I had such an epic stay that I decided to extend it! A big thank you to David and Jay for their help when I checked in—they were both so welcoming and efficient. And a special shoutout to Ellie this morning for assisting me with extending my stay. Her vibe was amazing, she was incredibly informative, and her epic smile truly brightened my day. I can’t wait for my next staycation here!
Awesome place . . . Anniversary . . . They text prior to arrival if they can assist in anything. Surprised my husband with chilled wine in the room at arrival . . . Just a great place. 2nd time staying.
Amazing staff! Truly could not be better people. The ocean view from every single room is incredible! The rooms are a bit older and well loved, but it doesn’t matter because the accessibility around Folly and staff are top tier. Everything was wonderful!
