Best Folly Vacay Ever!
We are locals from the Charleston area and have gone on our family staycation to Folly for the past 6-7 years and this was our favorite house we have ever had. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved how open the kitchen/living space was with massive windows that provided a great view. The outside deck was also amazing! Almost didn't want to go sit down on the beach because the deck was so close! We will be back next year!

Perfect Beach Home
Had a great time at Making waves property. House was well stocked and very clean. Exactly as described. Location couldn’t be more perfect. Close to restaurants but good distance away from the crowds at the pier. High tide was not an issue. Had plenty beach space all morning/day/evening. Went with 2 adults & 3 toddlers. Ample space for all. Everyone had a blast. Will definitely come again.

Fabulous Get Away
Every bit of our stay at Making Waves was incredible. The listing agents were fantastic getting us booked. Check in was a breeze. The minute we walked in the door, we were blown away. The pictures do not do this home justice. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The home comes with absolutely everything. I can’t wait for our next stay at Folly & it will definitely be back at Making Waves. Thank you, Dianne & Michael. We had a fabulous vacay!

Beautiful stay near Folly Beach
When my gf and I walked into this property we were just blown away by the view of the beach and ocean. We literally sat there for the first day just watching the waves and hearing the ocean. It was very peaceful. It’s a great location with a short ride to down town Folly and Charleston. We were even invited to book a private boat tour by the owners! It was an amazing trip. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

You can’t get any closer to the ocean than this property. We spent time here with my mother who loves the beach and seeing the ocean. She was able to enjoy even when we had rain with the full length windows and prime location.

Family Time Together
Our time at "Making Waves" was amazing! The house is all on one floor and the open floor plan is great for family time. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The best part of the stay was the location of the home. It is about 3 miles from the downtown area and is very quiet and relaxing. The beach is just steps away and was perfect for walking or relaxing. Our family has met in Folly Beach for many years and this is absolutely one of our favorite homes!

Outstanding Spot!
Stayed here the week of Labor Day, a week after hurricane Idalia came through the area. Everything about this place really reflects how great the Folly Beach area is, owners were accommodating in letting us check in early in the day (traveling with an 8 month old). Can’t beat a few steps down and you’re on the beach, windows across the back of the house give fantastic views all day! House was stocked with everything you could need, kitchen utensils, toiletries, towels etc. I would recommend this place 10/10
