Leave the door open to wake up and fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean. Take a Warm outdoor tub under the moon. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time. Walk right off the deck to the beach. Apartment was clean with everything needed for an easy week. Found the price to be very fair for the view and access. Bed and shower were great and the entire dwelling was even more comfortable than the pictures represented. With gratitude. ##### Matt B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn R. 30 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay I really enjoy my stay here. I fixed the auto shade for the center front window for the next guy. It’s right off the beach. Folks hit that beach but not overcrowded. It was fun watching surfers every morning from the porch and only about 1.5 miles to the pier if you want to visit there. I’m not thrilled about the extra charges from the property management company that organizes for the owner and that’s the only thing that would prevent me returning. If you can afford those fees then don’t worry and go for it. My child says “I really liked how squishy the bed was!” ##### Glenn R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek B. 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### ON THE BEACH This property is an "apartment" that is attached to a main house via a separate entrance. We stayed with our 2 year old and had just enough space. There is one bedroom and one bathroom with a private beach access deck. Private but shared with the attached house. Step off the deck though and you're on the beach! Can't get any closer! The kitchen was stocked well and the property was clean. It does show it's age and will probably need updates soon, but overall is a great property. The owner was responsive when needed. The views are great. I would definitely recommend this property if you're looking for a beach getaway! Especially if you are a solo traveler, couple or (maybe) have a small child. ##### Derek B. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne S. 6 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem As I pulled in the driveway (a huge plus) I became a little concerned about staying. But I had an anxious 8 year old ready to play on the beach. Once I walked through the rustic wooden door/gate my concerns vanished. Zen earned its name. This place was perfect for my 4 night stay. There isn’t a washer/dryer and that’s not a complaint but could be an issue had I stayed longer . Beautiful view, tons of seashells, and perfect distance from restaurants and shops . Last but not least the air conditioning is perfect and the sofa is incredible 😂 ##### Joanne S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### FD W. 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Nice but has issues. Here’s the carrot: beautiful location with amazing views and far from the craziness around Center St. Two cool decks and private access to the beach. The shower is awesome and the place came with amply supply of trash bags. Here’s the stick: This isn’t on the host, but the property management called the day prior in an attempt to up-sale me on an early arrival or late departure, while negotiating the price the caller then noticed that they can do neither; unprofessional and a waste of time.As for the unit, not as comfortable as advertised. NEEDS A NEW BED! Surface of the bed is like a lying on the edge of a black hole. When you lay down the pit in the middle sucks you in. I can’t believe nobody hasn’t commented about this. The bed totally wrecked my back. The toilet has a hard lean to the right. The 2 outside chairs are uncomfortable and flimsy, also only one chaise lounge on the 1st landing. Why not 2 to watch the sky at night? Lastly, not that it was advertised, there is nothing in the kitchen other than silverware, assorted dishes and pots/pans. No coffee, coffee filters, paper towels, salt & pepper, sweeteners or spices. Wished we had known this before having to make an extra trip to a grocery. To summarize, Zen has amazing views and great beach access but it’s overpriced considering the uncomfortable bed and lack of comfortable outdoor furniture and lack of towels/washcloths. ##### FD W. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joyce B. 14 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### DO NOT RENT!! Not as advertised!! Tons of steps!!! I will be fair in this review and list the pros and cons- unlike the reviews I read that convinced us to rent in the first place. Pros- the view is good, although it is obstructed. The house sits behind large groves. The bed is comfortable. The shower -very small but very nice. There is a private walkway to the beach, but it’s shared with the main house down several steps- if someone is renting the main house you walk through their back deck Cons: 1\. Not as advertised, it’s in a not good part of Folly. The East end past the 13 block. Its a weird set up 2\. Very run down inside and out. Soft floors. Needs painting. Toilet slants to left- you sit down and it leans bad. 3\. STEPS! there are 28 steps to the top apartment- not recommended for anyone who can’t do steps or if you don’t want to lug a lot of stuff up. 4\. NO instructions for how to close the blinds 5\. Sliding glass door that didn’t lock!! We thought the first night we fixed it, but it was a false since of security that was very upsetting. Maintenance came, said it’s fixed we double checked and it was not- this consumed multiple hours of our vacation. After several hours they discovered they couldn’t find the part. They gave us a board to put in the door- our last day. 6\. The TV is way too high, it’s basically on the ceiling above the top of the sliding glass door on the right. Full disclosure-Folly’s Best Rentals did credit us for one night-350$. It was not enough. We will never rent this property again!! ##### Joyce B.
