Nice and cozy. Updated apt

The location cannot be beat! The basement unit was cozy. The large deck underneath was a great reprieve from the sun and offered a place to store beach gear. The neighbors upstairs were not loud. Overall it was a good experience.

Hello,
I would like to say that the location was beautiful. I was traveling with my 13 year old daughter, my husband and my elderly mom and elderly uncle. The ease of walking to the beach from the condo was perfect. The decoration of the house was also very nice as well as the supplies for the kitchen were all available. There was however a couple of issues that seemed unsettling, there were dehumidifier’s everywhere and most had to be emptied 2 times a day. There was no beach towels or beach chairs available in the house, which seemed odd as this was a beach house. There was also many many blankets in the spare closet that could not be utilized to hang anything up and lack of storage available was also an issue. Our gravest concern was there were throw rugs around the house and became dangerous as my uncle did trip and fell into a plastic bedside table and broke it, he was ok. I immediately folded all the throw rugs and put them away. I advised the property managers and they were exceptional, kind and considerate. The days at the beach were amazing and the outdoor shower was perfect. I would absolutely stay there again. The house was clean and the managers were exceptionally nice.
Thank you 😊

We enjoyed our stay but I will say there were a couple of things unexpected, at least for us. The listing does say small on the main page “condo” but nothing about the wording or the photos lead us to believe it was anything other than a house. We did talk to two sets of upstairs neighbors who stated the same. One thing about the deck outside is when the upstairs neighbors come off the beach all the sand and water comes thru and lands on you so it was something we had to be aware of. Also the last upstairs guests did not pay attention to what they were leaving on the deck and their trash kept blowing off and landing in the area that was our responsibility. I will say you can tell there was a flip done but the floors are soft and sink in multiple places. There was a dehumidifier in every room, some were hosed so we did not have to empty but others we did, it was quite loud at all times inside. We were there for the beach so mostly it was not a problem till it rained and we had to go inside. We had a problem with the plumbing under the sink that was fixed within 24 hours so we were grateful for the quick response. This was not a bad stay but I do feel it was a little pricey for what we ended up getting.

Nice overall. Walk right off your backporch to the beach. Had a horrible smell on entrance. Maintenance came and said it was the washing machine. They ran a bleach wash through and helped with the smell, however we had to do that once a day to keep the smell away.
4.0 / 5.0
The property is located on the beach - steps to the waves. Can’t beat this location. The beach was clean and not very crowded. The unit was well stocked with everything we might need.
We enjoyed our stay
Only cons were the roaches - maybe a hot humid climate issue but I would strongly recommend a pest control service ASAP
5.0 / 5.0
I selected the unit because it was ocean front and had no stairs. I am retired, and have some handicaps. The location is spectacular! Great beach area. When I arrived, the cleaning crew was just leaving. The place was very clean. My only complaints about the unit are more about my problems than the units! It is not really set up completely for handicapped people. There are no safety bars in the shower/tubs, and the ramp to the beach needs a rail to be safe, as sand and wood can be slippery. There is only one closet for hanging garments. But really, these issues are nitpicking. I enjoyed the place immensely.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect, quiet part of the island, with view of the beach even from the first floor -- great porch area, we practically lived out there the whole time. Some basic maintenance could be done on door handles and sliding screens. Didn't realize smart TV meant you had to input your own subscription services, so be sure to bring your own passwords. Thanks for a lovely place to stay!
2.0 / 5.0
The location is great, but the house needs some serious work. The floors are very wavy and soft. My kids were actually able to race hot wheels cars on the floor by just letting them go. When we arrived one of the bathroom sinks was clogged, we pulled a plunger and were able to get it working again. When we went to take a shower the water faucet fell off when we pulled the handle to turn on the shower, leading to water shooting directly out of the wall. I immediately called the property manager and they said they would send someone out the next day. Maintenance arrived the next day around 11am and said it would be good to use in a little over an hour, when we went to take a shower that evening the same thing happened. The shower faucet in the other bath was loose and starting to separate from the wall as well. In addition, there in a dehumidifier in every room except the bathrooms. As a result of all the dehumidifiers the house is very loud, and it makes it very difficult to sleep at night as they kick on and off. The toilet paper holders are crooked and barely hanging on. When we arrived the back outdoor furniture was very dirty, from rain and blowing sand. I asked the property manager "Follys Best" for a discount and they said yes but then I never heard anything. The house definitely was not as advertised. We stayed in the off season but with taxes and cleaning fees we still paid way too much. I would say $300 per night, during the off would be fair due to everything listed.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is fantastic. It was quite and comfortable. The house had nice upgrades. It makes great use of the space available.

