Welcome to Swell Cottage! Awesome Second Row Folly Beach with great ocean views.
Fantastic house with large fenced yard, across the street from beach and walkover. Two blocks from local market, four blocks from Folly pier and center of town. Protected outside shower with hot and cold water to wash off the sand between your toes! Great ocean views from two decks. Enclosed back porch/sunroom just off the kitchen which leads down to the grill. We also provide baby equipment (high chair, baby gates, pak'n'play) so it is one less thing to pack. Spacious eat-in kitchen with a great farm table which seats 8 people and updated stainless appliances and granite counter tops. There is cable TV in the first floor bedroom, living room and 3rd floor. There is a nice GE washer and dryer in the sunroom/enclosed porch on the first floor. The house also has wireless internet service and central heat and air conditioning. There are children's beach toys, boogie boards and one beginner surfboard for tenants use as well as beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Avoid the hassle of the paid parking lots in town and park your car in the private off street parking at the house. There's no need to drive to explore all the cute shops and restaurants since it's an easy stroll to Center Street and the Folly Beach Pier. Our yard is large by beach standards and completely fenced. There are double gates at the driveway entrance which are able close. There is an outdoor propane grill to eat all the great beach cookout meals.
There is a separate storage area for house keeping use only. This space is not occupied or for rent and is not included in the square footage of the rental house.

Just returned from an awesome week at Swell Cottage. Located right across the street from the beach and an easy walk to downtown restaurants. It was clean and had everything we needed. Would totally recommend.
This property did not disappoint. It was perfect space for our family of 3 couples. View of ocean from relaxing porch areas. Easy walk to the sand. Short walk to downtown for dinners.
We loved the house! Conveniently located just a few steps from the beach, and so many restaurants on Folly. The house was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked. Owners responded to all of our questions, and check in was easy! We would definitely come back!
This house was amazing!! Easy 10 min walk to everything, right across from the beach, and had everything you'd need for a vacation (sunscreen, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, etc.)
Family of 5 staying at the Swell Cottage. More than enough space with a surprise loft we were not aware of. Short 1 minute walk to the beach. Stunning views from the patio, comfortable furniture, great AC in the summertime, and plenty of kitchen appliances/grill. We couldn’t say enough great things about this place!
Our family has been coming to Folly for the past 30 years and we really like staying as close to the ocean as possible. This house is in a fantastic location. We were right across the street from the beach access and could easily see and hear the water from the porch. We loved sitting on the spacious deck, part of which is covered, which was convenient. The yard is huge, parking is ample (enough for at least 4 cars), the house was clean and pretty. AC worked great, including in the enclosed side porch. We absolutely loved staying here and would stay here again in a heartbeat. It is an older home and is multi-level, so keep that in mind if anyone has mobility issues. We could think of nothing lacking! Great vacation!
We came here for my sisters bachelorette and we couldn’t recommend this house more! Right across from the beach and the house was stunning and had everything we needed! 10/10 communication from the host as well. Thank you!
Basically every review on this house is exceptional, and with good reason. It’s the perfect beach house for a getaway with kids..the ocean is steps away, restaurants are down the street and the house is exactly as advertised. Lynn is very easy to work with, and we had zero complaints. Stay here if you can.
My family loved this place! Awesome location for a family vacation. Close enough to the main strip to walk to everything but far enough away to miss the sound
I booked this beautiful place to ring in my forties with my sister and best friends. It was clean, comfortable, and convenient! Would definitely stay again.
We had an amazing stay at the Swell Cottage. Everything was better than advertised. The location was perfect - just steps from the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shops. There was plenty of space for our family of 7. The beach amenities (chairs, umbrellas, boards, toys, mats, cooler etc.) made our beach vacation seamless. This was the first time we didn’t have to buy or rent things for the week. Lynn communicated everything clearly and was so geneelus. We can’t wait to return next year!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Swell Cottage. From the accommodations to the location it made for an excellent vacation at the beach while visiting our daughter. Highly recommend!
A perfect place for a family to stay and enjoy the best of the beach and all Folly Beach has to offer. Steps away from a great beach that doesn't get too crowded.
My friends and I stayed at the cottage for a long weekend and had a great time! The location was great and we really enjoyed going to the beach. Lynn was a great host and very accommodating!

About the host
Hosted by Keith and Lynn Merrill
Why they chose this property
Very unique house. We love the palm trees growing up through the front porches. Multi-level so family members can spread out and maybe have some quiet time in the sunroom or just sit on the many decks and see the ocean.
What makes this property unique
Parking is always a problem at the beach. We have our own private off road driveway and a separate parking pad outside the back porch. This house is an original beach house that has been renovated over the years. Beautiful enclosed yard and the beach is just across the street. We also have baby equipment (pak’n’play, high chair, baby gates) to make life easier when traveling with little ones.
