This is a great little cottage for a trip to folly! Sooooo close to everything! I live in Charleston but we wanted to be close to the action for 4th of July and it was so worth it! We only had 3 people and it was a great size. It would have been a tight squeeze with 6 and the bedrooms are tiny so not much space for storage but for a weekend for 3 it’s perfect!

Location was excellent & property was what I would expect from an older surf shack style beach home. Furniture & beds were clean & comfortable. House could use some maintenance but nothing I wouldn’t expect from an older home & everything was in working order. Washer could use a deep clean as it did have significant mold in dispenser & around drum seals on the door. Common problem with front loaders washers being left closed before drying out. I cleaned the dispenser, wiped down the seal & ran a machine cleaner through a cycle & it was usable. Outdoor shower was nice for rinsing off after the beach, a couple more pavers under it would be nice to give a larger area to stand & help alleviate it creating a muddy area. Enjoyed the screen porch very much & proximity to beach & main drag of town couldn’t be beat. Hosts were great & easy to work with & keyless entry was great.,
