Charming Pet Friendly Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to beach
About this house rental
Nestled in Folly Beach, this attractive house for £283 per night is a great choice for your next trip. This cottage is ideally located for families and couples who want to come and go from the beach and downtown without driving, parking or walking very far. The beach access, directly across the street, is just 40 feet from the front steps. Restaurants and shopping area are just 3 blocks away. We are located at the corner of West Ashley Ave. and 4th Ave. - look for our aqua cottage with widows walk on the top. One of Folly's original cottages, the Love Shack has been updated inside with creature comforts. But the large front deck is still our guests' favorite - as it puts you right in the Folly action with great views. You can see and hear the ocean from almost every room in the house - or listen to the ocean and feel the breezes. There's even a roof top deck over the porch if you want a panoramic view of the island. This rental offers guests a combination of comfort and nostalgia that's getting harder to come by...we have aimed to preserve the same flavor we enjoyed as youngsters coming to the beach, before the era of condos and 'McMansions.' This property has 2 bedrooms and a large living area, both areas equipped with 42' flat screen TVs. Our cottage has approximately 650 square feet. The living area and kitchen are open, divided by a bar/table/counter which is an old hatch door from a WWII Liberty Ship - refinished of course. Folly Beach is a six mile long barrier island, and the closest beach to historic Charleston, South Carolina, 15 minutes on the Connector. We welcome children of all ages and dogs. Our property is located on a corner lot. The backyard has a canopy of live oaks and is completely fenced. This home is not nearly as elevated as the newer ones; so there's only 10 steps from the back door to the yard. All these features make pet care and child care a lot easier. And don't worry about parking - we have 4 off street spaces at the back of the lot; and another in the front.

Great little house that was perfect for our family of 4. Prime location, great communication with the house manager, loved the front porch and deck, well-kept yard, we even did a couple of the puzzles that were there on rainy mornings. Definitely a “classic” Folly house!

We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean, comfortable cottage with up-to-date appliances. Easy access to the beach and downtown. Loved the screened in porch and the fenced in backyard for our dogs. Lots of parking. Being able to see and hear the ocean from the porch was definitely a highlight for us.

We had such a wonderful time at The Love Shack! The house is adorable and completely spotless and a short walk from Bert's and Folly's restaurants and bars. We had everything we needed for a wonderful week including smart TVs, perfectly supplied kitchen and a wonderful view of the ocean from the front porch. Gigi was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely hope to visit again soon! Thank you!

Let me just say that they went above and beyond to make our stay a pleasant one! I’m in the hospitality industry and always try to exceed my guests’ expectations. It’s so nice to be on the other side and see when someone truly cares. Just a block off the beach, with all the amenities you could ask for and in a wonderful neighborhood. We will definitely be back!
With Warmest Regards-

Loved this property that allows dogs! Clean, well stocked with kitchenware, linens, comfortable beds, right across the street from the beach and beach access, fenced yard, beach chairs, boogie boards, and easy check in. Particularly loved old bungalow feel that's been updated. Comfortably housed one single and a couple and two dogs.

Rented this for my boyfriend’s 40th for the weekend and we absolutely enjoyed our stay. The location cannot be beat - views of the ocean and was so nice to be able to walk back and forth from the beach so easily. The house was well stocked, clean, and had so much natural light. The backyard was great, especially with a dog. Loved sitting on the porch at night and listening to the waves. Tons of parking too. Only 4 blocks to center street. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks for the great weekend Gigi!

I can't praise this property enough. It has a homey and relaxing atmosphere. So close to everything but also private. My best stay yet. I will certainly be staying at the Love Shack again and I'm so appreciative of the accommodation of my fur babies. They loved it too

Our group of 4 enjoyed the cottage for our week long stay in Folly Beach. The location and ocean view was perfect. Loved the fenced in back yard and deck for the dogs. Wish there was a second full bathroom and a TV in the second bedroom. Would definitely stay again.

Quaint, clean & comfortable beach home in great location - within walking distance to beach and downtown Folly. Only regret is we we didn’t stay longer! Host was super accommodating and responsive.

