About this property

Sandcrab - Quaint Ocean View Cottage, Beach Access Directly Across

Ocean view vintage beach charm with fenced yard, screen porch and rooftop deck!

Perfectly suited to couples or a small family, nothing beats a Folly vacation in this 1930's era classic beach cottage – from the painted wood floors to the vintage wicker and rattan - this island home is relaxed living with all the comforts of home. While enjoying expansive ocean views from the porch and roof top deck, you'll have the beach breeze morning to night and the vast starry 'dark' sky after sunset. Situated just steps from the beach access and with your own private outdoor shower, popping to and from the house makes beach living easy. Cozy up in bed with new Dreamcloud mattresses, updated May of 2026!

What's nearby:
The heart of Folly with quintessential beach stores, locally-owned restaurants and bars lies a short 30 min walk or 10 min bike ride away (12 blocks). Within 5-6 blocks you'll also find access to basketball, pickle-ball & tennis courts and the “wash-out” surf destination. One end of the island boasts the Folly beach County Park, and the other holds pristine views of the historic Morris Island Lighthouse. During your stay, take advantage of the many outdoor activities & lessons offered on the island, including fishing, surfing, biking, kayaking, boating, and much more. A 12-mile/15 min drive will take you to historic downtown Charleston, where you can enjoy all that the Holy City has to offer.

Very cute place. The location was so close to the beach which was perfect, not even 30 second walk. Had everything we needed to be able to get groceries and cook. Loved that you can see the beach from the screened porch and the upper deck. At the far end of the beach, but still very close to everything! Highly recommend staying here!!!

House was exactly as described. The only surprise was that the beach was closer than we anticipated, which was awesome. The bathroom in the main bedroom was tiny, but we knew that when we booked. The other bathroom is huge. Appliances were all updated and worked perfectly.

We enjoyed our stay at the Sand crab beach cottage! It’s just as pictured with very cute accents that make it feel cozy and welcoming. Pros:-Well appointed kitchen with everything you’ll need.-Super close proximity to the beach. -Beach views from both porches.-Lots of hooks throughout for hanging wet things.-Nice outdoor shower -AC kept the house nice and cool, even on 90 degree days. -Rental company was super responsive with some questions we had. Cons:-Very little space in bedrooms for luggage storage, etc. (We had a family of 5, youngest is 3 yo)- There’s a large straw rug in the main bath that is quite literally falling apart everywhere and shedding all over. - Ceiling fan over the dining table did not work for us, but wasn’t necessary.

We had a LOVELY stay during our time in Folly Beach - even on a rainy wknd!!! Check-in and check-out were seamless! The house is as quaint and cute and well thought out as it looks online. Brand new appliances and views of the ocean from the roof deck. A perfect stay if you want to escape with your little family, couple, or solo. We loved it!

Relaxing week in a lovely town

We arrived after hours but it was easy to get the house and entry information. The house was charming and very clean. The beach was so close, we just had to cross the street and the roof deck with the view of the ocean was a great place for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at sunset. The ease of getting to downtown Charleston and other island beaches made it easy to explore the area. We really enjoyed our first visit to South Carolina.

Excellent location with a lot of character. Inside was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the A/C worked great. I think it's been a while since the picture was taken. The ocean air is taking a toll on the outside paint and screen door. All agreed we would rent this place again.

Quiet and Cozy Beach House

We loved the location of this cozy and charming beach cottage. The deck at the roofline and the screened in porch were our favorite parts of the house. The outside shower was also a plus when coming back from the beach (which is just across the street). The things we noticed that could be improved on are as follows. The house was not to a base level of cleanliness when we arrived. There could have been more amenities to make our stay more comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
