Great house for a crowd upstairs. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Back porch ocean very better than advertised. Ground level apartment smells musty and floods in a storm.

This was the first time we have taken a family vacation in quite some time. Unfortunately, it was not an enjoyable stay and became more work than a vacation. The location was nice. The house was not very clean and we had a lot of bug problems. When we alerted the management company, we were informed that they were aware of a bug problem that had been treated a few days prior to our arrival. The bugs were all over the house (termites, spiders, carpenter ants). We were concerned for the wellbeing and safety of our children with the amount of bugs. The management company, after seeing the property, recommended that we relocate somewhere else given the amount of bugs in the home. We had to be separated from our family for one night and then had to take the next day to go through the hassle of moving everything, losing an entire day of vacation. Although we appreciated their willingness to find us a new place, we ended up having issues at the following house as well. The beach access was gone because of beach maintenance, we had to walk a great deal with littles ones and could not even enjoy the pool or outside of the new house because mosquitos were so bad. We were really disappointed with our lack of a vacation with everything that had transpired. Originally the property management company had offered to help us move our stuff to the new location but when asked, they asked what we actually needed help with. It seemed that it was just a polite offer made versus an actual offer.

We really loved the main level of the home. The downstairs suite was very musty so we chose not to use it. Instead one member of our party slept on the couch.

This was a perfect property for our group of 10. There was plenty of space to hang out in the kitchen/sitting area as well as the porch. The beach was a short.walk and having the beach chairs delivered was perfect. The home was clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. The only negative which was not anything to do with the host is that it can be a challenge to get uber/lyft reliably out there. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Cool Cab on Folly Beach for a family owned business to transport to and from downtown Charleston and/or airport.
