This is a great little beach cottage! We enjoyed our stay at Sea Glass Cottage very much. Check-in was smooth, it was great to have a dedicated parking spot, and it’s VERY close to multiple access points for the beach (which is fantastic!). We were able to bring our pups along which was fantastic. Just be advised that the yard was mostly off limits to them (there’s a sign that they can’t pee or poop on the grounds - that’s hard for dogs to understand, so we just didn’t allow them in the yard). They’re also not allowed on the furniture (they have free access to the furniture at home), so I spent most of my down time on the floor with them instead of on the sofas or chairs. If you’re not bringing a dog or dogs, this won’t be an issue. Also, the cottage was lacking some amenities that we normally have at rental properties - items like coffee for the available coffee pot (which was a big stress for my husband since we arrived late in the evening and he had no coffee for the next morning) and plastic wrap or aluminum foil to wrap up leftovers in. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. Oh, and the screened-in porch was delightful! I can’t forget to mention that!

Birthday getaway

This was our first time at Folly Beach, the cottage was as described, perfect size for two of us and our dog. Very clean inside and out, the property managers checked on us on our first day, very nice and polite. We went on tours during the day, walked the beach in the afternoon/ sometimes at night. The cottage is only a 20 minute drive to Charleston, and many other historic sights! We enjoyed ourselves, loved the Sea Glass Cottage!
