Dog Friendly

Enjoyed our stay at Heron house & was happy we were able to bring our fur babies with us. Had our morning coffee on the screened in porch & was a great place to relax. Restaurants and beach within close proximity & were dog friendly as well. Took a day to explore Charleston (only a 20min ride).

Renovation Vacation

We stayed in Folly while our upstairs floors were being redone. It was a great break from our regular routine. Being able to bring our pup with us was an added bonus. She loved the backyard and walks on the beach. We were able to see the marsh land and hear the waves. So many great porches and perfect cozy nooks! we highly recommended staying here!

Perfection in Folly Beach

We loved our stay here. The house was very clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. We had a very small issue when we first arrived...the toilet was leaking a little bit..the property management team was over to fix this within 15 minutes. Other then that, everything else was excellent. A very nice place to stay while in Folly Beach

We stayed for 4 nights in late August, two adults, three young kids. The place was great. Exactly as advertised. Great communication from the property management. Easy check in and out process. There were some communal beach accessories available, which was very helpful for kids (shovels/buckets/body boards). Also the marsh view from the screened in verandah was beautiful at sunset. We would certainly stay there again!

Perfect spot on Folly!

There are numerous positives about this property —great location close enough to walk but far enough from the hubbub —lovely and comfortable main room —really nicely decorated—felt like staying in someone’s home vs many VRBOs that can feel sterile. This one has great style and feels loved —excellent porch for chilling —bedrooms were great and beds comfortable —yard and as perfect for a dog 🐶 —quiet street with little traffic —kitchen is spacious and well stocked —many nice touches (tp back stock, laundry and dish soap) —discount in bike rental —attentiveness of the team managing the place was great 😊 The beach chair selection was not great so bring your own or rent. Bathrooms were clean but not particularly spacious—small showers. Overall this is an excellent property and we had a great stay.

Would not return-pet owners beware

House was nice but surrounding homes were very run down. Nice view of marsh but several blocks to beach & even further to main street in town. nothing there to do during rainy day. a few games or deck of cards would have been appreciated. Also pet area full of mosquitos after rain so had to crate pet inside. Had issue with partial refund of deposit being kept due to dog waste being left in yard-which was NOT the case-we were very responsible pet owners & cleaned up after our pet so pet owners beware-not really pet "friendly"

Dear Kris, This is Robin Bessent, the owner of Swabbies Place. I am so sorry you have decided that Swabbies Place was less desirable than you had counted on. Sue, our assistant and housekeeper, works very hard to keep all three of those cottages in absolute top shape, even during the very busy summer season. The neighborhood to which you are referring, has many new very expensive homes in excellent shape, as well as a fun eclectic mix of classic original cottages dating as far back as the 1930's. I do not know of any in that area that I would consider "run down". We love the sweet nostalgic flavor of our island. Swabbie's Place Cottage is located in a quiet residential area, a 2 minute walk to the beach and 6 blocks from Center Street in downtown Folly. If you found this to be too far for you to stroll, please remember there are bicycles and golf carts available for rent from several venders on the island. They will even deliver them right to you door. Thank you for the suggestion for us to buy a deck of cards. It has been our experience that most guests appreciate the fact that we provide 2 TVs with many cable channels, reading materials, and wifi free of charge. If you would like to have purchased a few games there are several shops on Center Street which carry a wide variety. Our favorite store to recommend is the classic "Mr Johns Beach Shop" located at 20 Center Street, which is a 6 block stroll from the house, and is where we purchased the complementary box of Salt Water Taffy we had waiting for you as your welcome gift. Our cottages are best described as "Pets Considered", not Pet Friendly. We welcome , well behaved dogs and responsible pet owners on a case by case basis, who are mindful of their surroundings and leave the house and grounds as they found them. You are obviously upset that we chose to charge $25 clean up fee, for the several piles of dog poop that were found immediately upon your departure, in the enclosed area of the fenced-in back yard. No other animals have access to that area, and we have provided a dog waste station 2 feet from where one of the large piles of dog poop was found. Our housekeeper goes to great lengths to make sure every renter, and their pets, are comfortable, and the cottages are in excellent shape upon your arrival. The many excellent reviews we have received have confirmed our commitment to providing quality rentals. We hope you enjoy the rest of your summer.

Lovely and Well appointed, close to beach!

We were thrilled with this property. Spacious, beautifully appointed, very close to the beach, and in a quiet stretch of Folly. It's a little bit of a hike into town, but it's a short drive and that's part of what makes it so pleasant, the beach was GORGEOUS and uncrowded, and the place has a view of the marshes, super pretty.

Wonderful beach beauty!

The house was beautifully decorated and immaculate. Plenty of space for a family to hang out together, but find quiet places to relax. The porch was so relaxing with a great swing bed! Kitchen was outfitted for any level of cook with a gourmet oven and the extra of a selection of spices to use (always nice to not have to pack or purchase salt, pepper, etc!) Lovely little yard for kids or pups to play. Easy walk to the beach or marsh.

Had a blast

We went down for my daughter to run the Charleston half marathon - which got cancelled due to covid. However, we rented a golf cart and she ran 13 miles on Folly while we followed her and we had a blast. The house is awesome. Plenty of places for people to sit while still being together. The back yard feels like you are in the tropics. The landscaping is beautiful!

Everything and more!

Property was perfect for us. Looked for a place that gave 3-4 different areas that family could work remotely while at Folly. Also needed to be able to host small extended family gathering after our grandson’s baptism. Everything we needed was supplied. Great WiFi, bedding, linens, towels, kitchen, furniture. Extremely clean inside and out. Owners have thought through everything to make your stay wonderful. Really loved the fenced in back yard. Property manager, Folly’s Best Rentals, so friendly and. accommodating. Give this rental 10 stars!!

Cutest house ever!

My husband & I and our 12 yr old daughter & her best friend (and our 2 dogs) stayed for Easter/Spring Break. The house is even cuter than the pictures online. It's on the west side of the island which has great old shade trees so the streets are perfect for walks/runs. 2 blocks from the beach & two blocks from the park with playground, basketball, tennis and a dog park. The backyard is beautifuly landscaped & was great for the dogs. We would stay here again for sure!

Wonderful Home!

We loved staying at this home. Nice view of the marsh from the screened in porch with a very comfy swing and rocking chairs. Easy walk to beach with wonderful access. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything you’d need to cook with... even a garlic press and muffin pans!! The walk to town was .8 of a mile. Very doable walk as parking is not always easy to find in the heart of Folly. If you have a large gathering with multiple families, there are 2 smaller cottages right behind this property that is designed to be social with them. This neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again! :)
