy comfy bed in master. Spa towels. The owners went out of their way to ensure comfort. Oh yeah! Came with bikes. Again…tall people be wary of low threshold of shed. Racked my head twice! Only only small suggestion would be better WiFi. If no care about streaming, than not a problem!

My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The house was very clean and a nice size for our party of 8. The highlight of the property was the backyard pool and seating areas. The covered pergola was very comfortable and you could grill and eat outside as well as watch tv! The backyard was well maintained and very pretty. The hosts offered bikes and other beach supplies that were super convenient for beach days. The beach was a short bike ride or walk down a shaded bike path. About 7 minutes walking.

We stayed at this location w 4 babies under 4. The bunk bed room fit 2 pack n plays nicely. Having a pool with the water ledge was great. The house comes well equipped with so many things for the beach (umbrellas, wagons, canopies). The outside shower & pergola allowed for a lot of seating for all. We packed up one car with all of the things & then the rest of the crew took the short walk to the beach. The pool gets quite hot during the afternoon, but who can complain about the heat!? This was an awesome week get a way & we highly recommend to anyone.

This house was well equipped for two families with children! Staying for a week we did bring some of our own staples from home but the kitchen was fully stocked with cooking basics. There were plenty of towels and beach supplies. The wagon came in handy as the walk is a little far with small children. Without kids it took us 7 minutes vs 15 😆. We loved the backyard space! Thank you for allowing us to stay!

We had an excellent time on our recent trip to HHI. The home was just how the listing described. Tonya was amazing to communicate with via VRBO and text. Adults and children were all comfortable in the home. The pool was amazing to have and the beach was an easy (3-5min) bike ride or (8-10min) walk away. Shopping and restaurants are a short drive away as well. We are looking forward to our next trip!

Our hosts were gracious, respectful and highly responsive throughout our reservation process and during our stay. They made terrific amenity suggestions (restaurants, local services, entertainment). This home’s interior is spotless! Kudos to the housekeeper. The pool and spa were perfectly suited to our needs. The location to the beach, restaurants, etc., was ideal.

This home was perfect for us! The house was comfortable and clean and had several nice touches like a working fire place inside and gas fire table outside. There was plenty of seating and places for family members to hang out. Ample beach towels, bikes, and outdoor chairs were so appreciated! We opted for the hot tub which was perfect on the warmer days (we were there over Christmas break). The wide and well-maintained walking trail across the street that leads to the beach was great for stretching legs and dog walking. The location of the house was great and made for easy travel to all that HHI has to offer. Fantastic communication with the host, including fantastic restaurant and activity recommendations! An added bonus were the super nice neighbors! We would definitely stay here again!

The house was exceptionally clean and in a great location a 3-4 minute bike ride or 8 minute walk. My family with ages 9 - 57 greatly enjoyed the house, the pool, the bicycles and all of the included extras necessary for the beach (canopy, lots of chairs, beach wagon). Communication with the property owners was wonderful as well. They were always available to answer any questions that came up. Thanks for sharing your home with our family.

We very much enjoyed our stay. We had 4 adults and 6 kids, the bunk room was great and patio and pool were very nice. It was a little bit longer of a walk to the beach than we were expecting, but appreciated all the beach chairs, toys, sunshades and wagon that were available in the shed in the backyard. There were bikes as well, but we didn’t use them.

This home and location was perfect for our 2 family vacation. The location to the beach was ideal. The pool, hot tub and patio amenities made everything easy to relax. The owners provided bikes, beach toys, canopies and umbrellas. Really everything needed for a day out. The quiet neighborhood was fantastic for a group of 9 ages 18 months and up. The owners were easy to reach with any questions or issues. Just a wonderful week to get away and relax! We definitely recommend a stay at Folly Field and will be back!

Everything about this trip was above our wildest dreams!! Between the beautiful, well equipped, spacious home and the great surrounding beaches, shops, and restaurants this is a can't miss location. Your home is wonderful and the pool is the perfect last piece to making your home the perfect spot to call home base while you explore beautiful Hilton Head Island. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home and being a top notch host. You will be seeing us on your registry again in the near future.

