“secret oasis...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here for a little "get away". I must admit, it was very hard to leave. Everything about the Inn was perfect! <3 Getting up in the morning was a task because the beds & bedding were so comfortable, but we knew there was a delicious hot breakfast waiting to be consumed in the common dining area. Everyone we came across made our stay even better. The staff and other guests were easy and enjoyable to talk with. If you want to explore around Folly they have beach cruisers and a golf cart shuttle. They start a happy hour at 4 and it runs until 7. Did I mention it's free?! They have the usual wine and beer- but they also have a delicious punch they make daily that is out of this world! Snacks and finger foods are provided as well- it almost makes you not want to leave the place at all. The only disappointment I had with the place was not staying longer. Definitely recommending this place to everyone!! :)

“dont waste your money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

The website makes it seem like a different place than it actually is. The house itself is cramped by other houses on all sides - it is NOT on the water - and the prices are ridiculous for what you get. A very small room. If you want folley beach the Tides is right on the ocean and cheaper. This is more of a B&B, but the location is not good.
Staff were great. I hate to give a bad review because they were so nice, but you can do a lot better around charleston. Over priced - terrible location.

We are located on the marsh and within walking distance to the Atlantic Ocean (less than5 blocks). The main street is one block away with plenty of restaurant options and night life. We are located in the City of Folly Beach, a 20 minute drive to the heart of downtown Charleston. We offer complimentary parking, breakfast and three hours of happy hour. We offer beer, wine, our famous Folly Punch and a daily spread of delicious food selections. Our staff is well trained, friendly and talented. I think you were looking to stay in a hotel located indowntown Charleston based on your comments. The prices downtown are double what you paid and parking is not included. We are an Inn, not a typical hotel.

“Outstanding Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

Beautiful rooms in a quiet and romantic setting. Comfortable design, large bathrooms, good breakfast and super friendly and attentive staff. Our only regret was staying one night! Will definitely stay here again our next time in Folly.

“Loved this place!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

We went on a trip through low country for my husband's birthday and this was by far our favorite place we stayed. Our room was beautiful. The staff was fantastic. When they found out it was his birthday, they sent a bottle of champagne up to the room. We LOVED the beach cruiser bikes they provided and biked to the beach every day. We can't wait to go back!

“Fall Weekend Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

My husband and I have come to the Water's Edge Inn every year since 2008 and we fell in love with the place our first year. Since that time, we've felt that the quality has decreased slightly each year and the prices have increased. Being from Charleston, we had toyed with not going to the Water's Edge this year and spending our money elsewhere, but because of tradition, we booked a room. I am happy that we did, becuase we enjoyed our stay so much -- staff were pleasant, the happy hour was great, and the breakfast was good -- although I think the quality could improve if it's going to continue to be marketed as a "B & B". Our room was clean, comfortable and very relaxing. Thanks for a great stay -- we will be back next year!
