Used house for a reunion of college friends and spouses and it was perfect. Plenty of room, every couple had their own bathroom and 2 living rooms allowed people to choose between a more boisterous or a quieter group. Great beach views from both decks and direct private beach access from the lower deck. Easy walk to town and plenty of parking at the house.

Beach Wedding

A small beach wedding of family and friends. The covered porch allowed us to still have the beach as apart of wedding as the temperature dropped. The house is beautiful and the property manager/owner was very responsive.

Family funeral

We had 18 family members from all over the country travel for a family funeral. This was a wonderful house to gather and connect. Everything was as described and the owner let a guest check in early due to unexpected travel changes. Would definitely stay here again - very clean and right on the beach. If we had one suggestion it would be to have a few extra throw blankets in the closets for cold nights.

A Great Stay

It was a wonderful place for a family vacation. We enjoyed the porch and the views immensely. The two washer and dryers and three refrigerators were a real plus for a large family. Gordon always answered promptly to any questions that we had. On the downside, we were surprised at the lack of an adequate supply of dishwashing detergent, soap, paper towels to begin the vacation. Otherwise we have no complaints. It was a great stay!

Really nice house with plenty of room to spread out. Several TVs.

I recommend this house. Close to the water even though it wasn't swimming weather, several folks rented wet suits and went in the water. Kitchen was well equipped. House was very clean. One problem with an oven was resolved as soon as it was reported. Several TVs so people could watch different shows. A nice room that accommodated the entire group when they gathered.

Great time in great location

The house was just perfect. The rooms, the amenities, the cleanliness, towels and sheets, access to the beach, parking, and everything else were just perfect. My only advice to the homeowner would be to have hand soap available at all sinks. We had to buy 8 hand soap bottles, one for each sink. Also, have some extra toilet paper (more than the 2 provided per the bathroom) available somewhere in the house, in case of long stays. We stayed for three nights and needed to buy toilet paper.

Exactly what we needed

It is perfect for when you get a large number of family and friends for a wedding. Everyone had plenty of room. The home was perfectly designed for this type of funtion with bedrooms to the rear and the two large rooms facing the ocean. And just a short drive to the Island House and local restaurants

Fantastic view and great layout for a large group

Loved the gorgeous views from the living areas and easy beach access. Kitchen was fabulous for cooking for a group and well-stocked with pots/pans etc. Bedrooms and baths were comfortable and everything was as promised. Great location on the water and walking distance to "downtown" Folly Beach. The house and furtnishings are a little worn and there was some water damage when we were there in the ceiling. I think they were planning to do some work on the house this winter. We did not mind because everything was functional and it fealt like a real family beach house, not a sterile model.

Great property and location

I was very pleased with our stay. The house is large enough for a large group to spend time together but also enough room to get a little piece and quiet when needed. There was some water damage that I’m sure it will be fixed and I’m glad my booking was not canceled because of it.
