Welcome to a Folly Beach treasure! Bursting with character and a timeless Folly vibe, Blue Flamingo is a wonderfully fun 4 bedroom 2 full bathroom home with easy beach access just steps away. Enjoyed by countless families and groups of friends over the decades, this beach house gem has been freshly updated under new ownership and management. While maintaining its vintage charm, including artwork original to the home, Blue Flamingo has been rejuvenated by new kitchen appliances, a renovated primary bathroom, new light fixtures, new window treatments, and many other upgrades throughout.
Blue Flamingo is a peaceful oasis as well as a perfect gathering place. A favorite hang-out spot for guests, the 30-foot screened front porch facing the ocean is wonderful for sipping morning coffee, reading, and enjoying company any time of day. With dining seating for eight and additional comfy chairs for simply enjoying the ocean view, the porch has been filled with much happy chatter and many celebrations over the years.
Blue Flamingo's expansive rear porch, providing yet another comfortable venue for entertaining, features a dining table that seats eight, a teak bar designed for four, and a gas BBQ grill. In addition, the deck has an inviting outdoor living room area accommodating eight or more guests. The home's bedrooms include a primary bedroom with a king bed and three guest rooms offering one king bed, one queen bed, and a retro bunk room with two twin beds. After a day at the beach, a fully enclosed outdoor shower a few steps down from the back deck and accessed from the drive-under is a delightful way to rinse off the sand and salt. A ping pong table, a second full-size fridge, and a laundry room with a side-by-side new washer and dryer are on the lower level. Parking at Blue Flamingo is a breeze, with ample off-street spaces in both the driveway and drive-under.
Blue Flamingo is ready to welcome back its guests who have already made cherished memories in this special place and to introduce new visitors who will get to know its charm and want to return year after year. Book your stay now and embark on a beach vacation that will leave you with lasting memories and a desire to return to Blue Flamingo time and time again.

Fabulous family beach house
The property was centrally located and more than fit our needs. The back deck and front porch were worth the price alone. It had a very well stocked fridge and the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing Folley Beach visit. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect beach cottage!
This cottage was perfect and so so CLEAN!!!! We're extremely picky about cleanliness and this place did not disappoint...10 out of 10! We loved how the owner kept the history and quaintness of the original cottage while updating in all the right places such as bathrooms and with decor.
The location was just right as well, right across from the beach and beach access. We will definitely stay here again!

Great Location Cool Vibe
Great location steps from the sand. Cool Vibe. It is an extremely clean, updated beach shack, with plenty of outdoor space to add to the size of the house. Everything was provided. They communicated very well and used text for easy access.

Cute House
Overall our stay was great! The house is smaller than we anticipated. We stayed with 4 kids and 2 adults. House was clean and well equipped. Only small issue we had was the toaster didn’t work but we didn’t bother to call manager. Little tight space for a family of 6 people but LOVED being steps from beach access!

Amazing property!
We loved staying here! We had 3 kids with us, aged 5-9. It was perfect for them! Beach access was close and quick to get to. The only issue we had was one of the windows in the bunk room didn’t lock. But I messaged the property manager, and they immediately offered to come have it taken care of. But our kids ended up in another bedroom so it wasn’t an issue. It was nice to have the promptness of having it fixed if we needed it! The property was very clean with many amenities provided that we hadn’t even thought of. The screened in porch was our favorite place to be! We would definitely stay here again!

Nice quant , comfortable house, close to beach.
The house is quant and clean. Well stocked. It has two nice decks, one is screened in. Beds are comfortable. The beach is about 80 steps from the front door, easy to get to. We got regular texts / emails from the property manager to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable.

Overall great experience
PROS:
1.Location - steps away from to the beach, quite neighborhood
2. Open deck screened porch, so you can be "Outdoor" even when it rains
3. Well equipped kitchen
CONS:
1.Not enough closet space to hang up clothes (mentioned previously by one of the reviers)
2. BBQ could not start due to broken igniter - we called rental agent, requested assistance but no-one showed up to fix the issue. We used the matches only to realize that we are lacking proper BBQ equipment.
3. Although house was overall clean,front porch was really dirty , seems like it was not mopped for months
Overall property is old, has kitschy Florida charm, but would have no problem coming again.

Perfect Family Get Away
Great location, easy beach access and lots of outdoor spaces. This cozy, old timey beach cottage was perfect for our family get together. From the screened in front porch to the large back deck and quaint interior, there was plenty of space to spread out. Exactly what we were looking for.

Casa Sandspur
This home was clean and was in a great location just across from the beach. It is dog friendly , however the yard around the house is full of sand spurs which made it very difficult for our dogs to use the yard. We had to constantly remove the stickers from their feet when they went outside. Also the sand spurs ended up getting on the rugs and in our feet.
