About this property

1004 E Arctic Ave. - Blue Flamingo - Steps From the Beach - Excellent Front Porch and Deck

Please note: This property is in a quiet residential community and Folly Beach has a strict noise ordinance violation rule of 1 strike. Respect your neighbors, keep the noise down, and no parties.

Welcome to a Folly Beach treasure! Bursting with character and a timeless Folly vibe, Blue Flamingo is a wonderfully fun 4 bedroom 2 full bathroom home with easy beach access just steps away. Enjoyed by countless families and groups of friends over the decades, this beach house gem has been freshly updated under new ownership and management. While maintaining its vintage charm, including artwork original to the home, Blue Flamingo has been rejuvenated by new kitchen appliances, a renovated primary bathroom, new light fixtures, new window treatments, and many other upgrades throughout.

Blue Flamingo is a peaceful oasis as well as a perfect gathering place. A favorite hang-out spot for guests, the 30-foot screened front porch facing the ocean is wonderful for sipping morning coffee, reading, and enjoying company any time of day. With dining seating for eight and additional comfy chairs for simply enjoying the ocean view, the porch has been filled with much happy chatter and many celebrations over the years.

Blue Flamingo's expansive rear porch, providing yet another comfortable venue for entertaining, features a dining table that seats eight, a teak bar designed for four, and a gas BBQ grill. In addition, the deck has an inviting outdoor living room area accommodating eight or more guests. The home's bedrooms include a primary bedroom with a king bed and three guest rooms offering one king bed, one queen bed, and a retro bunk room with two twin beds. After a day at the beach, a fully enclosed outdoor shower a few steps down from the back deck and accessed from the drive-under is a delightful way to rinse off the sand and salt. A ping pong table, a second full-size fridge, and a laundry room with a side-by-side new washer and dryer are on the lower level. Parking at Blue Flamingo is a breeze, with ample off-street spaces in both the driveway and drive-under.

Blue Flamingo is ready to welcome back its guests who have already made cherished memories in this special place and to introduce new visitors who will get to know its charm and want to return year after year.
Book your stay now and embark on a beach vacation that will leave you with lasting memories and a desire to return to Blue Flamingo time and time again.

Fabulous family beach house

The property was centrally located and more than fit our needs. The back deck and front porch were worth the price alone. It had a very well stocked fridge and the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing Folley Beach visit. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect beach cottage!

This cottage was perfect and so so CLEAN!!!! We're extremely picky about cleanliness and this place did not disappoint...10 out of 10! We loved how the owner kept the history and quaintness of the original cottage while updating in all the right places such as bathrooms and with decor. The location was just right as well, right across from the beach and beach access. We will definitely stay here again!

Great location steps from the sand. Cool Vibe. It is an extremely clean, updated beach shack, with plenty of outdoor space to add to the size of the house. Everything was provided. They communicated very well and used text for easy access.

Cute House

Overall our stay was great! The house is smaller than we anticipated. We stayed with 4 kids and 2 adults. House was clean and well equipped. Only small issue we had was the toaster didn’t work but we didn’t bother to call manager. Little tight space for a family of 6 people but LOVED being steps from beach access!

Amazing property!

We loved staying here! We had 3 kids with us, aged 5-9. It was perfect for them! Beach access was close and quick to get to. The only issue we had was one of the windows in the bunk room didn’t lock. But I messaged the property manager, and they immediately offered to come have it taken care of. But our kids ended up in another bedroom so it wasn’t an issue. It was nice to have the promptness of having it fixed if we needed it! The property was very clean with many amenities provided that we hadn’t even thought of. The screened in porch was our favorite place to be! We would definitely stay here again!

Old Beach Cottage

My wife and I stayed in this house during the month of February, 2022. So we got to know it well. This box asked me to tell you what I loved about the place. So this limits my comments to the positives only. There are negatives: - The most desirable feature of this house is its access to the beach, very close. - Grocery stores and other shops are just a short drive away. - I loved site-seeing in the Charleston area. - The beds were comfortable. - Adequate parking.

Amazing place

We absolutely loved quaint Casa Flamingo. The location is steps from the beach. The inside of the house was very clean and thoughtfully appointed. The front and back porches made the stay. We sat on the front porch whenever we weren’t at the beach and loved it. We would definitely stay again in this jewel of a beach house.

Fun in the Sun

We Really enjoyed our stay at this property. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and adequate for our weeks stay. Ceiling Fans in all rooms were a plus. The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed to prepare meals and we managed well with the counter space we had. The close beach access was a blessing, especially when carrying umbrellas, chairs, etc. The screened in porch with tables and chairs was a highlight. We spent a lot of time there eating meals, playing games and just relaxing, and morning and evening there was a nice cool breeze. Back porch… not so much, it was too hot to sit out there. We rented bikes for the week and it was great to have the open garage to store them. Overall, we would recommend this property. The few things which were amiss could easily be remedied and have been brought to the attention of the property manager.

Great house

Fantastic location, close to the beach, the only sound one hears is that of the waves of the ocean. The house has a beautiful deck and a lovely porch, both fully and comfortably equipped. The rooms are finely furnished and all is very clean. Perfect for a wonderful holiday.

Nice quant , comfortable house, close to beach.

The house is quant and clean. Well stocked. It has two nice decks, one is screened in. Beds are comfortable. The beach is about 80 steps from the front door, easy to get to. We got regular texts / emails from the property manager to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable. Dan

Overall great experience

PROS: 1.Location - steps away from to the beach, quite neighborhood 2. Open deck screened porch, so you can be "Outdoor" even when it rains 3. Well equipped kitchen CONS: 1.Not enough closet space to hang up clothes (mentioned previously by one of the reviers) 2. BBQ could not start due to broken igniter - we called rental agent, requested assistance but no-one showed up to fix the issue. We used the matches only to realize that we are lacking proper BBQ equipment. 3. Although house was overall clean,front porch was really dirty , seems like it was not mopped for months Overall property is old, has kitschy Florida charm, but would have no problem coming again.

Perfect Family Get Away

Great location, easy beach access and lots of outdoor spaces. This cozy, old timey beach cottage was perfect for our family get together. From the screened in front porch to the large back deck and quaint interior, there was plenty of space to spread out. Exactly what we were looking for.

Casa Sandspur

This home was clean and was in a great location just across from the beach. It is dog friendly , however the yard around the house is full of sand spurs which made it very difficult for our dogs to use the yard. We had to constantly remove the stickers from their feet when they went outside. Also the sand spurs ended up getting on the rugs and in our feet.

What a wonderful place! From the decor of the home to the amenities provided. Thank you for providing such a clean, beautiful home, for us while in Folly Beach. The easy access to the beach, yet not in the middle of the action, was exactly what we wanted and got. We look forward to booking again in 2022.

What a fun house🙃

Great location and access to beach. The back deck is fantastic. The house decor is quirky in a good, fun way. The beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms seem to be recently renovated. The kitchen is small but well-stocked in terms of plates, bowls, glasses, utensils, coffee pots, blender, pots and pans, etc. There is limited counter space, and the cabinets are overstocked with stemware so that there is literally no room for renters’s groceries. Similarly, the wardrobes in the bedrooms are stuffed with pillows and bedspread so that there is no room for renters’ clothes. (There are no bedroom closets). So, some inconveniences but the house is really great. Don’t hesitate to rent it’
