Paradise on Folly

Doesn’t get any better than this on Folly Beach. (We stayed for a full month.) Fantastic neighborhood just 2-3 blocks proximity to both beach and shops / restaurants. Huge open porch creates unique indoor / outdoor space with residence. First 2 bedrooms VERY spacious, both en suite.

Cute cottage close to beach

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! Valerie was super quick to get back when we had any questions. I loved that everything we needed for the beach was there - chairs, wagon, and toys. That was super helpful. Tej cottage is a few minutes walk from town, the beach, and a cute little pirate playground. We would totally stay again.

Amazing place!

Family-friendly and perfect for our last-minute escape, we felt right at home. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. Of all the places we've stayed, this is by far my favorite. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate our 6th year anniversary here! The location was fantastic, just a 5-minute walk to the beach and about 20 minutes from downtown Charleston. By the way, my daughter loved the toys and books y'all have there.

Perfect Folly Location

This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed on Folly! 2 blocks away from the center of town, Bert's and the beach, you couldn't ask for a better location on the island. The house is as beautiful as it is in the photos, and the owner was a breeze to communicate with. For a small group, you couldn't do much better than Sweetgrass!

Great spot to enjoy Folly

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sweetgrass Cottage! The living area, bedrooms & kitchen were comfortable & well stocked. It was so helpful to have towels, chairs & wagon available for the beach. The things that make this property really special are the garage doors onto the porch - awesome! - and the location. It's just a few blocks to downtown and the beach. This home was perfect for our Folly Beach vacation!

Perfect location

This listing was absolutely perfectly placed in Folly. Easy walking distance to the beach, downtown area, and Bert's Market, which has many essentials a group would need for their stay. We stayed on the amazing porch almost exclusively while at the house, which was very clean upon check-in. I can't recommend this listing enough!

First Empty Nester Trip

We (2 couples) spent a week here after dropping our kids off at college. The property is better than described. Beautifully furnished, clean, comfortable, well equipped, and a great location. The porch was our favorite spot for coffee in the morning and cocktails before dinner. We’re considering making this our annual September vacation spot!
