Tides Folly Beach, Charleston'S Oceanfront Hotel - A beachfront property with ocean views from every room, heated pool, and full-service dining

Located directly on Folly Beach with Atlantic Ocean views from every room, this Folly Beach hotel features private Juliet balconies and newly upgraded bathrooms with stand-up showers. The property includes a heated outdoor pool open from 10 AM to 10 PM and BLU restaurant serving sustainable seafood for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with indoor and outdoor seating. Helpful on-site facilities encompass a Starbucks coffee shop, room service, and a marketplace with beach gear. The adjacent Pavilion Ballroom offers 2883 square feet of event space, while an outdoor pergola accommodates special events during fall and winter. Tides Folly Beach welcomes pets for a $100 fee per stay and provides one complimentary parking pass per room. Positioned 9 miles south of downtown Charleston and 21.5 miles from Charleston International, the hotel sits within walking distance to Folly Beach Pier and local dining venues.

Pros

Direct beach access with private balconies in all rooms

Heated pool operates year-round

Pet-friendly accommodation with minimal restrictions

Complimentary parking included in resort fee

Cons

21.5 miles distance from Charleston International Airport

Limited to one parking space per room

“With direct beach access and an oceanfront location, the hotel obviously emphasizes its coastal setting. The heated pool is a draw during cooler months, and the on-site restaurant, BLU, provides an exclusive dining option. I think it's a solid choice for families seeking a relaxed beach vacation, particularly those traveling with pets.”
