Close to the beach.

We enjoyed our nice walks to the beach and the neighborhood. It was about 6 blocks to walk to shopping and eating. We found parking that worked out nicely for us.

Beach Cottage

Loved this cottage getaway. It had everything you would need. Located in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was within walking distance to shops, the beach,restaurants and more. Also recommend going downtown to eat at Chubby Fish and have a glass of wine at the Tippling House. Love all the charm of Charleston.

Great weekend getaway

Cute cottage- great location to beach access- hot shower. Front porch was charming but Could use some wood and screen replacement/ it's the beach, weather is brutal on wood. Overall, I'd stay there again.

Perfect Getaway

We came to Charleston for some medical testing at MUSC but wanted to offset with a short vacation. This property was perfect. It was awesome that we could bring the dogs with us and it was a very quick walk to the ocean. It was very cozy and had all the amenities we needed. The only thing we would have changed was the queen bed was very creaky and not very comfortable. Being there for medical reasons, it would have been nice to have a more comfortable bed. We ended up sleeping separately on the couch and day bed so we could be more comfortable and have the TV on. If the mattress was changed, we would stay again in a heartbeat. We LOVED the location and property.

Sea glass cottage was a great little place that allowed us to enjoy vibe of Folly Beach. Walking distance to both the beach and local restaurants, while still quiet and allowing for a relaxing retreat. Will definitely be back!

Perfect location!

This beach cottage was as listed and in the perfect location! Easy walking to town, the beach and easy to access downtown Charleston. I enjoyed staying in this cottage, however upon arrival there were several air fresheners that were extremely strong. For medical reasons, I cannot have intense smells. I reached out to the property manager who told me they did not have air fresheners in the house, yet I found 4 hidden. I wish they had been honest upfront. Otherwise, amazing stay! Highly recommend!

very nice time

The unit was very pleasant to stay at. Pricy for the location and amenities. I would hope for cable next time. Yes I would recommend this stay especially if your not wanting the standard hotel or condo stay. Very unique...
