We had a great time. The house was very nice. The main living space is on the top floor giving a great view of both the marsh and ocean. It does mean lots of stairs to climb, however.

Once upon a Tide exceeded our expectations. Located toward the end on the North side of Folly Beach. Views from the home are amazing. 360*. You can even see the Rav bridge. Common area Is large enough for 6-8 people and located on top floor with the amazing views. Bedrooms were Comfortable and adequate in size. Loved our stay due to location and privacy. Even saw some Dolphin in the causeway.

The property was just as advertised. Our family, from Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina, enjoyed our time together. Even though it was one of the coldest Christmases we’ve experienced, we had a good time. Property manager responded promptly when we had trouble with the keypad on the second day. We had from two to eight people during our stay.

House is well apportioned. Great kitchen supplies. Good beds. Wonderful vie of marsh and small view of ocean. Odd thing is there’s no bathtub in the house, only showers. My toddler grandson did not appreciate that. There is some mold on the ceilings at the A/C vents. Saw dog hair on the wood floor. Close to the beach, quiet enough. Road in front of the house is busy, not safe for young kids to ride bikes.

Great week with family. We loved the backyard and the beautiful sunsets off the back porch. The proximity to the beach was excellent. It was nice to be on the quiet end of Folly.

The home was beautiful! Very close to the beach, unmatched views, spacious for a large group! We hosted friends from Italy and we all had a beautiful vacation. There are a lot of steps which was no problem for us but could be for others. Highly recommend!
