Ample seating is provided on the screen porch, open deck, and under the house to gather together, sip cool beverages, play games, and enjoy the views of the ocean and the Low Country.

Loved the house! Great house, location, view! Loved the screened in porch and the ping pong table. Didn’t get to use the fire pit, but also an added bonus!

Small beach cottage that was perfect for our week getaway. Most of the time was spent on the screen porch that overlooks the ocean and was wonderful to see sunrises & had a great breeze!!

My husband and I stopped at Lighthouse Cottage on our way home from Florida to New Jersey. We had just went on a week long vacation with our families to Walt Disney World, followed by a 3 day long Royal Caribbean cruise that we got married on! The previous week was extremely stressful and exhausting. Lighthouse Cottage was the perfect place to stop and unwind. The house is in the perfect location for peace and quiet. All the way at the north end of Folly Beach. We had beautiful beachfront views!

Great Beach House, Super Outdoor space, Comfy Beds and super close to ocean and near the light house for family walks looking for shells. Very Relaxing. Great supply of Kitchen items for cooking and eating. This place is a gem for the price!!!

They should change the name to "Sunrise Cottage" because the view is spectacular!! No need to even step outside to see the sunrise, you can watch from the comfort of the couch! The house was exceptionally clean when we arrived, stocked with everything you need. We took full advantage of the fire pit on the chilly January nights. We look forward to booking the house again for the summer.

What a beautiful beach cottage! Cozy, clean and perfectly nestled among the dunes. The screened front porch was our favorite place! We spent hours there under the fans admiring the oceanfront view. The lighthouse was a 5 minute bike ride or 20 minute walk and was a site to see. We will definitely be staying here again! It was so hard to leave! It was beautiful and we had an amazing week!
