Zen was fantastic. The location is at the Washout- where the surfing is best on the island. We loved the being on the beach with such great views. Very cool and funky place. Loved it.

Great location and beautiful views. We had a wonderful 3 night stay with our 2 dogs. Welcoming place that had everything we needed. We enjoyed the funky decor and loved listening to LPs during our stay. The deck offers amazing views of the beach. Loved watching the surfers. Cool place 😎

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was in excellent condition--clean, comfortable, and vibrant. The beach view/access was unbeatable. Even though this is an upstairs unit, there was no one else on the main floor so we had total privacy. We also appreciated the bathtub on the porch, the shower head for washing off sand on the lower deck, and the awesome three-head shower inside. Couldn't have asked for a better stay! We will be back.

Has so much potential
The canopy over the deck was broken and gutter hanging off the front of the home. We contacted Folly's Best Rentals and they said someone would come to repair, but never showed our entire stay. The over all condition of the property was overgrown and the photos on the site state they are up to date is simply not true. The play ground advertised is not even useable. There was no direct access to the beach without a 2 foot drop off or walking down the street to public access. There were ants in the kitchen area and the bathroom door is hard to close. We also encountered a snake which is likely due to the overgrown conditions. I wish I could upload photos here. The landing on the lower deck going towards the beach is in very dilapidated condition that is very much unsafe.

Really beautiful place - what a view! A bit hard to get off island on a Sunday since no Ubers come down that way so I recommend Folly Cab service.

Zen on the East End was absolutely fabulous! We loved that the entire yard was fenced as well as gates on the huge deck! The owners weren’t in town so we had the entire deck and yard to ourselves. The apt had a comfortable, clean king sized bed. The living room and kitchen were great as well! Ocean views galore!! It’s perfect for a couple and dog!! I loved that it was a quiet but easily accessible by golf cart. to the hopping center street!! We rented a golf cart for the 3 days and toured all over the island. We’ll definitely be back!!

We had a great time the place is right on the water and since it was offseason it was like having a private beach. There is a town 1.5 miles down the road that has shops, food, and live music that was perfect to get out at night. Close to Charleston as well. Would definitely stay here again.

This is the place to stay if you want privacy, a beautiful view, and a cozy place. We wanted a girls getaway and this was perfect! The view is gorgeous with a private deck and we were able to hear the ocean throughout the entire apartment. This is now my favorite place to stay in Folly Beach. We will be back!

This was an amazing place with a beautiful view of the beach. We loved waking up to the sunrise, walking out on to the deck and enjoying each morning with the sound of waves. The interior is a little dated, but the place was very clean, and the location and views were unbelievable. My only drawback was lighting getting into the place was limited. So coming back after dark, we had to be careful since it was difficult to see. Otherwise everything was great!

Fantastic View!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful time @ Zen on Folly. The view was awesome and I loved being able to have the whole view of the ocean from the living room. We had the perfect view of the sunrise. The unit was very clean but was more like a loft/studio. It was perfect for us and our mini Golden Doodle. The lower unit was not occupied so we had the other 2 decks to ourselves. We will definitely be back! Absolutely loved it!

The unit was exceptionally clean and functional. The upper deck is great. The 2 other decks are nice and shared. The lower unit was unoccupied and looks like it is used sparingly And is well weathered. The unit inside has been upgraded to modern standards. We will be back.

We loved our stay at Zen on Folly. Even though the weather was less than ideal, it did not matter because of the view and proximity to the ocean. The sight and sound of the waves is always present no matter where you are in this place. We felt very safe as my mother and I both are in high-risk categories and needed a getaway that was socially distant. We never wanted to go anywhere else the whole week. Everything was exactly as advertised. So quaint with lovely little homey touches. I hope we can stay here again another time soon

Had a wonderful 3 day weekend staring at the ocean & sky from the beautiful deck -wonderful location, perfect size for 2, would stay forever if I could-wish I could’ve used the outside bath but it was too chilly out

My husband and two-year old daughter enjoyed this place. It was the perfect space for us. Everything was clean and comfortable. The weather was cold and wet for a couple of days so we were inside a lot more than we thought but the view of the ocean and surfers kept us entertained. Great place! We will be back.

This property was perfect for my fiance and I. It was spacious and clean and the view from the living room was amazing. I loved being able to sit on the deck and watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Plus when we wanted to do anything in downtown Charleston, it was a very short drive. We would definitely stay here again.

Location, Location, Location!!! We absolutely loved being right on the beach! The private walkway to the beach was especially nice in the time of Covid, not having to worry about using the narrow public beach walkway. The unit itself worked great for my husband, our 11 year old daughter and are Boston terrier. It had all the kitchen essentials we needed which was great. It could use a little maintenance/updating the flooring but not a big deal. It does have a closet in the unit to hang clothes, and a cabinet in the bathroom. There is a fan in the bedroom which we ran at night. Overall, you can’t beat the location of this place! I loved having my coffee on the deck in the mornings watching the waves.

An absolutely great location with terrific views of the beach right below the apartment. The kitchen was nice and the bathroom surprisingly well equipped. The apartment itself is somewhat dated and a bit tired but we felt the view and location made up for the minor condition issues.

Peace and Quiet With an Amazing View!

My husband and I have stayed in many homes at Folly Beach. Typically we go down with more people and 2 animals in tow, necessitating a larger property. Zen on the East End will be our go-to for future getaways for 2 (or 4, if we opt to bring the dogs). 
The condo has an unobstructed view from the deck, a large comfy king bed and everything one needs for a pleasant stay. The space is laid out efficiently and includes a nice desk for those folks who do have to get some work done while away. The yard is fully fenced and decks are all gated, which is highly desired for those traveling with pets, which we do often.
Lastly, Zen is on the east end of Folly, which is our favorite part - near the washout. The folks at Folly's Best Rentals were all very warm and friendly, as well!

Sooooo Perfect
We’ve stayed at quite a few rentals on Folly over the years and we are absolutely in love with this property. It’s high over the beach so there’s ALWAYS a great breeze. Having your own private stairway to the beach is great! It’s so wonderful for 2people, which can be hard to find, the space is lovely and put to fantastic use. I prefer this end of Folly. The rental company went above and beyond to help make our stay fantastic, down to bringing a personal grill AND charcoal over! It was pristinely clean, and the views from the wall of windows is BREATHTAKING! Very nice towels and linens provided. We are always planning our next summers stay here! I can’t say enough good things!!!!!!!! Booking was a breeze from start to checkout. GREAT COMPANY! GREAT HOUSE!
