Grand Oaks Cottage: Ideal Location!

This charming cottage is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 minutes from Folly Beach and 8 minutes from downtown historical Charleston.
The porch over looks a large back yard that is framed in by four majestic Grand Oaks that are draped with Spanish Moss, hence how the cottage was named. While relaxing it is possible to see occasional wildlife!

There is a large driveway for big toys!
Grocery store, restaurant/bar and brewery right across Folly Rd.

OP-04780
Guest access:
The charm of the place is that it's tucked off the road! Rafael Lane can be tricky to find. Get in the median right across from Bohemian Bull restaurant. The dirt road is on the left. After turning onto the Lane, take a right at the first drive and come straight back down a gravel drive. There will be a larger house on right with the cottage after.

Please contact host for key code.

This was such a cute quiet cottage, it was perfect for a short weekend for our one year wedding anniversary! Our dogs loved the backyard. It's not far from Folly Beach and close to most restaurants and downtown Charleston. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. The host lives on site and greeted us when we got there and gave great recommendations as this was our first time to Charleston. He was always available if needed. Great communication. Great area for dogs to run around. We did not use the outdoor space but the fire pit area and outside bar were nice option. Inside space was spacious and well cared for. Highly recommend and plan to return. The only downside was the entrance road to turn on was tricky to find especially in the dark and with lots of traffic.

This trip was supposed to just be my husband, the dog, and me. But, ended up bringing the whole family (2 kids ages 11 & 16). Our hosts were flexible with the kid addition and accommodated our large breed dog. The cottage was small. However, it had everything we needed. We all slept comfortably. The AC worked great! The cottage is adorably decorated and has one of the most amazing landscapes. The location is truly prime, super close to the beach and very close to awesome restaurants, downtown Charleston, and great grocery stores. We had a short weekend trip and thoroughly made use of our time. Would love to come back and visit.

Serene getaway

Lovely cottage surrounded by oaks and foliage. Quiet and peaceful but also conveniently located near Folly Road. About 15 minutes from Folly Beach and Charleston and 30 from the airport. The owners live next door and we’re friendly and welcoming. They have local favorites and suggestions if you are looking for something off the beaten path.

Very cute and cozy cottage!

We loved the cottage! It was in a quiet area and the road noise was very faint offering a peaceful experience which is nice when you have a dog with anxiety like mine. There were no distractions around so he was a very happy pup! The kitchen and restroom was well equipped and the laundry room is just a short walk next door! The porch was also a big plus! Thank you to our hosts for a great stay!

A pet-friendly hidden gem!

We loved our stay at Grand Oaks Cottage. The owner, Andy, was so kind and accommodating. Our dogs enjoyed the yard, we loved having bonfires and eating breakfast on the screened porch. The small AC unit worked really well! And the shower has very strong water pressure. We were amazed how accessible the location is to both folly beach and downtown Charleston. Other than the occasional airplane and background traffic sounds, we felt tucked away in our own little paradise!

Location is perfect. Accommodations are accurately listed.

Loved how close it is to Folly Beach without being right in the busyness. Lots of privacy. Only 2 pinch points were the comfiness of the chairs on the back porch. We spent a lot of time there with our toddler sleeping in the house and the chairs aren't great for long sits. And then the driveway off of the main road is tricky and we smacked the bottom of our minivan a few times. But truly a great place to stay and the hosts are awesome and friendly.
