Wonderful week
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.

Good but has so much potential to be great
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.

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.

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.

Great trip!
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.

Family and fun on Folly
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!

Not as it seems
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.

weekend get a way
The home was in really bad shape. Deck was in horrible condition, showers had mold in them, all cabinetry needed to be replaced or at minimum painted. Sleeping pillows are all stained. the two sofa pillows looked to be as old as the house with rips in them. Dining room sliding door would come off track. Kitchen pots and pans are all old and in bad shape. I would not recomend this home.

Great experience on the beach!
Excellent location with nice private access directly to the beach! House was nice, but needed some minor repairs (parking under the house had a few spots with overhead damage where the ceiling was falling through with insulation hanging down). The screened in back deck was very nice for having coffee in the morning and relaxing during the evening, but some of the screens were loose and the patio door was missing the screen entirely so mosquitos were unfortunately hanging around. Handle was missing on the outside of the main sliding glass door to the patio but we were able to tie a string to an exposed bolt a a makeshift handle for the week. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely rent this place again in the future!

Great now, but on the brink of collapse
This property was perfect for my family's first trip to the beach! An amazing view and access to a minimally populated beach. The house was very spacious and had all the needed amenities. With that being said, there were a lot of little things that if not remedied, could cause this property to fall into a less than desirable place to stay: the shower curtains had mold beginning on the bottom. The knob protector behind the front door just fell to the floor when the door touched it. The handle on one of the sliding back doors fell off. The deck had multiple treads that need to be replaced, the screen on the back porch needed to be replaced in several places. The stairwell/door that came up the middle from the parking area, had bird nests and was covered with bird poop. Overall, the minimal issues did not put much of a damper on our great stay at Turtle Watch II. I would be hesitant to pay the price that we did to stay here in the future, without some TLC given to the property.

Great location and house
This was our first trip to folly and we really enjoyed it. The beach was not crowded and the house is right there on beach. It was nice being so close to Charleston so we could go in for the day. There are 2 good playgrounds on the island which my kids enjoyed. Only downside to location was that there are no sidewalks in area near house so can’t safely walk with the kiddos and at high tide there is very little beach. Fortunately for us we were rarely on beach at high tide due to timing. I was impressed with how clean the house was on our arrival and the management company checked in on us several times via text which I appreciated. We only had one minor repair issue which was repaired by the next day. We had 3 adults and 4 kids (6,3,3,1). The house fit us well. Only issues is there were only 6 chairs at table so we had to bring in plastic chairs from porch to eat together as family. This left us with just a few Adirondack chairs on porch. There were only 2 chairs to use at porch table and we needed those inside. More chairs would be appreciated. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and plates/cups. The stove is gas with a griddle which was great. Could use some plastic cups for kiddos. All were glass. There was also only 1 small sheet pan. As with most beach houses there was a lack of cleaning supplies. As careful as you may be it’s impossible to not track in sand. A vacuum and some basic cleaning supplies would be good so you can clean during the week. A broom just isn’t adequate. The house is mildly dated but comfortable and clean on our arrival. The pickets on front steps could use some repairs as few were not well attached. We really enjoyed our time and are considering coming back again to folly and probably even to the same house.

Peace on Earth
Our family booked Turtle Watch II to celebrate our daughter's graduation from MUSC. It was the perfect, peaceful location for our family to reconnect and relax. The beaches are beautiful and not crowded. Watching the pelicans and other birds was delightful. Even an evening of rain was soothing as we watched the waves from the safety of the screened in porch. Thank you for a memorable long weekend.

Perfect beach getaway
This property was just as listed and exactly what we needed for a quick weekend trip. The space was very roomy and the views were beautiful. We did not get to enjoy the beach much due to the cold weather but it was still lovely getting to wake up to the water and most beautiful sunrises. The beds were comfy and rooms were spacious. We would definitely book again!
