The beach is extra clean. And the staff was helpful with ways to avoid Charleston traffic. And made it easy for us to go to the open air market and the South Carolina Aquarium. My family and myself had a great trip and recommend the Tides at Folly Beach.

This place is in the best location, views were so good, everything is nearby and walkable, I always have a million questions and the staff was so kind and knowledgeable and I appreciate that a ton, the only thing that wasn’t perfect was the elevator was a little sketchy but 10/10 will come back again and again!
