Best Beach Retreat

The Fiddler Crab is the cutest cottage in the best location on the island. Steps from the beach and close to town but not too close to be bothered by the crowds. We definitely found our new favorite beach house and can’t wait to come back.

Perfect for our weekend getaway!

The lovely bungalow was the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday! With beach access just steps away and restaurants/shopping a walkable distance...the Fiddler's Crab was a good choice. The kitchen was apportioned to make an easy breakfast and lunch. Lots of hot water for showers; comfortable bed. Occasional traffic noise, but an easy trade for the great location. Charleston was a manageable drive away. Also enjoyed a 4 mile walk through James Island County Park.

Perfect home base for a couple

We spent ten nights at this delightful home. It was a return visit to Folly Beach for us. Contactless check in worked perfectly, and upon entering, we found the house in pristine condition - totally clean with linens and bath towels presented tastefully. The kitchen was generously equipped but not cluttered. Sitting area was very comfortable and the two collapsible snack tables hidden at the side of the frig added plenty of surface area for dining or snacking. The shower is huge and amazing after a day in the sun. Can't go wrong with this little gem barely a block from the beach entrance. Home is within walking distance of the center of town but definitely suggest doing so on the beach. The roads are very narrow with little space for walkers, and cars speed by without regard. If using a golf cart, be advised parking and use downtown is heavily restricted as are hours of use. Only thing we would suggest to make it even more perfect - a couple of beach chairs and an umbrella. Also, area rugs in the bathroom and kitchen area seriously in need replacement. We heartily thank the owners for sharing their home!!

Great Fall Getaway

We loved Fiddler Crab…super clean, the bathroom was spacious with a huge shower and two vanities, which is a plus! Great location for beach time. Two things that would make guests feel more comfortable would be putting blinds on kitchen windows, door, and side living area door and changing the lock on the side living room area so that the door can be opened from the inside. We can tell Fiddler Crab is a well kept place, and we would love to come back!

Just Beachy!

My wife and I have stayed at a number of properties at Folly Beach over the years and we loved this cottage. Great location, away from Main St, and just a block from the beach. Lots of nice touches inside, and enjoyed coffee in the morning on the small porch. An enormous walk-in shower. We had a problem accessing the Wi-Fi network when we checked in. They brought us a Verizon Hot spot device the next day which worked fine for the rest of our stay.

Property nice location but overpriced.

Location to beach great, would have appreciated beach chairs like owners usually supply especially when beach property. Furniture worn and dirty looking, did not even feel comfortable sitting on it. Kitchen stocked sufficiently to prepare several meals there but would have appreciated a small table and chairs to eat meal at. Between noisy road and mattress don't expect to get alot of sleep. Expected a lot more for what we paid. Cute little cottage with emphases on little but sufficient for a couple.
