About this property

Wayward Whims | Oceanfront Folly Beach Cottage with Screened Porch & Direct Beach Access

Welcome to Wayward Whims, a classic 3-bedroom, 3-bath oceanfront cottage located on the quieter East Side of Folly Beach. With unobstructed Atlantic views, direct beach access, and a large screened oceanfront porch, this laid-back beach house offers an easy setting for families and groups of up to eight guests.

The large screened porch is one of the home's standout features, giving you a comfortable place to enjoy morning coffee, ocean breezes, meals, or time together while overlooking the beach. Step outside and enjoy convenient access to the sand and ocean throughout your stay.

Inside, the home is arranged on one level and features hardwood floors, an open living area, and a remodeled kitchen. The living room and all three bedrooms include Smart TVs, and the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals at home.