I cannot say enough great things about this property. The description of the listing is spot on. Joe and Tonya were just over the top with communication on every detail of the place and very easy to reach if there was a problem. The red folder is full of all the information you need for an easy stay. The full kitchen was great and had everything you needed to feed a family of 10. The pool and all the beach stuff that is provided was a great bonus as well. I would definitely recommend booking this place if you want some privacy with an easy beach commute. We will definitely consider this place again in the future.

Family Vacation
We had 5 adults and 3 kids in the home and it worked great for us. Loved the pool and hot tub. The beach is about an 8 min walk, it’s a public beach so it was very busy. We enjoyed the home and would recommend it.

Would love to come again. The private pool was wonderful and enjoyed by all. The 18 month old would look out the door and insist on going swimming.

Relaxing beach trip
We really enjoyed this house. It had plenty of space and very clean. We appreciated the extra towels and beach equipment. Wish it were a little closer to the beach but still an easy walk. Would stay here again!

Excellent location to the beach
Nice pool and walking distance to the beach. Good communication with the property owner. The house had pretty much everything you could possibly need in terms of additional items (ie. kitchen items, pool accessories, bikes, beach items, etc.). No major issues to report.

Carolina on my mind
Five stars isn’t enough, five stars times 9 from my entire family is more like it (six adults and three children). This home is spacious and well thought out. The bunk room was perfect for the kids. Master bedroom suite with a very comfortable king bed and two bedrooms with queen beds. The backyard is perfection. The pool has a shallow end for the toddler and the rest does not get too deep. Beach is a very easy walk. Beach chairs are provided that are easy to carry like a backpack. Bikes are provided. Mini golf is a short walk. Kitchen was spacious and easy to navigate. There was ample seating inside and out. Grill worked out perfectly. Family room was spacious enough for all to hang out and wind down after pool and beach activities. Owners were attentive and communicative and we appreciate all their work to make this rental available. We would rent this property again.

This was the perfect vacation home for 2 families with 4 adults and 4 younger kids. The location is fantastic and just a short bike ride to the beach. We loved the pool and backyard area for relaxing after the beach. Joe and Tonya were very responsive and helpful. It was a delightful stay.

Great Place to Stay
This was a great rental for our family, grandparents, 2 children and spouses and 4 grandchildren ages 3-13. Everyone, but kids particularly, were in the pool morning and night. The host provided lots of water toys and they were well-used. Daily trips to the beach for sandcastle building and wave jumping were popular. The house was clean and the hosts thought of many small details and were very easy to communicate with. The bunk room for kids worked well. We were all very comfortable in this wonderful home. My 3-year-old grandson said “I want to buy this house”. Also had a Savanna day and Nature Preserve. For a group of Minnesotans after a long winter, this was a wonderful vacation.

Unwelcomed Guest
Initially the owners were very nice and responsive and the house seemed great. However, weeks after we paid our final payment, and just 2 weeks before our trip, they provided us a previously undisclosed rental agreement, which included video surviellence of the "private" backyard/pool area (not disclosed in listing as required by VRBO), limits on visitors, the requirement for a credit card and a million other elements of fine print. The way in which this was handled led us to feel trapped in a rental we didn't want.
We did go, and generally were left to enjoy our stay. However, on our last day there the owners called us frantically to question us as to whether we turned off the irrigation system (never touched it). Then the day we left we were accused of a mark on a comforter, too much dog hair in the house (we had vacuumed the night before leaving and had paid dog fees), missing towels (folded and clean left with their beach towels) and a multiple other issues all of which we felt were inaccurate accusations. These were based on the report from their cleaner, once the owners arrived the issues were dropped. Seemingly supporting the inaccuracy of those accusations.
In regards to the house, we found it filled to the brim with "decor," in need of lots of general maintenance, the grill was filled with mouse poop/food remains, we had to replace the propane, tons of flies outside, the cleanliness was only surface deep, the underneath of beds wasn't clean and packed with bins of stuff, and generally a cramped square footage (we had 4 adults 1 kid). There is no bathtub and the amount of breakable decor could make having very young kiddos a there a challenge.
Overall the house was not worth the cost, and it was clear we were unwanted guests in their private home.

Great vacation, home away from home.
Could not have asked for a better place to stay for the week. Tonya was very responsive to all my questions the first couple of days. Beautiful property and very convenient location to the beach. Quiet neighborhood, just lovely.
