We stayed at this property in May 2025 and again in Sept 2025. It needs some maintenance, air conditioner went out on us, screen around the door needs repair to keep bugs out, and spiders were frequently found in the bedroom.

Birthday getaway

This was our first time at Folly Beach, the cottage was as described, perfect size for two of us and our dog. Very clean inside and out, the property managers checked on us on our first day, very nice and polite. We went on tours during the day, walked the beach in the afternoon/ sometimes at night. The cottage is only a 20 minute drive to Charleston, and many other historic sights! We enjoyed ourselves, loved the Sea Glass Cottage!
