What a wonderful home and stay! Perfect location- just far enough away from the main area to be calm, but very short beach walk to restaurants, shops, etc. Very clean home. Melanie was highly communicative and left many notes to help guests understand her place. Great layout for 2 families. So glad we stayed here!

The house was beautiful and location was great!

We loved everything about our stay. The house was perfectly equipped, the location outstanding and Folly always delivers. We hope to return next year and recreate the magic.

Turtle Watch is in an incredible location. Waking up looking at the waves is a little mind blowing. The house is perfect for eight (or ten) people. Kitchen has everything. Everything worked. It was a memorable week for our family.

Great vacation. Location and accommodations were wonderful.

What a fabulous place this is. We’ve been renting summer vacation houses for over 10 years and Turtle Watch is now top of our list. The kitchen was very well stocked for all our cooking needs and the few times we didn’t cook, we walked to the local restaurants. We loved the screened in back porch where we sat and watched the waves and yes, a few dolphin swam by. The kids especially liked the closeness of our “backyard beach”. The overall decor of the house reflected a very welcoming feeling that allows you to relax and enjoy time with family. Definitely will visit again.

Enjoyed the week. The house was beautiful and has all the essentials and more. Melanie thinks of her guests and provides everything needed for a successful beach vacation.

Excellent Vacation and Melanie the homeowner is wonderful to work with. We had a great time! This is our 3rd time at this vacation home and we will be back:)

We stayed at Turtle Watch for a week with immediate and extended family. The house is beautifully kept, landscaping gorgeous and inviting, clean and very well stocked. We had small issue not being able to open freezer and the owner Melanie was there in 15 minutes to correct the problem. No further dilemmas all week. Air conditioning was great and very comfortable. Plenty of supplies with specific instructions…which I appreciate! We are all on the same page regarding expectations. The views from her home spectacular. She was only a call away if we needed. We would love to return in the future….she made the whole process very simple. Thank you Melanie for sharing your beautiful home with our family!

Turtle Watch is an awesome house with all your needs anticipated. The views are gorgeous, the beach is steps away, the town is within walking distance and Charleston is close by. The beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen is user friendly. We enjoyed our vacation emencely.

We had a great time and the house was perfect. Thanks so much.

We had a great stay at Turtle Watch. Gorgeous views of the ocean, very clean property with everything you could need. Check-in went very smoothly -- she even got us in early after the tennis tournament we came down to see was rained out for the afternoon. Melanie was very responsive to questions, too. Overall a great experience.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The home was stunning and stocked with everything you can think of for cooking and the beach. We also had two little ones with us and the baby gear for use was so helpful. The owner was so nice and thoughtful as well. We loved Folly beach and plan on visiting and staying here again. Can’t beat this location!

Everything comes together to make an amazing and memorable trip. The house is perfect with every amenity. The view is breathtaking from every single window. The house is spotless not a speck of dust. There are also super helpful guides put around the house to help make the stay easy. This is our second trip , this time we brought my husbands brothers family and they loved it just as much. We will be back soon. Close to everything while still being in a quiet peaceful space to enjoy a pure blissful beach day. The kids love all the toys and beach toys, min golf and ping pong.

We enjoyed a wonderful week with family at Turtle Watch. The home offers many gathering spaces inside and out with amazing views. It’s comfortable, clean and includes amenities for all ages and activities. Great location steps from the beach and an easy walk to town. Perfect spot to relax and spend time together.

