Santosha at Seascape Villa Steps from the Beach
Great place to stay.. especially if attending an event at the West Conference Center! It’s right across the street which was very convenient. Just steps away from the beach as well.

Chill Shack - Couples Favorite
Everything was very well appointed with an attention to detail. Enjoyed being only a three minute walk to the beach in an area that doesn’t get as crowded as the pier area. Being just a short walk to Bert’s and the many restaurants was very convenient. A pleasant stroll home after dinner did us good.

Perfect spot to enjoy all that Folly Beach offers!
Absolutely loved our stay. The walk to the beach is so quick and easy, as well as to center street. The house is so roomy and the bed is very comfortable, perfect for 2 people. Also, the house is located right next to Pirates Cove where there are public pickleball courts.

Folly Beach - 3 Blocks to Beach - Sleeps 6!
Clean space for our dogs and us to stay. Only a few blocks from the beach and all amenities such as an outdoor shower and kitchen supplies included.

Historic Old Mt Pleasant Hideaway
We stayed 3 nights at Jill’s place. The neighborhood was quiet and was wonderful for taking walks. We arrived at night but with the help of the instructions provided we were able to find the apartment. Inside the house we had everything we needed and loved such as luggage racks, great towels and linens, reliable Wi-Fi and ample bathroom counter space. We didn’t do a lot of cooking but the dishes and appliances worked for us. There’s a very tiny area in the back with a table and chairs and a bbq. We found the mattress a little too firm for us but that’s really a matter of preference. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Mt. Pleasant Charming Suite near Beach, Charleston
Alex and Karen were great hosts! They gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities! They were very helpful and responsive with anything we needed. The place was beautiful and very clean! We can’t wait to come back again!!

Sailors Rest: Pool & Sauna Johns Island SC Retreat
Great place to stay! We really enjoyed this place as well as the hosts. They were present, but nonintrusive. It was great to pray with Neil before we checked out. We highly recommend this stay!!

Two Sisters Folly, Unit B- Marshfront Duplex
Trina responded to the need at hand right away and found a solution quickly. She was helpful and understanding. It was very easy to reach her. Great communication! The location is great. Quick access to the beach without the premium price. There is a shower outside to rinse off the sand.
House rentals with beach access

Coastal 5-bed beach house w/ LSV, boat ramp, dock
We enjoyed the house and it was larger than the pictures capture. we liked the openness of the kitchen, dining and living space. Great outdoor spaces as well. Quick walk to the beach and to a back dock overlooking the marsh. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. All was as advertised. Everything was clean and worked well. Definitely a great option!

Cottage by the Sea
We had the most wonderful stay at this beachfront Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, our host was incredibly accommodating, making sure all our needs were met. The house was exactly what we were looking for – a relaxing, lowkey getaway for our family by the beach. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the sand, and the home itself was well-equipped for a peaceful weekend. It had everything we needed to unwind, from the cozy couch to the backyard for evening hangouts. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet beach retreat!

Luxury Beach Front Pet Friendly
We had a wonderful time at Elizabeth's place. The location, at the far side of the island near the Morris Island lighthouse, was so nice. You could could get away from some of the craziness of the main stretch of Folly but it was a quick drive to get to all the restaurants. The proximity to the beach was incredible, and our kids really enjoyed being able to go back and forth from the house to the beach. We also appreciated being able to bring our dog with us. One of our best beach trips ever.

Original Edisto Beach Cottage, Across from Beach
We had a great time at Sawyerbean! The house is a nice, older Edisto beach house and had everything we needed. It was right across the street from the beach and close to many shops and restaurants. Our relaxing vacation even included soft blankets and some waste bags for our French bulldog. She really loved being a beach babe!

Beach House- 0.4 Miles from the Ocean STR 0055
This home is located amongst the most beautiful homes and trees. The location is beautiful. The home was great. It definitely fit our needs. Highly recommend this home and Seabrook Island.

