A perfect home away from home.......

I stayed in Lamms End for one month with my brother and father in February 2011. I have travelled extensively througout Europe, Canada and the United States. This was by far the best accomodations I have ever stayed at. I had no problem preparing meals in the kitchen, relaxing on the sun deck, and lazily reading a book in bed. Beth has made this vacation home as comfortable as the one I live in. The people in the area are very eclectic and it is easy to spend time in one of the bars listening to a live group in the evening. I would highly recommend this vacation home!!! Oh ya, the tennis court is right across the street and there is a kids playing ground there as well.

Owner response:Shelley, Greg's help with the grill was so appreciated... and your tea was a delight! Best of all I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know your wonderful family while I was getting Lamm's End Bungalow ready for service. Since your visit, we have taken many reservations from our friends north of the border. Folly is on the radar in Canada! Take care and best wishes, Beth

Lamm's End Cottage is roomy, attractive, comfortable, very well equipped, very clean and in an ideal location for families. We had all the comforts of home only a couple of short blocks from the beach. The playground and tennis court behind the house (but not too close--it was very quiet) are well maintained and we enjoyed them both. We all got to use the hammock and the front porch was a great place to have our morning coffee. The beach was practically deserted except on the weekends, and the sights, tastes and shopping of Charleston are very close by. We liked the local restaurants: the Lost Dog Cafe' has great breakfast and lunch and every coffee and tea beverage you could think of, The Grill has nice soup and salads, and Taco Boy has tasty and innovative food (best guacamole we've had outside of Mexico) although the music indoors was too loud. Be sure to take a boat cruise. We had an excellent marsh/shelling/history ride with a local guide. All in all, it was a fabulous and relaxing vacation, and we plan to do it again.

Pampered, Worry-Free Vacation

We have stayed in two of the Lamm's properties several times, and every time it's been a great experience. This last time was no exception. This cottage has lovely details--granite counters, slate floors in the bathrooms, great chairs and a hammock on the porch--too many great things to mention here. And everything is provided. There are beach towels, chairs, and even coolers for your use. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything from mixing bowls to measuring cups. The best thing about this and the Lamms's other properties is that they are meticulously maintained and the owner is scrupulous in her attention to detail. She responds promptly to any questions or request. And this cottage is lovely. It's an old Folly house that's been lovingly restored and updated, and it's a great space to spend time in. Relax on the front porch or grill out and eat on the back deck. It's a quick two and quarter blocks to the beach walkover (and the big cooler has wheels). We go to Folly twice a year, and I can recommend these properties without reservation. The only difficulty we've ever had is getting a spot--people know a good thing when they see it and you have to book early!

We lucked out finding this place! Had only 4 days to spend on Folly Beach and Lamms End Cottage just happened to have an opening. We had 2 little boys with us and the playground across the street was a favorite spot for them. Their parents used the tennis courts. And I hit the beach, so close you can hear the waves at night. The kitchen was well supplied with anything we needed. But my favorite spot was the hammack on the front porch. After a day of sightseeing, you'd find me there! Our daughter lives 2 miles away, so we will be back.

We just wanted to say thank you for fitting us in at the last minute, and sharing your ever so beautiful charming cottage with us! We've been to Folly half a dozen times now, and no where have we felt as at home and well-quartered as at your very lovely home. We hope to return in the not too distant future!

Owner response:Thanks for the kind remarks, Jim. Our family finds those spontaneous get-a-ways the most fun! Our team always works hard to accommodate our guests even if it's at the last minute. We'd love to have your family stay with us again. Beth

My husband, Jack Russell and I enjoyed every moment at Lamm's End Cottage. We were looking for a peaceful few days, a place to read, walk, cook together, nap and we found it. Comfortable house with all the amenities, a block from the beach and a short walk from our old favorite, Taco Boy! On this trip we also discovered Lost Dog cafe and the crepe stand! We have rented personal homes before and been so disappointed when we arrived but Beth's cottage is everything it looks like in the website, and more! You won't be disappointed. . . . we hope to return for a cosy winter getaway too! Thanks Beth . . . we feel like we have our own personal beach house! - Karen , Nashville, TN

"Lamms end cottage " is really the begining.

I could not believe our good fortune when we arrived and found Lamm's end cottage. It isn't easy trying to visualize how nice your rental will be in South Carolina when your booking it from Canada, and on the internet. Also I did not really realize how super everything was untill we started to get around Folly Beach. Our spot was so central, so close to everything that we could walk to town or one of the great bars and not worry about driving . The tennis court was across the street so I could look out the kit. window to see if the court was available, the beach was 1 block away. The Southern hospitality is not a myth and I was greeted and pampered every where I went , the owner of the Surf Bar dove over the bar to shake my hand first time I entered his establishment. The style, layout and furnishings make the Lamm's end cottage a welcome retreat at the end of a day and everything we could possibly want for cooking ,cleaning or just relaxing was so generously supplied. We were very impressed and would love to return soon and do it allover again. Thank you Beth Lamm for sharing your home and its beautiful energy with us.

Charming, Comfortable and Well Appointed

My family and I have stayed at Lamm's End three times and always enjoyed it. This time we had fewer family members coming so I was looking for a smaller place and Lamm's End Cottage was perfect. Having made the mistake of renting (on VRBO) a house that was managed by a company rather than the owner, I found out how different that can be, Beth's homes are well appointed and when there has been an occasional "blip", Beth was extremely responsive in resolving the issue. My toddler grandchildren loved the Pirate's Cove park behind the house. Our only "complaint" was that the couch is not very comfortable to sit on. Kind of surprising given how Beth's homes are really focused on creature comforts. We fought over the two upholstered chairs in the living room for more comfy seating. Loved the hammock - took a much needed nap their one day. We'll be back.

Great location - close to beach and the shops and restaurants of Folly Beach. Cottage was clean and comfortable. Highlights include the hammock and rocking chairs on the front porch and the huge deck around the back and side of the house. The fenced yard provided plenty of room for our dogs to roam. Everything you could possibly need is provided, including in the kitchen. Beth was a pleasure to deal with. You really can't go wrong with Lamm's End Cottage.

This is a rental that really lives up to its claim for attention to detail. Nicely renovated and decorated with very comfortable beds, beautiful linens and comforters. Lots of living space inside and out with decking that offers options for sun or shade, and plenty of comfortable furniture. The kitchen is a delight with everything you need to cook up a storm. A short two block walk to the beach. As we were staying over the Christmas Holiday we did not make use of the beach chairs, towels and toys, but it's all there. We very much appreciated that this rental is pet friendly with lots of outside space for our furry friends that we never leave behind . Can't wait to come back during the summer season. You can't go wrong with this rental, it has it all!!

Owner response:Thanks, Pat for taking the time to share your experience at Lamm's End Cottage. When I started this business nearly 8 years ago, they used to roll up the sidewalks in the winter season. Folly has now become a year round destination. Several new restaurants opened this winter and even in the down economy Folly is thriving. Our family loves the island and it's wonderful to see so many people enjoying our piece of paradise!
