Announcements
Some welcomed news in 2024 is The City of Folly Beach will be re-nourishing our beach which is much needed!

While we expect this to be a net positive to everyone (more sand and larger beaches), there is a small chance that your closest beach access point may be impacted during your stay.

Please note that our office does not have any more information than what is posted online, and we are not responsible for any beach disruptions caused by the re-nourishment during your stay.

Birthday beach getaway
The property had character and charm. The listing felt a bit misleading considering how dated the property was inside. Pros- huge yard for our pup, A/C was awesome and kept the place cool, ceiling fans in all rooms. Cons- with a huge fear of spiders, I saw several inside. Felt dated. Porch area was not cleaned up and filled with leaves, tarp that debris all over it etc

A Perfect 10
Loved the house, loved the location and loved the stay. I especially liked the nod to the family’s heritage and history through the art work and photos. The property had character and everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was a quiet neighborhood with a short walk to the beach easy for our 4 & 5 year olds. There were fresh flowers on the table when we arrived that made for a very nice welcome. I would definitely book this property again.

Perfect beach house!
The house was amazing. Felt like a real beach house and not a newly built rental property. It had character and was such a great home away from home. The outdoor shower was amazing and we loved how the public beach access is literally right outside our front door. Would 10/10 recommend and absolutely plan to rent again!!

Grandma's Cozy Costal Crib
Charming, older home with a beachy vibe. The kitchen gives you the feeling of being at grandma's . Loved the view from all the windows, the sloping floors and all the decor that helped us appreciate the obvious nostalgia the owner feels for this home. House was clean and well stocked and the location is perfect! The only suggestions I could make would be to upgrade to a Keurig coffee maker and provide tissues.

Bare Bones house
Clean, nice linens, but bring all food and coffee. Would have been nice to have daily coffee supplies at least. Good cooking pots, pans, knives - not dull. Plenty of lanai space; can hear waves from inside bedroom. Good heating; we stayed in Nov. We asked the lawn care service to stop mowing on a quiet Sun afternoon, though, and he did. A block from the beach. Be sure to check out the sunrise - beautiful. Don't miss that there are two showers and a sink and toilet under the house in case you have a lot of people. Bring your own shampoo; none supplied, but there was none promised. You can walk to town for eats, but drive to a grocery store. You can also drive to town and there is parking in Nov; I imagine there is no parking in high season. We liked Taco Boy and especially the Crab Shack.

Beautiful gem minutes from the beach
Check in was a breeze. Location is perfect for a quiet family getaway. Only 2 minutes from the beach. Beach area is surrounded by natural rock walls and is light traffic, unlike the busy center street area. House was comfy and well appointed. Kitchen is open and has a view of the marsh across the street. Large TVs with standard apps kept us entertained while inside. Only 1 shower (2 bathrooms) upstairs but the downstairs shower was comfy and allowed everyone space. The appliance were all in working order and the washer/dryer worked fine. Plenty of parking from the back entrance. Rented a golf cart which was handy exploring the island. Large fig tree with ripe fruit was a great surprise! Deck was shaded and a great place to relax. Only negative is that we found a few persistent ants in the kitchen which is expected in a warm summer climate. I would stay here again.

Perfect family stay
The house is nice just how it was described. Walking distance from the beach is literally 2 minutes. The shops and restaurants were like a 20 minute walk which made it quite at the house not like in town. I would rent a golf cart next time it was too long of a walk for us and our little ones. Having a shower right off the path to the beach was the best and laundry room was right there too! Plenty of outdoor seating on the back porch and screened in porch in the front. The fans and the ac worked no problem. It was very private up in the trees I rarely saw other people. It has a nice driveway it could easily fit multiple cars. We had a perfect stay I plan on returning.

The photos shown were obviously old, it currently looks more worn. The house needs some updating. The thermostat was locked at 70, way too hot for such an old house with single pane windows and doors. The ceiling in the living room leaked when it rains hard. Loved the back porch and great location to the beach!! With some updates this house would be great!

a great old beach cottage
I drove by early just to see where the house was and just by pure luck, the owner was there. Just finishing up cleaning a bit. He realized who we were and flagged me into the driveway. Introduced himself, he was a super nice guy. Showed us around a bit and asked if we had any questions. I could tell afterwards this must be his familys own cottage, with pictures dating back to 1919 (or earlier) on the wall, showing how long his family has been here. I love that kind of history. The windows appear to be the original hand made glass, The house does not have a single square wall or door, but as anyone that knows, knows this is true through all very old houses. You can really feel the history. A very shaded property, great for when you want to relax on the deck. Updated and Rustic at the same time. It screams old beach cottage you remember as a kid. I had zero complaints. Very clean and well presented. The Central air kept the house extremely comfortable. I will definitely rent it again when I go back. I just wish I could have talked to the owner more about his familys history there.

noise police
Nice location near the beach and fantastic deck, but house is quite old and bedrooms are tiny. One thing you need to know about renting this place is that they have a noise detecting device in the house - which is prone to false alarms. I got a text notification twice that we were making too much noise, in spite of the fact that we weren't making any noise at all. I called the management company phone, but got no explanation or apology. On top of that, WE had to listen all week to the noise of a construction crew building a new house on the beach just down the road , including a VERY loud pile driver that was used to drive huge foundation posts into the sand. No apology for that either.

We are enjoyed our stay at this rustic old beach cottage, just a few blocks from the beach. Really enjoyed the outside deck! And the beds were very comfortable. It would’ve been nice to have beach towels and chairs, and screens in the windows so we could sleep with the windows open at night. The check in process was really easy. Overall a lovely stay!
