Location: Folly Beach, Charleston Area, South Carolina, USA (10 Miles Charleston, 50 Ft. To Beach Access) View Map
Accommodations: Ocean View Beach Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
This cottage is ideally located for families and couples who want to come and go from the beach without driving, parking or walking very far. The beach access, directly across the street, is just 40 feet from the front steps. The restaurant and shopping area are just 3 blocks away. Our cottage address is 324 West Ashley.
One of Folly's original cottages, the Love Shack has its original heartpine floors, board and batten walls and furnishings of its era. You can see the ocean from almost every room in the house - or listen to the ocean and feel the breezes on the front screened porch and large deck. There's even a roof top deck over the porch if you want a panoramic view.
This rental offers guests a combination of comfort and nostalgia that's getting harder to come by...we have aimed to preserve the same flavor we enjoyed as youngsters coming to the beach, before the era of condos and "McMansions." This property has 2 bedrooms and a large living area with newly installed flat screen TV, cable, & DVD. The front BR also has TV with cable. Our cottage has approximately 650 square feet.
We welcome children of all ages and dogs. Our property is located on a corner lot. The backyard has a canopy of live oaks and is completely fenced. This home is not nearly as elevated as the newer ones; so there's only 10 steps from the back door to the yard. All these features make pet care and child care a lot easier.
During summer season (May 23-Aug. 7), we rent by the week and our turnover day is Saturday. Check-in: 3:00 PM; Check-out: 10:00 AM

Why the Owner Chose Folly Beach
I chose Folly Beach for its relaxed atmosphere and convenience to downtown Charleston. I'm able to enjoy the beach just as I did as a teen at Folly because it has retained its identity.
The Unique Benefits at this Ocean View Beach Cottage

Owner's Map of Folly Beach
After a long career, I chose Charleston as my retirement home. What's so interesting about that is...I traveled several years in search of my perfect spot and ended up only 100 miles from home.
Charleston is multi dimensional in what it offers. I enjoy the history, culture, art, music, and academia of downtown, but cherish most the beach, boating, and bohemian attitude of our barrier islands (Folly). So, for now, I lawyer a little with my downtown firm, and spend most of my time on the beach, water, or traveling. My first grandchild is now just two months old...so my traveling is taking a second seat.
