Folly Bungalow

"

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

Truly a Sweet Place!

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!

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.
