Description Description
$250 Beach gear credit included with all new reservations! *Applies to 3-21 night stays only

Welcome to the Perfect Beach Cottage! * Repeat guest favorite * This classic cottage emphasizes all that Folly Beach is about!  Pet friendly with dock, roof top deck and right across the street from the beach. 1630 East Ashley is a 2 bedroom/2 bath that comfortably sleeps 5 and will be a family destination for years to come!  

Upon arriving at the home the first thing you will notice is the great front porch along East Ashley, perfect for a morning coffee or afternoon nap after a long day on the beach. The main living area of the home encompasses an open floor plan with living area and kitchen combined. The living area has flat-screen tv, comfy seating options and a futon for additional sleep accommodations. Family dining table separates the living area from the kitchen and will be great for family meal or game night. The kitchen has lots of counter space, stainless steel refrigerator, electric oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher and all the conveniences even the most discerning chef would appreciate.   
The master bedroom is on the back of the home with a king size bed, flat-screen TV and marsh views!  The room has full bath with shower/tub combo as well as access to the screened-in back porch. The second bedroom has a flat-screen TV and queen bed. The final bathroom is in the rear of the home with walk-in shower. Fresh linens and towel sets throughout the home only add to this property's appeal. The washer/dryer is also located in this larger, back bathroom for convenience.  

The back of the house is the favorite hang-out spot with a screen porch and roof-top deck providing panoramic Low-Country wildlife views. Views across the marshland include lovely sunsets, the Cooper River Bridge, as well the Morris Island lighthouse. 

The only one that may enjoy the home more than your family may be your furry four-legged friend! The home is gratefully pet friendly and with the partially fenced-in back yard (side along marsh not fenced) you will enjoy the relaxing time with your family's favorite pet.

Home is located on East Ashley, a very quiet section of Folly Beach, roughly 2 miles to shops, restaurants, entertainment, and the Folly Pier. Only a short walk to the Morris Island Lighthouse beach. Your public beach access is across the street and a few houses to the left.

There is parking for 3 vehicles in the driveway. Additional vehicles must find off-street parking where available and follow the City of Folly Beach rules. Uber and Lyft are very scarce on the island, please plan your transportation accordingly. Check-in is at 4:00pm and check out is at 10:00am.

Amenities include washing machine and dryer, modern kitchen appliances, central heat and air conditioning, free WIFI, $250 beach gear credit, keyless entry, linens, towel sets, and TVs. A starter amenity kit for bathrooms and kitchen are provided that guests replenish as they need. Home is strictly non-smoking! Pet fee of $125 plus tax applies per pet with a maximum of 2 pets allowed. Must be 25 years old or older to rent, no exceptions. No events allowed that exceed the maximum occupancy of the home. Please contact our local Carolina One Vacation Rentals staff with any questions, or if we can help you make your reservation at 842-588-1212. We look forward to hosting your next vacation very soon!

Great way to celebrate turning 55. Cottage was great, views are 10/10. We enjoyed the fenced backyard and dock. Short walk to the beach, very quiet. We love Folly. Would love to stay again and bring my doodle. So enjoyed the art in the cottage. Great stay!

We love the house. Super old-school and clean. Has a great living room with a view of the beach through the houses across the street. It's not totally blocked. It's a five minute walk at most in the water. Great location near the washout and, based on the tides, you have a great opportunity to use the marsh. The hammock and cornhole are awesome. Everything was great. Including the customer service. The microwave didn't work and they brought us a new one and even gave us a credit. Thank you so much!

The property management and communications were excellent. The property was quaint, everything you expect from a Beach Property. It was just as listed, not recently updated but still very nice, location was perfect with the beach across the road and mash in the back yard. The home was comfortable, could use a few more kitchen utensils but not everyone cooks like we do. We go every year to Folly and I am already looking to book again, either this property or another but definitely thru Carolina One.

We loved staying at this dog-friendly beach house. The big fenced in back yard is perfect when traveling with your pup. It's a short walk to the beach - just across the street and down about four houses (the public ramp 1640 does have stairs so bring two people if you have a beach wagon - there is a handicap ramp a bit farther down). From the roof you also can see great marsh sunsets. We loved sitting

We stayed at the house for 11 days while visiting our son at the Citadel. It's a wonderful house, full of charm and character, and the location is perfect. The beach is a short walk away and there is a waterway in the backyard. It's a small house and perfect for two or three people. My husband and I stayed there and worked from the house during the week, and our son relaxed with us on the weekends. It was a cozy place for him to take a break from the rigors of his school and we could make him some home cook meals
