As it states in the listing, this is not a fancy updated beach house, but our little group of moms and daughters were quite charmed by this beach cottage! It’s an old house, but still was very clean. It had summer camp vibes, and we loved being right on the ocean- it’s even closer than it looks in the pictures! Owner responded immediately and communicated well with a few check in issues, and went above and beyond taking care of us. We hope we can come back someday and stay here again, it was such a lovely, relaxing time!
Great location! Beautiful beachfront views and able to walk to restaurants and shopping and to the pier for fishing. Property had everything we needed although we didn’t need to use the kitchen to cook so can’t speak to that. We would definitely stay again.
We had an amazing time. House was perfect - location, rooms, eveything. The AC was amazing!!!! Lol.
Alexandra was a great (and patient) host.
We will be back!
Our week was great in this house, fabulous location, beautiful beach. The house is old, needs maintenance, possibly the smallest shower I've ever had the displeasure to use. But not a deal breaker overall. Owner responded quickly with a few minor issues, was very nice.
This is our second time staying at this quaint cottage on the beach. We love the charm and vintage bones it has. Plenty of space and kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to prepare our seafood feasts. Also love that we didn’t feel at all crowded on the beach and had tons of beachfront space for all our chairs and stuff. I could go on and on but I’ll stop for now. Communication was amazing and house very clean! We will be back next year!
Perfect beach house vacation!!! (and we only live 30 mins away). We loved everything about this house and look forward to making it a yearly getaway! Exactly as described and Alex was quick and easy to communicate with. Location is fabulous and the house is just as described. The outdoor showers and storage under the house make it easy to keep the sand mostly out which is amazing with little kids. Already looking forward to next year.
Great place! Exactly as described.. affordable in a beautiful location!!
What a wonderful house… like a good old family cottage right on the beach. Folly beach is the greatest too… so glad we stayed there over Sullivan’s and Isle of palms.

Liked: Communication, location
Location is the reason to stay here
Excellent views up and down the beach and you can watch the sunrise from your bed (depending on room), the living/diining space or the deck. Furniture and beds are comfortable.
Be aware that due to severe beach Erik soon there was a 4’ drop from the end of the house walkway to the actual beach. Using the public access was slightly easier but still difficult for grandparents. People were digging their own “stairs” and hopefully this is resolved soon.
We found that mane electric sockets didn’t work and others were loose in the socket. Not much light in the dining area so we had to move lamps around to eat - which would be less of a problem in summer with longer daylight.
Bedroom closest to dining table has windows into dining space (clearly used to be the end of the internal space) and glass is broken in one pane which means person in that full bed should be last to bed, first to rise.
Also make sure to understand there is only one indoor shower and the little toilet room under the house is not heated.
The deck is wonderful for soaking up the sun and watching the waves - and that is what you are really paying for. No need to spend too much time indoors.
Overall it worked for our short trip (except the beach erosion problem which isn’t homeowners fault although adding a staircase over the dune as others have would solve that issue) and we were lucky to find anything on the beach and for this price. We just wanted grandma to watch the sunrise at the beach one more time.
Great spot for a weekend gathering with our college aged kids! Great location-about a 10 minute walk to Center Street. Funky older cottage with lots of character-not perfect by any means-but perfect if you are looking for a casual spot that you don't have to worry about ruining anything.
My family had a good time staying at this property, what really made it for us was the location. Right on the beach, only about a 15 walk to restaurants, bars and shops. We had plenty of room inside the house, listing was accurate and we expected the house to be older. Upon arrival the house wasn't filthy but the cleaners didn't do a great job at all. Giving 5 stars for the size of the house and amazing location, extra toilet and shower under the house was also a plus!
The pictures were very accurate. This is a rather rustic, older beach house. The location cannot be better. Folly Beach was a lot of fun with great restaurants, and the beach was the best I have ever experienced. I would stay again anytime! The only negative was that the cleaning staff could have done a better job.
Perfect location, the right number of beds, new flooring, love the deck, just needs a bigger table with umbrella and more chairs. Owner was very responsive and helpful!
Perfect amount of space for the 8 of us! I was worried about having only one bathroom on the main level but having an extra shower and toilet under the house solved that. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed (the coffee maker is a Keurig if you are shopping in advance)and communication with the owner was EXCELLENT! Being right on the beach was the highlight as we spent most of our time there. This house is not fancy or updated but homey and comfortable. The interior could use a fresh coat of paint, but over all we had an amazing time!
Had a great time! Plenty of room for 6 of us! Even with only one bathroom upstairs! Plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. Love being on the beach. The owner was very responsive and even let us check in early!!

Funky old cottage has still got it
Time is gradually wearing down this old beauty, but she still knows how to host a great weekend getaway. Minor electrical problems aside (that the owner is addressing), this is still a house full of comforts: new mattresses on the double beds; new patio furniture; new Keurig coffee pot (bring your own pods); new toaster oven; great outdoor showers; wonderful view from decks and living/dining rooms. You can feel the memories in this place while you and yours make memories of your own.

Amazing to be right on the beach
Perfect spot for my family for the Easter weekend. The house isn't fancy but being steps from the beach is amazing.

The perfect place to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy!
The architecture of this beach house takes you back in time, but it has all the amenities you need. Not fancy and not fussy either. A place to enjoy the beach and rejuvenate.

ideal Folly beach cottage
We so enjoyed our time in this beach house--it has a great location less than a mile from town and a quick hop down the boardwalk to the beach. There are plenty of lovely spots indoors & out to watch the waves. The cottage has a lot of old-school charm, including some quirks (mysterious extra doors, an impressively uneven floor) and was clean, bright, cheerful, and well-equipped (it seems the furniture has been updated since the VRBO photos were taken). Highly recommended for down-home family fun on the beach.
