About the host
Hosted by Teresa L. Mincey
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!
