wonderful property. right on the beach, there is public beach access but even on a holiday weekend this section of beach was quiet. well equipped, clean, easy check in.
fyi this is basically no beach equipment, so you'll need to rent or bring your own
would stay again

We had a great stay and the house was very clean and comfortable. We really liked the location as the beach was sparsely populated in this area. Would stay here again.

We had the nicest stay at this house. Easy check in, perfect location, loved the beach access. Car port was such an added bonus with having a black car. House was well stocked, clean and loved the decor. Would take a vacation at this place any day!

This is the second year in a row myself, my husband, and dog, Ruby, stayed at this charming vacation home in Folly Beach, and once again it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt right at home.
Highlights:
Location: Perfectly situated just steps away from the beach. We enjoyed morning walks along the shore and breathtaking sunrises.
Cleanliness: Immaculate! The house was spotless, and the linens smelled fresh.
Comfort: Cozy beds, spacious living areas, and a well-equipped kitchen makes the stay incredibly comfortable.
Outdoor Space: The deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee and watch the sunrise and in the evening for an after-dinner drink. There's a gas BBQ also on the deck.
Responsive Host: The owner was friendly, responsive, and provided a complimentary bottle of wine and local baked lemon cookies.
We are quite sure that we will return for a third time to this little slice of paradise.
Thank you for an unforgettable vacation!

The property has amazing views. We enjoyed having the beach to ourselves during our visit. It felt like we were on a private island. We brought our dogs to the beach for the first time and they had a blast! Everything you need is on Folly. We enjoyed the Pier,Taco Boy, LoggerHead, The Bounty, and Bert’s store. It was a peaceful and much needed respite from our daily routines. We will definitely be back!

We loved our stay at Surf Song! The house was so close to the beach and an easy distance from downtown as well. It was nice being on the end of the beach where it is not so crowded. Our dog was so happy with the gated deck where she could spend time outside safely. The house provided such a fun selection of beach toys for children and adults alike which was unexpected but so very enjoyed. We also loved the communication by itrip Charleston and never having to ask questions about our stay.

House was great! It felt larger than photos showed. It was clean and newer. Very well stocked with kitchen and “starter” supplies. No cable. U have to log into your own streaming service so with small kids that was frustrating but otherwise it was a fantastic place. Beds were comfy. Lots of pillows which I appreciate. Porch chairs also great! Beach supplies that the house offers were useful!
10.0 / 10.0
My family of 5 had a wonderful time. Perfect spot to the beach and away from it all. Beach never got overly crowded even on a holiday. The surf song cottage was the perfect size and so clean. Everything we needed. Including beach chairs and other beach toys the kids enjoyed. Hope to be able to return and stay again some day!

Loved Surf Song! Beautiful home in a great location - we liked being at the end of the island, near the dunes and lighthouse. The beach was never crowded. We saw beautiful sunrises and watched the dolphins from the deck. Will definitely be back!
10.0 / 10.0
A beautifully appointed house with updated everything. Really enjoyed the views and the beach. The area was very busy over the weekend, but the weekdays were nice and quiet. We even got to see the dolphins in the mornings! Definitely a great place to stay!

The house is wonderfully located right on the beach, most beautiful view, clean , modern , well equipped and dog friendly. THANK YOU!
We truly enjoyed our time and HIGHLY recommend it. It is so comfortable , we didn't want to go out anywhere and had all our meals on the porch but it is close to the cute town and many good restaurants. This house made our stay at Folly Beach memorable, I can't wait to return.

The home was very clean, and the views were amazing! Great area for walking on the beach. The bunk beds are definitely designed for young children, and they would LOVE them! We have tall teenagers. One slept on the bottom bunk. The other slept on the couch, but he loved the view and was very comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

Needed a recharge with our furbaby and this home was perfect. The views were spectacular. We saw dolphins everyday. The house was so modern and clean. No need to take beach chairs or towels, they included everything. Loved cooking in the gorgeous kitchen while looking out at the ocean. DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE!
10.0 / 10.0
I had a wonderful time on a solo getaway at the bungalow. The location is ideal - right on beach access, glorious views of the water from huge windows in the living room and dining room, and on the quiet north end of Folly. The house is thoughtfully appointed, clean and uncluttered but with everything you need to make meals and get some serious relaxation. I loved watching dolphins jump in the surf while I sat at the dining table, taking long beach walks, and returning to the comfortable living space and calming primary bedroom. Will definitely be back!

My sisters and I spent a lovely long weekend at this comfortable beach cottage. The weather was great for late November/early December. Walks on the beach; shopping in Charleston; Middleton Place; carriage ride; and of course we put together a puzzle! We found communication with the host excellent and quick responses to any questions we had. Now we’re back in Minnesota facing good ole’ winter. No matter how cold it gets this winter, we’ll have fond memories of our trip to South Carolina to help keep us warm.

