Beach getaway
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. Perfect size for 2 people. Close to the Pier and easy walk to restaurants and shops. We loved sitting on the balcony soaking in the front beach views both at sunrise and in the evening with the moon reflecting on the ocean. The fall weather while we were there was just perfect.

Great location but a few things you should know…
The condo has a fantastic view of the ocean and pier. But unfortunately on our trip, the beach refurbishment was taking place pretty much right next to our condo. That information was not disclosed in the booking and we could hear the trucks beeping and working all night. That was a huge bummer. Our neighbors also said the same thing. As much money as we spent on the short weekend trip we were there, that information should have been given to us. We could even hear them while we were trying to relax on the beach and the trucks would go by, drag the sand, and honk their horns at the people on the beach. Not so relaxing. The condo was beautiful, not the cleanest, but it was fine for just the two of us. One of the neighbors had a dog and it barked A LOT! Overall , the condo was nice. Just wish we would have known these things before booking.

Short get away
We just love Folly Beach and wanted to be right on the beach this time. Although the porch was extremely nice as was the view, i felt like there might have been an animal in the condo so i had a reaction. Since the listing said no pets allowed, i thought there had been no pets at all. Great locations though

Folly beach
The view is amazing! The condo on the other hand was just ok. The keypad door knob was loose and about falling off the front door. It wasn’t as clean as you would expect. We found someone’s fake fingernail on the living room floor. When I ran the dishwasher there was still a soap in it. I’m not sure the dishes we had been eating off of were actually clean. There was no tv in the bedroom. We had to buy toilet paper while we were there because there was only one roll for a five day stay. I got an email from the host giving me information about our stay at 10pm when our checkin was 10 am. I was not impressed with this property, but again, the view of the ocean was amazing!

Great location
The condo location is really great - a few doors down from the pier and walkable to everything in Folly Beach. You walk down the stairs, across a wooden pathway and you're on the beach. We had some mechanical/repair issues and the owner was responsive. Be sure to bring your own soap for the shower as well as shampoo, conditioner as they are not provided. There was hand soap, some dishwasher tabs and laundry tabs which was very handy. The location would make this a great place for a longer stay. You do have to walk up 3 flights of stairs so if mobility is an issue, this would not be a good selection but if you want to be right on the beach and a few blocks from everything - including Bert's - this is a good choice.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Great location, very close to downtown. Well within walking distance. Beach access was great. Got our exercise walking up and down the steps, but well worth it. Loved being able to walk out door and see the ocean. Fishing pier is just a short walk away. Property was very clean.

Perfect location
The most wonderful thing about this condo is the balcony view of the ocean and it is right on the beach with easy access to the sand and waves. We enjoyed amazing sunrises and on the day it was stormy the large window provided a great view of the rough waves crashing against the pier. The dolphins and surfers were also enjoyable to watch. We walked to the restaurants and a market so there was no need to move our car. So very convenient! The condo is an end unit which makes it nice and private with the best views! Be aware that there are 3 floors of steps that you must climb to get to the condo in case you have mobility issues, however this was not a problem for us. The king bed was comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with what we needed. The shower with the rain shower head was nice and we always had plenty of hot water. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely chose to stay here again. I am sure in the morning I will miss the sunrise and the sound of the waves!

Folly Condo
The property is in a wonderful location with great views. It is close to great restaurants, it’s on the beach, It’s close to the pier. It would have been nice to know before hand that there were 49 steps from the ground level to the condo level. For someone older with artificial joints, it was a struggle to carry all our luggage to the condo. I should have been more aware and realized that there wasn’t an elevator before booking. Once in the condo it was surface clean but could use a deep cleaning. It also needs some things repaired. There is an outlet cover missing, an outlet that was worn to the point that it wouldn’t hold a phone charger, the bathroom faucet barely has a trickle of water coming out when on full, the shower curtain has mold starting to grow along the bottom etc. We really appreciated that it was smoke free but a lot of other people sat on the decks and smoked to the point we weren’t able to enjoy our deck and beautiful views. We did have a cockroach run across the kitchen floor and run under the dishwasher before we could kill it. We did only see one.
