Loved the property and location! The deck and porches are the best. Ease to the beach and the fact that it was not too crowded by us adds to property . The twin beds could use replacing or a good mattress cover. But the awesome deck, location, and privacy of the super charming house more than made up for it.

Cottage stay

808 ashley embodies a true cottage on Folly vibe. Close to the water with views of the marsh was spectacular to enjoy for beach days and plentiful hangs on the porch. Sufficient linens and amenities and space! A bit dated appliances and it’s an old cottage but lovely no-frills vibe.

A beach house with character

What a lovely place! Clean and comfortable. Easy walk to the beach. I loved the family photos and letter about the history of the house. You can feel the good vibes. It’s an older beach house but I felt totally at ease there. Loved the kitchen table and view of the marsh from the back deck. It did not come furnished with beach chairs or a hair dryer, so be aware of that if those things are needed. Would stay here again!

Thank you for your review. You are correct, those are a couple of things we do not provide. We do offer a list of items that are provided and things we recommend bringing, as well as a discount bundle with local rental vendors for our guests in the Guestbook. This is sent out 2 weeks prior to arrival to help guests prepare. We are glad that you loved the home and it's history. It is fun to learn all of the fun family facts. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope that you stay with us again, next time you visit Folly Beach.
