About this property

Updated 1940s Beach Bungalow - Minutes from the Ocean, Berts & Center St

We are offering our bungalow on VRBO that is located just five houses past the famous Bert's, two blocks from Center St and a short three minute walk to the ocean! Our original 1940's Folly Beach Bungalow has been completely renovated with all modern conveniences. It features two bedrooms and two completely updated baths (see pictures). The updated kitchen features a Viking Glasstop Stove and granite countertops. Also, provided for your comfort, is a tankless hot water heater, central heat/air and new washer/dryer. The living room and both bedrooms have large screen televisions for your enjoyment. Also, there is also a comfortable Pottery Barn sofa/queen sleeper which can be used for extra guests! In addition to the sofa/sleeper, there is a "swing bed" on the sun porch for napping or sleeping...
The Bungalow comes fully equipped with linens, towels, hair dryers, and all needed kitchen utensils, including coffee pot, toaster oven, blender, slow cooker, etc. Cable TV and free Wi-Fi are also included.
Our location is excellent! The bungalow is less than a 3 minute walk to the ocean and a short two blocks to downtown Center Street - which is the Heart of Folly. Center street boasts quirky little beach stores; locally owned restaurants and bars. Also, a short half block away is the famous Berts Market - If you need it, you can find it there. And if you know anything about Folly - you know Bert's Market may Doze....but they never close! Recreational areas, including pickle ball and tennis courts are also located near by. A trip to Folly must include a visit to the historic Morris Island Light House, located on the east end of the island and a visit to the Folly Beach County Park on the west end.
No visit to Folly is complete without visiting historic Downtown Charleston, which is only a 12 mile drive.
After a full day in the sun or sightseeing, you can relax on our all-season front porch. The swing bed is perfect for napping or to people watching - I guarantee you - it's always interesting sights going by!
Our friends and family have always loved our place....we hope you love it as much as all of us!

The house was the perfect place for us to spend the week in Folly. The location ideal for walking to the beach or to center street. The house was clean and inviting. Everything was well stocked and it felt like home for a week. The perfect vacation house. We can’t wait stay there again.

We loved our stay here. The property was very clean and well maintained. You can tell that the owners really put a lot of thought into the property - it was well-furnished and well-appointed - kitchen was well-stocked with cookware for whatever you might need to make. The house was cozy and comfortable - it honestly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again.

PERFECT! The house was amazing, and had everything our family of four needed and then some. The location was perfect, just a block from the beach in one direction and to our favorite restaurant in the other. The hosts were incredibly responsive to our every need. Probably the best VRBO experience we've ever had. Thank you!

Folly beach Bungalow

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful chic bungalow. The place was spotless, so nicely updated and had a really perfect floorplan. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and we all had our own space. The location was so perfect, just literally 5 minute easy walk to the beach. The photos don’t do this place justice, it has so much more space and charm than you see in the photos. Diane was so nice and communicative, responded quickly and was the perfect host. We will be back for sure!!

Our family of four from NYC has the best visit to Folly Beach thanks to Dianne and her adorable cottage. Both are gems. Steps away from the most beautiful beach as well as kitschy shopping makes this perfect for fun beach days. Our weather was perfect - just like everything else. :)

visiting daughter

We planned this trip to visit our adult daughter living nearby. She stayed a couple of nights with us and we were all charmed by this beautiful cottage and its comforts. Also, the owners have it stocked with everything you would ever need! (toothbrush, curling iron, blow dryer, lotion, coffee, soaps, sunscreen, wagon,umbrella (came in handy during a heat wave), chargers, chairs and even condiments. Loved that it was an easy walk to everything but super quiet and peaceful. We also loved the outdoor shower. We look forward to returning to this little piece of paradise.
