Welcome to Swell Cottage! Awesome Second Row Folly Beach with great ocean views.
Fantastic house with large fenced yard, across the street from beach and walkover. Two blocks from local market, four blocks from Folly pier and center of town. Protected outside shower with hot and cold water to wash off the sand between your toes! Great ocean views from two decks. Enclosed back porch/sunroom just off the kitchen which leads down to the grill. We also provide baby equipment (high chair, baby gates, pak'n'play) so it is one less thing to pack. Spacious eat-in kitchen with a great farm table which seats 8 people and updated stainless appliances and granite counter tops. There is cable TV in the first floor bedroom, living room and 3rd floor. There is a nice GE washer and dryer in the sunroom/enclosed porch on the first floor. The house also has wireless internet service and central heat and air conditioning. There are children's beach toys, boogie boards and one beginner surfboard for tenants use as well as beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Avoid the hassle of the paid parking lots in town and park your car in the private off street parking at the house. There's no need to drive to explore all the cute shops and restaurants since it's an easy stroll to Center Street and the Folly Beach Pier. Our yard is large by beach standards and completely fenced. There are double gates at the driveway entrance which are able close. There is an outdoor propane grill to eat all the great beach cookout meals.
There is a separate storage area for house keeping use only. This space is not occupied or for rent and is not included in the square footage of the rental house.

Basically every review on this house is exceptional, and with good reason. It’s the perfect beach house for a getaway with kids..the ocean is steps away, restaurants are down the street and the house is exactly as advertised. Lynn is very easy to work with, and we had zero complaints. Stay here if you can.
We had an amazing stay at the Swell Cottage. Everything was better than advertised. The location was perfect - just steps from the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shops. There was plenty of space for our family of 7. The beach amenities (chairs, umbrellas, boards, toys, mats, cooler etc.) made our beach vacation seamless. This was the first time we didn’t have to buy or rent things for the week. Lynn communicated everything clearly and was so geneelus. We can’t wait to return next year!
Our family had an amazing time spending our Christmas at Folly Beach. The house had lots of space for our party of 7 and was in an amazing location close to the beach and was walkable to downtown. The house was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities. The host Lynn was a very responsive host and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this beach house and our family hopes to return again one day in the future.
My family was able to enjoy an amazing, relaxing Thanksgiving during a tough time for us. This home made things relaxing, it made it easy for everyone to have their own space, and more importantly it was PEACEFUL!!!! Lynn was super responsive and communicative throughout the booking process!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Swell Cottage. From the accommodations to the location it made for an excellent vacation at the beach while visiting our daughter. Highly recommend!
I booked this beautiful place to ring in my forties with my sister and best friends. It was clean, comfortable, and convenient! Would definitely stay again.
My family loved this place! Awesome location for a family vacation. Close enough to the main strip to walk to everything but far enough away to miss the sound
My friends and I stayed at the cottage for a long weekend and had a great time! The location was great and we really enjoyed going to the beach. Lynn was a great host and very accommodating!
We loved everything about this place! It was perfect! Great location. Plenty of room. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Comfortable beds. Loved the patio! Decor was so cute! It had everything we could possibly need. We loved our weekend here and can’t wait to come back!
A perfect place for a family to stay and enjoy the best of the beach and all Folly Beach has to offer. Steps away from a great beach that doesn't get too crowded.
This house is fantastic! Everything is so walkable & with 5 of us, there was plenty of space. This house has everything you need for a beach vacation - chairs, cooler, tents, games, surf board, boogie boards, and a beach wagon. Restaurants & shops a short walk away. We will be back!!
Great house with room for 6 adults and 2 little ones. Right across from the beach. All the amenities you need. Plenty of parking. Great porch to enjoy the ocean view. Loved it.
We had a great time week relaxing with family. The house was clean and comfortable. Had all the beach amenities you could want. Enjoyed the Weber grill for some burgers and hotdogs one night. Great location to walk to local restaurants and close to Charleston. Would definitely stay here again.
This was a great home for a family vacation at the beach! Thanks Lynn for a great week!

About the host
Hosted by Keith and Lynn Merrill
Why they chose this property
Very unique house. We love the palm trees growing up through the front porches. Multi-level so family members can spread out and maybe have some quiet time in the sunroom or just sit on the many decks and see the ocean.
What makes this property unique
Parking is always a problem at the beach. We have our own private off road driveway and a separate parking pad outside the back porch. This house is an original beach house that has been renovated over the years. Beautiful enclosed yard and the beach is just across the street. We also have baby equipment (pak’n’play, high chair, baby gates) to make life easier when traveling with little ones.
