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!

Priceless Ocean View, King Bed, Heated Pool
We had a very enjoyable stay during our week in Hilton head. The location provided lots of opportunity to enjoy the beach the pool and plenty of walking. All of the restaurants were very good in terms of food and atmosphere.

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!

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
Rich was great! He made the stay easy and enjoyable. He even provided a couple of bikes to get around with. We could ride around the neighborhood, to Shem Creek, and we even went downtown for a day. Whatever our day included, there was a great place to come back to and relax.

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.

White Sands Luxury Oceanfront Deck Open Concept
This property is worth every dollar spent. Our family vacation here will always stay secure in our memories as one of our best experiences. The peaceful and relaxing atmosphere enhanced our time together and we all felt thankful to share the moments here. Truly a first- class property and experience that we will consider renting again in the future.

Intracoastal water view luxurious family retreat
Melissa’s place was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. We loved hanging out in her home. All 3 bedrooms were beautiful with beautiful views and beautiful bathrooms. We enjoyed her spacious kitchen and screened in porch looking at the sunset and water view. Her home was very conveniently located and walking distance to downtown IOP near grocery store, coffee shop, restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

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!
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.

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!

My Blue Heaven, Celebrate Your Special Occasion
The views were fantastic! The unit was very nice. Everything needed was close at hand. The owners were very thoughtful and intentional with the decor, furniture, and extras that made us feel comfortable and like we were at home. The resort is very secure and we felt safe.

HHBT Resort-OceanView-Remodeled-Steps to beach/bar
Condo was very clean and updated! Great location! Maria was great to work with and replied back immediately! Very accommodating. Had everything we needed and more! We highly recommend it to others!

Oceanfront | Pool | Coligny Beach/Plaza | Breakers
We had a fantastic time in this lovely condo! The view was amazing to wake up to every morning. The decor and furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. The personal touches -- breakfast, snacks, coffee, mimosas -- were very thoughtful and appreciated! The beach gear (towels, umbrella, chairs, cooler) was especially helpful since we flew in and did not bring any of our own. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had. This was our first visit to HHI and we loved every minute of it. We would highly recommend this space and these hosts to anyone visiting HHI and would absolutely book again if we plan another trip here!

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.

Oceanfront Luxury! KING BED 75"TV Pickleball | BAR
Great cozy spot with ocean views and easy access to beach and pool! Perfect for a family of 3.