Can’t enjoy beach with pets between 10am - 6pm. We got run off. Neighbors to the left and right written tickets for alcohol in solo cups on the beach. They were families with kids just relaxing. Bugs and mildew smells in the house. Toilet paper holders coming off wall. Neighbors banging on floor and playing music all night on the 2nd floor of this house. Never coming back to this house OR Commie Folly.

This was the perfect place for our family to act like absolute beach bums. It was private, quiet, and there was nothing better than opening the back door and putting your feet in the sand. We'll be coming back again.

Great weekend getaway fur us locals! Loved this recently renovated beachfront property. Couldn't have asked for more!!!
2.0 / 5.0
The location of the property was excellent. Quiet beachfront. The unit itself lacked the quality we were expecting. We struggled with ants. The unit when I arrived was very musty / moldy smelling. There were sandbags over both sliding glass doors that I needed to remove. The beachfront bedroom did not have a sliding screen or a screen on the window so it stayed very musty smelling because we weren’t able to open the room up to air it out. The hot water setting is dangerously high. I probably would not select this unit again.
3.0 / 5.0
I was disappointed to find that I needed to empty water out of several portable dehumidifiers about 4 times a day. Also....I felt the lack of furniture in the bedrooms was inconvenient. We had to live out of suitcases on the floor. But.......the outside area and location were beautiful. I would stay in the area again but not in a basement unit.
1.0 / 5.0
Everything was good with the exception of the rental itself. Overpowering smell of mold when you walk in. Three de-humidifiers running full blast, requiring emptying every two hours day and night. HVAC sitting in the living room running full blast. All the fans going on high. Engine noise from all of this prevented any peace or conversation. There was visible black mold growing on the wall in the master bedroom. Someone had tried to clean it up, but did a poor job. Or it just grows quickly. Whole family was coughing, snotty, sore throat the entire time. We slept, sweating , outside just breath easy. We attempted to just be outside as much as possible. The management knows of the problem. Hides it from possible renters, and then rudely ignores it when you bring it to their attention. Stay away from this place, it is a health hazard. Management is dishonest, rude, and misleading.
5.0 / 5.0
So much fun! Property was more than perfect with walk-out directly to the beach! We made breakfast every morning, as some family slept in and others hit the beach at dawn-so no one was rushing to get gone to breakfast. Rental had all the necessary tools to make it, just add food! Close enough to many fun day trip places....lots of good food and drinks in the evenings!

A beautiful location right on the beach!
Wonderful week on Folly beach! Heat was not working our first day but JJ came quickly to fix it. There was also a leak under the kitchen sink our last day - we reported it to JJ. He was so helpful! Overall a lovely place!

We didn’t know we’d be sharing the property with other renters. It was a bit confusing and disturbing to having others sharing the same property.. Overall, we had a fantastic time!

Wonderful place to stay!!
This property was great! We were right on the beach the second we opened the screen doors! The place is described perfectly. My sister and I came down for a wedding in Charleston and this place was worth the 30 minute drive to the venue! We had a great time and only wish we could have stayed longer!!

Relaxing & Beautiful
Beautiful view and amazing beach access! Literally steps to the ocean!! The service was exceptional, we had the best experience with Justin! He was so responsive! We received a free gift and wanted an extra couple of cups delivered, which he did quickly! We also left an item and he went immediately, retrieved it and sent it to us with some stickers! Genuinely nice and helpful!! Thanks again Folly's Best!

Beach Haven
Wonderful location right on the beach, with ocean view between the dunes. We liked being at the far end of the island where the beach is less crowded. The space was clean and comfortable with a great patio area. We would definitely stay here again when returning to Folly Beach.
