Fantastic house with large fenced yard, across the street from beach and walkover. Two blocks from local market, four blocks from Folly pier and center of town. Protected outside shower with hot and cold water to wash off the sand between your toes! Great ocean views from two decks. Enclosed back porch/sunroom just off the kitchen which leads down to the grill. We also provide baby equipment (high chair, baby gates, pak'n'play) so it is one less thing to pack.
Spacious eat-in kitchen with a great farm table which seats 8 people and updated stainless appliances and granite counter tops. There is cable TV in the first floor bedroom, living room and 3rd floor. There is a nice GE washer and dryer in the sunroom/enclosed porch on the first floor. The house also has wireless internet service and central heat and air conditioning. There are children's beach toys, boogie boards and one beginner surfboard for tenants use as well as beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Avoid the hassle of the paid parking lots in town and park your car in the private off street parking at the house. There's no need to drive to explore all the cute shops and restaurants since it's an easy stroll to Center Street and the Folly Beach Pier. Our yard is large by beach standards and completely fenced. There are double gates at the driveway entrance which are able close. There is an outdoor propane grill to eat all the great beach cookout meals.



There is a separate storage area for house keeping use only. This space is not occupied or for rent and is not included in the square footage of the rental house.

    This place is fantastic!! Highly recommended. The home was spotless when we checked in. It is super close to the beach and has lots of thoughtful touches that clearly show the owners of this home want the guests to enjoy the stay. I hope we can visit again!

    Our family has been coming to Folly for the past 30 years and we really like staying as close to the ocean as possible. This house is in a fantastic location. We were right across the street from the beach access and could easily see and hear the water from the porch. We loved sitting on the spacious deck, part of which is covered, which was convenient. The yard is huge, parking is ample (enough for at least 4 cars), the house was clean and pretty. AC worked great, including in the enclosed side porch. We absolutely loved staying here and would stay here again in a heartbeat. It is an older home and is multi-level, so keep that in mind if anyone has mobility issues. We could think of nothing lacking! Great vacation!

    We loved the house! Conveniently located just a few steps from the beach, and so many restaurants on Folly. The house was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked. Owners responded to all of our questions, and check in was easy! We would definitely come back!

    Family of 5 staying at the Swell Cottage. More than enough space with a surprise loft we were not aware of. Short 1 minute walk to the beach. Stunning views from the patio, comfortable furniture, great AC in the summertime, and plenty of kitchen appliances/grill. We couldn’t say enough great things about this place!

    We had an amazing stay at the Swell Cottage. Everything was better than advertised. The location was perfect - just steps from the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shops. There was plenty of space for our family of 7. The beach amenities (chairs, umbrellas, boards, toys, mats, cooler etc.) made our beach vacation seamless. This was the first time we didn’t have to buy or rent things for the week. Lynn communicated everything clearly and was so geneelus. We can’t wait to return next year!

    Basically every review on this house is exceptional, and with good reason. It’s the perfect beach house for a getaway with kids..the ocean is steps away, restaurants are down the street and the house is exactly as advertised. Lynn is very easy to work with, and we had zero complaints. Stay here if you can.

    Our family had an amazing time spending our Christmas at Folly Beach. The house had lots of space for our party of 7 and was in an amazing location close to the beach and was walkable to downtown. The house was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities. The host Lynn was a very responsive host and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this beach house and our family hopes to return again one day in the future.

    My family was able to enjoy an amazing, relaxing Thanksgiving during a tough time for us. This home made things relaxing, it made it easy for everyone to have their own space, and more importantly it was PEACEFUL!!!! Lynn was super responsive and communicative throughout the booking process!!

    This house was perfect for us, we have 2 small babies so being able to walk back and forth from the house to the beach was so convenient. We loved sitting on the porch and watch the ocean as we drank our coffee every morning. The house was so comfortable for our family, we had an amazing time. It was hot so the walk downtown was a little uncomfortable but we did it with several small children and it was doable. Would highly recommended this house for anyone looking for a nice beach vacation

    We had an amazing stay at Swell Cottage! Traveling with my 80 year old father so easy access to the beach was essential and it was just steps away from the house! Also very easy to walk to shops and restaurants which we did almost daily. The location was also easy to shoot into Charleston for added adventures. The house was so charming and plenty of room for our group (3 adults and 2 tweens). More than enough space and additional hang out space on the outside porch. The owners are amazing and provide everything to help make your stay great - beach chairs, boogie boards, beach cart, beach toys, mats, umbrellas- it was all there to utilize and all in great shape! We will definitely be back!
