The Charleston Ocean Front Villas

We stayed in unit 112 and the owner was great. The unit is beautiful inside. We had a problem with the a/​c unit and the owner’s son stopped by several times to take care of it. They allowed us to stay an extra day at no charge. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone coming to Folly Beach.

The good:
This place has an awesome location! Walking distance to their small downtown and pier. The 3 bedroom condos are spacious for big groups and families. Washer and dryer included, a big benefit if you have little kids. It’s nice that the kitchen was stocked with cookware and dishware.
The bad:
A big problem was general maintenance. It seems that the owners or property management company didn’t care enough for the upkeep.
First thing I wanted to mention is the ugly brown carpet. Severely ugly and severely needs to be replaced! The fridge had a broken drawer. The dishwasher was unhinged and falling out when its door was opened too wide. The lamps had missing or dead bulbs. The balcony chairs were broken. The cushions were so used and flat, it might as well have been there none at all. The blinds had missing slats.
The ugly:
The power went out during the Hurricane Irene weather craziness. Between the outside humidity and having no AC inside, it was unbearable! Had to leave early otherwise I would be in the dark doing nothing. The even worst part is the emergency stair way lights were dead after a few hours! A few other guests had to prop all the doors so the stairs could be used safely. The elevators was definitely not an option.
To summarize, if the power outage hadn’t happen, I would have stayed. The beach/​pool were so much fun that I can overlook the condo deficiencies.
Here’s to next year!
