Don't miss the opportunity to stay in the heart of the island in this spacious 2 bed/2 bath cottage! A simple 2–5-minute walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, rentals, bars, and only 200 steps to Bert's 24-hour market.

Your comfort is important to us! Sweet Coralina sleeps 6 in a unique 5 bed option unlike any other Folly rental: 1 split King adjustable bed, 1 Queen, 1 Twin XL, & 2 Twin pull outs.

All linens provided (bed, bath, beach), Beach gear, a full kitchen, & a washer/dryer!

City Dining
If you're looking to go out and explore, you're only 5 minutes away from Center Street - the heart of the action on the island. With a variety of options such as steak, seafood, sandwiches, Italian, Mexican, American, and other cuisine, Folly offers enough variety to satisfy any palette! Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore and indulge in the delicious food options Folly has to offer.

Nightlife
Spend the rest of your evening enjoying everything that Folly's social life has to offer. The bar scene provides a variety of island drinks along with the friendliest mix of multi-generation tourists and locals. Bar hopping will give you a variety of great conversation, people-watching, and a wide selection of live music to dance the night away. In addition to music, establishments offer various activities such as karaoke, piano entertainment, trivia, and bingo are scattered among the island's local establishments. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the vibrant social life that Folly has to offer!

As you return the few blocks home, stop by Bert's for a midnight snack or night-cap beverages. Then head to the sunroom, dim the lights, and in the still of the night, open the windows and listen to the waves. 

Water Activities
Folly boasts a variety of other activities such as fishing, sailing, and dolphin watching charters, surfboard, kayak, golf cart, and paddle board rentals, beach combing, shelling, and shark-tooth hunting.

Other opportunities
Rent a golf cart (several rental options within a block of Sweet C), head 4 miles east to the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve or 2 miles west to the Folly Beach County Park. There are two children's playgrounds on Folly, and also a tennis court. (Rackets and various other sporting equipment may be included in the shed.)
While you can spend your entire vacation without leaving the island (or getting in your car), visiting the surrounding areas offers many more beautiful, historical, educational, and memorable vacation opportunities. Don't miss out on the chance to explore the nearby areas and create unforgettable memories. There's so much to see on the island, but the activities are endless around the entire Charleston area.

See the 400-500 year old Angel Oak tree on John's Island and many things in Charleston. Choose from sight-seeing boat tours/harbor cruises, horse-drawn carriage tours, museums, Fort Sumter, South Carolina Aquarium, and a variety of ghost/haunted & historic tours (walking, bus, and boat.) 
Charlestoncitypaper.com has great search filters to find events and activities that meet the tastes of you and your guests.

Your stay will include use of a free electronic guidebook providing you with useful information on the house, but also about the area and a restaurant guide. Make it your goal this Summer to say, "it's almost Folly time!"?

** Folly Beach is a smaller residential community with full-time residents and VERY strict and new short-term rental ordinances. My place is very convenient to downtown and the beach, but also among residents. It's perfect for multi-generation families, couples, laid-back friends, seniors, and business travelers, but not so much for the "here to party" groups. **

This wonderful cottage is just as described. Clean, well stocked with anything you need. Enjoyed sitting on the side porch for morning coffee and evening relaxing. Perfect accommodations, walking distance to wonderful restaurants, shopping and beach. Read about the Morris Lighthouse and enjoyed the graffiti walk to the beach area. Easy drive to Charleston and Mount Pleasant. Enjoyed lunch in Shem Creek too. Couldn’t have asked for a better visit and stay at Folly Beach and surrounding area. Would definitely stay here again. Also, the host is responsive and was spot on with recommendations.

PERFECT house for a visit to Folly! Within easy walking distance to beach, Bert’s Market, restaurants and Center Street! Easy drive to Charleston or several larger grocery stores.Immaculately clean and had everything needed to cook. Lots of choices of games and a perfect table for playing or putting together a puzzle while chilling! Nice fire pit in the back yard. Wood is available to purchase at Bert’s Market which we took advantage of. Plenty of towels and linens and very comfortable beds as well. Owner is easy to contact and very responsive to a question we had. She made sure everything was perfect. You will definitely enjoy your stay and visit to Folly staying in Sweet Coraline!

A cheat code for Folly

Steps from the beach & Bert’s 24-hour market means more time in the surf! Host has provided many thoughtful touches and supplies for a great time on the beach. We especially appreciate the outside shower! Fire pit and grill were great in the evenings. Adjustable bed in the master bedroom was soooo comfy! Host was super responsive and we had a great time. Thanks!

Wonderful Getaway

First off amazing stay! This is the cutest house with LITERALLY everything you will need. There was more than enough room for our family of five! The beds are so comfy, rooms are spacious, and plenty of games for family fun! Beach is super close and the available chairs/umbrellas/wagon was a plus in my book. House is close to eating, shopping, and the pier-so nice to walk to everything. Check-in was a breeze along with check-out. As a mom I was so happy to have washer/dryer-which made getting home relaxing! We will definitely stay again as this was one of the best vacation spots we have ever stayed at!

Nice and Relaxed Vacation!

We were really enjoyed our vacation in Folly Beach. The property's location was two blocks walking to the beach, the pier and main street of Folly Beach. It also provided easy access driving to downtown Charleston and other islands nearby. The property was cleaned and had everything we need, and the host, Tammy, was very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy

Host profile image
Hello and thanks for reading!
Why Folly? I visited Folly Beach once and I was I hooked and quickly found myself searching for property. Besides the obvious of the beach, ocean, sunrises, sunsets, and restaurants, it's the people I have run into in the area that make it even more special.
During your stay, my home will be your home! Since I enjoy comfort, relaxation, tranquility, simplicity, cleanliness, and a tad of luxury, I wouldn't expect my guests to have a different experience.
I am a frequent traveler so I know the importance of a stay that truly feels like a home away from home. I've had so many experiences in my stays that I am excited to share the positives and attempt to prevent the negatives in Sweet Coralina.
While you may not see me, I will personally be handling most communications with you with some of local friends assisting in any on-site property needs.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location for one! A clean open concept cottage that also offers a large sun-room to give you and your guests some separate lounging quarters. Some can catch a movie in the living room (or bedrooms), board games at the dining end, and a book reader or social gathering in the wicker social area. It's big enough to not feel cramped, and laid out to give separation for multiple activities. And it's THE BEST for people watching on the corner of a beach access path and 1.5 blocks from downtown.

What makes this property unique

Sweet CORALina is an adorable cottage with an charming beach vibe feel. I immediately fell in love with the sun room, the all white, striped-wood cottage walls and the open concept living/kitchen area. I also appreciate the ample on-site parking available.
It's a 2....TWO MINUTE walk to the beach, a few hundred steps to Bert's, and 5-10 minutes to dozens of bars and restaurants!