My family has rented Beach homes on Sullivans Island and IOP. A year ago we decided we wanted to try Folly Beach. I must have looked at a dozen VRBO listings and nothing grabbed me. Then I saw the listing for Turtle Watch II and I knew this was the place we wanted to rent.First off the name indicated the owner appreciates nature. The write up was very detailed and the pictures were excellent. The pictures were accurate. Everything was just as it appeared in the listing. The house is immaculate and extremely well maintained. We like to eat some of our meals at the house we rent and I have to say this was the best home for cooking. The appliances were clean and top notch. We have never rented a home that had such a wide assortment of cooking utensils that were clean and well made. Outstanding from a kitchen standpoint. We had a total of 7 people at one time, 2 couples and 3 singles. We all had our own bedrooms which was extremely important to us. The beds were very comfortable. There were 3 spacious bathrooms that were very clean. Over the years I have come to expect some minor issues in the homes we have rented. There were absolutely no issues to deal with at Turtle Watch. Location, location, location!!! The house is right on the beach. It is a half mile from town so you are far enough away from the crowds, but close enough to walk there anytime for dining or shopping. The Folly Beach pier is fantastic and only a 10 minute walk along the beach. The beach is pristine. Just a wonderful location. I had the opportunity to speak with the owner a couple of times and Melanie was most helpful. She answered my questions and made me feel most welcome. You can tell that Turtle Watch is her pride and joy. I will stop now because no one will want to read such a long review. We loved our stay at Turtle Watch. It was our best beach home rental we ever experienced. I recommend it highly, but take good car of her because she is special. We will be back.

I won’t be able to convey the tranquillity found with this home and Folly. It is so convenient even though we had several commitments on the peninsula it was so easy to Uber everywhere. We had friends stay with us and they fell in love too. Even though it was off season, we spent time on the beach, played ping pong, even did a puzzle on a rainy day. We all were comfortable with plenty of privacy if we needed it. This is a perfect place for any situation, family gathering, friend get together, or even a romantic hideaway! You have all the amenities and communication couldn’t be better. This is always my go to place for our Charleston visits!!

Beautiful home! Fantastic views!!

This is a beautiful, well appointed and maintained home. I would recommend to anyone. Children need to be well behaved as the home is nicely decorated and accessorized. We had an infant and a 4 year old and it worked well. There are lots of games and puzzles to play indoors and out. The screened porch facing the ocean is just amazing.

The security cameras on the back porch (where we sat most of the time) made us feel as if we were being watched by the owner. Several drink bottles left under one of the beds by previous renter and cockroachs in the kitchen. If possible, I recommend you speak with the owner on the phone prior to renting, so you will know what to expect. I also recommend you video or photograph state of house upon your arrival and upon your departure...just in case.

The house was very nice. and well decorated. Over all very nice. I did have a suggestion for 2 things. In the main room the 2 red chairs need replacing the seats have bottomed out. The sofa and loveseat present a problem I do not know why you would have white fabric and then want people to put a sheat over them. Not very good. The master shower needs a grab bar for safety. TV in master bedroom would work better if the remote had batteries.

Spending the week with our kids and grandkids at Turtle Watch was just wonderful! Plenty of beach toys and chairs, well-equipped kitchen and oh those ocean views! The screen porch was a wonderful spot to hang out when we weren’t at the beach. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Turtle watch is a super clean, beautifully decorated, well located, and comfortable and fun. Has lots of amenities, like boggy boards, chairs to take to the beach, coolers, lots of outdoor and indoor games, lovely screened in porch, great hammocks! You cannot go wrong with Turtle Watch!

Have stayed in this house many times over the last 20 years. Current owner has upgraded substantially over last few years. Nice house in a great location on Folly.

We have been to many different beach homes in VA, NC, and SC Turtle Watch is not the largest house that we have been in but it was the cleanest and best equipped. The size of the house was more than adequate for our group of 10. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, clean and comfortable house on the oceanfront.

We had a great time at this home. The home was very clean and organized. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked. I was a little on edge having smaller kids because the house has a lot of breakable glass items. I would recommend purchasing the insurance because it might save you some headache. Owner is very nice but very particular. Location is close to downtown if you like that atmosphere.

It was very beautiful. Great location

Beautiful property with great access to uncrowded beach. Easy check in and check out, and house has lots of amenities. Lots of beach toys for the kids. Screened in deck was great to sit on to enjoy the ocean views and hear the waves. Really enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Turtle Watch is a lovely beachfront home with wonderful amenities.

Turtle Watch was very clean and beautiful! When we weren't on the beach we loved being on the back porch. Kitchen is well stocked. Instructions and expectations were plain. Melanie responded quickly.
