About this property

1 Block to THE MOTHER SEA. Super easy and quick walk.

  • We named it the RATHERSHACK because you'd rather be here than anyplace else in the world. We are 'second row' from the beach - which means a 45 second walk for you slow pokes, or 30 seconds for the average beach bum. The cottage we are advertising and scheduling here is the 2 BR 1.5 bath, this one is called the BeachShack. Lots of charm and beach feel decor at no extra charge as this unit has all new beach-style furnishings, flooring, paint, new roof, and new air conditioning installed. All cottages have open floor plans for casual gatherings after your day at the beach. This Unit has a fully stocked kitchen utensils etc with microwave and dishwasher. The 2 BR features a large master with a queen bed and the second bedroom has a full bed, plenty of changing room. Super clean no allergens pet dander etc as we do not allow pets. Units have Free TV, Smart TV and WIFI. Off Street parking for 1 vehicles included. . Gas grill on site available for you grill masters out there. Riding bikes is one of our favorite things to do around around here, and look at all the sugar shacks, moderate homes, and homemade fishing piers plopped right next to the occasional McMansion. Architectural variety on every block. Folly Beach makes no judgment on who you are or where you come from...just bring your flip flops and come as you are.

Family Vacation

This property was absolutely perfect. We were in town for graduation and wanted to be close to the ocean but have one member of our party that cannot do a lot of stairs or a lot of walking. This property was ground level with a few stairs in and only a block off the beach, so easy access. The perfect property for our stay!

Love this place!

Everything about this cottage is great. Very clean and up to date appliances was nice. The decor is absolutely adorable and the best part is the beach is just 1 block away. The owners really thought of everything from beach chairs, beach towels, etc.. I will definitely stay here again!

Hotel like accommodations

Beautiful property with only short 3min walk to beach. The beds were very comfy and we loved the covered patio area. We enjoyed our stay and Katt was an excellent host. Check in and out procedures were a breeze. The only thing we wished we would have had at the property was a second TV. Highly recommend as a great beach house!

beach shack review

I took my Mom to the Beach Shack to celebrate her 75th birthday! We loved our trip! The house is decorated so cute and it is very clean. It is an excellent location, close to the beach and shops. I enjoyed the bikes, umbrella, towels and beach chairs! Sam and Kat were wonderful, we are looking forward to returning real soon!

A+ Experience!

Katt was a fantastic host! The house was super clean, convenient to local restaurants, and a two minute walk to the beach. You can’t really ask for much more than that! We will definitely be back.

Loved the Beach Shack.

BeachShack was wonderful! Loved the location. Very tastefully decorated! It was perfect for the 3 of us. We definitely would stay there again if we’re in this area! Thanks for sharing your BeachShack with us! The only negative is water pressure & temperature of water when taking a shower but this was discussed with property manager & was assured she will take care of this!!

A clean, refreshing vacation

The listing leaves nothing to the imagination, it's clean and beautiful and just enough space for my two young daughters, myself and my mother in law. It was the perfect girl vacation. Off the main drag enough that it was quiet at night but still easy to walk to any restaurant. The beach was the perfect distance to be able to come and go from the beach and a short 15 minutes to Charleston. It had plenty of towels, kitchen necessities and space for what we needed. Thank you for a lovely stay, we'll be back!

Beach Shack

We loved this house and our stay at Folly Beach. The house was clean and so cute! Two things to keep in mind are the driveway is shared so someone's car, in addition to yours, will be in front of that cute covered garage/patio area the whole time. The other thing is that the outdoor shower has no door and has generously spaced boards so you can't really use it as an extra shower like we usually do at the beach. That said, it's a great house and area. We would definitely rent this place or from Katt again.

Perfect way to start summer

Katt -- thank you for a lovely 3-day get away in Folly Beach. For some reason, I had the impression that Folly was a loud party beach but that was not the case at all. We loved our time exploring the side streets, restaurants, and being outside. Your cottage was perfect for us as a family of 4 for a short visit. Everything we needed was right there --simple and basic but very thoughtful. I appreciate your personal generosity -- I hope we will be back again. Let us know if you are in Boone -- would love to show you the same hospitality. Bring your SUP if you come the mountains and I will tell you about some lovely places to paddle. Susan

So cute, clean and convenient!

Super cute, very clean and incredibly convenient! We had never been to Folly Beach before but this property didn’t disappoint! It had everything we never knew we needed. The beach is a literal 45 second walk from the property which was fantastic with a 2 year old. Highly recommend!
