Great spring beach house

Perfect for a couples retreat! This house is four blocks away from the beach and within walking distance of several bars and restaurants. Park your car and do t move it for a week. The steps - inside and outside - are legit steep, and the bedroom above is truly in the trees - you’ll hear birds all morning long. A quiet residential street and outdoor porch are a bonus. I wouldn’t put anyone but young kids in the other bedroom - you have to walk through the main bedroom and the three twins are in attic space/low ceilings with not a ton of airflow aside from the mobile AC there. Main shower is on the main/bottom floor. Highly recommend.

Great location, sparse amenities

The Birdhouse sits on a quiet street just a short walk to the beach and all of the fun places to visit on Folly Beach. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds chirping, you could hear the waves at night and the bed/linens were wonderful. It is a clean house and was comfortable enough, though lacking in some important amenities for the price. For instance, the incredible deck has four dining chairs and table but only one (old, dirty) chair for lounging. We moved a bed blanket outside to wrap up in in the evening and pillows to turn the dining chairs into ottomans. Any products in the home are there only because a former guest left them there - no body wash, a tiny bit of leftover shampoo, random bottles of sunscreen and aloe. They also did not provide any beach chairs or towels - I rented a chair and umbrella from Folly Beach Chair Company and they set up right next to the 4th St E public beach access point which was lovely...though I thought for the price of the home, I wouldn't have to also rent a chair! Lastly, the stairs to the second floor are steep and uneven - we were relieved not to have little ones with us or elderly parents. If you have the slightest of mobility issues, this is not the spot for you. Not sure we would rent this house again, but grateful for our time there!

Lovely Bird House

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bird House. It was very cozy with thick, fluffy towels, soft sheets and comfy beds. The kitchen was challenging for people who love to cook for themselves rather than eating in restaurants all the time. The stairs leading to the upstairs can be hard to navigate. The location in Folly is great but the no see ums are too friendly.

Nice Little Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Birdhouse. It was walking distance to any point on the island. The house itself was adorable, and we had everything we needed from towels to dishes to laundry detergent to room to work remotely. The stairs are definitely steep and need to be used carefully, but we had zero issues going up and down those stairs multiple times a day (including after a night of drinking on Center Street). The numerous windows provided ample light and warmth on the chillier mornings. Thanks for a great week in Folly!
