Comfortable and perfectly located property

This home is right on the water. The walk to the beach is just a short deck extension off the back and the surf was ideal being so close to The Washout. The home itself was extremely comfortable. The living room area is relatively small, but the screened-in deck adds nice additional hang out room and having a whole hall along the back with three separate bedrooms and two baths really give each guest a sense of privacy. There are TVs in each room. There’s no adjoining bathroom to the master bedroom but it was never missed. There are closets and drawers in each bedroom and the kitchen was fully stocked with cooking needs including spices, aluminum foil, etc. There’s an outside shower as you come in from the beach and a full bathroom under the house, which is idea for bathroom needs without tracking sand in the house! The house smells and feels clean. It was the perfect getaway for my family if 5 (2 adults and 3 teens). Downtown Folly is about 15 blocks away, which was a fun golf cart ride. We can recommend this home enough! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Relaxing Beach Getaway

Beautiful and comfortable home right on the beach! Great location. Close to restaurants, pickle ball courts, and the Morris Island nature preserve. We enjoyed starting and ending each day by sitting on the screened in porch.

Perfect Folly Beach vacation house!

We loved the simplicity of this house directly on the beach. It was very clean and comfortable with a kitchen that included an impressive collection of cookware and dishes you don’t always find in a rental. Check-in was easy, check-out required only a few requirements. Communication texts were helpful and appreciated. And the screened porch was the perfect space to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. It was a great visit!.

Fantastic Beachfront Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute beachfront home. The home itself was perfect for our group and very clean. The screened in porch was amazing and the short walk across the private boardwalk to the beach couldn't be beat. One small cleaning issue but the management company was very quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely stay here again... and well, plan to!

Wonderful wayward whims

Great family beach week. This place is smack dab in the beach. You can enjoy it all day long with lugging the cooler and tents. Wonderful porch. It isn’t real big but works perfect for a group of 8 or less. You are away from the crowds by the pier but still an easy bike ride or short drive to center street. Loved it

Beach Holiday Getaway

Our stay was so peaceful! The best part was listening to the waves as we drifted off to sleep. The house was everything you could wish for, clean, spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed the screened porch, watching the waves and especially the dolphins. A much needed recharge after a long year. Will definitely book again.

Fabulous place!

My sister, our spouses, and mother stayed for a long weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wayward Whims. Cozy, comfy, fully equipped, and on the beach! We had a great time, even cooked a thanksgiving feast with the well equipped kitchen. The screened porch was the best, especially since our two full days there were rainy. Very private, quiet, and off the beaten path. Such a great place!

Clean, directly on the beach. Stocked with essentials. A little away from the center of Folly and restaurants, etc. That might be a plus or minus in your book. I liked the quiet and less traffic. Overall a nice experience.
