Treat Yourself to the Best Kept Beach Secret!

This was my first venture to Folly Beach and my experience was so positive that I plan to return over and over again. The property I rented was all that I could hope for - upscale, spotless, great location with walkable beach access. Our welcoming townhouse gave us a cozy, relaxed feeling - truly a home away from home! We appreciated the owners' attention to detail. All of our sleeping situations were very comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. I really felt right at home enjoying my TV shows and movies during my down time. We enjoyed the very convenient three bathrooms - no waiting for any of us at any time. The hot showers felt great when we returned from the beach.
Speaking of the beach, it was outstanding! We enjoyed both taking the short walk to the beach or driving a mile or so up the beach where we parked, paid a nominal parking fee at the nearby pay station and simply walked on to one of the most picturesque pristine beaches on the East Coast. What a find! Watching the very experienced surfers was an unexpected bonus. When we weren't at the beach, the kids loved being at the pool which was only a hop, skip and jump from our rental.
Folly Beach, what a delightful, well-cared for vacation town. We just loved the fact that we could easily walk everywhere. The restaurants were fun and terrific. You must try the Lost Dog for breakfast and be sure you don't miss the Ahi Tuna appetizer at Rita's...both were yummy! And, yes, the grocery stores a just a short ride away
Maybe the most exciting feature of renting this lovely beach property was the added bonus of having the historic city of Charleston, SC only a few short miles up the road! I suggest that you treat yourself to a horse and carriage tour of the city and don't miss the open market or the fantastic shrimp at nearby Bubba Gump's. Be sure to treat yourself to dinner at Magnolia's. And the gorgeous sunsets will take your breath away!
Our very convenient rental was a great home base to launch from while taking in some local adventures. Don't miss the chance to take a tour or two of the nearby plantations - very enjoyable and informative.
All and all, I don't think you can go wrong renting this property. It's the best of both worlds...a gorgeous beach and great restaurants at your fingertips and the fun of one of America's most beautiful cities all rolled into one. I strongly suggest that you, your family and friends rent this property. You won't regret it
