Great location, sparse amenities
The Birdhouse sits on a quiet street just a short walk to the beach and all of the fun places to visit on Folly Beach. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds chirping, you could hear the waves at night and the bed/linens were wonderful. It is a clean house and was comfortable enough, though lacking in some important amenities for the price. For instance, the incredible deck has four dining chairs and table but only one (old, dirty) chair for lounging. We moved a bed blanket outside to wrap up in in the evening and pillows to turn the dining chairs into ottomans. Any products in the home are there only because a former guest left them there - no body wash, a tiny bit of leftover shampoo, random bottles of sunscreen and aloe. They also did not provide any beach chairs or towels - I rented a chair and umbrella from Folly Beach Chair Company and they set up right next to the 4th St E public beach access point which was lovely...though I thought for the price of the home, I wouldn't have to also rent a chair! Lastly, the stairs to the second floor are steep and uneven - we were relieved not to have little ones with us or elderly parents. If you have the slightest of mobility issues, this is not the spot for you. Not sure we would rent this house again, but grateful for our time there!

Lovely Bird House
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bird House. It was very cozy with thick, fluffy towels, soft sheets and comfy beds. The kitchen was challenging for people who love to cook for themselves rather than eating in restaurants all the time. The stairs leading to the upstairs can be hard to navigate. The location in Folly is great but the no see ums are too friendly.

Nice Little Getaway
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Birdhouse. It was walking distance to any point on the island. The house itself was adorable, and we had everything we needed from towels to dishes to laundry detergent to room to work remotely. The stairs are definitely steep and need to be used carefully, but we had zero issues going up and down those stairs multiple times a day (including after a night of drinking on Center Street). The numerous windows provided ample light and warmth on the chillier mornings. Thanks for a great week in Folly!

Nice Spot in a Great Town
Nicely kept, well appointed hideaway easy walking distance from town, restaurants, and the beach. The space worked well for our group of two adults and 2 older teens. 2nd bedroom (accessed through the first) tended to get stuffy since the window in there did not open, and the stairs up to the 2nd floor were a little precarious even for our pretty athletic group. These were minor negatives in an overall great place. The kitchen had everything we needed to put together a pretty impressive little thanksgiving feast. The rustic/cozy vibe was great and we loved the extra touch of the turntable and cinyl records. All in all a great spot for a little getaway.

Perfect location getaway
Overall, everything was great with this house. It was clean and had a great vibe. I never heard from anyone on the management side, but had no issues. I would suggest that a deep clean be done, the washer was moldy and mildewed so we could not wash our clothes as planned. That was a huge bummer....

When can we come back?
We had an amazing time staying at The Birdhouse. A beautiful, unique accommodation with everything we needed for an effortless stay. J enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning. The house was cool, despite the 100 degree outside temps. Communication with owner was very prompt. The bed was very comfortable. Folly Beach was a charming beach town that we will visit again… and again.

Great location
The Birdhouse was in a great location. A three minute walk to the beach and five or six minute walk to restaurants to shops. A cute house that had everything we needed.
