Folly Beach's charming mid-century bungalow, a 1950s two-bedroom cottage, is just three blocks from the ocean. Relax on the outdoor patio or eat alfresco under the umbrella in the newly landscaped yard shaded by a large crape myrtle; enjoy hotel-style amenities like bedside sconces and 100 percent cotton linens.

Folly Vacation 202 Beach Bungalow
Please note: This property is in a quiet residential community and Folly Beach has a strict noise ordinance violation rule of 1 strike. Respect your neighbors, keep the noise down, and NO parties or events.
Renovated mid-century bungalow with all-new amenities A taste of 1950s Folly Beach awaits in this charming beach cottage, newly renovated in mid-century style to recall an era when greasers danced with girls in poodle skirts on Folly Pier and you parked your “hot rod” right on the beach.
This 1950s two-bedroom, two-bath cottage is just three short blocks from the ocean, one block from busy Center Street and one block from Folly's famous Bert's Market. Completely renovated, it features an all new, fully stocked kitchen with Whirlpool appliances and granite counters, spacious marble walk-in showers, vaulted ceilings paneled in repurposed wood, and smooth, sanded concrete floors that are cool on bare feet and pet friendly, too. New, comfortable furniture includes an “L”-shaped, custom leather sofa that opens out into full size bed and banquette dining. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and has a cleanable filter, and a disposable paper filter can be used if desired. Bedrooms feature super-comfy king-sized beds. Hotel-style amenities include bedside sconces and 100 percent cotton linens. A few 1950s vintage pieces and one-of-a-kind artwork amp up the fun. Relax on the outdoor patio on the cushioned sofa or eat alfresco under the umbrella overlooking the newly landscaped yard, shaded by what is possibly the largest crape myrtle on the island. There's an outdoor grill and a roomy fenced lot, so bring your furry friends —Folly Beach is a dog's delight! The sleek, enclosed outdoor rain shower promises to be your fave spot for rinsing off after a day at the beach.
When you're ready to head to the beach, just grab the beach cart and four beach chairs. The beach access path at this location is flat, making is easier for kids and older adults to get to the surf. It's also a short walk to Folly Beach's many eclectic restaurants, lounges, nightlife and unique shops, also a short walk away are Folly River Park and Folly Pier, where you can fish, crab, catch a meal or shag-dance with locals. Parking for up to three cars in the driveway is included. craftsmanship
We are dog friendly! We have a one-time pet fee per dog: $125 up to three nights, $150 for four to six nights, and $250 for seven or more nights. The pet fee is added once your reservation is confirmed.

About the area: Southern Living has called Folly Beach “the perfect beach town.” Laid-back and casual, with a hippie surfer dude vibe, Folly Beach is a real American beach town that's home to both locals and visitors. From miles of beach and surfing the Washout—where local teens have been “hanging 10” for decades—to dining at locally owned eateries, kayaking island waterways, biking along the shoreline, fishing from or strolling the Folly Pier (the second longest on the Atlantic) or shopping at classic surf shops and unique boutiques, there's something for everyone here. No visit to Folly is complete without a stop at the longstanding Bert's Market, where the slogan is: “We may doze, but we never close.” Where else can you get surfboard wax, boiled peanuts, beer, organic smoothies and a turkey apple panini in the middle of the night? It's classic Folly Beach. You'll share the island with dolphins, loggerhead turtles, bald eagles, an assortment of sea birds and even a few endangered species. You might even get inspired, as George Gershwin did: he wrote the musical Porgy and Bess while staying on Arctic Avenue. Come to this real beach town for a Folly good time!

