The Beach Hive

Cozy 2 BR Coastal Retreat

"

We highly enjoyed the location, primarily the ease it was to get to the beach (about a minute walk). They also provided a few beach toys, chairs, coolers, etc. Off side parking which is amazing and hard to find on Folly. The home was far away enough from downtown that the beach was not crowded. There were a few things that we noted on our check out sheet that needed attention, nothing major. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great stay & relaxing time at the Beach Hive! Our family of four (with 2 teenage boys) & small dog found the accommodations great. So close to the beach & downtown Folly was also close enough, but far enough away for all of us to enjoy our privacy, peace & quiet too! The garden courtyard was awesome & nice for our pup as well. The outdoor shower & beach chair, boogie boards & coolers were extremely useful too. We did have a small issue with a small leak from one of the toilets, but upon notifying the property management, it was very quickly addressed. The grill had a bit to be desired, but it in no way put a damper on our family time away. We had a great week & look forward to coming back soon!

Enjoyed everyday we were there. The body boards were a fantastic plus

We enjoyed the beautiful apartment and garden so much. The beds were so comfy, the bath and a half were wonderful for four people. The kitchen served our needs well, and the shower in the screened porch for "after beach" was perfect. We appreciated the off street parking too! The location was wonderful, so close to the beach yet a quiet neighborhood! A short drive to the restaurants was not a problem as the beach was our focus and it provided well with the find of over 200 sharks teeth in 3 days!

We rented this unit for a family beach week. We have two young kids and a very energetic doodle. This rental was a perfect fit for us. The courtyard is large and lovely and the fountain is a really nice touch. We had a lot of rain during our stay and I must say I opted to bring our dog on walks as opposed to letting him out in the courtyard, because the area there was way too muddy and although we washed his paws it's just not a good scene to have a muddy doodle in a rental. For those with kids - We had our kids sleep in the king bedroom while my husband and I took the full/queen. The kids didn't love sharing a bed at first, but they got over it, and it's so spacious that it didn't matter ultimately. The screened porch has an awesome outdoor shower as well as - to my surprise - a couple of large coolers (one with wheels) as well as beach toys and boogie boards which our kids LOVED. The interior feels spacious and the decor is nice and breezy/beachy while also feeling luxurious. Note---there is no dishwasher at this property but I really didn't miss it. The location was a real draw for me with this property and was even better than I'd expected. We had just a 3-4 minute walk over to the 7th street beach access. We could walk 6 minutes to the awesome playground around the corner (5th street). We did walk to town a couple of times even with a 4- and 7- year old. Sometimes we went through East Cooper and other times we just strolled up the beach. Overall just a really wonderful and peaceful place to spend some quality time with family. This was exactly the trip we needed. We will be back.

Great spot easy access to beach and close to down town Folly.

Nice basement unit just a 1-2 minute walk from the 7th Avenue public beach access. This was great for our family of 4.

Very nice we could easily have stayed for a week here and very convenient to everything in Folly Beach

Beautiful home convenient to the beach and downtown restaurants and bars. Hope to visit again very soon.

My husband and I came to town for a wedding, and this property had perfect amenities and was in a great location. We will definitely be visiting again in the future!

There were 2 couples in our party and we all enjoyed our stay at The Beach Hive. The kitchen and living areas were adequate, and we really enjoyed the outdoor areas for relaxation but privacy. We even had some unexpected wildlife sightings! We used the provided bikes and the parking was very easy, big enough for 2 cars or a car and a golf cart if needed. The back (king) bedroom was rather dark with a mattress protector that made the bed very warm. Some further basic amenities would have been appreciated (coffee filters, etc), but overall we enjoyed the place. The location was far enough away from the main part of town that the beach was not too busy. Overall a good stay that suited our needs.

Stayed here for a few days with a friend. It was the perfect location, close to the beach and town. Quiet and clean. Upon arrival, we noticed one of the sliding doors didn’t lock correctly. We alerted the host, and they took care of it right away. Will definitely be coming back.

This is a very nice, sweet, comfortable place, very close to the beach. It was an easy, fast walk, even with three kids. The outdoor shower is great for rinsing off and not bringing sand into the house. Everything was very nice and the place actually has even more amenities than are listed on the listing. Also the place that manages it is super fast and responsive in answering any questions. Also very nice!

Bright, clean, cozy place that felt comfortable as soon as we settled in! Comfy beds and living area. A very short walk across the street to the beach (outdoor shower to wash off inside the screened-in front porch when you get back) and the traffic is lighter down this way. Lovely rental

Our stay was perfect. Everything as described, clean, comfy, and easy access to the beach.

This little getaway was exactly what our family needed. Check in was super easy and the couple of little issues we had with the property were taken care of immediately. We would recommend!

Very cozy space with spacious bedrooms. 1 and a half bathrooms was very nice. Close beach access and nice outdoor space for dogs, although the outdoor furniture was unusable.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Beach Hive. The apartment was very clean and spacious enough for 2 couples and a dog. I really loved the courtyard. We were able to open the sliding glass door to let our dog out, enjoy a cup of coffee/beverage and hear the ocean across the street. The center of Folly was a little less than a mile away and was a nice walk. We look forward to returning to this nice home.

Great location. Close to beach.

Sweet, small apartment across the street from the beach. The biggest surprise was the lovely private garden, nicely landscaped and enhanced by the calming sound of water from the wall fountain. Keyless entry made check-in a breeze, and the apartment was clean and bright. October is a great time to visit Folly Beach - quiet and open, expansive beach, which was a plus during this time of covid. We would stay here again!

The Beach Hive provides a great escape with pretty close beach access. No one would argue that this two bedroom apartment is fancy but it is an entirely functional space for a long family beach weekend (including my 6-year-old). I'd bring my family back to this rental again.

Great location. Great Property. Great setup for bringing dogs along. Hope to see you all again.
