We just go back from our stay at the Water's Edge Inn in Folly Beach. We had an outstanding trip to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. They have thought of everything at the inn and truly made our trip a relaxing getaway. We stayed in the Atlantic room and it was just perfect. The view and bathroom were amazing!... More

I found Water's Edge by referral from a Charleston Beach Wedding and am EXTREMELY happy I did! My now husband and I got married on Folly Beach on 5/12 so we rented a villa that sleeps up to 6 as we were going to have a few guests staying with us. Checking in, I expected your normal hotel process but... More

The common area (where evening goodies and morning breakfast are served) is small and could easily become congested. Rooms are lovely, comfortable, with all the amenities you could desire. Personnel are very knowledgable and extremely helpful (only source of directions to Bowen's Oyster Bar that were accurate!). We had reserved the Hemingway Room but a water leak interfered. We were...

We enjoyed four wonderful nights at the inn for our 25th anniversary. We wish we could have stayed longer. The staff is very friendly and helpful in recommending things to do and places to eat in the Charleston and Folly area. The beach and restaurants are all within walking or biking distance. The inn has a very nice breakfast and... More

We just stayed at the inn and had a lovely time. The atmosphere was wonderful as was the view from our room! We also loved the golf cart service to the beach and the option for bike rentals. The location was perfect for us because we wanted to be close to the beach and close to Charleston and it was... More

This was our third time staying there, and each time has been terrific!! The owner and staff make us feel like family, and the Inn is beautiful. We can't wait to go back later this... More

We were fortunate enough not to only spend five nights here--but a cancelled flight brought us back for an extra sixth night. Now usually I would be upset by this--but in this situation it was ABSOLUTELY FINE. So we check out after five days (lovely staff cheer us on our way--although perhaps saying "we've had enough of those two"!) only... More
