About this property

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.
This property is licensed by the city of Folly Beach as a vacation rental - License Number 012907. Because of the potential of fraud we would not recommend booking a property not licensed by the city of Folly Beach as a vacation rental.

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!

Surf shack vacation

LOVED the surf shack. Perfect size for our family. Steps from the ocean. Close enough to Folly amenities and restaurants to walk but far enough to keep some distance during noisy weekend nights. A perfect oasis we are still dreaming about. We will be back! Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect for our family

Great location - steps away from the beach, easy walk to Berts, easy walk to all the restaurants downtown Folly, and still feels quiet and secluded. The oak tree adds so much to the property, giving it that old island feel. House was well appointed and our family of 3 had no issues having only one bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!

Weekend getaway at Folly Beach and Charleston

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.
