Perfect location ! Clean and well maintained home that has all you need for a great weekend at the beach. Location is perfect for walking to bars and restaurants. Beach is an easy walk with a beautiful view !
The cottage, sweet tea, was very clean and smelled very fresh when I checked in. The only little problem I had was not understanding the push button combination lock, but that was probably more me than the lock itself! Kevin was easy to get a hold of and explained the whole process of locking the door without locking myself out! We enjoyed ourselves, the cottage and the beach. Our only complaint would be the state of the outdoor shower. It is not in a very good place and Fords no privacy.
House was clean and had everything we needed. The location was great. Being able to have my dog with us was fun. We all enjoyed sitting on the front porch during the evenings including our dog.
Cute comfortable place best time I've ever had clean of little Pace places to hang out at great views convenient to town would recommend it to all my friends
Super cute and cozy beach bungalow. Stocked with anything you could possibly need. Great size house for a small family or two couples. One block to the beach and walkable to Folly village. Will definitely stay again.
We really loved our stay here. Sweet Tea had everything we needed. It is spacious, clean, has a very nice roomy and bright kitchen, and several outdoor spaces to enjoy, both sunny and screened in. The location is perfect and it truly is even cuter in person. We could have stayed a month and been happy! Maybe someday. We would absolutely return!
We loved our stay at Sweet Tea! It’s a nostalgic home that’s updated and comfy. The porch is a perfect spot to visit in the evenings while listening to the waves crashing. With only a short distance to the beach access, we made it to the beach in no time to set up and enjoy the beach! We’ve already started planning another trip.
Excellent location, close to the beach and the downtown area. The house was very clean and well appointed. Kevin was great to deal with. We can't wait to come back!

It was great to host you. Thanks for being among the first to help Folly get back to normal!
The home had a wonderful location and it felt very homey. The place was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The outdoor shower was very convenient to rinse off after a day at the beach. The proximity to the beach was incredible. It was a very enjoyable stay and the ability to bring our dog was a big bonus!
This is our third year at the Sweet Tea. We love staying here it is comfortable and the location is perfect. The house is well equipped with many conveniences. Kevin is wonderful to deal with. He is very responsive and accommodating . We look forward to our next visit in 2026.
