Setting the Record Straight: Different Market, Same Consistent Position

Folly Beach Long-term rental

I addressed this during my City Council run, but since itโ€™s come up again, Iโ€™ll clarify once more. Back in February 2023, I shared that Stacy and I had rented our Greenville home on Airbnb. ๐™’๐™š ๐™จ๐™ค๐™ก๐™™ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™จ๐™š ๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง 14 ๐™ข๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™๐™จ ๐™–๐™œ๐™ค.

At the time, STRs in Greenville made up only a small share of housingโ€”around 4% countywideโ€”very different from Folly Beach, where nearly half of all homes were STRs in 2023. The scale and impact are not comparable.

My stance has always been consistent: I support stronger restrictions statewide and believe Follyโ€™s STR Cap is the right way to protect our community. Iโ€™ve always stood for balance, not bans. Itโ€™s time to move forward and stay focused on Follyโ€™s future.

Vote to preserve our communities.
