Cozy and Perfect Location

We loved our stay! Location wise we were far enough for some peace and quiet but within walking distance of everything. My daughter loved the outside shower and all the little touches that made this stay so special.

Folly Beach Stay

We were delighted with the property! Three blocks from the beach and a short 10-15 minute walk to restaurants for dinner! Quiet neighborhood and all the amenities promised. Would definitely recommend the property to others. Thank you Teresa.

Wonderful Host!

Had the Lil Pearl booked for a weekend however a last minute foot injury kept us from actually taking our trip! The property manager was great in communicating with me and even though we actually didn’t get to stay on the property, I would book again since Teresa was so great to deal with!

A great little beach house

The Lil' Pearl was a sweet little beach house and was fully equipped with anything we might need. We were able to walk to the beach and to the downtown area to find places to eat. My husband and I enjoyed our get-away.

First trip to Folly

just the two of us. A little smaller than expected but ended up being the right size for us. Close enough to town but also far enough to have quiet and minimal traffic.

Had such a great stay!

The Lil' Pearl is such a great location. Walking distance to Bert's, the beach is super close and the main drag of town. It was extremely clean and had anything you would need. The outside seating area and the outdoor shower was perfect. I will definitely stay there again and I would recommend it to other people.

Easter Holiday

The property was as advertised. Teresa had left a nice Easter basket of goodies. Thank you! It was a quick walk to the beach (recommend viewing the sunrise) and close enough to downtown that we walked everywhere. Would book again.

Great location

The property is very cute and clean. Location is great for a quick walk to the beach and restaurants. The Low Life bar up the street is also a great find. The second shower is outside, which would have been cool, but it rained the entire time we were there. I will stay there again when I am back at the beach.

A Great Stay!

My wife and I plus our two dogs stayed at Lil Pearl last week. Teresa greeted us when we arrived and was most gracious to us. The house was perfect for the two of us. It had everything we needed and, in fact, my wife said she felt pampered by the little touches that Teresa provided. We would definitely stay there again!

It was Ok

The location was good. The house seemed like it was in disrepair in some places, including the deck leading up to the entry door. The A/C was subpar; seemed to take long to cool house. Bought a box fan to remedy the issue. Note: there's no dishwasher. Overall, we had a good time.

Girls escape

A weekend away to worry about no one but ourselves. Little Pearl was the perfect spot and Theresa was a perfect host. When we arrived the toilet want working and we had a plumber on site within minutes. The place was cozy, convenient and well equipped. Check out Bert’s and make sure you trek to the end of the island to see Morris Lighthouse.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa L. Mincey

Host profile image
I am a Columbia, SC native but have lived in Folly Beach for the last 29 yrs. I raised 2 wonderful daughters on folly Beach and just can't think of a better place to live. I almost want to keep it a secret but then I think everyone should experience little 'Mayberry by the Sea' or 'Edge of America' as it is coined.
I have been renting my long term properties for the past 35 years. However, I enjoy the vacation rental properties the most. It's so enjoyable meeting my guests and helping them have the best experience possible during their stay and being in the most beautiful spot that I know, Folly Beach. I love to share my favorite spots and experiences with my Guests at this little slice of heaven.

Why they chose this property

The "Lil Pearl" is convenient, simple, comfortable, clean, fresh, fun, tasteful, affordable, and just 'Folly'. Not a "resort style cookie cutter". I never liked those much, what so ever.
Real elegance comes in a much simpler fashion.

What makes this property unique

Boat dockage on the Folly Inlet may be available for use depending on your reservation dates.
One of the few "Folly" Cottages left ie., NO STEPS!
