Very cute property that had everything we needed for a fun getaway weekend! It’s not far from the beach, and Teresa had lots of extra beach items (wagon, chairs, towels, etc) that was so helpful since we had flown in. There is no laundry on site, but that was no problem since we were only there for a few days. Would definitely recommend this property, and Teresa as a host!

This stay in Folly Beach was truly one of those rare finds that checks every box. From the moment of arrival, the space felt incredibly welcoming—thoughtfully designed, warm, and effortlessly comfortable. It had that perfect balance of being stylish and cozy without ever feeling overdone. It genuinely felt like being at home, which made it so easy to settle in and fully relax.One of the standout aspects was the location. Being just a short walk to the beach made everything feel easy and convenient, whether heading out for a morning walk along the shore or catching sunset in the evening. That proximity alone would have made this place worth it, but the home itself elevated the entire experience.The attention to detail throughout didn’t go unnoticed. Everything felt intentional and well cared for, which added to the overall sense of comfort. A small but memorable highlight was the dog washing station—such a thoughtful and unique touch, especially after a sandy beach day. It’s those kinds of details that really set this property apart from others.Overall, this place felt like a hidden gem—peaceful, charming, and incredibly well put together. It’s the kind of spot you almost want to keep to yourself, but it’s too good not to share. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located, and genuinely comfortable place in Folly Beach.

The location of the Lil Pearl is excellent. It's an easy walk to Center Street and the beach. But the immediate area is quiet. The house is very cozy and cute and most importantly, clean. The little extras such as snacks and toiletries as well as plenty of towels were an added bonus. We had a great time and a relaxing vacation!

The kitchen was fully equipped. The host was outstanding, helpful, and even checked with us physically when we encountered a problem with city heavy equipment working on the driveway. This was a one-time event. The upside was meeting the host personally and being able to be in contact with her by phone. The chiminea had a supply of sticks to burn too.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad you enjoyed the kitchen and the chiminea, and I appreciate your understanding about the brief city work near the driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa L. Mincey

Host profile image
I am a Columbia, SC native but have lived in Folly Beach for the last 33 yrs. I raised 2 wonderful daughters on Folly Beach and just can't think of a better place to live. I almost want to keep it a secret but then I think everyone should experience little 'Mayberry by the Sea' or 'Edge of America' as it is coined.
I have been renting my long term properties for the past 35 years. However, I enjoy the vacation rental properties the most. It's so enjoyable meeting my guests and helping them have the best experience possible during their stay and being in the most beautiful spot that I know, Folly Beach. I love to share my favorite spots and experiences with my Guests at this little slice of heaven.

Why they chose this property

The "Lil Pearl" is convenient, simple, comfortable, clean, fresh, fun, tasteful, affordable, and just 'Folly'. Not a "resort style cookie cutter". I never liked those much, what so ever.
Real elegance comes in a much simpler fashion.

What makes this property unique

Boat dockage on the Folly Inlet may be available for use depending on your reservation dates.
One of the few "Folly" Cottages left ie., NO STEPS!
