We loved our stay at the Surf Shack! It’s not fancy but it’s cute and comfortable. The location is great, an easy walk to the beach and downtown Folly Beach and an easy 20 - 30 min drive to downtown Charleston. The outdoor shower was a fun bonus. We loved it!

This house was perfect for the two of us and our little dog! We didn't have need for the smaller bedroom but it was good size for an additional person or child. The house is located conveniently to public beach access 3 and is an easy walk to Bert's Market. Only consideration for some is the corner style shower which allows for limited space and takes some getting used to for size; however the shower head is amazing and again the shower is very clean! Highly recommend this VRBO and plan to return ourselves!!

Thank you so much for the detailed review! We are delighted that Surf Shack was the perfect fit for you, your dog, and your beach getaway, and that you enjoyed the easy walk to beach access 3 and Bert's Market. We also really appreciate your thoughtful tip regarding the compact shower layout—and we're glad the water pressure made up for it! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

This was an amazing location, close to the "downtown" portion of Folly and a few short minutes (less than 3!) to the beach. The company was incredibly responsive to our minor issues, and offered solutions immediately. The shack itself was spotless and decorated perfectly. I suggest a change to the inside shower situation (outside was perfect) and perhaps a new bureau for the main bedroom. We would definitely recommend and stay there again!

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.
