Charming Pet Friendly Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to beach

This cottage is ideally located for families and couples who want to come and go from the beach and downtown without driving, parking or walking very far. The beach access, directly across the street, is just 40 feet from the front steps. Restaurants and shopping area are just 3 blocks away. We are located at the corner of West Ashley Ave. and 4th Ave. - look for our aqua cottage with widows walk on the top.

One of Folly's original cottages, the Love Shack has been updated inside with creature comforts. But the large front deck is still our guests' favorite - as it puts you right in the Folly action with great views. You can see and hear the ocean from almost every room in the house - or listen to the ocean and feel the breezes. There's even a roof top deck over the porch if you want a panoramic view of the island.

This rental offers guests a combination of comfort and nostalgia that's getting harder to come by...we have aimed to preserve the same flavor we enjoyed as youngsters coming to the beach, before the era of condos and 'McMansions.' This property has 2 bedrooms and a large living area, both areas equipped with 42' flat screen TVs. Our cottage has approximately 650 square feet.

The living area and kitchen are open, divided by a bar/table/counter which is an old hatch door from a WWII Liberty Ship - refinished of course.

Folly Beach is a six mile long barrier island, and the closest beach to historic Charleston, South Carolina, 15 minutes on the Connector.

We welcome children of all ages and dogs. Our property is located on a corner lot. The backyard has a canopy of live oaks and is completely fenced. This home is not nearly as elevated as the newer ones; so there's only 10 steps from the back door to the yard. All these features make pet care and child care a lot easier. And don't worry about parking - we have 4 off street spaces at the back of the lot; and another in the front.

Girls Spring Break Trip
Even professors need a break. The Loveshack was a perfect getaway for the girls to relax on Spring break. Gigi, the property manager was amazing. The cottage was immaculate. We crossed the street to walk the beach and could walk for lunches and dinner. We will be back.

Folly Beach Getaway
This property was perfect for a couple days on Folly Beach. The house is beautifully remodeled cottage with incredible natural lighting. The porch and backyard were great for lounging with our two dogs. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces. The kitchen was well equipped and Gigi even brought us an additional steam pot for a low country boil. The close and quick access to the beach makes this house worth every penny. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend the property to our family and friends.

Folly Beach Getaway
We came down to visit our daughter and stay on the beach and I did not want to leave. The house was very clean, beds were very comfortable and the location could not have been better. We spent time exploring Folly and a day on the beach, the porch was perfect for relaxing and people watching. The living room and kitchen had everything you could want. Coffee, creamer and water were in the fridge, along with plenty of towels. It was also great to have a BBQ to use. Owner BJ & property manger GiGi were very accomodating and easy to contact. We can not wait to visit again.

Cozy, updated house in great location
This house was a perfect fit for our family (2 adults, first grader, and dog). They had just put in new living room and deck furniture and painted the house. It was very comfortable and easy to live in. The house is well insulated from what could be a noisy street in busier times of the year. We enjoyed the beach, bike riding, and not getting in the car once we got there. Highly recommend it!

Lovely
Great little house that was perfect for our family of 4. Prime location, great communication with the house manager, loved the front porch and deck, well-kept yard, we even did a couple of the puzzles that were there on rainy mornings. Definitely a “classic” Folly house!
