Oceanview Sea Cabin 318B- Isle of Palms, SC!
Place was clean and nice. Location was fantastic. Lots of food and drink in walking distance. Beach was never crowded because the public could not get in through the Sea Cabins entrance.

Priceless Ocean View, King Bed, Heated Pool
This is our second time staying here and we love it! It is perfect for a family of three (2 adults & 1 toddler). It is in a great location with lots to do in walking distance. Thanks for allowing others to enjoy your beautiful home.

Waterfront Private Hot Tub Fire Pit Dock Fishing A
What a beautiful location! Some of the most stunning sunsets I've ever seen! Great grocery store conveniently located close by! Close to restaurants and shopping!

Oceanfront Villa with pool
Halle’s place was absolutely spectacular! We’ve done several stays at Coligny Beach but this takes top spot. Host was very responsive, although didn’t have a need to reach out because they’ve thought of everything!! Unobstructed views of the ocean and extremely convenient location. Just park and walk to everything. Will come back!!

Jim's Stunning Direct Ocean Front 2BR Villa
Enjoyed our time there.

The Folly River Flat at Folly Beach NOW WITH DOCK!
We had a wonderful stay! Great location, just minutes from the beach with a beautiful view from the balcony area. Extremely clean! Would recommend!

Bayview's Secret
We loved our time at Bayview's Secret. Richard and his wife were awesome hosts and the place was clean, stylish and cozy. The location was perfect for attending my daughter’s graduation from submarine school on the Yorktown nearby, and we were close to several other great shops and restaurants. Richard and his wife were incredibly welcoming and hospitable and generously accommodated us in many ways. They even made sure we had some champagne to celebrate our special occasion. We hope to be back again in the future and would definitely recommend Bayview's Secret to anyone visiting the area.

Two Sisters Folly, Unit B- Marshfront Duplex
The location is great, with a beach access right in front of the house. Downtown is a short drive away but you can also walk, which removes the need to park. The place is old but functional.
Waterfront house rentals

Salt and Sol. Ocean Breezes in a Chic Home.
We enjoyed this Airbnb a lot! Lovely views back and front and the beach is maybe 3 minutes walk (look for the public access sign to the left, about three houses down). Great shower! Lovely kitchen! Comfy sofas! If we ever come back to folly beach, we would love to stay again. For the mobility challenged, it is only 12 steps to front door, unlike a lot of neighboring houses, which are on stilts and have 25+ steps. 😁

Great "Newly" Listed Villa with Stunning Kitchen
We’ve been coming to Seabrook for years and Brenda’s place was one of our top stays. Check-in was seamless, the kitchen was stocked with all of the cooking essentials, and the views off the master bedroom are unbeatable! We had a family beach photo shoot planned which was rained out one night and quickly rescheduled to early the next morning; Brenda was beyond responsive in getting the guest pass switched over to the next day and offered a great suggestion for something during our, now free, rainy evening. We’ll be back for sure and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here to anyone else.

The Hampton House
This is a nice house with a lot of really great perks. The golf cart, kayaks, fishing rods, beach equipment, and more made it easy to enjoy the week. The location is peaceful and ideal for fishing but not perfect for swimming or waves; we went to adjacent Hunting Island State Park for the kids to ride waves (a state park pass is included by the host). We enjoyed our week!

Best views on Folly!
Joe & Claire were great hosts, very personable. Stayed 5 nites in late April/early May. Beautiful location: decks on all levels/sides, sweeping views of marsh in back, high up views of ocean across street in front. Many perfect spots to sit depending on sun & wind. Great views of sunrise & sunset, lighthouse, etc. Furnishings comfortably accommodated gatherings for our family of 5 adults, tastefully decorated too. Kitchen well equipped, beach chairs/towels provided. Besides food/drink/personal items, can’t think of anything we wanted that wasn’t already there. We experienced one significant house utility issue that disrupted our stay, outside anyone’s control. Joe had it repaired and equitably resolved the impact to us. Location next best thing to beachfront, beach access just 100yd down road. Peacefully removed from busy central Folly Beach town area and just 5min ride to many casual restaurant/entertainment options there. Also easy 30min trip to Charleston for exploring and dinner.

