Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

This was our 4th visit to Folly Beach and Tides Hotel! We first came because it was a Dog friendly hotel. All of the restaurants are dog friendly! We love the beach front location and spectacular view! The staff are great! A shout out to Kat, Nico, Jay, and David for making this another great vacation! See you all in September!

Stayed here spur of the moment after I extended my New Orleans trip. My room was fantastic, with the best view of the ocean and pier. I booked a few days out and only paid $133 all in. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Loved this hotel, perfect spot! Everyone was so friendly. They were under going construction in January, once that done it’ll be a better stay. The only thing I didn’t care for was how loud they played the music by the pool even when no one was out there. My room was right above the pool for the ocean view and it kills the vibe of trying to listen to the waves in the afternoon or evening. Other than that, I’d recommend. It would be great id that was dialed down a notch or limited to hour blocks or something.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Tides in Folly Beach from September 30 – October 2. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. A special thanks to the guys out front that greeted us as we arrived, and the front desk team, whose excellent customer service went above and beyond our expectations. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located right on the beach with great shopping and restaurants right outside the door. The ocean views from our room were awesome, and the entire atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. Every interaction with staff was professional, friendly, and attentive. I love that they knew me by name and greeted me every time they saw me. We left refreshed and impressed, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. I highly recommend The Tides for anyone seeking a beach getaway with exceptional service and unbeatable views with everything you need in walking distance. Kudos to everyone there for a great job.

Truly loved this hotel. Our view of the beach and folly were both equally beautiful. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful! The room was very clean and bathrooms were really nice. Water pressure needs a little help but would definitely be back here!

Stayed here a few times in the off season for a little staycation. It’s a great location. It’s definitely an older hotel but it’s been renovated and they’ve done some decent upkeep on it. Rooms are decent. Nothing super fancy but exactly what you need for just spending the night and sleeping there. The hotel itself has a nice bar inside and outside as well as a restaurant.

We loved our stay at Tides Folly Beach! You can’t beat the location — right on the ocean and steps away from restaurants, shops, and the pier. The views from our balcony were incredible and the beach access made it so easy to spend the day by the water. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and beachy the entire time. The pool area was clean, and we enjoyed being able to grab food and drinks without ever leaving the property. While some parts of the hotel feel a little older, everything was comfortable, clean, and well-kept. The oceanfront view more than made up for any minor dated details. Overall, this is the perfect spot for a laid-back beach getaway. We’d definitely stay here again next time we visit Folly Beach!

Overall great, all rooms have ocean views with small accessible balconies but hotel is showing its age. The beds and pillows are soft (for those who perfer firm), and could use more sheets or additional comforter (cold in January for just sheet and thin cover). Heater unit starts making odd noises overnight. Staff are incredibly nice and helpful, water pressure is great with very hot water. Pool is nice and heated (no hot tub though unfortunately). Lots of good tv channels with some premium (showtime, hbo) and ones for kids (disney, cartoon network). Fridge in room. Wifi works fine but is unprotected (no password). Quiet snd not busy (in january)
