Island Center~minutes to both beach & town~Free ample parking~King Bed~Spacious!
Stay in the heart of Folly Beach at Sweet Coralina — a cozy, walkable 2‑bed/2‑bath cottage just a 2–5‑minute stroll to the beach, Center Street, restaurants, shops, rentals, and only 200 steps from Bert’s 24‑hour market. Park the car and enjoy the island on foot.
Sweet Coralina sleeps up to six guests with a unique five‑bed setup: a split king adjustable bed, a queen bed, a twin XL, and two twin pull‑outs. The home includes a full kitchen, living room, large sunroom, washer/dryer, all linens (bed, bath, and beach), and beach gear for your stay.
Dining & Local Flavor Center Street is just minutes away and offers a wide range of dining options — seafood, Italian, Mexican, sandwiches, pizza, and classic Lowcountry favorites. Whether you want a casual bite or a sit‑down dinner, Folly’s food scene has something for everyone.
Nightlife & Entertainment Folly’s nightlife is relaxed, friendly, and walkable. Enjoy live music, island cocktails, karaoke, trivia, or simply people‑watching at the local bars. The mix of locals and visitors creates a fun, easygoing atmosphere. On your way home, swing by Bert’s for a late‑night snack or drink.
Water & Outdoor Activities Folly Beach is known for its outdoor adventures: surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing charters, dolphin tours, sailing, beachcombing, shelling, and shark‑tooth hunting. Most rentals can be within walking distance (the boat ramp is about 5 blocks away.)
Exploring the Island While it's not necessary to access downtown, renting a golf cart can be a fun way to explore the island. Visit the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve, Folly Beach County Park, or one of the two playgrounds. Tennis courts and other recreational spots are also available for public use. Many guests spend their entire trip without ever leaving Folly — everything you need is close by. (Golf carts have strict limits; rent an LSV-Low Speed Vehicle will give you more options (driving at night, in the rain, and ON Center Street.)
Charleston & Day Trips If you want to explore beyond the island, Charleston is full of history, culture, and attractions. Popular options include the Angel Oak tree, Fort Sumter, harbor cruises, horse‑drawn carriage tours, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, and a variety of historic and ghost tours. CharlestonCityPaper.com is a great resource for events and activities during your stay.
Guidebook Your stay includes access to a digital guidebook with house information, local recommendations, and a curated restaurant guide to help you make the most of your trip.
Important Notes Folly Beach is a small residential community with full‑time neighbors and very strict short‑term rental ordinances. Sweet Coralina is close to downtown and the beach but located among residents. We welcome multi‑generation families, couples, laid‑back friends, seniors, and business travelers. The home is not suitable for groups looking to party.

This is our family’s new favorite vacation rental!! Perfect location in town-walk to live music and just a short path to the beach. The house is so cute and was immaculate upon our arrival. It’s also very well stocked-Tammy has thought of everything! She’s a wonderful host; you can tell she really cares about the property and wants her guests to enjoy their experience. We’ll be back!
We had an amazing stay at Sweet Carolina! This cute and cozy beach house had everything we needed (and more) for a comfortable and welcoming visit. The host communicated clearly ahead of time, which made for a smooth and easy stay. We didn’t have any issues come up during our visit, but we felt confident we could reach out if needed. For the price, the location truly couldn’t be better—fantastic beach access and close to restaurants, the grocery store, and shops. We’d absolutely stay here again!
This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The location was perfect for the beach and easy to get to Charleston. You can tell there was a lot of time and effort put into making this a great stay.

Thank you Melissa! We hope to have you as a return guest!
We were really happy with the place. The location can not be beat with the proximity to Bert's and the Beach. The house was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable too! Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time with our family, including two teenage boys, at this fantastic property! The house was immaculate, close to the beach and had all the amenities you need for a vacation stay!

Thank you for the review Julie! I would love to host you again if you find yourself back on Folly Island!

This home was great! Located a 2 minute walk to beach. Home had a fully stocked kitchen, nice furnishings, and more beach gear than you could carry. I would definitely book again.
Perfect location, nice house very well furnished, the whole family enjoyed the time there and the availability of beach gears was very much appreciated.
This charming beach home had everything we needed to enjoy several days in Folly! You can’t beat the location - the beach access was so close and such an easy walk. We parked our car and walked everywhere! Thank you for sharing your home.
Property was ideal for the 4 of us, and the owner (Tammy) responded within minutes for any questions/concerns we had. Location was better than we could have ever imagined, and we won’t hesitate to stay here again the next time we plan a trip to Folly Beach!
We enjoyed our stay at Sweet Corolina! The location was perfect. Truly an easy quick walk to the beach. We were happy there were beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. Great communication with the owner!
Tammy was super responsive, always responded fast and gave lots of ideas on what to do around the area. House was clean, kids had board games and toys (even cars!) to play with. Very close to the beach, just wish it was a tad warmer when we were there! Loved our stay!

