The size was perfect and the house was so cute! We loved the view from the porch and how close we were to the beach!

Thank you for your kind review! We were happy to host you and are so glad you enjoyed your trip. Come back and see us the next time you're in the area!
Our stay at Lighthouse Cottage was great! Quick access to the beach. The screened in porch was great to sit and watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee and at night to listen to the ocean waves.

Thanks so much for the lovely review! We're thrilled to know you had a wonderful time. Come back soon!
Beach view was great! And the house was cute and cozy! If I could suggest anything it would be put a king bed in the master that’s about it. It was perfect little home to stay in. Thank you!!

That's wonderful to hear! We're so glad you enjoyed the great beach view and found the house to be cute and cozy. We hope to welcome you back to Folly Beach soon!
Perfect size for myself and 4 teen/young adults. We loved the location - away from the busy area, walking distance to view lighthouse, and easy access to beach.

This property is exactly as described! The screened-in porch with daybed is perfection! The easy walk to the beach is so nice and the beach rental credit was perfect for two bikes to enjoy. We loved everything about this property!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you had such a wonderful time. We would be happy to host you again!
This was the first time some family members visited Charleston. We absolutely loved the house the minute we walked in. The great ocean breezes and wind were relaxing.
We all want to come back and just stay at the house no sightseeing.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and everything was to your liking. We hope to see you again on your next trip to Folly Beach!
What a wonderful long weekend at Folly Beach! We enjoyed all this property had to offer- the easy beach access, the convenient parking, ample space inside for our party of 6. It’s also nice being close enough to downtown, but far enough away to be truly relaxing!! We will be back!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so happy you had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure hosting you!
The location of the house was great because it is located further down from the crowded beaches. The house was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. The furniture underneath the house needs to be replaced as the legs on most of the furniture were eroded and made it hard to use. But overall, we enjoyed are stay.
The cottage was at the end of E. Ashley and there was decreased traffic flow and beach activity. Very nice! Screened in porch and car port area was used every day. Would absolutely stay there again!! Also received almost immediate responses from property management and were very cordial.

The problem we had was bugs. It needs to be exterminated before your next tenants.

Thank you for the feedback. Like all properties, insects can sometimes find their way inside; especially after a lot of rain. This house is routinely treated for pest prevention. We would have been happy to send someone to address your concerns had we been made aware. The pest control technician did not find any insects and we've not had any other issues, but will continue to watch out for them. Thank you for your business!
This property was beautiful and even better than the pictures. The proximity to the ocean and the beautiful view from the screened in porch in the back of the house was our favorite part! It is towards the end of the street and offers a more private experience than being in the busy section of town. It’s close to restaurants in downtown Folly and 30 minutes from Charleston where we spent a day exploring. Try the shrimp and grits at Rita’s in Folly! We used our beach gear credit for chairs, umbrellas, and bikes. The road is narrow and has no shoulder so riding bikes was challenging especially with parked cars.
