A Real Beach House

We loved our stay at Sweet Tea! It’s a nostalgic home that’s updated and comfy. The porch is a perfect spot to visit in the evenings while listening to the waves crashing. With only a short distance to the beach access, we made it to the beach in no time to set up and enjoy the beach! We’ve already started planning another trip.

Extra Special Birthday!

We are from Cincy and wanted to surprise my stepmom for a special bday. This host was instrumental in making this happen. He answered all of our questions quickly and was helpful with suggestions. The house was impeccably clean, inviting, so conveniently located, and perfect for our stay. I would be content to make this the only place we stay from now on. What a tremendous place to stay!!!!

Spring Break at Sweet Tea

We booked Sweet Tea as a last minute Spring Break Trip. Having never been to Folly Beach, SC before we were very pleased with our decision to try this house and beach. The house was well stocked and had plenty of general necessities. Also, everything was clean and organized. Location is great - short walk to the downtown/pier area where all the main restaurants are located. Also, just steps to the beach with 2 access points just a few hundred feet from the property. We enjoyed our stay and would like to visit again in the future.

Cozy house in a great location!

This home was cozy but offered plenty of space for our family of 5 and 2 pups. We loved being able to walk everywhere we went, and the proximity to the beach was fantastic! The beds are extremely comfortable, and the fans in each room for white noise meant we all slept great. The kitchen is extremely well-appointed, too--I was even able to make my son a cheesecake for his birthday! 10/10 recommend this property, and we look forward to visiting again sometime!
