Cozy Oasis

This property was so quaint! Went here to what a friend to kickoff a bachelorette weekend and we loved it. Great location and incredible shower. Hated to leave for our next destination and would have stayed here longer. Planning to take our partners back.

Folly Beach getaway

Just because it was a double bed was the only drawback— we are used to a Queen. Otherwise it was adorable and fun a quirky and just what we needed for a quick getaway!
