Directions were explicit and easy to follow. The photos were accurate. The pool was wonderful to spend some time in after the beach. Kitchen was well appointed with all needed equipment. The second bathroom is located in the nearby, as in 15 feet, bath house which ended up to be perfect for showers after the beach. We saw the owners once for a few minutes. They were very friendly. It seemed like we had the place to ourselves. very walkable to Center street, as well as the beach, but far enough that is was very quiet.

Absolutely gorgeous view of the marsh. Awesome back porch and fenced in backyard. Easy two blocks from the beach. It’s the perfect vacation spot. Thanks for a great stay.

Loved our stay in Folly at this fabulous property that was 3 blocks from the ocean as well as has a pool. Very clean and was great for our adult family of five. The owners live upstairs and are friendly but not intrusive. Will definitely keep this property in mind for future visits to Folly!

Excellent location and hosts are very responsive.

We had a wonderful family stay at Folly Beach. The location was perfect, close to the fun of Center St and just a couple of blocks from the beach. The pool made for a great spot for the family to relax and we had a couple of very nice chats with the owner. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

We loved our stay here! It was a great space for our family of 5. The location is a very quick walk to the beach or main street with shopping and restaurants. There is also a cute park with playground equipment about 2 blocks away, which our young kids appreciated in the evening. The hosts opened the pool a couple days early for our kids to swim and they were delighted! We would recommend this for families who want a comfy stay and a great location!

Plenty of room, comfortable beds, great location. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. 20 minutes to downtown Charleston. The pool looks inviting but not in February.

Host was very friendly. nice place to stay

This property was a perfect 10. It was exactly true to the listing description. The owners were nice and friendly. Beach access was a super easy 2 block walk. The selling point for me was the private pool. We enjoyed the pool all day long when we weren’t at the beach. The separate full bathroom out by the pool was really convenient and our daughter and son in law used it the entire time as their separate bathroom space. Folly has lots of restaurants within walking distance but we also cooked a couple dinners in the well equipped kitchen. There are lots of souvenir shops on Folly Island-also within walking distance. We found Bert’s Market to be a unique, small town grocery store with everything from complimentary coffee to fresh sushi and dragonfruit sorbet. Folly Island has a relaxed Carribean vibe that our family loved. Folly, you were good to us-we may be back!

Great space, inside and out. Lots of homey touches, and friendly owners upstairs. We loved being in this beautiful garden so near the beach, it was a perfect place for us and our grandkids who loved the pool and playing with the balls and beach toys provided. Thanks to the McGees for their to warm welcome!

Maggie O - Posted: 11/3/2020

I had a nice stay with my 14 year old and 12 year old twins. It was nice to have a private pool, and there is plenty of seating room on the pool side.

Quana W - Posted: 8/10/2020

We had a great time at the Folly Cottage. It’s in walking distance of all the restaurants, stores and the beach. The owner even gave us aloe straight from the plant for our sunburns. Would highly recommend!

Autumn - Posted: 5/31/2020

Love the vThis house was perfect for us-3 adults and 3 kids(7,6 and 4)! There was plenty of room in the bedrooms, the kitchen was large, very clean, well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. and ALL the appliances worked well. The laundry room was roomy and both machines worked well. I thought we might have an issue with just one bathroom inside, but with the bathroom outside in the pool house we were just fine. Having the bathroom with a shower outside next to the pool was fantastic! After returning from the beach(which was a very short, easy walk with 3 kids in 90 degree heat carrying all our gear), we washed off chairs, sand toys, etc with the convenient hose just outside the gate and then went straight to the pool house with the kids and got them showered and dressed before ever going inside the house( just remember to leave towels and change of clothes in the pool house before leaving for the beach. The pool was perfect when we didn't want to take everything to the beach or when it was just too hot. And it was great to cool off after a morning at the beach, too. We enjoyed grilling by the pool(you need charcoal and lighter). There were plenty of places to sit and eat by the pool- 2 tables /10 chairs, 3 chaise lounges and even a porch swing. And I can't forget the owners who lived upstairs and were delightful and helpful, especially when we didn't have a lighter for the grill!iew

Janet C from DUNWOODY, GA - Posted: 9/6/2019

Great property, we will stay here again.

Robert G from Dallas, TX - Posted: 7/10/2019

I've nothing but good to say about this place. Three bedroooms, one bath, adequately stocked kitchen (I didn't find a coffee grinder, and had to go back to Berts to grind what I thought was gound coffee), plenty of common space, and a nice little pool - perfect for our young granddaughter. Very clean. Owner's live upstairs, and are pleasant. (And … I left a camera batter and charger, and Folly's Best Rentals retrieved it and sent it to me. Much appreciated.)

Cliff W from Jonesborough TN - Posted: 6/24/2019

Great location, clean, plenty of cooking stuff, baggies, paper towels etc. Bring own beach towels and necessities. Pool is clean and great after day at the beach. Outdoor sitting area is nice. We could only get one channel on the TV. Great place and would return.

Bonnie K from Charlotte, NC - Posted: 6/11/2019

Loved the cleanliness and privacy. Beautiful landscaping around unit and pool! Would definately stay here again.

Myra W from Shelby, NC - Posted: 9/7/2018

Lots to do. Fun little island. Close to restaurants and shopping

Kandi from Owosso, MI - Posted: 8/14/2017

We had a great week at the cottage. Everything about the stay was just what we hoped for. The pool right outside our front door made the week for us. It was a short walk to the beach as well. Having s yard to come out to relax was amazing ..... And we got to use our hammock which made for perfect nights under the stars. The extra bathroom outdoors In the pool house was very handy. Every now and then we could hear walking upstairs.

Chris from Dover, Deleware - Posted: 8/7/2017

My fiancé and I have two baby girls and this was our very first family vacation. We could've got a room at the hotel on the beach but I'm all for the experience and I am extremely happy with our choice to stay at the Folly Cottage! It was clean, comfortable, peaceful and we had a pool all to ourselves. We were so close to everything we didn't need to move our car. The owners of the house do live right upstairs, but they are hardly ever home and when they are, you won't even notice. We ran into Mr. Owner twice and he was the sweetest person he introduced himself and shared the history of the house with us which added a little sugar on top of our stay. It a wonderful beach, the locals are great, it's beautiful, and we will be staying again!

Emily from Charlotte, NC - Posted: 8/7/2017

Great Place! We've stayed at several different places in Folly Beach, and this was the best. It was roomy and clean and comfortable. The location is just a short walk to Bert's store and also to the downtown area and beach. I think we'll be staying here again .I recommend this to all.

Merl from Jackson, MS - Posted: 8/7/2017

My family and I stayed at Folly Cottage for 6 nights. We had a wonderful stay. My kids loved the fact that it was such a short walk to the beach and just minutes away from ice cream on Center St. My favorite part was the private pool (I am not a sand lover, so it was perfect for me.) The house itself was clean and had a feeling as if we were home. I would recommend this cute cottage to anyone.
