Classic Beach Cottage~Surf Shack

One of Folly’s Best! The Surf Shack is a very cozy beach house hidden behind beautiful live oaks. Just a quick walk to the beach you will find everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. Enjoy the sand and the sun during the day then come back and relax at night around the outdoor fire pit with Adirondack chairs and twinkling outdoor lighting. This beach house vacation rental features two bedrooms and one bath providing ample space for sun-seeking guests on the screened in porch or the outdoor deck. The Surf Shack is your private oasis right in the middle of Folly Beach. 1 block away from the sand and 2 blocks from Bert’s Market for all your needs. Leave refreshed and with memories and plans for a quick return. Surf Shack allows only 1 well-behaved, house-broken, flea-treated dog with approval. Please include the breed and size of your dog when you inquire.

The surf shack was a great place to stay for a short vacation. The dog loved it and it was quaint, clean and easy to get to the best that folly has to offer. We would absolutely visit again.

The Shack is easy walking to the beach and to shops and restaurants. It was very clean and there were no problems. We didn't use the yard, but there is a fire pit, shower and deck.

The proximity to the beach is wonderful and we had everything we needed for our two nights. Beds were comfortable and the management company was attentive. Parking was easy and the key-less entry worked well. We would go back.

We had a wonderful few days on Folly Beach! The Surf Shack is a lovely home, well-appointed, and was perfect for our stay. It’s conveniently located for walking to the beach, local restaurants and shopping! Folly Beach is a short trip from Charleston for sight-seeing and world class restaurants. The Host, Greg, was very attentive and responsive to my emails and questions before, and during, our stay. We can’t wait to return for another vacation.

We loved the screened porch for Happy Hour, listening to the waves rolling in, then as it got darker, the crickets. Very private and surrounded by a beautiful oak and palms. Our only wish was that the shower was bigger.

Two blocks from beach access; one block from Berts Grocery; three blocks from downtown! What's not to like? Great!!!

This property is on the main road but I did not hear the traffic while in the house! Just a block from the beach and 3 blocks from the main intersection on the island. Loved the Jack and Jill bathroom with the bedrooms. Great little weekend getaway! Thank you so much!

Great location, close to the public access to the beach. The beach house was clean and the bed comfortable. Great place for a couple or small family. Close to the center of Folly Beach with restaurants. The kitchen was adequately equipped, but a little sparse with staples. Be sure to bring your own coffee filters, napkins and whatever spices you need for cooking. Or, just enjoy the restaurants close by.

This is the cutest little cottage and a perfect location on Folly. There are lots of nice windows and a screen porch. The house is decorated comfortably and is very clean. A side note: The floors are uneven and almost wavy in places which is very difficult for someone who suffers from vertigo but if that doesn’t apply to you, they are original and in an original surf cottage that is charming.

The house was really nice and cozy. I loved the screened in porch. The house was very clean. There were alot more supplies than I thought there would be. I loved that it had alot of the privacy from the trees even though we were so close to everything. The limbs do need trimming around the deck area.

The house itself was cute. But the bed was so lumpy and uncomfortable that we actually let a day early because we couldn't bare another night trying to sleep on the bed. The window blinds were all torn up as well.

My wife and I enjoyed a few days away at the Surf Shack. We particularly enjoyed the screened in porch. We spent a lot of time there enjoying each others company while reading and soaking in the scenery. The Surf Shack is just a few hundred yards from the 3rd street beach access and we had a nice surprise of beach chairs to take down to the beach for fun in the sun and surf. You are just a short walk from all the restaurants and bars, as well as Burt’s Market, the local grocery store. Like the other reviews, we found the shower a bit small and a little tricky to dial in the hot water, but overall a fun little bungalow for a enjoyable stay at Folly Beach.

This was a nice place & close to everything at Folly Beach. Was disappointed that we weren't allowed to enter the property early. Driving from a long distance we arrived approx. 2 hours early & the property was vacant, no cleaning crew etc., we had to sit in the driveway & wait. Don't see the harm/risk of letting us in early.

Enjoyed our stay. Perfect for my husband & I. Older home with lots of character. Just a short walk to the beach & a short walk to the restaurants & shops. We had a fantastic stay. Just FYI- we have a tall truck & had to park away from the door because small tree branches hanging down scratched the roof of the cab. In the master bedroom, 2 slats within the blinds were broken- which we just placed paper towels over the holes at night- definitely not a deal breaker. Easy fixes. We absolutely loved our stay.
