Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed a beautiful view, day and night. It was the perfect spot for watching sunrise and surfers. The room was newly painted clean. I’m fussy about a clean bathroom. Clean towels. Having mold allergies, sometimes it is tough to be by the water. There were no odors. However, the a/c unit was not perfectly maintained, a little mold and dented outside. We left the slider open at night, perfect weather. Seventh floor. Broken elevator. Whole building used one. Live music, great bar, nice pool, awesome beach."

Regatta Inn Folly Beach

10/10 Excellent
"This is a special place for a quiet retreat from the city. All our hostesses made our stay here lovely. The roof top deck was my favorite spot every morning and evening to relax and watch the dolphins. Breakfast gets a 10 so don’t miss that!! Want a little beach time? Just ask for a quick golf cart ride or grab a bike. Wine and charcuterie at happy hour is also a plus. You do need to be able to climb stairs so keep that in mind😉 You will sleep well on one of the most comfortable mattresses ever. Book it!"