Gorgeous home one block from beach w/ heated pool
It’s a beautiful, well appointed, clean and tastefully decorated home. The home is spacious with a great floor plan. We were 3 families. 6 adults and 5 children. The kids loved the pool. There were numerous pool toys to keep them entertained. The kitchen is a cook’s dream. Everything ( except a coffee grinder) was available. The long kitchen table easily accommodates 12. We enjoyed the porches. There are 3 but we did not use top balcony. ( that is where the fire pit is ) There are lots of steps, but the convenience of the elevator was wonderful. It was a great location as well. We had a lovely time.

Luxury Beach Front Pet Friendly
Beautiful home, we would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Spectacular Oceanview Home with Hot Tub - Private!
What an absolutely wonderful place! Beautifully decorated, amazing little touches, right across from the beach, peaceful, great parking — a perfect spot for Folly Beach and Charleston exploration. Highly recommend!

Waterfront Home Near Downtown!
This place was very clean and well decorated. We felt right at home the whole time! The upkeep of the property is immaculate as well! It was a 10-15 minute drive from Charleston and the beaches, which was perfect when having a toddler that needs to get back for a nap at any point in the day. We would recommend this place to any family visiting Charleston!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Beach condo with pool and stunning nature views
Loved our stay here. Condo very clean and comfortable, especially beds. Very communicative hosts Thank you for letting us stay

On the Beach-End Unit! Enjoy Dolphins & Sunsets!
Pelican Watch is a beautiful place on Seabrook. The beach is a 2 minute walk from the backdoor with a great view from the back porch. You need a car to get to most restaurants but great places are 10-20 minutes away. Harris Teeter is well stocked nearby with great steaks and seafood as well as wine. I’d definitely stay here again.

HHBT Resort-OceanView-Remodeled-Steps to beach/bar
I’ve stayed at this resort multiple times but this room is by far the best! It was clean, had every thing we needed & more, and was a perfect location for a wagon haul to the beach. It was impressively stocked with things you may forget. We had a wonderful stay & will be staying in this room again for our next stay. Thank you!

Oceanfront Luxury! KING BED 65"TVs Pickleball BAR!
Condo was super easy to get to on the first floor and definitely oceanfront. Although we were on the first floor, we could still see 98% of the ocean over the dunes and easily hear the waves crashing from the balcony. We got to see a family of rabbits hopping through the dune grasses and 99.9% of the time no one is seen between our balcony and the ocean… giving the feeling of seclusion in a populated area. Everything worked as it should in every room in the condo… fantastic TVs, extremely good shower heads, sturdy beach chairs, stout beach umbrella w/ anchor, comfortable plush leather sofa, and a very comfy form fitting memory foam king bed with plenty of pillows for even the finicky sleeper. 99% of my kitchen needs were met…i’ll remember the cooking spray next time. The plush white sand was a pleasant surprise as well as how level and firm the sand gets when the tide goes out, great for bocce ball! BTW, just about any kind of tent, wind shade or popup is allowed on the beach.

OceanView Luxury! KING BED 65"TV Bar Pickleball Gym
The beach chairs and coolers were great to have for a weekend getaway! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Oceanfront Luxury! KING BED 75"TV Pickleball | BAR
Mike is the best host, quick to respond and eager to accommodate. When we asked a question on the app, he always responded immediately. The place was very clean and exactly as advertised. Looking forward to booking with him again!

Stylish Ocean Front Sanctuary
Everything was awesome. The only negative was we didn’t end up getting check-in access until about 5pm the first day, but we did get an hour later checkout. Would stay again for sure

1 minute walk to the beach!
My friend and I had a wonderful time staying here! The beach is right nearby, and the location is close to so many walkable spots, which made everything super convenient. Eric was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing clear directions for check-in and check-out, and even checked in to see if we needed any local recommendations. We were pleasantly surprised to have a partial ocean view, even though the condo is on the end—such a sweet bonus! The place was well stocked with kitchen utensils, bathroom essentials, beach gear, and even had a peaceful balcony perfect for relaxing. Eric also left out snacks and refreshments, which really shows the thoughtfulness and care he puts into hosting. Highly recommend!
