About this property

Anna Bell's Cottage. Steps to the Beach. Tropical Paradise

This beach cottage is just steps to the beach. Perfect for family vacations, girl's weekends, large groups, & couples. Nestled among the palmetto and oak trees giving you plenty of privacy & the feeling of staying in a tropical paradise. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths & 2 living rooms great for entertaining large groups. Hang out on the large screened-in porch with the whole family and listen to the waves come crashing in. Just 1 block from the beach & 1 mi to Folly Beach center, bars & restaurants. Anna Bell's Cottage is an iconic 1940s beach house. Recently renovated in 2022. With central HVAC, new interior upgrades to the kitchen and throughout the house. Each room is furnished with pillow-top mattresses for a comfortable night's rest. Open floor plan. Large kitchen with new appliances and a fully equipt kitchen for those home-cooked meals.

This house offers that classic beach house vibe. Spend the days relaxing on the beach and the evenings on the screened-in porch listening to South Carolina wild life. Take a quick stroll to Folly's quaint eclectic center street for local food and shopping.

Folly Beach is a small town on a barrier island, in South Carolina, just south of Charleston. Its home to locals and native wildlife like Dolphins and waterfowl Center Street is lined with surf and souvenir shops.

Folly Beach County Park has picnic areas and a pelican rookery. Infamous beaches and wildlife-rich habitats, Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve has views of Morris Island Lighthouse, completed in 1876.

Great place for our family!

Property is in a great location away from the busier parts of town but you are also very close to the beach. We loved that they provided beach toys for the kids and a crib for our baby. We’d stay again!!

Loved it!

We loved our stay at Anna Bell’s Cottage. It was a one minute walk to the most beautiful beach! There was lots of room for our whole family to spread out. We played games in the screened in porch. We enjoyed lots of meals around the huge island in the kitchen. I would highly recommend staying here with your family.

A Gem in Folly Beach!

We really enjoyed our stay here at Anna Belle’s. The house was bigger then we thought and it was super comfortable. Our dog loved the yard and it was a quick walk to the beach. The house was cozy and clean, new kitchen appliances and the beds were comfy. We will definitely come back and will stay again!!

Family Vacay

The place was nice, with a recently updated kitchen. The screened in porch was very nice but VERY dirty. I reached out the the property owner was very helpful and willing to send someone over to clean, but we had already taken care of it. Overall, it was a nice place, close to the beach for our large family.

Classic little cottage

Classic beach cottage. A little dated, but all you need to relax. Nice kitchen and great big screened porch. Bedrooms and baths are a little outdated, but you don't spend much time there anyway. Kitchen could use better dishes and glassware, but did have a good selection of cookware. Great location, easy walk, one block to the beach! We would go back!

Wonderful place in great location

We had a wonderful time. The house is exactly as described- very clean and spacious and cozy and well appointed. It is literally steps to the beach and one can hear the waves. The screened porch is really nice. The owners provide plenty of beach equipment which is great. The kitchen is big and there is everything provided one needs for excellent dinners. We love our time in the cottage and will come back for sure. It is very nice to have three bathrooms and three bedrooms and plants of space. The location is fantastic- it is quiet and safe and beautiful with the life oak trees and palm trees. The beach is wonderful for swimming and fun and long walks. Just a great place - highly recommended. The owners are very responsive and easy to communicate with and make sure one has a pleasant stay!

Folly Getaway

First let me say that I would recommend this cottage to anyone. The house was clean with fresh daisys and a bottle of wine waiting for us. The beds are comfy and plenty of room. Its an older home with an old school Folly feel. Kitchen was well stocked, back porch is amazing and quick walk to the beach. My only issue was that the owner communication was nil. We arrived early and asked if we could check in early (which could have been an easy no as it was a holiday weekend but an answer would have been kind) but there was no response, so we asked again, stll no reply. At 4pm we put the code in but it didnt work. After a few tries we realized they had the symbol wrong in the directions. Anyway, I'll chalk it up to a busy holiday weekend, and it really was a great little house.

Excellent location/not so excellent house

The location of the house was wonderful, 1 minute walk , on beach! The house needs lots of repair , the floors in living rooms kitchen/dinning are coming up and the floor foundation is structurally not sound, the stove was gas , good but it was tilted because the floors were so wavy.,the bathroom off of kitchen had drain knats and was really in need of repair, the carpets were gross need cleaning and the back bed room was damp and musty , I had to clean my suitcase and sanitize when I got home , the mildew smell was bad…. So we were all there , what’s one to do , we made it work.. I would not rent it again, sad, it could be cute , but the owner really needs to do the repairs!
