Amazing house

We have stayed in a few places on folly over the past 10 years and this one is our favorite! We spent the mornings watching the dolphins, the afternoons on the beach and evenings were spent fishing. We would definitely book this house again!

Memorable Stay at Folly River Home

Overall I thought this was a lovely property. The views of Folly River and the Morris Island light house make this property exceptional, but other features such as a great kitchen, beautiful master suite and super fun game room make this a perfect house for a family or small group of friends. The house is very private and a short walk to the beach. Would rent again!

Great Family Vacation!

My family had a great time. We especially liked the fishing pier and dock. We brought our kayaks and paddle boards and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The fishing was good. The adult children played pool. A quick walk to the beach. The location was perfect! Thank you!

Fun on the river!

What a great property! Beautiful views, convenient location to the 13th street beach access. Quiet location and loved the fenced in yard for our dog! We utilized the dock to view gorgeous sunsets and to paddle board. Game room was a plus and we used it often. The beds were comfortable and kitchen fully stocked. A well appointed house with a quirky/beachy/coastal feel. We would rent here again for sure!

Beautiful escape

Absolutely stunning property with water views and private dock. House is generously proportioned with comfortable common areas and lovely bedrooms. Fully fenced yard was excellent for dogs. Beach is a short walk and dining/shopping a quick drive down the road. We loved our first time visiting folly beach. Property owner was responsive and helpful. Wonderful rental. Highly recommend.

We love Anne's Booty!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! All the comforts of home, beautiful views! The game room provided plenty of entertainment on our rainy day, the dock was a great spot for fishing and crabbing, and the beach was so close! We had a slight problem with the golf cart when we arrived, but one quick text message to the owner and they had a brand new one delivered to the house! Excellent service! We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful family retreat for spring break

Our family of 5 (3 small children) had a wonderful week at this house. It was clean and incredibly well stocked in kitchen and beyond. Beds were very comfortable. Outdoor shower was a hit. View of river was amazing. Walked to beach and found starfish and sand dollars. Kayaked through inlets with dolphins. Michael and Dianne were very responsive and helpful with all questions and needs. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home best location on island

We are frequent renters and this is by far one of our favorites. First the bad...there is none. The only problem we had was leaving and the fact we don't own it. Now on to the good. I apologize in advance if this is lengthy but here goes. This house is filled with love. You can sense it as soon as you enter through the fence. The house is set back from the extremely quiet road. Little to no traffic. The yard is natural and lush. Trees that look like they are old and the very essence of days gone by. Upon entering the front door you are greeted by a very up to date kitchen with beautiful granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Hard wood floors throughout in a wide old world plank. Windows and natural light are plenty and fabulous. The decor is a combination of modern and a little rustic with a sprinkle of antiques. It shouldn't work but somehow it all comes together with an eclectic southern charm. This house is clean. No dust bunnies, rust, mold etc... Even the baseboards are clean. Something I struggle with in my own home. There are small touches throughout that are not only thoughtful but nice. Like a jewelry case in the huge master closet. Not that I have anything to put in it but something I never would have thought of. A pack & play for those with babies. The list is endless. From the lovely quilts to the comfy furniture. This house is by no means stuffy, stark or museum feeling. You want to come in, make yourself at home and put your feet up. In our experience with renting some places are totally wiped out whether by owners or cleaning crew. This is not. There is toilet paper, paper towels, aluminum foil, salt pepper, sugar, spices, hand soap etc....plenty to get you started. Again a very thoughtful gesture. Lastly, the non existent back yard. At least as we know it. This back yard is natures finest. If we sat inside and watched wildlife from one of the many windows our vacation would be complete. But what, if anything, could make it even more fantastic?? A private pier with running water and electricity. Kayak, jet ski or have a boat dropped off right at the dock or just sit and fish. I forgot to mention the ocean is right across the street. We couldn't quiet get enough of this place to really care but it's there. Walk or drive the golf cart. I really need extra space to write all the wonderful things about this house and by the way if it ever goes on the market again...we call dibs. Tee Hee!!!

Beach Trip

We had a great time, we enjoyed fishing from the Dock. We put our kayaks in. The boys loved the ocean. We ate to much.Overall we had a great time. Just a couple of changes that could be made.. the house was very hot at night. We all had a hard time sleeping, you didn’t need any of the covers. We were sweating. Only bedroom that was cool was the loft. The bathrooms also needs doors for more privacy. The hall bath needs a door added back to the hall, so that couple has more privacy. A tv also needs to be added to the guest bedroom. Beautiful home and we will come back. We love Folly Beach.

Our group enjoyed all the areas of the house, playing pool and games together. It was a great dock with fishing fun every evening and abundant new fish tales! My grandsons caught their first fish! The dolphins were there every day. It was a short shady walk to the beach! If you are looking for great fun, rent this house, and make your own memories!

First Folly visit

Wonderful feeling of seclusion on very busy island. Loved the dock and dolphin visits at low tide. We rented kayaks and paddle boards and were thrilled with dolphins. The kids had fun catching crabs off the dock and renting surf boards and trying them out in the ocean. Pool table also was a hit. Thanks for the magical vacation!

Great Stay on Folly Beach

This is a fabulous property! Located on the Marsh side of Folly, the house is beautiful and immaculately clean. The kitchen is very nice and well equipped. The Dock is great, rent a Kayak or bring your own boat. Dolphins play right off the dock, great for an evening cocktail. Only one negative, there is a beautiful Live Oak overhanging the house, but it drops acorns on the master bedroom. Bring some earplugs for whoever is in that room.

Great location

This home was exceptional. We’ve stayed at lots of different places on Folly and this one was everyone’s favorite so far. Deep creek access paired with easy walk to the beach is unmatched. Plenty of space for our party of 8. We also enjoyed the eclectic art and old style furniture. The mattresses were quality and the kitchen fully stocked. I don’t think you could ask for more from a vacation home. We hope to return again next year.

This place is an excellent choice if you like an artistic atmosphere near the beach. This place is so peaceful and the views of the inland water ways is off the chart. I may need to go back with a fishing pole !! It was a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy Folly Beach and Charleston.. Would highly recommend to any family !!
