Folly Beach getaway

Just because it was a double bed was the only drawback— we are used to a Queen. Otherwise it was adorable and fun a quirky and just what we needed for a quick getaway!

A cute, funky, Folly stay

We've stayed in this former house before, and were happy to come back. The rooms can be basic, but always clean and supplies all you need. I love their breakfast set up in the kitchen, and the self check in instructions sent to my phone. Please keep your voices low in the public areas, as the rooms aren't sound proof. It's a cute, funky, Folly stay, with parking and easy walking to Center St.
