Please include the breed and size of your dog when you inquire.

Hire a carpenter!

The house was clean and very easy access to the beach. The bottom front step was a potential trip. The back screen door was falling apart. The back deck was tilted and sinking. The "firepit" was a pile of broken cement blocks. Invest in some professional carpentry

Surf shack vacation

LOVED the surf shack. Perfect size for our family. Steps from the ocean. Close enough to Folly amenities and restaurants to walk but far enough to keep some distance during noisy weekend nights. A perfect oasis we are still dreaming about. We will be back! Thanks for a great stay.

This property is on the main road but I did not hear the traffic while in the house! Just a block from the beach and 3 blocks from the main intersection on the island. Loved the Jack and Jill bathroom with the bedrooms. Great little weekend getaway! Thank you so much!

Early check in

This was a nice place & close to everything at Folly Beach. Was disappointed that we weren't allowed to enter the property early. Driving from a long distance we arrived approx. 2 hours early & the property was vacant, no cleaning crew etc., we had to sit in the driveway & wait. Don't see the harm/risk of letting us in early.

Cute house. Miserable bed.

The house itself was cute. But the bed was so lumpy and uncomfortable that we actually let a day early because we couldn't bare another night trying to sleep on the bed. The window blinds were all torn up as well.

Perfect location!

This is the cutest little cottage and a perfect location on Folly. There are lots of nice windows and a screen porch. The house is decorated comfortably and is very clean. A side note: The floors are uneven and almost wavy in places which is very difficult for someone who suffers from vertigo but if that doesn’t apply to you, they are original and in an original surf cottage that is charming.

Clean and cozy

The house was really nice and cozy. I loved the screened in porch. The house was very clean. There were alot more supplies than I thought there would be. I loved that it had alot of the privacy from the trees even though we were so close to everything. The limbs do need trimming around the deck area.

Cozy Bungalow

My wife and I enjoyed a few days away at the Surf Shack. We particularly enjoyed the screened in porch. We spent a lot of time there enjoying each others company while reading and soaking in the scenery. The Surf Shack is just a few hundred yards from the 3rd street beach access and we had a nice surprise of beach chairs to take down to the beach for fun in the sun and surf. You are just a short walk from all the restaurants and bars, as well as Burt’s Market, the local grocery store. Like the other reviews, we found the shower a bit small and a little tricky to dial in the hot water, but overall a fun little bungalow for a enjoyable stay at Folly Beach.

Great!

Enjoyed our stay. Perfect for my husband & I. Older home with lots of character. Just a short walk to the beach & a short walk to the restaurants & shops. We had a fantastic stay. Just FYI- we have a tall truck & had to park away from the door because small tree branches hanging down scratched the roof of the cab. In the master bedroom, 2 slats within the blinds were broken- which we just placed paper towels over the holes at night- definitely not a deal breaker. Easy fixes. We absolutely loved our stay.

Perfect for our family

Great location - steps away from the beach, easy walk to Berts, easy walk to all the restaurants downtown Folly, and still feels quiet and secluded. The oak tree adds so much to the property, giving it that old island feel. House was well appointed and our family of 3 had no issues having only one bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!

Clean, comfortable and convenient!

Great location, close to the public access to the beach. The beach house was clean and the bed comfortable. Great place for a couple or small family. Close to the center of Folly Beach with restaurants. The kitchen was adequately equipped, but a little sparse with staples. Be sure to bring your own coffee filters, napkins and whatever spices you need for cooking. Or, just enjoy the restaurants close by.
