    1009 West Ashley Folly Beach - Don't Stay in this Folly Beach House Rental

    Fred Holland Realty advertised a beach house rental that is good for "large family gatherings" on the beachfront. It has 4 BR and 2 BA and if you count the mold infested mothball smelling downstairs room, it has 5 BR and 1 more bath but it's not livable down there.  We complained when we arrived 1) that it wasn't cleaned from the previous week's visitors with food on the counters and floors among other nasty findings and 2) that the house itself was in need of a major upgrade. I have a 9 month old baby and we had to put a sheet on the floor as it was so dirty that your feet were black after walking around on the carpet. We covered the furniture as it was disgusting as were the curtains and mattresses. So, Fred Holland Realty's answer? You get what you pay for. $3,000 a week for a nasty, dirty beach house? Why don't you take pride in all of your homes and insist they be clean? Why don't you warn people in your listing? Why don't you insist that the owner upgrade it to living conditions or take it off your list? Tell the owner, Mr. Jerry Zucker, the second richest man in South Carolina to replace the dirty carpeting and floors and make it a respectable property. Well, that won't happen. And more families will stay here. Which is why I'm warning you now. Do not stay here. It is not family friendly and the realty ruined the start of our family reunion and my dad's 70th birthday. More to come including their listing of the house vs. the actual listing that it should read. 1009 W Ashley Folly Beach, SC 29439 http://holland.vrmreservations.com/vrmgr/rental/PropertyDisplay.aspx?PropertyId=25&WebCode=all&ReturnPath=/vrmgr/search/SearchResults.aspx Description: An excellent home for a large family vacation (NOT). The top floor is the main living area with a full kitchen, living room (needs new curtains, furniture, paint on the walls and carpet), and bedrooms (that need new mattresses and carpet). A totally seperate (spelling?) unit downstairs has two more bedrooms (OUTRIGHT LIE - it's one bedroom and a family room with two twins and damp, mothball scent throughout, floors need replacing) and a full bath. Great ocean front home value (it's a dump).  Also, there is a fly stuck inside one of the pictures with a water stain on it. Lovely. Pets Allowed: No Bedrooms: 6 Bathrooms: 3 Half Bathrooms: 0 Security Deposit: $0.00 <!-- Allows Discounts?: No --><!-- Brochure Page: -->Beds: 3q, 1d, 4t Home owner: Jerry Zucker (he also owns 903 W Ashley and they were complaining of bugs in the bed) http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/10/G399.html Technorati Tags: folly-beach-house-rental,, fred-holland-realty,, folly-beach,, 1009-west-ashley,, charleston-beach-rental,, folly-beach-rentals
