About this property

This charming cottage is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 minutes from Folly Beach and 8 minutes from downtown historical Charleston.
This hideout is not in a neighborhood and the weather right now is perfect for the new firepit with cabana out back!
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.

Perfect Get-Away!

This property far exceeded expectations. The location is 10 mins to downtown, 10 mins to the beach. My fiancé and pups had a quick weekend trip. Location is safe & quiet. The hosts are fantastic and easy to communicate with. Hosts stocked unit with every consideration. Surrounded by mature live oaks sets this unit in a beautiful scenery would absolutely make this our go to vacation home! Very peaceful!

Great place for a work trip

First, I absolutely recommend this property for folks visiting the area, especially if you have a dog! I was in town visiting a friend and working for a couple days, and the cottage suited my needs perfectly. It was cozy, clean, had a LARGE yard with fun amenities, and had a convenient location for my activities. I also had a chance to meet the hosts who were very welcoming and accommodating. Location wise, the cottage is hidden off a main road (Folly Beach Road), so it is super convenient in terms of getting around John's Island and Folly Island. The large yard and outdoor amenities definitely add the the nice vibe of the cottage and made it a nice place to hang outside.

Fun Labor Day Getaway

Really nice quiet getaway for Labor Day weekend! Easy drive to and from the beach, very private and relaxing atmosphere. Really only complaint was that it got a little hot in the cottage at night, so you may want to bring an extra fan. Super cute place with everything you need!

Great property, awesome host!

My husband and I stayed at Grand Oaks cottage for our elopement and couldn’t have had a better time! Andy was an amazing host who gave great recommendations for local “hidden” treasures and made us feel so welcome!

Calm cottage in a central location

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The cottage had everything we needed, plus a large outdoor area to enjoy the nice weather under the beautiful oak trees. It was in a perfect location, close to Folly Beach and nearby family on James Island. We’d definitely visit again!

Wonderful place

Beautiful property and building/s and a wonderful place for our family to stay. Had a 4 year old and 7 month old for our first big trip together. Great communication from property owner and manager. The outdoor space was wonderful and we appreciated the proximity to both beach and downtown.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy Williams

Hi! Andy here..Im the owner. I'm originally from Baltimore, Maryland and have made Charleston my home for the last 37 years. My future wife, Dawn, and I enjoy spending time together cheering sports, travel, food, friends and maintaining the grounds of Grand Oaks Cottage...oh and a good cold cocktail.

Why they chose this property

I don't live in a neighborhood. I refer to it as my little slice of heaven that Gid set aside for me to care for and share with others.

What makes this property unique

Great question! I'ts in the middle of owhere but close to everyting. My vision for Grand Oaks Cottage is for it to not be a place for guests to just sleep but be the destination in itself.
