Folly's Seacret Cottage-Short Walk to Shops/Restaurants & Beach!
- Minimum stay:2-3 nights
- Internet:No
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
We want to preserve our history on Folly Beach and pride ourselves on using reclaimed objects to design our property. The 'Seacret Cottage' is tucked away amongst the trees for a private and secluded feel. Yet, it is less than a half block to the shops & restaurants. The three block walk to the beach takes only approx. 5 minutes. We are only 10 miles East of Historic Downtown Charleston, SC with superb dining, shopping and numerous family oriented activities.

It was a such a charming cottage! My husband & I would recommend it to anyone looking for more of a homey feel. We actually spent a lot of time relaxing in the cottage. And we loved having our morning coffee at the little table overlooking the palm trees. If we visit Folly again we will stay here!!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car.

We had a amazing time at the secret cottage. It was renovated in great fashion, and they made an excellent use of the space. Eventhough it is small, it was fully equiped with everything that we would need and did not feel crowded. The location is amazing, a very short walk from downton and from the beach. The house manager, Ginger, was very friendly and took care of all of our needs. We can't wait for our next trip back to the secret cottage in Folly!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

I love Folly's Secret cottage!! I am local and just wanted to hide out for a weekend and it was perfect. I got up early and walked to Black Magic Coffee for a Zippy Bean and almost had a mild stroke from the caffeine. Then I walked to the pier and watched the surfers. The cottage is next to Beachside Bed and Breakfast and when I returned from the beach Ginger (Innkeeper) and some of the guest were going to Art in the Park, so I went too! Then we hit Crab Shack for Bloody Mary's. I hated to go home even if home was just 20 minutes away!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much everyone for all the great reviews and comments! We had a successful first summer with this cottage rental and hope that everyone will keep us in mind for future travel plans and tell all your friends too! Rates go down November 1st but we can be flexible in October as well, just request a quote and we will see what we can do for you.

This cottage was the perfect retreat for a quiet, relaxing get-away. The proximity to the beach, shops, dining makes the cottage a perfect place - once you arrive - you never need your car. The only thing I would change is perhaps the old fashioned sink in the bathroom. Otherwise we found the place very qaint and cozy with a very well stocked kitchen & creative use of such a small space.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

Listing description is accurate; this cottage is very clean, has every basic kitchen tool, and is right in the middle of downtown fun without being noisy. The only sound at night is the tree frogs. Oak and palmetto trees surround the windows, the beds are very comfortable, and the parking is right in front of the entrance gate. As others have mentioned, Ginger is very wonderful; she greeted me and quickly checked me in, then left me to start my vacation. Overall, this is the best place to stay is you need a small, efficient space.Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

Very cute place. Would go back in a heart beat. Wouldn't suggest more than 3 people tops. I might eliminate a few of the decorations to allow for a bit more space for travelers items. Nicely done.Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway, tourists without a car.

My husband and I were thrilled to find this pet friendly cottage, only a 2 min walk to the beach. Our favorite aspects: modern, clean design; cozy "hobbit-like" feel (I am a LOTR fanatic!!); super-friendly owners live on the property and made us feel very welcome. The kitchen is well-equipped and European shower/bath room is awesome (the sink is way too small but otherwise we loved it). We especially appreciated being only 1 block away from downtown. We walked over to Black Magic Cafe every morning for iced lattes and yummy food. As far as Folly restaurants go, we liked Black Magic the best by far. The sandwiches are healthy, fresh, and not overpriced. We did not get to try Lost Dog but heard it is also highly popular. We do not recommend this cottage if you are a hardcore TV/movie person. During the day we were at the beach of course and since we knew there is no cable TV, we brought several DVD's. The TV is very small, located up high in the top corner of the room, and the sound could not compete with the A/C window unit noise. We just kept turning off the AC intermittently. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was lovely to visit Folly!Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway, tourists without a car.

My wife and I stayed at this cottage for the first half of our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. The managers and owners were extremely nice and accommodating. The location is awesome and the amenities are all brand new. We had a terrific time and highly recommend this cottage. It's a nice example of green design as well. We will be back!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: The innkeepers, Michael, Christy and Ginger have lived on Folly Beach for approx. 10 years. We all fell in love with the Island and are passionate about maintaining Folly's 'old beach feel'. They love the character and history of Folly's old beach cottages and often use reclaimed objects in renovating their cottages. To share their experience, they decided to rent their newly renovated cottage. Folly Beach is like no other beach. Come and get that 'Folly Feel' for yourself!
Why the Owner Chose Other Folly Beach Properties:
Just built new/clean, adorable and cozy cottage nestled in the trees for privacy but close, 5 minute walk, to shops, restaurants and the beach!
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Close to restaurants and bars but buffered from the noise of late night music and partying. Property manager and owners truly care for all of our guests and do as much as possible to make your stay great!
