10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at Folly beach, but last time we came as a family of 5 (parents and 3 kids) while this time we were 10 (3 adult couples, 5 teenagers). Everyone had a comfortable bed and bathroom without feeling too crowded.Overall we enjoyed a really good stay at "Seas the day"!Key highlights: ocean view from the master bedroom, very short walk to the beach, lots of gear like umbrellas and chairs for the beach, spacious house, easy parking, Weber BBQ, USB plugs in every room, easy connection to the tvs, gas kitchen.Biggest positive surprise was the outdoor pool that kept quite cool and was refreshing and clean; it was not in the listing when we had booked!About Folly Beach itself, we knew what to expect but unfortunately, we got a LOT of rain, pretty much 12 hours/day or more the first four days, which also resulted in a serious leak from the ceiling on the first floor; the owner was very responsive and did their best to repair and manage the leak, and we did get a refund for the inconvenience. The last two days were gorgeous and gave us a full Folly Beach experience including dolphins sighting, bocce ball playing on the sand, walks/runs on the 3 miles beach and even the famous sunrise on the last day,"
