Charming Pet Friendly Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to beach

This cottage is ideally located for families and couples who want to come and go from the beach and downtown without driving, parking or walking very far. The beach access, directly across the street, is just 40 feet from the front steps. Restaurants and shopping area are just 3 blocks away. We are located at the corner of West Ashley Ave. and 4th Ave. - look for our aqua cottage with widows walk on the top.

One of Folly's original cottages, the Love Shack has been updated inside with creature comforts. But the large front deck is still our guests' favorite - as it puts you right in the Folly action with great views. You can see and hear the ocean from almost every room in the house - or listen to the ocean and feel the breezes. There's even a roof top deck over the porch if you want a panoramic view of the island.

This rental offers guests a combination of comfort and nostalgia that's getting harder to come by...we have aimed to preserve the same flavor we enjoyed as youngsters coming to the beach, before the era of condos and 'McMansions.' This property has 2 bedrooms and a large living area, both areas equipped with 42' flat screen TVs. Our cottage has approximately 650 square feet.

The living area and kitchen are open, divided by a bar/table/counter which is an old hatch door from a WWII Liberty Ship - refinished of course.

Folly Beach is a six mile long barrier island, and the closest beach to historic Charleston, South Carolina, 15 minutes on the Connector.

We welcome children of all ages and dogs. Our property is located on a corner lot. The backyard has a canopy of live oaks and is completely fenced. This home is not nearly as elevated as the newer ones; so there's only 10 steps from the back door to the yard. All these features make pet care and child care a lot easier. And don't worry about parking - we have 4 off street spaces at the back of the lot; and another in the front.

Super Stay - wish we had brought our pups

Great visit. Host was extremely accommodating. Perfect size and location. Home was well appointed and tastefully decorated. We left our pups at home but this is a super set up for anyone who wanted to travel with their fur family member. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay. The communication was excellent. The place was nice and the fenced in backyard was great for our dog. We walked to the shops and places to eat. The beach is a very short walk. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Folly.

Perfect little house in spot close to town

This is perfect dog friendly property for small family or couple with dogs. There is great fenced in backyard (no picking up poop on the beach) and is only a few blocks from the main drag. It is also right across from beach.

Perfect Getaway

Perfect location- just steps from the beach. The Love Shack was clean and had everything we needed. Great communication with GiGi in answering all our questions. The fenced in backyard was perfect for the dogs and relaxing. We grilled out the first night and played ping pong. Restaurants within walking distance. Beach was clean and relaxing. Couldn't ask for a cozier getaway.

Perfect!

We loved our stay! The house is super cute and comfortable. The location is great! It’s right across the street from the beach access point and a short trip to downtown. We had a golf cart but didn’t need it. We loved having morning coffee on the porch, and the fenced yard was great for our pup. Gigi is awesome! She made sure everything was perfect and it was easy to communicate with her. We hope to go back next year.

Location & Pet Friendly!

This property is hands down the best we've stayed at in FB. This little gem of a beach cottage has everything; nicely landscaped and fenced in back yard, views of the ocean from the front porch (don't foget the Widows Peak) and a quick walk to the beach. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen nicely appropriated and a gas grill. We were in heaven and will return.

Perfect Getaway

This property provided a wonderful getaway at Folly Beach. The check in process was easy and Gigi was highly responsive to questions during our stay. The property is across the street from beach access which made it easy to travel back and forth to the beach. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and the place was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this property!

Awesome Place!!

This vacation cottage was absolutely perfect. Had everything we needed, great location, extremely clean and tidy, everything was just perfect. Even down to the little things like ice in the freezer, USB receptacles for charging devices, dishwasher, coffee maker, shoe rack (sounds minor but just an example of this place being set up for you and ready to be a vacation home). The porches are amazing to sit and, spots with both sun and shade, just beautiful.

3rd visit! Love it even more

Love this precious beach cottage so much. It's nothing fancy, but has all the charm.... we adore the crow's nest on the roof, the large front porch, the fenced, dog-friendly back yard, the laundry room available downstairs in the basement, plenty of parking, the proximity to the beach and Center Street.... I could go on and on! We will be back!

Folly reunion

We have stayed in several other places in this neighborhood and they've all been great...but this one is really great due to the location (directly across from one of the Folly access paths),the huge elevated deck that was great for people watching and getting out of the rain if there was any, the lovely fenced-in back yard (great for the dogs), great parking out in back, to name a few of our fave amenities...the cottage itself was adequately equipped and, I have to mention this, the beds were super comfy! whether you are very familiar with Folly or not, you wouldn't be disappointed staying here! Also, Gigi (property manager) was super easy to get along with and communicate with if needed. There was work going on down at the beach where they were working 24/7 to rebuild and fill in with the sand and it did require the closing of the direct access path across from Love Shack but there was still another access a littles ways down the lane...