Super-cute house! The yard was terrific, especially since we brought our pup, and the interior was impeccably designed, clean, and well-equipped. House was closer to the beach than I expected -- 2 short blocks. I would definitely stay here again.
Cleanest VRBO we have ever visited. Great location quick walking distance from all things Folly, We would definitely like to visit again. Great Trip. Thank you 10/10.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was an easy 3 block walk to the beach. Bert’s market was a block away. The fenced yard was perfect for the 2 dogs. The trees and shrubs planted along the fence gave the yard a feeling of privacy. The bathrooms were renovated with large showers. The king beds were very comfortable. The partially covered patio was perfect for morning coffee. We enjoyed a perfect weekend.
We spent the month of April traveling the SE from FL up through GA then on to SC. After leasing at least 4 properties along the way, this was our favorite. Location was great. It had all the amenities. Thumbs up.
This property was ideal for us. Two full baths and large kitchen with open living area were some of the features we enjoyed. The outdoor area includes a courtyard with a fenced yard for our pup. We would love to book this property again.
My favorite home rental to date! It was so perfect and the location was incredible. The backyard is even bigger than the pictures. Will absolutely stay again!
The house was very clean, had everything we needed and the location is absolutely perfect! Short walk to beach and short walk to restaurants, shops etc! The house has a very nice fenced in yard too. I highly recommend and I would definitely stay here again!
The location is amazing. I love being able to see sunrises, it was great being 10 minutes walk from beach. The fenced in yard was very handy for us traveling with our dog.
Very cool property and the backyard is a little slice of heaven. Very private. The house inside is well done and very tasteful. Would definitely visit again.
We will come back this summer!!! House was meticulously renovated and furnished! Super clean, everything a family needs for a beach trip, just show up and check in!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was so clean when we arrived and well appointed. Our lab pup enjoyed walking the beach and playing in the dog park, both just minutes away. We plan to stay again next year!
and we hit the jackpot! a really cool bungalow, very clean and comfortable and close to everything!
the mid-century vibe was so much fun!
easy walk to the beach, pier, center street! and a first beach trip with our darling dog ivy! she was welcomed by everyone, she felt very special.
we definitely want to stay there again, soon!
My family stopped here for a quick visit after doing some college visits. We loved the place and wish we could've stayed longer. There were many amenities that we appreciated, from free laundry to paper products that I don't take for granted at rentals. The fenced in back yard and quiet neighborhood were perfect for our dog. Thank you for a great visit. We hope to be able to return next year!
We've rented this house a few times and will return. It's one of the best Vrbo experiences we've had. The house is very comfortable, nicely decorated, clean and walkable to several restaurants and beach. The management company was super responsive. Our dogs love the fenced in yard. Easy 15-minute drive to Charleston for touring and dinner too.
This home is absolutely wonderful! The location could not be better, and if you have a dog the fenced in yard is very spacious and beautiful!
Everything was very clean with plenty of towels and linens, and the communicaion was super easy! We loved this home and we will definitely be back! Thank you for opening up your home to us!
Overall, we really enjoyed the property and would likely stay again. The house is cute, clean, freshly updated and very thoughtfully done with everything we needed. The nice patio and fenced in yard were a big plus. The beach cart and chairs were helpful. Awesome location, easy walking/biking to beach and center street. Just a couple of notes:Of course everyone has different opinions- but my husband and I felt the mattress was too firm & uncomfortable. We smelled cigarette smoke in the home especially upon arrival and some lingered during our stay. The welcome mat was soaked in bleach/still wet when we arrived. While we appreciate cleanliness, you might consider your guests (and pets) who are chemically sensitive and use non-toxic/unscented alternatives.
Excellent location , SUPER CUTE house ,4 star on cleanliness- we had to wipe down a few things in bathroom - rest of house very clean maybe just a oversight from cleaning crew - wouldn't NOT book here because of it. House doesn't provide separate beach towels. Bring your own or use the Bath towels provided. Other then these minor things - great rental
I cannot possibly say enough good things about this place. My only regret is that I can’t give it more than 5 stars. This is a really neat and cozy spot where the host has given much attention to detail. We stayed here for a short weekend to visit our son who’s a cadet at The Citadel. This is a much older structure that has been very nicely renovated and well appointed throughout. Some of the better highlights are a fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances, a cozy living area, plenty of storage areas, very comfortable king sized beds, two full baths, and an outdoor area that includes an outdoor shower with hot water and a charcoal grill. The wood paneled ceilings and dimmable overhead lights truly add to the warm ambiance. Although we did not bring our four-legged family member, this is a pet-friendly home with a fully fenced yard that is safe for pets. The location is close enough to the “heartbeat” of Folly Beach, but tucked back far enough to provide peace and quiet. We will stay here again.
An outstanding place! Very private beautiful fenced yard just steps to the beach. The property was very clean and stocked with all amenities you could want. Felt more like a home than a rental
