Family fun

Sun Love Cottage was the perfect setting for our vacation. The beach access road is across the street and the cottage was well equipped. Jackie was the perfect host. Attentive but not intrusive. Would recommend walking down to see the Morris Island lighthouse in the evening to see the beautiful sunset.

Excellent Stay

Thanks to the generousity of Jackie and Donna, our trip ended up better then we imagined! My husband and I stayed in the studio attached to the house. The studio was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed! The studio was within walking distance to the beach and to all the shops and restaurants but far enough to have some peace and quiet at the end of the day. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Folly!

Comfortable house in a peaceful and convenient location

We loved our stay here! We walked everywhere and especially loved being able to bring our dogs on vacation with us. The fenced yard was great! We used the screened porches every day to enjoy our coffee in the morning and have drinks in the evening. We didn't cook because it was hot and because there were so many good restaurants within walking distance. The air conditioning was super cold and felt great after long hot days at the beach. The beds were comfy and the location was quiet. Can't wait to go back.

Wonderful sunny stay!

An adorable and comfortable stay for my family and I! Great back yard and screened in porch made for relaxing and fun for both us and our pups! Jackie is incredibly friendly and helpful; if she came and went in her studio at all during our stay we never even knew. The house is right across the street from public beach access which made for a quick and lovely walk to the beach. Center Street and everything else Folly has to offer was only a short walk away including Bert’s for a quick grab of anything needed of some yummy beach snacks! Wished we never had to leave; Sun Love Cottage is everything Folly and we definitely recommend it and Jackie!

Good place, a little buggy, but still good.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Such great outdoor area to hang out, Enjoyed playing bocceball in the backyard. Accessibility to the beach and restaurants, we barely got in our car. The only negative thing I would have to say is the amount of palmetto bugs and spiders we had to kill. I am from South Carolina, and I know summer and humidity bring in buggies, but it was a litte excessive.

Folly Beach original gem

Location, charm, and the owner all the reasons we loved this VRBO Folly beach classic gem. The older house was well decorated, stocked and kept up and had amenities that made our trip most enjoyable! Only a few blocks from the beach and the main restaurant area on Folly, but far enough away to not be in the hustle of it. Perfect location. We rarely used our car all week. Walk to it all! Most importantly, the owner was incredibly accommodating and made sure our trip was enjoyable and was responsive to any needs that came up during our stay. We will be back!

Great Location, Friendly Host

Great location for this beach rental! We could walk to everything - beach, restaurants, shopping, dog park, pickleball / basketball court, golf cart rentals, and more! We loved the screened in porch out back and the fenced in backyard for our pups and our kids. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook. The host was very responsive to questions and available for us as needed. It was great having the washer and dryer there and there were lots of beach towels to use too! The only downside for us was that we did feel like the cottage was in need of a deep cleaning. The ceiling fans were caked with dust and the trash can was very dirty inside and out. The arms of the couches were dirty and we found places on the floors and tables that had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. All of the bedding felt very clean, but bath towels seemed old and in need of replacement. We tried to use the vacuum and it was full and caked with so much dust and hair it wasn't picking much up until we cleaned it out. We had to retrieve a dog toy from under the couch and there was a lot of dirt and hair under there that wasn't from our stay. It’s also worth noting that the listing says there is a hot tub/spa/whirlpool but that isn’t accurate. Overall this house was a great fit for our family of 6 and 2 dogs. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others.

Wonderful for a Folly house to be dog friendly. House even has a small doggie door onto a screened porch that has a door to a very nice fenced yard. House is close, but not too close, to downtown and a short walk to beach. Beds were comfortable and there was lots of hot water for showers. The kitchen is very well equipped. We’re quite elderly and the narrow stairs gave us some good exercise but there are handholds to help. Bedrooms are all upstairs. We do plan to come again. Owner is very cooperative.

Canine Comfort

So many things came together to make our stay at Sun Love Cottage enjoyable for all of us, including the doggie member of our group. The back porch was a great place to visit and watch lovely Luna run in the screened back yard. The kitchen and dining area were great for our traditional breakfasts and seafood dinner and we loved being able to walk to all the delicious restaurants. Towels, the washer and dryer and outside hose and shower helped us enjoy the nearby beach and keep the sand at bay. Having 2 bathrooms and the bedrooms upstairs gave each of us privacy as needed. Comfort for all.

Everything went smoothly and location was good. Jackie gave us information that helped so much. If you want an easier walk to the beach go to the access from the roadway rather than the paths. House was well equipped.

We had a wonderful stay at Sun Love.

We always love Folly and were sooo lucky to have found Jackie’s house this trip. The house is charming, the kitchen very well appointed and the beds were super comfy. Our favorite part was the large, shaded screen-in back porch with access to a roomy, well maintained fenced in backyard for our doodle Piper. The location is really close to Center Street and the River Park and with the new beach access directly across the street we on the beach in less than 5 minutes. We are already planning another trip in the fall to Jackie’s house. Best Folly Beach trip yet.

Just what we were looking for

Everything was fine, we had everything we needed and enjoyed the back screened in porch and fenced in backyard for the dog. Just a short walk to the pier. The area the house was in was very quiet and relaxing. The only thing I would recommend is replacing the single bed(s) in one of the bedrooms, they are not very comfy for a full grown person, we ended up having one person sleep on the couch instead.
