#4203 Renovated/1BR/2BA/Direct Ocean Views/Sofa Bd
We highly recommend this Airbnb hosted by Keith! Cannot say one negative thing ! Keith was responsive within minutes, so helpful. Condo had EVERYTHING we could possibly need or want. Great location, so peaceful, close to beach. Would DEFINITELY stay again!

Oceanview Sea Cabin 318B- Isle of Palms, SC!
We loved everything about this place! The view was spectacular and the location is great for beach and restaurant access. Definitely would stay again!

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!

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 Richard's place - it was exactly what we were looking for for our quick visit into town for a wedding. The place was clean and beautiful. Richard and Terri were so kind to leave us a welcome basket with lots of little goodies and to reach out to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for a great visit!

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.

The Folly Feeling / 1 Block to Beach
You step out onto the balcony and find yourself in the heart of Folly Beach business district. Anything you need is within short walking distance. Surprisingly though, the back bedroom where you’ll be sleeping is quiet & the bed is comfortable so you’ll be sure to get a great night’s sleep after a full day of exploring FB. The unit itself is small but well equipped with anything you might need — including a full kitchen. Would 100% stay here again.

Water life “Aquavida”
I lived in Charleston for five years and staying here was the best “welcome home”. From the moment we booked, Brianna was helpful, communicative, and pleasant. Check-in was easy and the place was gorgeous and exactly as described. We even said that “this was the first time that an Airbnb felt like home” and we meant it. Ample entertainment (dvd, Roku tvs, speaker), stunning view, perfect location, and SO many beach chairs, umbrellas, floats, kids games, buckets etc. We hope to visit again and bring our whole family! Modern fixtures and appliances that were easy to use. If I ever need an Airbnb in Charleston again, I will definitely be staying here if it’s available. My only drawback was that it was really warm in the home when we arrived but it cooled down by the time we returned from dinner. Other than that, no complaints! I definitely recommend staying here.
Waterfront house rentals

Great "Newly" Listed Villa with Stunning Kitchen
Had a wonderful stay with my wife, son and his wife and their two young children. Brenda was great at communicating and responsive to questions/concerns. Loved the location and easy access to a pool and kayak launch. We had an amazing experience seeing dolphins on our kayaking adventure. Loved having the bikes to cruise around the island. Hope to return someday.

The Hampton House
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hampton House! The house was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Location on the water can not be beat. All the beach toys and kayaks were a bonus. Derrick was super responsive and helpful. We would definitely come back. Highly recommend.

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
The condition of the house and the floor layout met the needs of our family of 11 staying at this location. The items that were available for our beach stay were fabulous, including bicycles, golf cart, pool floaties, games, ping pong table, shuffleboard table, etc. The close walk to the beach was very nice. We especially enjoyed the personal interaction that we received from Christy and Nick, as opposed to an impersonal management company with no "skin in the game". We plan to return to this same location next year for our family annual beach vacation.

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

Quiet Beach, Dog Paradise, Breathtaking Views, 4bd/3bath
Had a great stay at the March House! Plenty of room for our whole family and made for such an easy trip with the beach across the street. Would definitely return

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!
My husband and I stayed here for our 10 year anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The house was close to Folly Beach as well as downtown Charleston. The house looks exactly as pictured and was very clean. Erin and Zack were responsive and made it clear that they were available for questions at any time. We would love to visit Charleston again and would definitely stay at Erin and Zack’s place again!
Waterfront condo rentals

Beach condo with pool and stunning nature views
This was definitely a top 10 vacation! The area and beach exceeded my expectations. Everything is so beautiful and peaceful. Not over crowded and quiet. We enjoyed riding our bikes to local shops and restaurants, and spending others days reading on the beach. Will definitely book here again!

On the Beach-End Unit! Enjoy Dolphins & Sunsets!
Amazing is the best word to describe John’s condo. Check-in was a breeze with clear instructions. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a beach vacation. There were tons of pots and pans in the kitchen and lots of beach supplies on the deck. Th location and access to the beach cannot be beat! Communication with John was excellent. I am already planning a return trip to the condo.

Ocean Overlook - The Ultimate Vacation Experience
What a stunning little place to spend a few days on the island before heading to Savannah for our daughter's graduation from SCAD! Lovely family oriented beach that's less crowded than others, esp over Memorial Day. We found the condo to be quiet and private, yet easy to get to "the action" if you prefer. Bed was oh so comfortable and the 2 extra large wall mounted TV's were awesome! Chad is generous to provide free streaming services - Netflix, Hulu, & more! Chad is a stellar host- super responsive and genuinely wants your stay to be top notch- ours certainly was and we hope to return again to The Ocean Overlook!

Newly renovated Oceanfront Condo ~ Isle of Palms
We loved our stay at IOP and would gladly come back! Great location and just enough space for my husband and I!

HHBT Resort-OceanView-Remodeled-Steps to beach/bar
Nice place right on the beach, place is clearly renovated and thoroughly cleaned. Everything you’d expect to have at home can be found in the apartment. Despite arriving at 3am, we had no issue passing through the gate and helped ourselves in the unit. Highly recommend and overall a very welcoming experience.

Oceanfront Luxury! KING BED 65"TVs Pickleball BAR!
Wow! The condo is spotless! Although the condo is small, there was a lot of thought put into the design—lots of drawers, closet space and hooks to hang items on! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the space! We will definitely return!

Little Oak Love | 5 Minutes to Folly | Marsh Views
Great location! Comfortable accommodations! We really enjoyed our stay. Loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the marsh views.

Stylish Ocean Front Sanctuary
We loved staying at Hiroko’s BnB! She was super responsive the entire time we were there. Great room and location. Comprehensive manual before we arrived so we knew exactly what to expect. Everything was fantastic.
