McCarolina: Spacious Retreat with Ocean & Marsh Views Reviews

We loved the spacious floor plan of this house. The kitchen was huge and well-stocked. Lots of seating inside and out which was a plus! It was nice having beach and marsh views. The house needs a good deep cleaning and an overhaul of the beds. Better quality mattresses and bedding would make stays more comfortable.

Great for the price

Great access to the beach with a wonderful view of the ocean from the balcony. We had 12 people and this house accommodated everyone.

Bigger Then Expected!

A house full of friends stayed very comfortable in this home for my husbands 40th birthday! We enjoyed both views from the front and the back! Only downside was the low water pressure.

Great house in need of TLC

This house is run down and was filthy when we arrived. The beds seemed to be freshly made and there were clean towels. However, the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, there were spills on the floor, clumps of dust hanging on the walls, spills running down the kitchen cabinets, hair in the bathroom sinks and tubs, and the refrigerator was dirty inside an out. Cabinets doors were broken and the air conditioning intake unit rattled, keeping people awake at night. In the morning I called the property management company and asked them to send a housekeeper and a maintenance person. They did so immediately. The maintenance man fixed the items on my list. He was very professional, proficient and quick. The housekeeper washed all the floors, wiped down the kitchen and bathrooms. She did the best she could in the 45 minutes she was there. However, this house needs to be cleaned from top to bottom. In fact, the entire interior really needs to be painted. All the woodwork is dirty and there are marks and chips in the walls. All that said, this house is a great place for a large family gathering. The configuration of rooms lends to entertaining and gathering but also provides enough space that everyone can find a quiet place. There are lots of bedrooms, two family rooms and two decks. It’s about 2 miles to the lighthouse in one direction and 2 miles to Center Street in the other direction. There are ocean views from the front deck and march views from the back deck. The front deck is really big and has the perfect combination of sun and shade. The beach is steps away, just across the street. For planning you should know that there is no gas grill, no blow dryers, no dish towels. I bought a couple of pot holders and left them there. There are only two beach chairs and no beach umbrella but you get free beach gear with the rental so you may want to rent what you need..

A beautiful home that needs some fixes

The house was lovely, lovely location. Some inside repair need to be addressed. Light bulbs out, only 7 forks in the kitchen, cupboards broken. The back porch needs cleaning. We didn’t feel we could sit on those chairs.

Perfect place for our family get away.

Major Electrical issues on the first day but the team at dunes properties were quick to respond and kept me updated on when it would be fixed. Excellent customer service. Folly Beach is beautiful and fun for the family. This property was perfect for our extended family of 14 to stay at.

family time

Our family has grown larger over the last year or two and we needed a vacation home that would accommodate our needs for space to be together and space to be apart. This home was perfect for us for exactly that reason, and we especially enjoyed cooking together in the spacious kitchen and playing games on the dining room table overlooking the marsh. After walking on the beach, which was just across the street, we sat out in the porch swing talking, and we read magazines and napped in the chairs out there. Walking into town gave us the exercise we needed, and I loved watching the sunrise from my bed each morning near the back porch. It is probably odd to go on and on about a shower, but the master bathroom was off the charts incredible. I have never had such a luxurious bathing experience before, but I surely will again when we return there next year. My family and I had a wonderful time together and this house was the backdrop where our connections were renewed.

Just what we needed

The house was as expected. Clean, comfortable beds, cold A/C, and fast internet. We were there just a few days after hurricane Irma came through so the beach across the street from the house was in rough shape. But we rented a 6 person golf cart for the day and went exploring Folly Island and had great time. Would definitely stay here again.

Great family retreat!

Great location for celebrating our mother's 90th birthday! Wonderful front deck facing ocean was great for gatherings, games, and meals. Very large kitchen with adjoining den which was good for visiting and for group meal preparations. Only gave it three stars because the house was under renovations that were not quite finished which was inconvenient but it was still great. Once those are complete, it will be wonderful. There were only 3 baths one of which was in the master. So, if your group is very compatible, that will not be a problem. Beach access was directly across the street which was very convenient since we had small children with us. Loved watching all the surfers as well! The best way to describe our stay is...we will definitely rent this home again!
