About this property

Grand Oaks Cottage: Ideal Location!

  • This pet friendly charming cottage is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 minutes from Folly Beach and 8 minutes from downtown historical Charleston.
    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.

    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.

Cute 1-bedroom cottage with just enough room for 2 people and our pup. Absolutely gorgeous grounds for relaxing and walking our pup. You can easily Uber downtown for 25 one-way. DELICIOUS bagels at Bagel Nation on James Island. Beautiful drinks at Prohibition restaurant and perfect dinner at The Ordinary, both in DowtownCharleston. Coffee provided back at the cottage for the nice quiet mornings. Comfortable bed and nice hot shower. Nice stay on James Island, Charleston!

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!

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!

Absolutely loved our stay. The area is so beautiful and the house we stayed in was just the perfect size for us. Close to everything Charleston had to offer. The owners were extremely friendly.

Great location

Spent a long weekend with a friend. Enjoyed the serenity of the property. Great location for beach time and downtown time. Never received check in email so had to reach out to owner but seems like VRBO mistake.
