Folly Beach, South Carolina
The Happy Shack
It’s a bittersweet offering that you are able to stay in one of our newest shacks. You see the Happy Shack was the unit WE lived in for 3 summers. We chose it because as you’ll see it is the best on our property-with 2 good sized bedrooms, each with their own full bath. We lived and loved every inch of it. From the front yard which has full afternoon sun, and is protected from the wind for those marginal beach days, to the high fence and overgrown vines you can pull up a chair and catch the shade on those 98 degree humid July afternoons. It has the biggest grill on property for you to fire up the burgers and steaks to perfection. In addition, you have an outdoor shower tucked away to wash off the salt and sand after a day at the beach. But it’s the INSIDE that we added all the little touches that will make you fall in love with her. With big windows facing south and west you can be flooded with sunshine (or draw the shades as you wake up on the couch with a well -earned hangover). For a touch of nostalgia you have our ORIGINAL Rathershacks sign in the vaulted ceiling living room. Also, you have one of our very cool dual headed fans to keep you comfortable and enhance the central air (let us know when you figure out which button makes it spin). The kitchen island was made from reclaimed wood from an 1860’s tobacco barn and is vintage South Carolina. We were going to take it with us to our new house across the street but it’s too darn heavy, so you win. All the appliances were upgraded to stainless steel so there is an air of Five Star luxury to your kitchen experience. You can’t miss our custom designed sunglasses + car key holder and sunscreen supply shelf—both are needed nooks for a vacation at the beach. It is our master bedroom we will miss the most…It gets morning sun, and you can watch the squirrels play on the lattice fence outside on most mornings. Our headboard is an old fireplace mantle found upstate in a 1905 Victorian house that we meticulously restored. It is the romantic centerpiece of our home, and this old mantle keeps her secrets. We painted it 49 shades of VERY LIGHT gray-nothing crazy-- so we hope you enjoy yourselves thoroughly! The second bedroom is adorned with a nautical theme and you will feel your inner ocean when you snooze. Both bathrooms have all new tile and fixtures so you can clean up in luxury as you head out on the town. With you as our guest, we know she will be in good hands.

We stayed at The Rathershacks Happy Shack and the place was great. The place was very clean and the appliances were very nice and actually worked. There are all of the essentials just as stated. The beach amenities are great, not junk. There are so many towels for the beach and inside. The owners are the greatest and very helpful. When we go back we will most definitely check their places first.
We could not be any happier with our stay!!! The property was exactly as pictured, clean and stocked with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The walk to the beach was easy and short. Beaches are clean. You can even walk to town. The town has typical beach shops, restaurants (the lost dog breakfast ??!!), ice cream and an awesome coffee shop! Access to the highways to explore the area are near by as well. It was our first trip to the area...highly recommend!!
Cottage was comfortable and cozy. Would definitely stay here again.
This property was everything we were hoping for and more. It was clean, quaint, and most importantly, close to the beach and Center Street. Katherine and her husband also supply their properties with a whole sheet on recommendations in the area, which we utilized quite a bit. The house also came with some beach accessories, including chairs and an umbrella. We would definitely stay at the Rathershacks again
This was the perfect spot for a few day getaway. Park the car and walk to everything you need.
clean, functional beautifully decorated unit. we want to come back this summer for a mini-vacation
Loved the location. Nice and quiet.
Home was just the right size for two. Think it would be a bit cramped if there was another couple. The home was well equipped. There was a little fly issue. Not sure where those fly’s were coming from might want to look into. We could not find lighting for the back yard and we grilled in the dark. Might want to change that.
Booked a short stay for a girls weekend with my daughter at the Surf Shack. Short walk to town and even shorter walk to the beach! The weather and food were perfect. Some of our favorites were: crab legs at Snapper Jacks, shrimp salad at pier 101 and tacos at Taco Boy. Thanks for the hospitality!!
Great stay and no surprises. Kat was great, super responsive and easy to work with. Liked the location and cute shack!
