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.

Perfect spot to enjoy all that Folly Beach offers!
Loved the house and location. We were just far enough from downtown that we couldn’t hear the live music but close enough that it was easily walkable. We also liked being next to the pickleball court. Overall great place and easy access to Charleston for a couple day trips. Would definitely recommend!

Historic Old Mt Pleasant Hideaway
My sister, our friend and I stayed at Jills air bnb for four days! Our stay was everything we wanted and more! First, Jills responsiveness and flexibility was 10/10! We had an early flight into Charleston and a late flight out. Jill was flexible and responsive when we inquired about an early/late check in/out. Second, the air bnb was adorable! We had our own private entrance and the bathroom was a perfect space to get ready in with your friends! There was plenty of space in the air bnb but we did not feel overwhelmed! Third, Jill herself was a kind and personable host! We also had the pleasure of meeting her son, who was just as kind! Jill and her family were very welcoming and provided us with recommendations for local activities. We would stay with Jill again in a heartbeat!

Gorgeous Hilton Head Beach Condo
Great stay! Christian had everything needed for a perfect beach vacation. Christian was great at communicating. The Airbnb was spacious and clean. I will be staying at his Airbnb in the future!

Sailors Rest: Pool & Sauna Johns Island SC Retreat
I loved everything about this beautiful property, they have everything that you need , it’s very kid friendly, looks just like the pictures and I love that this house is rooted in God !

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.

Tiny Shack - Couples retreat
We came for a wedding and had a lovely stay. The interior was nicely decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Perfect for the two of us and we really appreciated the beach chairs. Would highly recommend it! Hope to visit again one day!

Steps from the beach - 1 bedroom - Folly Beach
Matt's place was spotless and thoughtfully designed—ideal for beachgoers. The highlight was its unbeatable location: just one block from the public beach entrance, complete with a rinse station to wash off the sand. This made beach days so much easier and more enjoyable. If you're looking for a clean, stylish, and convenient beach retreat, this place is a top choice.

Marshfront Villa In The Trees - Near Beach & Bay
Wonderful stay on Edisto island. Beautiful house in a peaceful setting. We really liked the quiet area the house was in. We enjoyed time on the screened porch. All the bedrooms were nice and comfortable. Would recommend this house for a restful stay at Edisto!

Little Boho Beach House ( Oceanfront Rental)
We enjoyed our stay for several nights! Can't beat the location & scenery! The inside is just like the photos. The King bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. Short walk out to the beach/ocean. We really enjoyed sitting on the screened porch. We enjoyed eating at the Seacow & Crust pizza place. Crissy is a great host! We will return.

Hugging Tree Sea Cottage!
Do not hesitate to stay at Hugging Tree Cottage - our entire experience from first booking to check out was seamless. I cannot say enough about our host, Kim. She was proactive in reaching out to us to see if we needed anything or had questions and was incredibly responsive and kind when we contacted her. The house is perfection, so so so clean, beautifully decorated, VERY comfortable beds, fabulous and cozy couch, and the golf cart option was amazing. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need and the location of the house was so easy to the pool, beach, Freshfields, etc. We were 3 moms and 4 teen girls and it was perfect for our group. We are so grateful to our amazing hosts for an unforgettable long weekend. Thank you! Can’t wait to come again.

Luxury pool, incredible porch, 3/2center of Folly!
We had the most incredible time staying at Corrie’s place in Folly Beach for our moms getaway girls trip! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach, fun bars and restaurants, and a super cool 24/7 market. The house itself is a dream—spacious, luxurious, and designed with the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor lounge areas to relax and connect. The hot tub and pool were absolutely next level. Corrie was a fantastic host, and everything was seamless from start to finish. If you’re considering booking—stop looking and just do it!!!! We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Blackbeard’s Captains Quarters
We had a fantastic stay at "Blackbeard's Captains Quarters" in Folly Beach. This cozy one-bedroom was just right for our small family, including our toddler. The location is perfect: a quick five-minute walk to the beach via the public access trail. The house was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and coffee bar. The king-size bed in the bedroom was super comfortable, and the fold-out bed was great, too. The neighborhood block is quiet, and we loved the fun backyard space. Parking was a non-issue (you can park in front or back of the property). The outdoor shower was nice (right next to the entry door), and the public laundry room had plenty of beach chairs for our use. Our host, David, was exceptional—proactive, communicative, and provided clear check-in/check-out instructions. This place is a gem for small families or anyone seeking a compact, comfortable stay. Highly recommend! Five stars!

Serene Treehouse Hideaway - Private Beach
Stayed here for a weekend to celebrate a family birthday and had an absolutely wonderful time! The house's location is peaceful and private and the sunrises every morning were sublime. Would absolutely stay again!

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.

Red Sunsets | Ocean Breezes | Luxury Furnishings
The house was fantastic! Jessie and Robin were excellent hosts. They were very informative and responsive. The house was exactly what it was made out to be in the listing and the pictures. It fit our group comfortably and was equipped with everything as advertised. 10/10 would love to stay in this gem of a house again.

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!

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!

Little Oak Love | 5 Minutes to Folly | Marsh Views
Stunning views from an open deck and a super comfy screened deck. Quiet serene atmosphere. Great kitchen amenities. Would definitely like to return.

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

The Lombard at The Dellawisp | 1 Block to Beach
This was a fantastic stay in Folly Beach for a week! The Airbnb was in pristine condition with a cozy home feeling. There was a public beach walk path right across the street and only took a couple minutes to get on the beach. There was plenty of shopping and restaurants to visit in Folly. It was a convenient walk about a half-mile from the Airbnb. Other times, we traveled to downtown Charleston for great restaurants, shopping, and sight seeing. Everything was within a short drive of about 20-30 minutes. It was nice to have a location right at the beach so traffic was not an issue. Overall, we were very impressed with our stay and the Host was super helpful. Would recommend any day!

Relax and Unwind in a Stylish Beachfront Villa
Jennifer and Chase were quick to respond to any hiccups that we encountered. The location of the condo was perfect for what we were there for. It was easy to access the beach and a very close walk to the pool. The condo was well stocked with basic essentials, and the decorations were aesthetically pleasing. Parking was plentiful and the overall area felt safe. We loved walking to the ice cream shop and having dole whip. The Acme restaurant was also an easy walk from the condo and I would recommend trying it. There’s a grocery store within a 4 minute drive and the location is close enough to do a nice day trip in Charleston. The coffee shop down the street from the condo wasn’t my cup of tea, but they were friendly and if you just need a quick pick me up it’ll do the trick. Overall, we enjoyed our trip and would come back the Sea Cabins.

Ocean front on Isle of Palms
Tracey’s place was spotless and had a great view of the ocean. It was our first time visiting the area and Tracey was quick to respond with recommendations for dinner and things to do. We were very happy with our accommodations.
