Can't wait to come back
What a charming beach house! Tammy was great to communicate with: prompt, and very friendly. Check in was painless, and we arrived to a spotless and very clean house, which, if you're anything like me and nervous about traveling during COVID your worries can be at ease here. It has everything you need to get your vacation started. The house comes with all the things you need for the beach so if you are the type of person who doesn't like to over pack, you don't have to! We arrived with not much more than our bathing suits and we were pleasantly surprised with all the amenities. There were beach chairs, beach shade tent, toys for my 5 year old, boogie boards, life jackets and floaties, a small cooler...list goes on! Berts is a few doors down for groceries and supplies (they have amazing hot breakfast sandwiches in the morning). Crowley seafood Market is nearby where we picked up local shrimp and fish to grill back at the house. The location was fantastic, right off the beach path and a very quick 1 minute walk to the beach. Outdoor shower was nice to rinse off. The house stays cool and is shaded by big trees so its perfect to catch an afternoon nap in between beach trips. We utilized the lovely, enclosed porch for our meals and relaxing. The place is more spacious than the pictures make it seem. I don't have anything bad to say about Tammy's beach house, I will be looking into staying again!

Thank you soo much for everything and the extras saved us so much time as daily beach trips needed on the go more than I realized. We loved the connivence and we felt like home- yet even better. We already referred your location to our family and family friends. My youngest wants us to book it again for next year! Highly recommend especially for location and amenities with comfort. Close to golf course, folly beach, many restaurants and any convenience store needed. The Gillie’s Seafood restaurant was close and very wonderful. The Crab house wonderful views and good food too. Not far from Folly Beach was The Lost Dog cafe was a family pleaser too! All close. We loved Demetri (?) park. We didn’t catch anything to eat but was wonderful park close with fishing pier and small beaches. So much more to do and see . Hosts fantastic communication. Thank you again. We can’t wait to come back and longed to stay longer!

Perfect location for day trips into Charleston. Wouldn’t you rather look at the marsh and relax with a good view at the end of the day?! Us too! That’s why we chose to stay here while visiting Charleston. Folly beach is really cute. The views from the condo are amazing! The team for the rental are extremely responsive and jumped to help us with a little issue that we encountered. They got it fixed even when it was the night before thanksgiving. They went above and beyond! The place is clean and comfortable and accurately described. My only warning is that the check out list is more extensive than we would have liked. You must strip all the bedding off the beds and put in laundry bags. Same with towels. This is more than I want to do at the end of vacation especially when I’m paying a cleaning fee. Still overall a great place to stay!
