Fantastic Stay!

We loved the house and the location. Plenty of room for our family for the week. Amenities are great and the full size w/d was key. The location is amazing. Steps to the beach, beautiful view and so much space for walks, fishing and playing with the dogs. Everyone we met was super friendly, too.

This spot was perfect for our family: 5 adults, one 3 year old, and 2 dogs. Great layout, awesome location, and good communication. We had great weather, but would have been happy here regardless; definitely hope to return!

Sarah & Steven were very organized and professional and extremely easy to work with. The house was very clean and beautiful, the kitchen well stocked with whatever tools you would need to prepare your meals.The location of the house on the beach was outstanding. Five straight days of watching the Sunrise over the Ocean was unbelievable. We would definitely recommend using the iTrip Charleston Beaches organization if you are planning a trip to the Lowcountry.Eileen & Jim Fanelli

Working vacation

My wife and I booked this place the last week of October for a change of scenery. We both work from home, so we can technically work from anywhere, so why not work from the beach? This house worked perfect for us. The views are great and the place is well stocked and well kept. Having owned a beach rental for years ourselves, we were impressed with the entire process and communication. We will be back.

Beach Front on Folly!

Myself and my husband just returned from an absolutely fantastic few days at Surf Song cottage located right on the beach. We brought our 2 little pups with us to see the ocean for the first time and the experience was just pure joy (sadly, they seem somewhat depressed after returning to Charlotte!). The cottage is absolutely adorable with a lovely cozy and modern interior and very well stocked with everything you need. I especially loved the kitchen where you can look out at the ocean while cooking. Our other favorite spot was on the front deck which has comfy seating, a large bbq and a world-class view over the ocean. We loved it so much, we booked another trip for next year before we left! A great little jewel box of a cottage in a fantastic and quiet part of Folly Beach. We can't wait to return.

Vacation in Folly

We stayed at Surf Song for a week and had a wonderful time. Cottage was in an excellent location and very well maintained. The view of the beach from the from deck was amazing. Perfect lodging for my wife and I with our three teenagers. We plan to go back and will book Surf Song Cottage for our next trip!

Beautiful as always!

We had a great trip and as always, everything was beautiful in this rental. The only issue was the motion light being out on the stairs. We have two dogs so having to pull our phone flashlight out wasn’t convenient. In addition, we pulled up one day and a guy was rinsing off in the outdoor shower, which is only on him but that night, we were extra sketched and would have felt better if the motion light had been working. Regardless, we loved the upgrades since last time and we had a fabulous time. We’ll be back!

Surfer & Ocean Lover's Paradise

Our stay at this beach house in Folly Beach was nothing short of amazing! I rented this place for my nephew's spring break, so he could maximize his surfing time while my fur baby and I could also enjoy the beach.The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with breathtaking ocean views. The house itself was spotless and perfect with the open floor plan. If you’re looking for the ultimate beach retreat, this is it! We can’t wait to come back and make more memories in this little slice of paradise.
