Santosha at Seascape Villa Steps from the Beach
Daphne's place was perfect for what I needed at the last moment. It was clean and she responded very quickly to my questions. Thank you!

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!

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!

Palms Luxe Back- 1 Block from Beach on Center St
Listing exactly like pictures and Heather was super responsive and welcoming! We were able to check-in early and did not find the music from the bar underneath to be too loud. Highly 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!

Ocean view block from dwntwn
Great spot! Walking distance to everything. Market and liquor store next door is a plus. Chico Feo's was fun and cheap tacos! Short walk to the beach.

Irie on Erie A
Always a pleasure staying here! Home away from home for my family!

Mt. Pleasant Charming Suite near Beach, Charleston
Alex and Karen were wonderful hosts! Very responsive, kind, and knowledgeable about the area. They even provide a list of recommended restaurants in the area. Old village in Mount Pleasant is a great central place to stay. Close to beaches and also close to downtown Charleston. Would stay again!

Beautiful 2BD/2BA Seabrook Island Villa
Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful condo in Seabrook Island! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The unit was exactly as described—clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Lecian was a wonderful host—warm, responsive, and attentive. She promptly answered all our questions and made communication a breeze. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome gesture: a snack basket and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived—such a pleasant surprise! We had planned to grill one evening but noticed the gas tank was nearly empty. Lecian wasted no time and had a replacement tank delivered the very same day. She also graciously offered us a late checkout on our departure day, which was very much appreciated. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the Beach Club. We enjoyed taking the provided bicycles on a quick five-minute ride to the club to relax by the pool and dine at Pelicans Nest. Can't wait to return!

Heron House circa 1950 - steps to beach & town!
The house was perfect and the location is unbeatable. The whole house was clean and the hosts were easy to communicate with for check in and the checkout instructions were super clear.

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. 😁

Central Island Home
Safe neighborhood, very close to downtown Charleston, comfortable beds and a bonus for me Starbucks 0.4 miles near lol Would stay again and definitely recommend!

Steps to Dining, Shopping, 3 Minute Walk to Beach
We experienced an unexpected' water event during our stay(~6+ inches of rain. Water seeped ubder the patio door and Lise quickly sent help to remove the water and dry towels to replace the ones we used to sop up the water and quickly reimburse us for the sand bags we bought to stop the water flow. We have just one suggestion - add a mirror in front bedroom. We loved the yard. And patios. It was perfect for our reunion. In summery, GREAT PLACE AND LOCATION.

Three Little Birds! Porch + walk to the beach!
Great location. Exactly like pics. Easy walk to beach. Loved the screened in deck and back deck. Spacious dining area and living area.

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

Holly Suite 2Beds/1Bath Pets Welcome + Parking
Rob and Bri have excellent communication, checked in with us during our stay. We had no issues, but I’m sure if we had they would’ve been quickly addressed. Place was clean and exactly how it was described. Loved having the complementary coffee in the morning. Would definitely stay there again very comfortable ,.

Key Lime Condo
Jeffs place is a lovely cozy condo . Great for us, a couple, to stay in. It was very clean and has most everything we needed. Jeff is a very nice and responsive host . We were not expecting to be in such a public area but, we could walk to beach and that was great !

The Best of Kiawah | Walk to Beach | Updated Condo
Chandler was very helpful when we had something come up the day of our check-in. He was super helpful, quick to respond, and easy to communicate with. The unit was just as pictured, tastefully decorated, and super clean. His check-in instructions were very easy to follow and the welcome book inside the unit answered any questions we had during the stay. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening cocktails on the screened porch. Peaceful and relaxing, just what we were looking for. We would definitely stay here again!

Paradise at Folly - Beautiful Riverfront Condo
Two words: absolutely wonderful! Felt right at home the moment we walked in. It was exactly as pictured and described. Close to everything. 20 minutes from Charleston and 5 min drive to ocean. Beautiful water views from porch. Also enjoyed time at the pool. Fully stocked kitchen. We will be returning 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

**Newly Renovated** Oceanfront Villa
Such a great spot, perfect for our babymoon getaway! Absolutely beautiful location, the beach is quite literally right in your backyard. Extremely quiet, private, and peaceful area. Very easy walk (0.3 ish miles) to coffee/breakfast in the morning at The Nest. We enjoyed the Ocean Room and Hege’s both for fantastic dinners. Freshfields shopping is also an easy drive for shops, groceries, and lunch spots. Ron was a wonderful host - we’d love to return!

Kiawah Island Villa Captain’s Quarters
Can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was at Captain's Quarters! Barbie instantly makes you feel welcome - from the detailed instructions on finding the villa, restaurant recommendations, quick responses on anything and everything to the clean and comfortable accommodations in the villa! The location of the villa is amazing! So quiet and private with quick beach access. We loved the outdoor sunroom area which overlooks the pond - the nature sounds and wildlife views were spectacular! The beach here is pristine too and was never busy, we felt like we had it all to ourselves! Overall 10/10!! We would definitely visit again!

Folly LOVE ❤️
Oscar was always responsive. Clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Location is handy- right off main road into Folly beach.

Upper Level Villa; Bright & Modern - Beach/Pools
It was clean and we liked the house and the island, the pool and beach were great too. Be sure to order your amenity card at least two weeks before check in if you would like to swim or use other amenities the first day you check in, otherwise you may not be able to get the amenity card right away.
