Fantastic Folly Home

Great location on the beach. Beautiful ocean view from the spacious screened in front porch. The home has a wonderful layout with big bedrooms and bathrooms. Very clean. A great family place with a large dining table to fit everyone. The house is walking distance to the pier and downtown restaurants. Also, a short drive to Charleston.

Comfortable, Convenient Rental

The house was Clean, well maintained and had easy beach access. It was very nice have everything on one floor and the screened back deck was great for relaxing in the evening. There is public beach access directly beside this rental, so there is extra traffic beside the house and more foot traffic on the beach.

Family Break at Folly Beach

Property is a great location with view of the ocean and ease of access to the town center. Nice space to gather and enjoy meals including a large kitchen. Enjoyed having the bedrooms all on one floor (after navigating up the outdoor stairs). Clean and bright and a wonderful screened porch! Property info listed a laundry, that we unable to locate.

Second stay for us for the second year in a row. Love it!

This is a fantastic property in a stellar location. We can walk anywhere in town and the location is perfect for us on the beach. The house is comfortable and we enjoy the open middle which has the kitchen, (large) dining table and living space. Each family (3) has its own room and the kids had a room to themselves. This has worked perfectly for us both years. Carolina One has been helpful with great communication both times as well.

Perfect beach for kids

We have been renting homes at the beach since the mid 90's, this was by far the best. We loved the layout of the house. We loved the long shallow beach, it was awesome for the children and babies, also for fishing in the early morning. The kitchen had most everything that is needed to cook meals. The only minus was the parking lot next door -weekend nights, so therefore only 2 nights - Saturday and then the next Friday (this was not an all night "thing" and it definitely would not keep us from rebooking this house) The location on the beach and so close to the main street was a plus. We also really liked how close it was to other activities. As far as working with the agency, we had issues opening the door that was taken care of immediately. I did call Sunday morning regarding the ice maker not working, which I called again about on Monday and Tuesday. The ice maker was looked at on Tuesday but couldn't be fixed for us. We are so glad we picked this house!

Great location and views. Clean and plenty of space for family. Only negatives were the beds. Mattresses are way past the time to be replaced. Within walking distance to Bert's and restaurants , but also a little noisy and crowded on the beach. Great weather and place to enjoy vacation. Can't wait to visit again.

Nice beach house

We loved the screen porch and the amount of seating. Access to restaurants was within walking distance. Short walk to beach. Excellent bedroom and kitchen layout. What needs improvement: hardwood floors need refinishing and French door needs replacement. Public parking next to house gets very busy and loud on weekends.

Great Beachy Beach House

Great beachy style beach house. Not fancy, just beachy! Loved the layout. Great for 3 couples. Kitchen well equipped. TV very easy to manage. Lots of channels and Netflix. Great porch with lots of chairs. Parking for at least 6 cars. Depending on your own personal perspective, the location was a bit crowded since it's somewhat close to Center St. But...that's also a perk if you don't mind walking a couple of blocks to Center St. Then you don't have to worry about parking. Overall Great stay! Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic location, beautiful home and views. Would stay again.

House was in a fantastic location. Views were beautiful. House was very nice and just the right size. Bedding was clean and nice. House amenities were great as well. The vents were pretty dusty, but we also stayed at end of season. When we arrived, one portion of the screened in porch was ripped. I emailed right away so we wouldn't be blamed, and they sent someone over right away to fix it, which was great. We would definitely stay again.

Clean updated and almost perfect location

The house was really clean and well updated. The location was mostly fantastic: on the beach within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops. We wish we would have known there was a public beach access parking lot right next to the house when we booked. I believe the listing now has photos showing the lot, but we were not aware when we booked the house. On the weekends the lot was noisy late into the night, but otherwise it was not a big issue.

Spring Break 2021

This house is right on the beach which is beautiful but next to the public beach access and parking lot was not ideal. The house needed a better cleaning. Lots of dust and windows needed to be cleaned in order to see the ocean view. The refrigerator and freezer never seemed to cool down properly even after contacting the management company. Overall we had a great family stay. The house was perfect for our family of five. We loved being able to walk to town for great restaurants. We did a lot of bike riding too.

A Great Place for Family to Gather at the Beach

Our extended family had a great stay at 225 E. Arctic! There was lots of room to gather, play games, eat meals and visit. The property was clean and well kept, and the accessibility to everything on Folly Beach was excellent. It's a pretty short drive into historic Charleston as well. Check-in time was late on our Sunday arrival date. On our arrival day, the time changed and we were asked to arrive at 4:00 pm rather than 6:00 pm. We were driving from a long distance and, at that point in the trip, couldn't arrive sooner. Even though we arrived within the 4:00-6:00 window, the rental office was closed and we had to pick up our keys from a "late arrival" box. There was no one available to answer any questions. But things were in order at the house and we were able to figure everything out. We appreciated being able to rent beach chairs and umbrellas for the week through the Rental Agent's partnership with VayK Gear. That was very convenient and saved us from bringing our own. Thanks Hannah! We loved your house!