I"m glad you enjoyed the extra touches. I like to have those little suprises, especially for the kiddos to discover on their own. :)
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.
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. Overall, it was a nice and relaxed vacation!

I am glad you enjoyed the house, the location, and Folly in general. It is a magical place.
Tammy was wonderful to work with and very easy to communicate with. You couldn’t ask for a better location-it was right across the street from the beach and you could walk downtown. The property itself was very clean and had plenty of towels. Air conditioning worked really well. Perfect for an adult getaway or even a family trip. Overall a great stay!

Thanks Kat for your wonderful review. Brand new central air conditioning was installed last month so I was very glad to hear this in a review! Please stay again!

This home was everything we could have wanted and then some. Very comfortable and convenient to the beach and town. Easy travel to Charleston and surrounding areas. Tammy was very prompt in returning our text, so appreciated ❣️
We would highly recommend Tammy’s home.
We stayed here for 6 weeks while renovating our home. It had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. The location is fantastic…so close to the beach and downtown Folly. We walked everywhere. Tammy is a wonderful host. Thanks for sharing your home.
The owner was incredibly helpful. There were no details left out. The walk from the home to the beach is so close. You’re right in the action of the beach happenings. Thanks for sharing your home.
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!

About the host
Hosted by Tammy
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 self-manage and most often, it will be me directly you are communicating with, not a rental agency!
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location! Sweet Coralina is located in one of the most walkable areas of Folly Beach, surrounded by full‑time residents and just steps from everything the island offers. A public beach path runs directly beside the house—turn left and cross Ashley Avenue to reach the sand in about 1.5 blocks, or follow the path behind the home toward the river for peaceful sunset views. Guests love how easy it is to move between the beach, the river, and downtown without ever needing a car.
Center Street, home to Folly’s restaurants, shops, coffee spots, and nightlife, is only two blocks away. You can walk to breakfast, grab a drink, pick up surf or bike rentals, or enjoy live music within minutes. Bert’s 24‑hour market is just 200 steps from the house and is a favorite stop for snacks, groceries, beach items, and late‑night essentials.
The home sits on Ashley Avenue, one of Folly’s busier streets, and the house is positioned close to the road. Guests should expect normal island activity and traffic noise throughout the day. While the location is lively and convenient, it is still a residential neighborhood with long‑time locals nearby, making it ideal for families, couples, seniors, and laid‑back groups who appreciate walkability and easy access to everything.
From this spot, you can explore the island on foot, rent a golf cart, or simply enjoy the beach path next to the house that connects both sides of Folly. Whether you’re here for the ocean, the river, the restaurants, or the relaxed island atmosphere, this neighborhood puts you right in the center of it all.d 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 stands out for its bright, welcoming layout and the kind of comfort that makes guests feel instantly at home. The cottage features classic white wood walls, an open living and kitchen design, and a spacious sunroom that serves as a true second living area — a rare advantage for families and groups who want room to spread out. The unique five‑bed sleeping setup, including a split king adjustable bed, offers flexibility and comfort that’s hard to find in typical Folly Beach rentals.
A beach access path runs directly beside the home, giving guests incredibly easy, car‑free access to the shoreline. The location is close enough that you can walk — or even quickly run — back to the house for bathroom breaks, meals, snacks, or a mid‑day sun break without packing up your entire beach setup. This convenience is one of the features guests consistently love.
The property also offers rare on‑site parking with enough space to accommodate a boat, plus a convenient outdoor outlet — perfect for guests who want to bring their own EV charger for slow overnight trickle charging. Inside, the home is fully stocked with beach gear, all linens (bed, bath, and beach), a washer/dryer, and a well‑equipped kitchen designed for longer stays and effortless beach living.
Sweet Coralina blends cottage charm with practical amenities, multiple living spaces, and a thoughtful layout that supports both together time and privacy. It’s a comfortable, well‑appointed home designed for easygoing beach days, relaxed evenings, and a truly memorable stay.
