We loved our stay here! It was the perfect set up with everything we needed. The garage doors opening to the porch is a big highlight to extending and enjoying the large porch! It was a perfect stay.

We loved the house, the porch and the beautiful tree and landscaping surrounding the house. The a/c worked great and that was very important since we were there in late July during a hotter than usual summer

I loved the time that my family and I stayed there. It's a short walk to the beach and a short walk to downtown folly. The home is absolutely beautiful!
Loved our stay at this house. It was bigger than the pictures make it look. Very nice and clean. The location was perfect. We will definitely book here in the future.

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.

Thank you for your great review! I'm so happy you enjoyed your time at our home and i look forward to hearing from you again!! Val
The house is comfortable and clean, and it’s perfect for families. It is located only two blocks from the beach and restaurants/shops. A couple of blocks in the other direction is a fun pirate themed playground. Everything is an easy walk, and there is a beach wagon, towels. and toys to use. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch and using the outdoor shower after the beach. The host is very responsive and kind. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautifully appointed, and perfectly located - this home made our stay at Folly over a long weekend. The front porch and garage style doors let the outside in...something truly special.
The homeowner Val was very easy to work with and super responsive. We can't wait to go back!

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!

About the host
Hosted by Val Parron
My husband and I are from Michigan and had rented this gorgeous home before it became available for purchase and we didn't want to miss out on the opportunity! It was totally rebuilt in 2007 and beautifully remodeled in 2014. We want whomever visits and stays at our home to be comfortable and pleased with all that this get-away has to offer!! We welcome you and hope to get to know you. Even though we cannot always be there, we have a manager who is available, if needed.
