About this property
Great Family Beach House and 5% off weekly stays, last minute or mobile booking!
Year round is wonderful at Folly Beach, and Dolphin Cottage makes a beach vacation in this eclectic little seaside town even better. Now through the end of the year, we are offering an additional 5% off for mobile bookings and/ or last minute booking (reservations made less than 14 days out of arrival date). Only one of these promotions is available, on top of a weekly stay.
The cottage is named after a dolphin that was rescued from inside the house after Hurricane Hugo, Dolphin Cottage offers a light, open space to relax with family and friends. Even better, canine family members are welcome too! The maximum number of pets is 2, and there is a non-refundable pet fee of $150.00 for one pet and $200.00 for 2 pets. This goes towards extra cleaning and pest control services. Thank you for understanding!
The kitchen, dining, and living areas come together under a vaulted ceiling, and a wall of windows overlooks a secluded garden where the large deck flows through the tropical greenery. Bamboo floors and bright colors with whimsical accent walls hand-painted by the owner create a cool and easy place to spend a vacation.
The combination of quality linens, a king in the master bedroom, a queen bedroom, and two twins bedroom, ensures a good night’s sleep. The two artistically-decorated full baths are generously-sized. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking and sharing meals together, and the private garden deck offers a shady respite from the sun and an outside grill. There is also a washing and dryer.
Only a few blocks to the beach, playground, tennis courts, pickleball and Center Street, with shops and restaurants. This house is the perfect location for being in the mix of everything that is Folly Beach. And of course, historic Charleston is only 12 miles away, where you can admire the architecture, soak up the city's vibrant history, view art exhibits, and even book a pirate tour with the whole family.

The house was perfectly located to walk to the beach and to town! Also really appreciated being able to bring the fur babies. The yard was perfect for them. Loved our stay!
This was a very nice place to stay while visiting Folly Beach. The house was well stocked with necessities and super clean. It was also very close to the beach.
The house is a very short walk to a nice portion of the beach. The house is charming and decorated as a beach house. We enjoyed the entire stay and plan to choose that house again next year when we return to Folly Beach.

That is wonderful! We would love to have you all back. Everyone really enjoys the artwork and coziness of the cottage, I am glad you would like to return. We enjoyed living there for years and it is nice to share with others. Take care! Darlynne
Perfect for our group of 5. Super comfortable, clean and within walking distance to all our favorite folly spots. Hope to stay here again.

A good stay!
Was looking for a property right by the ocean, so a map picture or aerial picture would it help to know I was going to stay 3 blocks from the beach!

We are so glad you stayed with us! That is a great idea to show an aerial photo since not everyone reads the description. Now all we need to get is a drone. Hope to have you back, since we are walking distance to Center Street and the beach!
Wonderful, cozy home that had lots of nice home-y touches and was ideally situated with an easy walk to the beach or to the shops/restaurants. We enjoyed the pirate mermaid festival on the Main Street and loved the cute nautical themed rooms with little fish everywhere. The kids especially loved being there and were super sad to leave when check out day arrived. We would definitely rent this place again if it’s available the next time we are in the area.
We loved our cute little home away from home on Folly Island. Dolphin Cottage had everything we needed and was a quick walk to the beach and main part of town. We had a blast!
Perfect location with easy walk to the beach and town. Well appointed cabin with lots of homey touches. We did not have to purchase or bring any basic supplies which was much appreciated. We had such a great time with our grandkids and 10/10 hope to stay here again.
The place was everything we could've hoped for - well stocked, private, and very comfortable! The host was very responsive as well. We would definitely stay here again!
The property is as advertised. Dolphin Cottage is in an excellent location. A quieter section of beach is just steps away, as well as plenty of dining options. The property is clean and comfortable, with ample space for a family stay. We had an amazing weekend! We would definitely stay again.
This was a high school graduation trip for my granddaughter and her best friend. Her mother and I went along. The house was wonderful! The area could not have been better. Location was perfect.
We loved coming back to Dolphin Cottage for the 3rd time. It was nice to be able to bring our dog. The house was very comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen is functional and has everything you need. The location is great - easy walking distance to the beach, Bert's, and Center Street. Looking forward to returning.
We loved the location being just a couple blocks from center street and a couple blocks from the beach access. House was equipped with everything you need and more- additional bathroom hygiene items, greatly stocked dishes and kitchen items, etc. The deck and the yard was WONDERFUL- looked so much bigger in person. We loved the additional items for the beach- such a sweet touch in case you forgot to bring an item for yourself or kids. The owners were easy to contact. We had a great time!!!
The Dolphin Cottage was the perfect place for our trip. It was very clean, spacious, and the backyard was a lovely place to spend the mornings drinking coffee.

About the host
Hosted by Darlynne Pecorelli
My husband and I moved to the area, built our careers and then renovated a sailboat and took off sailing. Along the way, we had our first daughter, moved back to Folly Beach and raised our family. We moved away, living in Philadelphia for my husband's job but we moved back to the area a few years ago. We were able to keep our beach house and are now able to rent out to fortunate vacationers, such as yourself, to enjoy Folly Beach.
Why they chose this property
We moved to Folly Beach in the early 90's and immediately fell in love with the area. We bought Dolphin Cottage and took several years to renovate and modernize, while still maintaining the cottage charm of it's original construction in the 1930's. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
We offer high speed internet - 940Mbps, it is recommended for serious online gamers and home office power users. We have a Smart TV and offer Netflix. Only a few stairs to climb to access this 1 story cottage and a completely fenced in yard for privacy!