Surf Song was the perfect getaway for our family. We had some rainy days, but the quick access to the beach made it easy to get out when we could. The house was just as described and the kids toys were an extra bonus for our girls. The communication from Steven was also top notch.
8.0 / 10.0
Steven was very attentive and made sure we had everything needed for our stay. The home was very clean with great views from the kitchen and living room of the beach. The home is located next to the public access which provide traffic all day long. We enjoyed our stay here and enjoyed all the Charleston sites.

Enjoyed our visit ti Folly Beach. The house was clean and communication with management was easy and prompt.
10.0 / 10.0
House was just as described, it even has a new construction smell. Super close to the beach. Awesome views. The king bed is a very hard but that was our only complaint. The kitchen is well stocked with quality clean cooking utensils and dishes. The washer and dryer work well. The outdoor shower was awesome for knocking off the sand. There are a lot of stairs to enter this house but by the looks of it every single house on Folly Beach has stairs. If you are looking for a family friendly home in an amazing location look no further. The beach in front of this house isn't overpopulated either. Seemed to be just the other families/couples who had rented the houses next door. This house was equipped with beach chairs, toys, beach towels, and even left us wine and cookies as an arrival surprise. This was an amazing place for us. Our children are 13, 11 and 9. Oh, and this house is located towards the end of the island so it isn’t right in the heart of all the traffic and massive amount of parked cars. And you are a short walk from viewing the lighthouse.

Really enjoyed our stay at this house. Very clean, host was amazing and quick to respond to any questions I had. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. Even though it's located right near a public access point, it was still a quiet with not near as many people as other places on the beach. We will be back.

You can’t beat the views from this house and the beach is at your doorstep. The house was spotless when we arrived and looked great. Would recommend to rent a car or golf cart since it is far from town. Overall, it’s perfect for a relaxing getaway on the beach!

We loved Surf Song Cottage! Only steps from the beach. We stayed in many places on SC beaches and loved this the most. Easy access to the beach, the beach was not at all crowded and it is clearly dog loving beach. The house was beautiful, comfortable, well equipped, and the porch was closed with a gate. we were able to leave the door open, hear the ocean, and our pup could sit on the porch and people watch. We will definitely return!

What a perfect beach house for a week vacation. The location was great the people we met were amazing. I couldn’t be happier with my stay.

We really enjoyed the house. It was well appointed. The beds were comfortable. Short walk to the beach and about 30 minutes from downtown Charleston. Everything was very clean and the communication by the owners was very informative. I definitely recommend this place to others.
8.0 / 10.0
The house was very nice, welcoming and convenient to the beach that wasn’t too crowded! The view from the deck was great when you wanted to hear and see the ocean without having to get in the sand! You must be able to handle steps to access this great little house. The kitchen was well appointed with a nice surprise for us upon arrival. My only complaint would be the bunk beds that would be great for littles but not as easily accessible or comfortable for grown people. We ended up putting the eggshell mattress (provided) on top of the bottom bunk to make it a little more comfortable for my 20 yr old son. The other two beds were very comfortable! I highly recommend this house for a relaxing beach vacation!

We absolutely love Surf Song cottage! This is our second visit and it was just as amazing as we remembered. This cottage is super adorable, clean and stylish. It is in a perfect location on a quiet beach (weekends get more busy) and has everything you need for your stay to be comfortable. There is plenty of room for a bigger group but was perfect for our family of four to spread out and relax. We really needed the relaxation and lovely days on the beach. Thank you so much!

The home was newly built or rebuilt. Our stay was in May of 2023. Interior and exterior was in great condition. Nice walkway to beach, with outdoor shower for getting the sand off after the beach day. Two bedrooms were equipped for adult guests, while a third bedroom had bunks, geared for children. There was a sleeper sofa, so even though the description says sleeps 8, really sleeps 4 adults comfortably. Check in and out was easy. Located on quieter end of island.
10.0 / 10.0
Beautiful home and property. Stunning views from inside and out! They thought of everything you might need from kitchen items, a grill, beach items, towels and toiletries, and even games, books, and toys for little ones. It was a very clean and comfortable stay!
10.0 / 10.0
This house was great and the location was wonderful. Sitting on the deck made you feel like you were right on the beach, you have views of the ocean from the entire back of the house. It was wonderful! Stayed for 2 weeks and could have easily stayed longer, the house is very comfortable. Not very close to center of town which was fine for us because it gets pretty busy there we loved the quieter location. It's a very close walk to see the Morris Lighthouse and enjoy the scenery. Will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed our stay. House is nice, bright and clean. Kitchen has all you need. We enjoyed the fact that we were away from the center. We loved that our dogs could come with us as they are part of our family. Our questions were always answered immediately. Will definitively use them again.
