Paradise on Folly

Doesn’t get any better than this on Folly Beach. (We stayed for a full month.) Fantastic neighborhood just 2-3 blocks proximity to both beach and shops / restaurants. Huge open porch creates unique indoor / outdoor space with residence. First 2 bedrooms VERY spacious, both en suite.

Cute cottage close to beach

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! Valerie was super quick to get back when we had any questions. I loved that everything we needed for the beach was there - chairs, wagon, and toys. That was super helpful. Tej cottage is a few minutes walk from town, the beach, and a cute little pirate playground. We would totally stay again.

Amazing place!

Family-friendly and perfect for our last-minute escape, we felt right at home. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. Of all the places we've stayed, this is by far my favorite. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate our 6th year anniversary here! The location was fantastic, just a 5-minute walk to the beach and about 20 minutes from downtown Charleston. By the way, my daughter loved the toys and books y'all have there.

Sweetgrass Family Visit

This house is a great mix of comfort, style and great location. The owner was on point with communication and genuinely cares about her guests. The place is well-appointed, stylishly decorated and has a nicely landscaped yard. The house has a great nature vibe because you’re up in the canopy with glass garage doors blending seamlessly into a generous-sized, screened gallery. It’s off of the busy front street but easy walks to beach and commercial district. Can’t really beat it…

Great spot to enjoy Folly

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sweetgrass Cottage! The living area, bedrooms & kitchen were comfortable & well stocked. It was so helpful to have towels, chairs & wagon available for the beach. The things that make this property really special are the garage doors onto the porch - awesome! - and the location. It's just a few blocks to downtown and the beach. This home was perfect for our Folly Beach vacation!

The perfect spot!

Our group of three women had a fantastic stay at Val’s place. The house was beautiful and very well appointed. All of us appreciated the comfortable beds. And the porch! Amazing! Val was very helpful and flexible with some travel issues that arose with our group as well. 10/10, would recommend.

Clean nice place, obnoxious neighborhood

Place was very well appointed and clean. We had to listen to the neighbors ac powering off and on all night just feet from our window. Cars were racing down the streets, lots of inebriated jerks around, gun shots or some kind of very big explosion in the middle of the night, loud in music and partying till we'll after 2: 00 am and the the neighbors cranking on the music at about 7: 30 in he morning.Ugh. If you don't mind all of that, it's a great place.

Relaxing beach getaway

A great property within easy walk to the beach and the center of town. We really enjoyed the large front porch and opening the garage doors to let the ocean breeze in. Four chairs and a wagon are provided to haul your stuff to the beach. Bert’s market is just a couple minutes walk around the corner. Will definitely look to stay here again for our next trip to Folly.

Perfect Folly Location

This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed on Folly! 2 blocks away from the center of town, Bert's and the beach, you couldn't ask for a better location on the island. The house is as beautiful as it is in the photos, and the owner was a breeze to communicate with. For a small group, you couldn't do much better than Sweetgrass!

Wonderful Stay!

We loved our stay at this beautiful home!! The location was ideal, not in the busy area of Folly but a close walk to restaurants, bars, and shopping, and beach access was so easy!! There was room for everyone to enjoy each others company, cook dinner, and eat, but also retire to the privacy of their own room and bathroom. The home was clean and organized. What we loved the most was the attention to the little things. The toilet paper was high quality, every sink had hand soap, salt and pepper were in the pantry. Val was also such a sweat heart and checked in on us the first night. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Best porch on folly

This was our second time staying at this property. It was a perfect fit for two couples. There are two masters plus a bunk room and hall bath. We spent most our time out on the front porch watching people go by, reading, and playing cards. The garage doors off the porch to the living and kitchen are a nice feature. The house was very clean and well appointed. The house is a few blocks to all the best restaurants and a few to the beach. We used their beach chairs and beach towels which was very convenient. We would definitely visit again.

Sweetgrass is superb!

The house is amazing and very well thought out. Best feature, the roll up doors to the porch. The weather while on our stay was perfect so we had them open as much as we could. Morning coffee, evening drinks, superb. Bluetooth soundbar for music was perfect, gave total vacation vibes with porch/beach living at its best. Furniture throughout the house is comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with extra spices, coffee filters, all the plates, trays, bowls, utensils etc., it had it. Location is absolute perfect. Very walkable for beach access, downtown area, restaurant's. Little Market called Berts was cool. Very quick responses from the owner with answers was top notch! Love Folly area and we will visit again. Thank you. Doug H.
