We enjoyed this property very much! The house was perfect for our group of 4. Super close to the beach and only a quick ride into town. The property manager was wonderful to work with. We are already talking about our next visit!

Our family enjoyed all that this place had to offer. The crabs in the back by the dock were so cool & having the beach across the street we could have spent ohr whole vacation just around the house & had the best vacation. We also toured Charleston. Highly recommended 💕
8.0
Great place, we enjoyed ourselves but our timing our vacation with the exact point of heavy equipment was unfortunate. Full disclosure, warnings were sent to us about the beach, I guess we didn’t realize how big an operation it would be and in the same block as our rental. We loved Folly despite the beach rumbling!
10.0
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly like the listing. Cute. Clean. Great location! We enjoyed being on the marsh. We caught a big blue crab in the crab trap!
The bathroom sink needs to be fixed - super slow draining. And we bought ant bait traps because there were random ants in the kitchen from the first day we arrived. We told the property management company about the broken dock and they came out and fixed that! Easy communication. We would love to come back!

We needed a brief break from our day-to-day grind. Folly beach is just close enough (and just far away enough) for us to get just that. The house is great. Very comfortable and in a superb location. Hope to stay here again.

Great time
8.0
This was a small but nicely appointed house, clean and functional. 1 bathroom is always a challenge, though there is a half bath in the laundry room. Plenty of outdoor spaces and a beautiful view of the marsh and sunsets. Our dog also had plenty of yard to play ball.
10.0
We had a great time at this property. The house had everything we needed. It was on the small side but the view and all the outdoor spaces make up for it. We loved the screen porch and the proximity to the beach. Above all we loved the amazing view of the marsh, it was captivating.
The only thing i would mention is that the half bathroom is located off the screen porch, good if you like a lot of privacy. Also the pier needs some repairs to be safely used at our visit in October 2023.
I don’t say this often but I would love to stay here again. It was a special house and we are already planning our next visit.
10.0
Quaint house, out back was pretty and close to beach. House had everything we needed but could use a can opener and giving us more than 1 dishwasher pod would have been nice. Frig needs to be leveled! But overall, we really enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

My husband and I have been visiting Folly for years and this house was one of our favorites. The location was perfect, on the bay and across from the beach. The house was cleanly and plenty of towels were provided (which is always nice). We liked the back screened porch and used the hose outside to rinse, as the outdoor shower could use some tlc. We took our two dogs and it was a blast.
We like to cook and the kitchen was equipped with cookware and some basic spices. It was nice having a dishwasher as well.
There was a kayak outside under the deck that my husband washed out and took during high tide in the bay. Highly recommend, he got some beautiful pictures. The dock feels like it may fall apart, so be careful of loose and missing planks, especially if bringing children.
In total, we loved it and the space worked for us and our two dogs. The communication was great and very helpful along the way, before and after checking in, as well as when leaving. We're already thinking about reserving for next year. We may have finally found our favorite Folly place to stay. Highly recommend.
10.0
We LOVED staying at Sol Searcher. The location was perfect - literally steps from the beach and only a short drive to downtown Charleston. Our days started with sunrise beach walks and ended with epic backyard sunsets over the marsh with sundowners in hand. When you're not at the beautiful beach, there is plenty of outdoor living at the house with a back patio and fire pit, screened porch and a fabulous roof deck. You can even kayak right from your very own dock! The inside is also comfortable and stylish, with plenty of space to lounge and beachy, cheerful décor throughout. What a gem - we can't wait until our next stay!
From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay on Folly Beach and the house. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope that you stay with us again, next time you visit Folly Beach.

This is a great, comfortable beach house with exceptional views, easy beach access and all the comforts of home. Perfect roof top deck, fire pit and large back yard for all your outdoor fun.
8.0
Great location and wonderful views. The house is small but ok for 4 people. The half bath is in the laundry room off the screened in porch which is a bit inconvenient. Plenty of utensils, plates, and pots & pans. Beds were comfortable. The house and porch could use a good cleaning. Overall a good place to stay.
10.0
We had an amazing month long stay in our Twin Palms rental! The porch and upper deck were two favorite spots to hang out! It was perfect to be a 2 min walk from the beach and be just a few min to town by drive. The house offered some of the best views on Folly as you were able to take advantage of the marsh.
MyOceanRental: Thank you so much for your glowing review and feedback! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we really hope you choose MyOceanRental next time you visit the next time you visit beautiful Folly Beach!

We loved our stay here! Very comfortable accommodations (except maybe the trundle bed- not so comfy, squeaky 😄) with everything we needed! Location is lovely and quiet with gorgeous marsh views. House is very clean and charming. Definitely recommend and would love to stay again! Only suggestion would be some more hooks inside and out for towels, bathing suits. Thanks so very much for sharing your lovely home with us!

4.0
I had noise, loud noises the entire stay! Two houses were under construction from 6am til sundown! Generators, power saws, nail guns etc. Even the weekend! Grounds crew showed up to cut grass at 6 am on Saturday morning! I had virtually No quiet time at the cottage!
6.0
Very much a cottage and has that Folly Beach funk. So if looking for comfort, decent bathroom and bedrooms not on top of each other, then look elsewhere. Pipe broke under sink in kitchen, shower difficult to negotiate and walls dirty and cracking and floors sloping. For a few days or a week you could be fine as it’s a wonderfully quiet and beautiful part of island but very far from town center. Definitely has some good features like rooftop deck and proximity to beach. Just depends on your style and level of needs.
