Folly Bungalow

A comfortable place to relax and unwind. Very close to the beach and more than enough room to let pups run around in the backyard. There's a wonderful table in the dining room to play board games and make memories. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a perfect stay for our family of 4 plus our pup. The location was perfect - just a couple of blocks from the beach and about 1 mile to downtown Folly. The house itself was perfectly arranged, with all the kitchen amenities to cook our Thanksgiving meal! The back porch and fenced in yard was where we stayed most of the time. The view and letting the pup roam was just perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

I don't know if we've could've found a better house. If you go straight down 8th 2 blocks the house is in line with a public beach access. Fenced in backyard. House looks just like the pictures. House is very nice and clean. It's a really cozy little place. It's 8 blocks away from all the big hotels and such in down town folly but it's still really easy to get too. We loved our week down there and can't wait to go back!!

House was clean, had plenty of linens, and dishes for cooking. Check in and out processes were very easy and straightforward. The team there was great to work with when we had questions. Location is perfect. Short walk straight down the street to the beach and backyard overlooking the marsh was beautiful to watch sunsets from the covered back deck. Overall a fantastic stay for our family get a way weekend.

Very clean and close to the beach. Our dog loved the back yard. Was a good choice for our last minute trip to Folly.

We had a great week. It is our 2nd stay at this cottage. It is in great proximity to the beach and is the perfect size for our family. We love that we can bring our pup! Even the one hurricane day didn't bother us. We didn't lose power and the water receded quickly.

The location was fantastic, very short walk directly to the beach access. House was just what we needed for a quick getaway weekend, and pet friendly with the fenced yard. Would definitely stay again.

The house was PERFECT for me, my teenage daughter and 3 corgis. Lovely house, very clean and quaint, and fenced in yard for the dogs was great. VERY short walk to the beach and wonderful location. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend this house.

Angie - Posted: 6/24/2023

Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay in Folly. A few steps to the beach, a short walk to the restaurants and yet still private, quiet and peaceful. Would recommend staying here to anyone.

Joshua - Posted: 11/25/2022

We stayed at a bungalow at Folly Beach. It was a perfect size for 2 adults and a fenced in backyard for our dogs and a very clean open home. The location and accommodations were great!

Ginger - Posted: 10/22/2022

They were easy to work with. We had a small issue with a light and they came out super fast to check on it

Steve - Posted: 9/26/2022

Great place with an easy walk to the beach. Great views of the marsh and river. 1 mile walk to the main strip, 20 minutes. Beach is more narrow, but with easy access and limited competition.

Dan from Augusta, GA - Posted: 8/28/2022

Lovely stay! Great location! Would absolutely return again!

Johanna - Posted: 7/20/2022

Awesome place

Robert - Posted: 5/24/2022

It was beautiful and CLEAN and convenient to everything!! It was exactly as stated! I loved sitting on the back porch in the morning and evening! Will return!

Stacy - Posted: 5/2/2022

A charming perfectly located cottage by the shore. Just two short blocks from endless sand and a backyard that extends through the marsh. Everything you need in the home. And located in a very quiet corner of Folly Beach….just excellent.

Tony from San Francisco, CA - Posted: 4/29/2022

Really great rental. Very clean. As other reviewers said, the kitchen is sparsely stocked, but we made it work. The master bed was a little rickety but comfortable. The yard was great for our dog. We would definitely stay here again!

Had a great time

Gary - Posted: 1/20/2022

The location for this property is terrific. Has a wonderful marsh view from the back, the home is on a convenient corner lot, a quick walk out front to the beach. Quiet, peaceful yet easy access to "in-town" amenities. Pet-friendly with fenced yard. A few issues related to the electrical service - a number of outlets including the kitchen area and main bath did not work, the lights at the front door and living area would blink and flicker for a period of time after first being turned on. Couldn't get the small fireplace to work. But these are very fixable issues, and overall our stay was comfy and cozy.

Aggie - Posted: 12/17/2021

Really enjoyed the marsh views and close proximity to the beach (a very short walk).

John - Posted: 11/7/2021

Really enjoyed our stay here! Lots of fun and convenient location.

Matt - Posted: 10/25/2021

Great location only 2 short blocks from beach access, easy peasy, with a view to the sound. House setting is quiet and private, away from the bustling hubbub of Center St but only a 20 minute walk there - makes for a sweet evening stroll for dinner.

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!

Beautiful view. Nice, quiet side of island. Great fenced area for pups if you have them. Very comfortable and quick walk to the beach. Beautiful view. Nice, quiet side of island. Great fenced area for pups if you have them. Very comfortable and quick walk to the beach.

Such a wonderful place to stay! We were out of the craziness of the town (close enough) and SUPER close to the beach. It was perfect!

Dylan C - Posted: 4/26/2021

We really enjoy our short stay at this wonderful folly beach cottage. The beds were so comfortable and our little pups really enjoyed the fenced back yard. We will definitely look at staying there again in the future!

Bev O - Posted: 12/21/2020

The bungalow was perfect for our family of four and our dog. The view out back is amazing, especially at sunset. Beach during the day, cooking, games and movies at night. Very nice stay with our adult children! Ceiling fans on porches would be ideal!

Lori O - Posted: 8/17/2020

This bungalow is cute as can be — pictures do not do it justice. It was neat as a pin and our experience with Folly’s Best Rentals could not have been better. Highly recommend this house - close enough to Center Street for convenience but feels far away from the crowds and revelry.

Laura J from Columbia, SC - Posted: 6/11/2019

My friends and I had so much fun at the Folly Bungalow this weekend. It has a great porch where we hung out in the evenings together. It’s a block from the beach and not far from Center street. Highly recommend!

Landon T from Charleston, SC - Posted: 5/21/2019

We travel a bit and use VRBO often, and I don't give great reviews lightly. Folly Bungalow is as comfortable, livable and well stocked as anywhere we've stayed. We pretty well lived on the screened porch with its lovely river view and necessary ceiling fan. The porch is even screened beneath the decking. We cooked fabulous seafood meals daily in the very well stocked kitchen. Short walk to the beach. I can't think of anything lacking. And it's dog-friendly! It was managed by Folly's Best, and they took care of my question and also a tiny maintenance news promptly. As a footnote, or original rental was on the NC coast, and Hurricane Florence forced us to change direction last minute. I can't imagine why this wonderful home was available, but we're grateful that it was!

Cute comfortable place.

Words cannot describe how beautiful, cozy, organized, and romantic the beach cottage is. Minta thought of everything! Even the light switches were labeled. It was so handy to have laundry detergent & basket in the washroom...its the little things. Believe me, when they say “find your happy place,” this is It. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in a Southern Charm magazine, or Better Homes and Gardens. The full-length, fully screened back porch, with its inviting adirondack chairs, and even more inviting hammock swing, candles and large ceiling fan was the icing on the cake. The outside shower station for rinsing off sand was awesome. And the delicious bed linens were just that. This momma and her 4 grown boys (27,26, 17, 17) had more than enough room. Heres an area tip...skip the line at Lost Dog restaurant, and go across the street to The Washout. And for the seafood of your southern childhood...go to Bowens Island, less than 5 miles away.
