Our host was so easy to contact and had great communication whenever needed. The house was clean and welcoming, in decor, comfort, fresh beds, towels, cookware, everything! It has a large back yard looking over the pond that has trees for shade and areas in the sun… us and our dogs used both areas often! The walk to the beach is so easy and close. It’s not overcrowded like a general access beach can be. It was just a pleasure to be there. Not many places allow larger dogs to be there. Folly Beach is so welcoming to dogs of all sizes! They can go on the beach, leashed, from 6 am-10 am in the morning and then 6 pm-8 pm in the evening, I think. Our Shady Shack was welcoming to our dogs also! They have doggie bags for poop and a trash container to put them in all in the backyard. There is a worn path around the backyard, where you can see that many dogs have been there and have done their rounds around the perimeter, like ours did! I just can’t recommend this charming house enough, especially if you have dogs that are over 30 lbs. It’s a great place to be at the beach, relaxing time with a pond and wildlife at the house and fun with your fur babies!
