This Folly beach cottage does not disappoint. We were pleasantly surprised that the views were just as beautiful, if not more so, in person. The backyard views are mesmerizing. The proximity to the beach is so convenient. The neighborhood is lovely and quaint. There is a mix of original homes along with some new homes, as well as some renovated homes. This historical town has much to offer with its beautiful beach, its cozy town, and its convenient proximity to Charleston. Folly Beach does not tolerate the party crowd. This is not a beach for you to drink in the sand and play loud music. It’s quite the relaxing and quiet environment. We never felt crowded while we were here and we went during a very busy time. There is only one downside to this cottage and that is the rental property next-door (across side street). Having said that, though, do not let this deter you. For some, loud noise from a neighboring rental may not be an issue. For us, it is. We prefer 9 or 10 o’clock bedtimes and we like tranquil and quiet environments. We endured two different renters while we were in our cottage. Each renter attempted to play loud music and sit by their pool/hot tub late at night, but the noise was quickly eliminated by the Folly Beach public safety officers. They are wonderful! If you rent this property and hear any loud noise, all you have to do is call 911 and ask for the Folly Beach public safety and let them know your issue and they will be out within, in our case, less than 15 minutes. Our issues were entirely alleviated with both renters and we had the most wonderful stay. There are very stringent noise ordinances in Folly Beach, which makes for a very relaxing vacation. The neighborhood is so safe and so enjoyable for walking into town or just going for a stroll. We would absolutely rent this cottage again! It is so charming with its wood floors, cozy fireplace, open floor plan, and incredibly large portion. The entire property feels so private with itslushlandscaping. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch every morning and every evening looking at the views. One evening we saw three beautiful deer walking through the marsh. We could not get enough of the backyard view. We took our two small dogs. This house and yard are perfect for accommodating dogs. Highly recommend this cottage!
