This property was an excellent choice for us. It was close to the beach, as well as local restaurants and shops. We visited Charleston during the day for some sightseeing and culture but looked forward to returning to a Cool Place to take part in what it had to offer. We cooked during our stay and it had everything and more that we needed. There were card games, board games, and books...nice size tv's to watch, and a huge deck to hang out on. The property was clean and we really enjoyed it. We would definitely stay again.
Amazing beach front home. Great views of the beach right out side the door. The decks we spent most of the time when not on the beach. Very relaxing.

Sweet Spot
Once we got electricity on the 2nd day everything was perfect as we expected. We hadn't expected to have a community power outage when we arrived and stayed in a hotel for the first night. The owner nicely refunded our hotel expense. Right on the beach with beautiful sunshine.
This property presents very well and is easy to live in. It's not close to town and is quiet and calm (we were here in early April). It's very well placed to walk to and visit the Morris Island Lighthouse and its park. We had a couple of minor issues which were handled quickly by the nicest fixer-man.
I definitely would stay here again!

Family spring break
We are regular Folly-goers and love the property location. It is so convenient and on the quieter end of the beach. The house was not entirely as pictured. There was no outdoor lounge furniture as pictured. The outdoor dining table was broken, but there were three plastic chairs around it. Cleanliness wise, there was mold and slime under the sink and mold in the air vents. The house could use a refresh. The location and proximity to the beach was definitely the best part.
The location was superb, right on the beach. Loved the house but it was very tired looking. Needed some work done. Was disappointed because there was no furniture on the deck so you could set on the deck and enjoy the view. Was saddened because we couldn’t stay our whole time due to tropical storm Helene.
Pretty standard, basic beach house that is a great value compared to many of the huge, overpriced houses popping up. Good location right on the beach. The public beach access made the beach busier than our normal trips, but we never had an issue with anyone. Had some minor issues with an overflow of trash from the people before us and a malfunctioning microwave, but the property manager addressed both within 2 hours of us notifying them. We visit Folly every summer and would definitely consider staying here again.

We made the best of jt
This property is in a great location. If you are looking for a fancy, updated beach house this is not for you. The fridge was broken and we were told we would receive a mini fridge but unfortunately we did not. Hundreds of dollars of food was spoiled because we did not realize it was broken until it was too late. This place has A LOT of potential if all of the amenities are working properly.
This house was the perfect size for our family of 6. We loved being right on the beach. The house was clean. The living room furniture was comfy and there was plenty of room to all eat at the table. Loved having the keurig!! The mattresses were not very comfortable. The deck only had 3 regular chairs, nothing for lounging. The deck was rough and had nails sticking up. It also felt like you might fall through in spots. Some boards need replacing for sure. It would have been nice to have extra blankets. The dryer squeals terribly. Overall, it worked for the week and we enjoyed ourselvesourselves very much.
Our family of 6 just stayed 4 days/3 nights.
First off, the location is 100% with booking again…that being said, there are things that need updating.
If you are looking for a 5 star rental…this isn’t your place. If you are looking for a spacious family friendly older house in a GREAT location…this place is for you.
I read other reviews & agree that we did see bugs in the bathroom every night. The welcome book addresses this & gives you a number to call to have some exterminators come by but we were on the move too much to wait for someone. The bugs were my biggest complaint.
I only ever saw them in the bathroom. The fridge worked great, the AC worked great & the back porch and walkway to the beach were in good enough condition that we didn’t wear shoes or have any problems accessing the beach. The air vents were gross looking, and there was stuff under the beds left by past guests but over all the house was clean.
The house does sway a bit but nothing crazy. If this place had a facelift, it could be great. My second biggest complaint is the outdoor furniture. There were only a few chairs and they were just plastic ones. The wood table is falling apart but worked for setting drinks on. The doorknob to the door that takes you to the carport needs to be replaced…we fought with it more than I care to admit.
Overall, we would stay here again…can’t beat the space & beach access….period.
Overall the home was clean appliances were all in working order. The home has an amazing sunrise and views. It’s is definitely “ocean front” however the beach only exists when the tide is out. There is a screened in porch however the only portion of the porch that seems safe the rest is badly splintered from the weather. The lights on the porch do not function they are literally hanging by the wires. The walkout portion of the deck to the beach is boarded off which makes it dangerous getting to the beach with the dunes and rocks. The inside is spacious however the fireplace is not operable. The fan in the living area works however the lights on it do not. There are multiple outlets throughout the home that do not have covers at all. The kitchen appliances work however there are not enough forks to feed our family of 8 that was there, very inconvenient. The toilet in one bathroom is practically on the floor, good for kids but not older people. The beds need to be replaced they all seem to have “holes” in the middle. None of the lamps in one bedroom had any lightbulbs. The bathrooms need some deep cleaning as the knobs are black with mold.
Thankfully we only stayed 2 nights the views of the sunrise are to die for but the home itself definitely needs work. I am sure I missed something else there was so much that disappointed. We will not being staying here again. The cost to vacation is too high to spend your money on somewhere that does not meet basic expectations.
The house is in a great location, however it does need some updating inside, bathrooms especially and the air vents looked like they had black mold. Overall a good option price wise but felt a bit uncomfortable with how outdated some of the rooms are.
The best part was the sunrise, and direct access to the beach. Yes, there are nice chairs out on the deck and happened to be beach chairs to use stored inside the screened in patio. Beds were comfortable. Tons of clean white towels. The couches are now leather like which is cleaner than fabric. There are some things that need tending to, like the dirty doors near the door handles and maybe some bleach around the toilet because it smelled just a little. Overall pretty clean. Very roomy. My one suggestion would be to put solar lights next to the steps. When you turn off the parking area lights, you can’t see walking to or up the steps. Nice quiet relaxing location. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great family vacation at Turtle Watch II. Loved the location. This house has everything needed for a good time. Our family talked about it at the end of the trip and noted that we had stayed in “fancier” houses over the years but this was our favorite house we could remember.
