The room was very clean and nicely decorated the staff was excellent the place itself was very convenient to everything
Charming and well equipped cottage, right on the river and very walkable to the Folly Beach downtown and all of the excellent bars and restaurants. 2br/2ba Kings Tide cottage was a pleasure to stay at, cozy and comfortable. Would definitely return!
Loved this spot! Great bed and breakfast! love the private entrance, the amenities in the main house, in addition to breakfast, they have beach supplies. Great spot to land after camping fot a week. Great shower, ordered take out. The neighborhood was safe and out of the way. Really clean and would definitely stay again.
The staff are so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Room was very nice. All the rooms have different names and are all decorated differently. Located a couple of blocks from the beach in the heart of Folly Beach. Can’t wait till our next visit!
Host was very sweet! Hooked my gf up with the only local dentist after she shattered her tooth at Rios--on hummus of all things.
Room was cute and homey, bed was a bit stiff, shower had low water pressure and all but a few of the holes in the shower spout were dispensing water, furniture was outdatted and could use updating or restoration, the porch entrance was very cute, and the breakfast was really awesome.

Room was very clean. Small but accommodating. we only stayed one night. The continental breakfast was very good as was the coffee. Recommend for short stays!
Very cute & cozy rooms. The room was clean and despite how small it was still had everything we needed in it and very good sized bathroom with extra towels that i appreciate. Easy check in/out.
This is such a cute, quaint place. The entire check-in process was super easy and they provide you with everything imaginable that you would need for a beach trip. I highly recommend staying here. I will definitely be back.