Our most frequently rented home was not available and we happened upon the Love Shack. We have enjoyed our little piece of Folly Beach heaven. This is one of many original FB homes on the island. Built in 1923. It is a great place for a couple and is dog friendly!! Pups loved the fenced in back yard. Bungalow has many upgrades including GE profile dual ovens and Microwave . The kitchen is well equipped and yes I cook especially when we have Crosby’s and the freshest seafood ever available to us. New beds and living room furniture. Screen porch and gated deck were the best for chilling when not on the beach. For 625sq feet it was packed with charm. Walls have been freshly painted to lighten up the house and give it a bit of a more light and airy charm. GiGi, the care taker was the best!! Her attention to detail, calling us before our arrival and checking in with us during our stay to make sure everything was ok was above and beyond. Would highly recommend . The owners also just added a new massive grill on the deck!

The proximity of this cottage was perfect to get to the beach or a walk downtown. The fenced backyard was great for the dogs to have a place to be free. Thank you for allowing them to vacation with us.
The house was clean and comfortable with everything one would need.
It was awesome being able to sit on the front porch and see the ocean.
Thank you Gigi for being so welcoming and gracious!

Our family recently transitioned to CHS.
Although our adult children have permanent residences, my wife and I are still living in temporary accommodations. None of our separate living places were large enough size to accommodate all four of us (and passing guests) to get together in the same spot for Christmas. So we elected to join together at this VRBO. Our whole experience was perect. The property manager was extremely attentive to us. There were some hiccups with electricity affecting the whole island as the temperature had dropped into the teens.
That created frozen water issues as well as electrical outages. However those barely impacted us due to what Gigi did to help us.
Overall we were very pleased with the accommodations...The "Love Shack" has a true beach house feel. Not one of those four Plex monster homes you see on the side of the road that look like a mini Howard Johnson's. It has an intimate, well thought out, great use of space. You felt like you were at the beach...even though (in our case) it was 10° outside. We specially enjoyed having the front screened in porch which allowed us to hang out there for a couple moments to get out of the house but also not be completely exposed to the elements. This was a great experience not only due to the excellent treatment we received but also the layout and the thoughtful form and functionality making it the perfect place to gather.

This cottage was the perfect little nest for our family of three plus our dog. It is cozy, well-equipped and very pet-friendly. The location is ideal with a view of the ocean from the kitchen, the deck and upper deck. The oak trees on the property add a certain charm. Walk to the beach and to center street where all the businesses are was short and sweet. We walked to restaurants and bars everyday. This place is a hidden little gem. We will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Love Shack! Right across the street from the beach and close to all the bars and food. The house had two bedrooms and everything we needed. Great communication from the property manager before the stay.

I had such a great time staying here with my dog. The owner is so nice and a great communicator and the property is right across the street from the beach. Center street is just a few blocks away as well. Folly Beach is one of my favorite places to vacation and this property is on the top of my list of places to stay.

This is our 3rd time staying at the Love Shack. I was very pleased to see the updates made to the interior as well as the more comfortable couch. We bring our 2 small dogs with us and the fenced yard is a huge plus! Traveling with pets is not easy and I appreciate folks that are willing to open their property up to accommodate us. We will be back!

We have stayed at the Love Shack multiple times and it’s always been a great experience. The updates were so nice and made this visit even more comfortable and enjoyable. Our puppy loved the fenced in backyard and the short walk to the beach made it so easy to take him for long walks on the beach. We enjoyed the fall weather sitting on the screened porch listening to the ocean, and the deck was perfect for morning coffee! Gigi had everything immaculate inside and the complimentary wine was an added bonus! We plan to come back soon to our favorite beach and our favorite place to stay. Quaint, charming, welcoming, and convenient to everything.

We enjoyed our stay at Love Shack, located right across the street from a beautiful beach, near the Pier and a 5 min walk from Bert’s, shops, bars & restaurants.
We arrived at the tail end of Hurricane Ian (turned tropical storm), so Folly was in mid cleanup, there were brief power outages and 4 days of no Internet.
Gigi, the property manager, was incredibly responsive to all of our needs during outages and went above and beyond to make us comfortable.
Love Shack is quaint (just how we like it), totes an awesome screened in porch, deck, grill, parking , washer/dryer and quality cookware! We prepare seafood when we visit Folly and this makes all the difference!
Comfy beds, couch and beach chairs are also a perk.
We loved it! Thank you!

Folly is one of our favorite places to visit, and we can now add this amazing house to the "will book again" list! Gigi was amazing from reaching out to providing personal touches in many ways. The house was beautiful, perfect to walk to the beach and great place to end a day sitting on the porch.
Highly recommend all aspects and look forward to staying again.