Sullivan's Island, SC, Beach House Rental
This home needs a little TLC. It's an older home w/a slight musty smell upon entering, my husband has severe allergies to mold & mildew, but he was unaffected, so it must not have been that bad. This home has some little quirks like the washer & dryer are outside in a garage (that area was very clean), the dishwasher is portable & needs to be hooked up to the sink & plugged in (we didn't use it since we mostly ate out) & you can't run the microwave & toaster oven at the same time. The box springs to the beds were old, but the mattresses were decent & comfortable. There is no theme as to the decor, which made it very interesting, with finding something different everyday. With all these little quirks, I am giving it a 5 Star due to the fact that it is a charming little home, was very clean, in a great neighborhood, has private parking, is very close to the beach & area attractions & Rachel was a very responsive host. We had a great time during our stay!

Turtle Shores-Cheery home 2 blocks from the beach!
Beautiful house with everything you need to make yourself at home. When you walk in the front door, it is very charming and inviting. It's a short, straight walk to a great beach. There is a 4 lane street to cross, but 95% of the time you can walk straight across without stopping. We had 8 adults staying in this lovely place and there was plenty of room and we shared a lot of great meals in the huge kitchen. If we are ever back in the area, this will be our "go to" house!

Coastal Charm on Seabrook- Close to Beach!
The house was Amazing ! Definitely a southern charmer . The beach is across the street and very close to the club that has pools and restaurant on the beach . This house includes the access cards which is a great value . The beds were very comfortable , upgraded appliances and beautiful decor . The front screened patio was amazing and we spent most of our time there . Great experience with all Seabrook staff and we would definitely rent again .
Condo rentals with beach access

Dunes West-beachside Port O'Call
This space was great! Short walk to the beach, pool access, and all the beauty of the Sea Islands. Mona was kind enough to arrange an early check in for us. The space itself was spotless. The bed was comfy, kitchen had some essentials provided which is always helpful in a vacation rental. We also really appreciated that there were beach chairs, towels and beach bags available since we flew so we couldn't bring our own beach equipment. Mona was super communicative and accessing the space was easy. Note: don't follow the Google Maps direction the first time you come in so you can get your pass at the Residential Gate to Wild Dunes. Mona wrote that in the instructions but I still got confused and went to the second Wild Dunes entrance, not the first.

The Best of Kiawah | Walk to Beach | Updated Condo
Great condo- close to the Sanctuary resort hotel- 10 min walk to the beach and recreation hub. Great spot for tennis…courts out side the condo. Condo was clean- good kitchen…worked great for our family of 3.

New! 3 bedroom condo, steps from beach. Oceanview
Great view of the beach, walking distance to all the restaurants. Great communication from the host. Highly recommend. The wood floors do have a sound as you walk on them, but didn’t really bother us.

Cozy condo w/easy beach access in Wild Dunes
We enjoyed our stay! Natalya communicated well and proactively. The condo was cute and well-maintained, and we appreciated the availability of a beach cart to help take our stuff over to the beach. We had everything we needed for several fun days at Isle of Palms!

★2BR Wyndham Condo on Golf Course 1/2m from Beach★
Dawns place was great. Very clean and, easy access and super comfy. Thanks Dawn. We very much enjoyed our time.

Oceanfront Villa-pool/pier, fishing, stunning view
Very nice place! Easy to walk to everything. Grocery store very close and multiple restaurants within a half mile to walk. Would recommend to anyone.

Sunrise Beach Retreat. Best Wild Dunes Ocean views
As a family we had a great time. the rooms were set up perfect for our needs. the kitchen was stocked well. acres to the beach was very good and the view was great. I would recommend to anyone it was worth the trip. Thanks.

Beach Front Ocean View 3 Bdrm Condominium
The view is as good if not better than advertised. Corner unit with wall to wall windows on two adjoining sides of the condo, on both levels. Slept to the sound of waves and woke up to sunrises over the beach. Kitchen is a little small, but that allows for more window space. Overall great stay. Wish it could have been one day longer.
