One of the Best Stays Ever

We all arrived after two days of snow and ice to a wonderful experience. The home had more than enough space for the entire family. The bedrooms were equipped with televisions in every room with streaming capabilities and the beds were very comfortable. The host stayed in constant contact and was able to answer each and every question promptly. We highly recommend this home and the host.

Great FRAMILY Vacation

In short - the location was just perfect, we could walk to everything. Plenty of parking space for 3 cars and a golf cart comfortably. The house has a perfect layout so you're not on top of each other. Having the pool on the main level was perfection - we've rented other homes that you had to walk down a sizeable flight of stairs to get to the pool area, and this was such a great perk! Kept everyone all together when it was time to socialize! Highly recommend, the concierge was amazing to deal with. Will definitely book here again.

Family Vacation

This property is awesome for an older family vacation. It is located right in the center of Folly Beach with easy access to the bars, restaurants, and beach. The property is beautiful and the pool was essential for the humidity during August. Our one gripe was the check in process. We asked for an early check in and it was not available. We totally understand that early check in is not always available. No email was sent to us during the day of the check in explaining the check in process and we didn’t actually receive any information until 4:30pm 1/2 hour past the normal check in. We feel the interaction with the property manager could have been better on the first day. All in all still a great find and would recommend

Great place for a big family!

Our family and children loved the house! Great location! Short (5 minute) walk to the beach, just a short 2 minute walk to downtown to local restaurants, shops and ice cream. The pool was the perfect size to hang out and let the kids play. Having a private pool at the house was a game changer with kids.

Folly Beach trip

A lovely beach house very close to the water and although it is near a lot of businesses and a couple of pubs - the house was insulated well and we slept very well. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room. Walking distance to everything !

Great house, so clean. Beds were comfy, I do wish they provided extra blankets, but overall great time here. The pool was small but honestly perfect to take a dip and cool off. No complaints! Vicinity to restaurants and little shops was awesome, perfect location. I would recommend

Perfect location whether it’s with family or friends

Great location with a surf town vibe. walking distance to everything. Restaurants, coffee shop, public beach, small grocery store, shops and more. No. Need for a car if you are staying local. House was clean just as seen in photos beautifully decorated with comfortable beds and tvs in every bedroom. Definitely will plan my next family vacation there even though I went with a group of friends. .

Really fun location

The house is darling. Loved the location being downtown; close to everything. Bedrooms huge. Awesome bathrooms. Great beds. Kitchen stocked nicely. Great alley straight to the beach in literally minutes. Probably the only thing I didn't love was the alley behind the pool that got some foot traffic at night. And the trash trucks are loud in the morning with all the beer cans from the bar next door.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this house. It was very spacious so everyone could find private space if they wanted it. It was also large enough to easily enjoy a family dinner or game time. Having the small pool right there was fantastic and being fenced in with 2 year olds was a relief.The kitchen was great and was well stocked with cooking equipment. We didn't need to buy anything to supplement. The bedrooms were lovely with very comfortable beds. We found the 2 bath tubs very slippery.Some felt there was a smell in the house. I did not smell it but it was felt it was from the restaurant's garbage next to us. Candles seemed to fix the issue.The location was perfect and parking was no problem. You could walk to the beach, pier, shops and restaurants. That said, the house is right in the middle of everything. I and others loved the ambiance of that while a couple others felt it was too busy. The live music from a restaurant one night was too loud for some while others enjoyed the free concert! It was the week of July 4th so it was louder & busier than normal. BONUS: The fireworks could easily be seen from the pool deck! Yay!!! The following Monday found the area much quieter.

Pool was a great addition. Close to dt and beach. If you want the pool heated you have to ask. There were only 6 forks and no tea kettle. So we bought one and left it. And we saw a few cockroaches. But that the south.

Our family stay at Retreats on Hudson – Driftwood this past weekend was perfect! We chose this Folly Beach property for its floor plans, price, and convenient location near restaurants. From the initial communication from the Luxury Simplified team through the check-out, we were able to comfortably relax in this well-appointed house. The location was amazing—just steps away from the beach and close to all the best local restaurants. The accommodation was first-rate, clean, and thoughtfully outfitted for comfort, privacy, and family. The amenities exceeded our expectations from an initial coffee stock to the well-equipped kitchen and the relaxing outdoor spaces. There was plenty of room indoors and outdoors for our group to gather, play card and board games, and enjoying meals and happy-hour together after a day on the run. We could not have asked for a better place to enjoy Folly Beach as a family, and we look forward to coming back. I highly recommend Retreats on Hudson – Driftwood property and the team from Luxury Simplified Retreats.
