The Island Girl' is a clean, Sweet Older Cottage which has entertained happy folks for years and has enjoyed some recent renovations and upgrades over the couple years.

The guests who have stayed with her, loved her so much, they say they wish they could stay forever. Pack a bag, throw in some flip flops, a swim suit and leave your worries behind at the Island Girl!

Located JUST ACROSS THE STREET from the BEACH (How Sweet is That ) and only two blocks from the Famous Bert's Market where you can buy anything from ice, to batteries, to organic vegetables, sushi and craft beer, the Island Girl is your key to relaxation. On the first floor, you have plenty of space to relax in the large family room, enjoy a family meal in the dining area or just relax on the screened-in porch while drinking your morning coffee. Upstairs, there are 3 nicely sized bedrooms, a full bath and entry to the sun porch which looks over the palms. Need some time away from the sun No problem! Our backyard is nicely shaded from all of the beautiful, mature palm trees and there is even an outdoor shower to wash off the sand from your day at the beach.

At Folly Beach, you will discover the beauty and diversity of our quaint beach town! Referred to as the 'Edge of America', the town of Folly is very casual, and the locals are friendly. You will enjoy amazing sunrises and sunsets, rich history, good food, expansive beaches, and a town center pier for fishing and sightseeing. Within steps of each other on Center Street, you'll find many restaurants, from upscale to the cool dive. Seafood is always fresh and available everywhere; but no fear, for the non-connoisseur there are taco shops and burger bars. Cool shops abound. And, surfing is big here, so bring your board or sign up for a lesson.

A clean and beautiful beach, there is plenty to do at Folly with wonderful swimming, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sun bathing, people watching, finding seashells, running and biking on the beach, and just doing what you want to do. Need to work off some energy after lounging at the beach Just two blocks away is a wonderful Public Playground ,Tennis and Basketball Court.

And, if too sunburned, the charming and historic Charleston is just a short drive away. There you can enjoy some of the best restaurants on the East coast, explore the French Market, picnic at Waterfront or take a horse drawn carriage ride through the Holy City. Do some shopping on King Street, stroll through one of our beautiful museums, take a sunset cruise through the harbor or stop by one of the city's hot spots to people watch (including celebrities!)

Looking for a special or romantic weekend getaway and would like to customize your stay No problem! We would be happy to have a chilled bottle of champagne, fresh flowers, chocolate dipped strawberries or whatever you wish, waiting for you when you arrive. Give us a call and we would be happy to make the arrangements!

    The house has a great location, close to town, closer to the beach and a very quiet street. The host was fantastic and worked with our need for another night when our flight was delayed.

    The location is the best thing about this place. It’s within walking distance to the beach and not too far from the main strip and a 24 hour mart. Plenty of parking. HOWEVER, the house looks like a frat house. There was mold in multiple places including the laundry area and in the coffee pot. Thankfully, there was a newer looking Keurig that was available for use. The floors were all warped. Many step ups and downs inside the house almost like the house was pieced together. The door to the upstairs balcony would not lock. The outside shower was nice for rinsing items from the beach but the yard needs a serious mosquito treatment. There were many broken items when we arrived including the microwave door handle and the fridge door handle. After checkout, the owner accused us of breaking the fridge door handle even though it was already broken when we got there. Would not recommend.

    Overall it was a really great stay. Clean and exactly what we needed. It close to the beach. A bit of a walk to the town (not super long...12 to 15 min) and parking there was very hard without paying a pretty penny. Many people had golf carts and that seemed like it might have been helpful or a bike or scooter would have been great. No parking issues with that. The house was great. A great beach house...very beach bungalow feel. Good spaces, plenty of room for 4-6. Great bedrooms. Awesome family table. Comfy living room. Good cable. Bathrooms were perfect. Very clean.

    We loved this little place when we stayed here in 2022, but it has gone way downhill since then. It was very dirty, with old food hiding behind and underneath furniture, stains all over furniture and a nice layer of dirt and food crumbs in the couch cushions that my kids found of course. Mold in multiple places and I had to vacuum and scrub the stairs. We found two cockroaches, one dead and one alive. The microwave door handle is broken and the top back door doesn’t lock. The front door looks like it has been kicked in a couple times and the back door bottom threshold is not attached, so when it moves out of place it leaves a nice gap between the door and floor. With the holes in the walls and carpet, and the grime that literally goes from floor to ceiling, this place has become a dump. I do not recommend this place for families, especially with young children. The pros..location is absolutely wonderful (we were able to walk everywhere), management did refund us a portion of our stay due to the unacceptable state of uncleanliness, and management did come fix the AC quickly when it went out. I hope this place can be restored back to what it was. I wouldn’t not stay here again unfortunately and will have to find a different place on Folly for next time.

    Great location just a few steps from the beach with an access path next to the house. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of room for 3 couples. The host was great to work with and very responsive.

    This was a very good location. Definitely a old house with foundation problems but everything stayed in good maintenance. Would not recommend for people over 65 or physically handicapped because of steps inside. Beds were ok. Sheets were nice and clean. Hvac worked perfectly!! Good equipped kitchen. Refrigerator was ok. Bathrooms were very clean little small but manageable..

    ISLAND GIRL was overall a nice place to spend our family vacation. The living room furniture could use some updating, and the outside of the cottage needs to be cleaned, especially the deck railings ( up and down ).We were disappointed that there were no board games as listed.On the bright side, the beds were very comfortable and it is located in a very quiet area. We had a nice visit to Folly and would recommend ISLAND GIRL.

    We enjoyed out stay and the property is exactly as listed. We were close to everything of interest to us and the beach access is a short 1 1/2 block walk. This place is neither overdone or underdone, it was perfect for our purposes. We were also pleased with the ease of communication with the owner.

    The house was very old and the floors are not even and mini steps that we tripped over several times. The back yard was black dirt where we had to wash off when coming in from the beach and tracked in the house. I sweeped floor every day of course. It may be good for younger folks. But was not for us.

    We really enjoyed our stay there at the Island Girl cottage. The location could not be more perfect. It was fully stocked with extra towels and pillows. The initial check in was little unclear at first but the owner reached out to me by phone to ensure we got in ok, which I thought was great!

    Island Girl was great. Perfect 2-minute walk to the beach. The only thing that I suggest is adding more beach towels. Listing says plenty, but there were only 2. When traveling via plane, it was nice not to have to bring them, but disappointed when there were not enough. besides that, great little cottage to relax at the beach.

    The location is the best part of this home. It is walkable to the beach and restaurants. House was quite dirty. The floors turned our feet and socks brown. The couch had broken down cushions. Mattresses were in bad shape. Many dishes were dirty and the handle to the fridge was broke off. It is such a great location but I would not stay here again unless it had some TLC.
