A great place to stay.

The downstairs unit is totally separate, which may suit some larger families well. It is below ground, and less airy, but the separate nature was more of a plus than a minus. Two kitchens.

Great spot near the bird sancturary

We were 4 friends of a certain age and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Northstar. Our goal was to be as close as possible to the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve which NS was perfect for. Our only complaint was the lack of shade on the deck until late afternoon. We brought our own unbrellas, but they didn't hold up very well in the wind. Would definately rent again.

Comfortable and awesome!

The pictures do not give this place justice. Nice to be away from the busy beach area. Great stay and when we had a small accident st the house, the owners answered right away to fix the problem. The downstairs is total separation from the main house. Loved staying in there. Bathroom was amazingly huge. Kitchen has everything. They have already welcomed us back, which might happen in the future. Would enjoy this house any time of year with any group of people.

Charleston Girls trip

This was a perfect property for our group of 10. There was plenty of space to hang out in the kitchen/sitting area as well as the porch. The beach was a short.walk and having the beach chairs delivered was perfect. The home was clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. The only negative which was not anything to do with the host is that it can be a challenge to get uber/lyft reliably out there. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Cool Cab on Folly Beach for a family owned business to transport to and from downtown Charleston and/or airport.

Amazing house with great views

We had our entire family for vacation. Plenty of space and a wonderful open area at front of house to enjoy the amazing views. The house was extremely clean!! Loved having the washer and dryer in the main bath. The downstairs space smelled a little musty at first but we just opened the windows and let it air out and everything was great. The downstairs apartment is a GREAT space. All bedrooms at back of house. So no views but with having the bedrooms at back allowed the entire front house have amazing views!! No many steps to have to access house which we really enjoyed with small kids and older parent. Quite beach and plenty of room to play and have fun on beach!!! We can’t wait to visit again!!!

Perfect Girls Trip!

I booked this house for a girls trip and it was perfect! It fit 8 of us comfortably (with two in the apartment that is accessible from the side of the house. There were also 2 couches that people could have slept on. The deck and the views were beautiful. The house was cozy and nicely decorated. The owners left shampoo, conditioner, lotion and make up wipes samples. Check in and check out instructions were clear and the owners answered all of my questions quickly and were very helpful. The $250 credit covered our beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Quick 30 min cab into the city. The main strip in Folly Beach us a bunch of great restaurants and some fun bars. The house was just far enough from the Main Street that we had to grab a cab. Ubers we’re hard to come by that far out on the island but we called a local cab company which worked well. Pre-booking Ubers (especially to get to the airport) also worked well. It was a great location because the beach is beautiful and was quiet this time on year (late Sept. ) but the weather was still gorgeous and the “downtown” in Folly has a lot going on and has a fun beach town vibe, while you’re also super close to Charleston. They were generous with their check in and check out times since they were done cleaning early and didn’t have anyone else checking in the day we left. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation

This was the first time we have taken a family vacation in quite some time. Unfortunately, it was not an enjoyable stay and became more work than a vacation. The location was nice. The house was not very clean and we had a lot of bug problems. When we alerted the management company, we were informed that they were aware of a bug problem that had been treated a few days prior to our arrival. The bugs were all over the house (termites, spiders, carpenter ants). We were concerned for the wellbeing and safety of our children with the amount of bugs. The management company, after seeing the property, recommended that we relocate somewhere else given the amount of bugs in the home. We had to be separated from our family for one night and then had to take the next day to go through the hassle of moving everything, losing an entire day of vacation. Although we appreciated their willingness to find us a new place, we ended up having issues at the following house as well. The beach access was gone because of beach maintenance, we had to walk a great deal with littles ones and could not even enjoy the pool or outside of the new house because mosquitos were so bad. We were really disappointed with our lack of a vacation with everything that had transpired. Originally the property management company had offered to help us move our stuff to the new location but when asked, they asked what we actually needed help with. It seemed that it was just a polite offer made versus an actual offer.
