The Blue Crab was perfect for our family vacation to Folly Beach. The house is located w/in easy walking distance to the beach AND two blocks from downtown, making it super easy to walk to dinner or get ice cream. The house was very clean and well furnished.

Wonderful Stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay on Folly Beach! The house was beautifully decorated. We had plenty of space for everyone with all of the bedrooms and bathrooms. We especially loved the hang out space under the house where we watched football games and enjoyed the hot tub. The location was perfect and we loved being able to walk to the beach, Bert’s Market, restaurants, and shops! We really hope to stay here again!

We enjoyed the visit

The house was in a central but at times loud location. The team at My Ocean Rental did a great job responding to text messages and even got us a new coffee machine when ours was not working. The hot tub and grill are two great features.

Beautiful Beach House

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is within a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. It was clean and spacious. We especially enjoyed spending our afternoons in the outdoor space under the house. There is a market within a block from the house that had a lot of items we needed as well. We had a great time here.

A True Gem

This bright airy space was immediately welcoming. Our stay was perfect! We were a family of 6 that was able to spread out across 4 bedrooms. The home had all that was needed for cooking and entertaining. The outdoor space made for the perfect family meeting spot complete with a hot tub that worked perfectly.A block or 2 from the beach, shops and restaurants rounded out the amazing convenience factor of our stay. We WILL be back!
