We love Folly Beach. This property is very small and dated. The outside, deck area is very nice. The interior needs better attention and updating. Also, the property does not have a washer/dryer, which was sort of an issue for us.

Great place on a great shore

We just had two people (1 couple) but it would fit 4 just fine. Great decks looking out to an expansive beach. We were off season (End of Nov) so it was very quiet and peaceful. TV was a bit hard to figure out and some windows didn't lock, but we felt very safe.

Perfect Location

Staying at Somewhere else was great. Low key and mellow, with a stocked kitchen to cook in. The location is well away from more populated areas of Folly Beach which made it in turn feel like our own private beach.

Absolutely perfect!

This was the cleanest, most well-stocked rental we've ever stayed in! Super impressed with the kitchen and bathrooms, in particular. We had everything we needed in the house and more. Be sure to bring beach gear; whatever was available had disappeared by our stay. Will definitely book again!

Perfect place to unwind and find peace. About a mile and a half from the pier, so the beach was quiet and relaxing. Still close enough to everything. The house was cozy and perfect for our stay.

Great beach house!! It is dated but very clean!! Had a great week. Would have loved to have beach chairs at the house and the deck furniture could have been upgraded. Overall a great week!!

Perfect Folly Beach location!

We really loved our stay here. The home was charming and just as described and literally steps to the ocean. We spent each evening looking off the back deck onto the beach and even got to witness a few storms off the coast. The house had everything we neeeded, beach towels and accessories, kitchenware, 2 bathrooms, it was perfect. The location was also great, about 1.5 miles from the center of Folly Beach, which meant the evenings were quiet, but we had easy access to restaurants and shops. If we visit Folly again, this will definitely be where we stay!

Wonderful Home & Location!

Words cannot describe the wonderful experience we had at "Someplace Else ". The home and location are absolutely perfect! The house was spotless, and all needed items were available. We have found our home away from home, and hope to return soon. Thank you Steven and Sarah for the surprise welcome gift, and for allowing our family to celebrate an amazing Thanksgiving in your home!

Location is Key

The location of this property is excellent! Right next to the public access, requiring you to go around the front of the house and next door, easy peasy. the deck out the back is also a plus to the experience As a beach house this place is excellent; no fuss, no muss, meaning a little dated but enjoyable. Plenty of parking and all the comforts of home

Really nice getaway!

We had such a great time at this cottage on Folly Beach! So much better than staying in a condo with so many people. This stretch of beach was perfect and it was a quick ride to town for shopping, dining and hanging out. Charleston was surprisingly close too. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Never try to say this is dated! It had a nostalgic beach house feel, right out of a novel. Watching the stars at night from the swing on the water was irreplaceable.

Repeat renter

We have stayed many times at Someplace Else and love it. This particular trip was short (2 days) since we were attending a wedding on the Island and just needed a place that we could stay to avoid driving home after a long day. It provided a little extra downtime forfor our family to connect after the wedding. The weather wasn’t great but we still enjoyed our stay. The house is showing some wear and could use some updates but the location is awesome. We appreciate the welcome wine and cookies and early checkin. We look forward to our next stay.

surfer city

Since hurricane 🌀 Ian was out at sea it provided some very nice surfing conditions. Usually this time of year there are few people at the beach...lol...but this week the beach was packed with a younger crowd who to be quite honest were polite, left the beach they were on clean and completely focused on one thing...SURFING....we would go out to the deck or beach at 5:45ish a.m. and there were already surfers in the water...lol..it was awesome...the house was clean (blinds and ac vents needed replacing) it was an enjoyable experience...oh, the key to the hot water is to have your sink and shower running simultaneously and you never lose your hot water....host was very responsive..Great food in Folley...no need to go into Charleston.....I would definitely return ...Morris Island was like taking a step back in history...anyways thank you

Just right :)

Our stay at Someplace Else was exactly what we expected from the description and photos online. The location was great. Just far enough down the beach that there was not much traffic, so it was quiet and we could have the windows open to hear the surf. The public beach access is right next to the cottage. The cottage itself was spotless. We were a little concerned about the hot water as described by other reviewers, but found it was easy to adapt to. Even our 8 year old was able to manage getting his showers on his own. Having the second bathroom as a family of 5 was a great convenience. The kitchen is equipped well enough for a vacation stay. We made at least two meals at the cottage each day. Otherwise we spent our days mostly on the beach. The kids loved boogie boarding with the surfers. We did go into Charleston for a visit to the Charleston Museum and to pick up vegan/gluten free donuts at Glazed... and easy 20 minute ride into town. We loved it and will definitely plan to return. Thanks for having a great affordable option on this beautiful beach!

Awsome House w amazing views

Many here have commented on the "Rustic Nature" and it is true, if you are looking for sparkly brand new modern accommodations, this will not be the house for you. That being said if you want a TRUE "Beach House" experience, this is an amazing house. the Bedroom is fantastic, Large windows (That Open) where you get a lot of light and can listen to the ocean, The bed while only a Queen (I'm 6'4") is very comfortable. A comfortable Living Room with plenty of seating. Well appointed Kitchen, although a Keurig would be nice. :) Now lets talk about the outside, the Deck is the most amazing part of the house, Four Tables with lots of chairs. an area to set up a bar, a massive sundeck area (this is separate from where the tables are) and finally a swing situated in the Dunes. If you are looking for one of the most romantic getaways of your life this is it. the privacy on the deck is unmatched for a beach house, tree lines to the left and right of the deck area. If you look deep there are a few MINOR maintenance and cosmetic issues but nothing that detracts from an awesome experience We will definitely be coming back if not this summer but for the Flip Flop drop again next year.
