Our family LOVED the location, being right on the beach! The view was amazing! They had about everything we would need. There’s a super cool play structure for the kids in the backyard—fun! The house is great, especially the new addition! The remainder of the house is pretty eclectic, some TLC needed but really a great place. ##### Angela H.

We understood that it was a duplex but did not realize we would share the same porch and access to the beach. Luckily our neighbors were a very nice older couple with a dog that our liked. ##### Laurie T. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cary F. 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect October Weekend This place is incredible! We have stayed in beach front condos on Folly for past vacations-the location of Zanzibar makes them look far away! No need to pack a cooler or snacks! We had a maintenance issue when we arrive-no internet-but Robin from the rental agency arrived quickly and did not leave until it was resolved. This was our 1st stay at Zanzibar but certainly will not be our last! ##### Cary F. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### william m. 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Zanzibar has every amenity you could want. While we had some hickups like not knowing how the range top operated and couldnt stream TV and the air went out the last day we still give it 5 stars because it has everything you could ask for and a beautiful kitchen. Also great beach watching all the surfers was great entertainment. And of course pet friendly!!!! ##### william m.

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Candace 3 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The property overall was great, the location right on the beach was perfect. The playground area was run down and rusted. I wish there were more basic amenities, like dishwashing detergent and more towels. We were a family of 7 and had to reuse towels all week, even with the main bathroom getting soaking wet because there wasn't a shower curtain. The other shower didn't have a shower head at all. Needs updates but otherwise it was a good house. ##### Candace Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina M. 8 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely lovely We needed a really quick local getaway (from GVL, SC) and wanted to come “home” to Charleston, but wanted to be away from the bustle and just watch nature and surfers. We got just that from Zanzibar. Absolutely charming and comfortable space just a few feet from the sand to watch the waves crash during the day and the clear constellation-filled sky at night. The kitchen and master bath were gorgeous with creature comforts that made us feel super cozy. Our dogs LOVED the house as they could watch the ocean and the birds easily without much of an obstructed view. Thank you for having us! Also, Joe of Cups Saloon down the street was amazing if you’re looking for really delicious food with a creative international twist! ##### Gina M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan G. 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Love the constant view of the ovean House was beautiful. If you’re old though, the only chair you can get up from is the kitchen chairs. Even outside. I wanted to take an outside chair from the duplex. Other than that, we had no tv because there was a problem with direct tv access. Made us take advantage of the view more. Most important thing was sunrise access to the ocean. Perfect!! ##### Jan G. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan M. 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### our family spring break trip The property was beautiful, location was fantastic. A few appliances were broken and not working. In addition the management company sent a company to fix it and the appliance worker asked if we would let them in to work on the appliances while we were packing up (which I didn't let them because I didn't feel comfortable allowing that). Also, there was a racoon in the laundry room. Lastly, we were provided incorrect door code to gain entry to the property. Two consecutive days the adjoining unit there was furniture movement around 2 am. The property was great and I would love to go to this property again that said I feel that the property management company had some miss steps. ##### Dan M.
