About this cottage rental

The Island Girl' is a clean, Sweet Older Cottage which has entertained happy folks for years and has enjoyed some recent renovations and upgrades over the couple years.

The guests who have stayed with her, loved her so much, they say they wish they could stay forever. Pack a bag, throw in some flip flops, a swim suit and leave your worries behind at the Island Girl!

Located JUST ACROSS THE STREET from the BEACH (How Sweet is That?) and only two blocks from the Famous Bert's Market where you can buy anything from ice, to batteries, to organic vegetables, sushi and craft beer, the Island Girl is your key to relaxation. On the first floor, you have plenty of space to relax in the large family room, enjoy a family meal in the dining area or just relax on the screened-in porch while drinking your morning coffee. Upstairs, there are 3 nicely sized bedrooms, a full bath and entry to the sun porch which looks over the palms. Need some time away from the sun? No problem! Our backyard is nicely shaded from all of the beautiful, mature palm trees and there is even an outdoor shower to wash off the sand from your day at the beach.

At Folly Beach, you will discover the beauty and diversity of our quaint beach town! Referred to as the 'Edge of America', the town of Folly is very casual, and the locals are friendly. You will enjoy amazing sunrises and sunsets, rich history, good food, expansive beaches, and a town center pier for fishing and sightseeing. Within steps of each other on Center Street, you'll find many restaurants, from upscale to the cool dive. Seafood is always fresh and available everywhere; but no fear, for the non-connoisseur there are taco shops and burger bars. Cool shops abound. And, surfing is big here, so bring your board or sign up for a lesson.

A clean and beautiful beach, there is plenty to do at Folly with wonderful swimming, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sun bathing, people watching, finding seashells, running and biking on the beach, and just doing what you want to do. Need to work off some energy after lounging at the beach? Just two blocks away is a wonderful Public Playground ,Tennis and Basketball Court.

And, if too sunburned, the charming and historic Charleston is just a short drive away. There you can enjoy some of the best restaurants on the East coast, explore the French Market, picnic at Waterfront or take a horse drawn carriage ride through the Holy City. Do some shopping on King Street, stroll through one of our beautiful museums, take a sunset cruise through the harbor or stop by one of the city's hot spots to people watch (including celebrities!)

Looking for a special or romantic weekend getaway and would like to customize your stay? No problem! We would be happy to have a chilled bottle of champagne, fresh flowers, chocolate dipped strawberries or whatever you wish, waiting for you when you arrive. Give us a call and we would be happy to make the arrangements!

The children and I had a lovely vacation! The house was the perfect size for us and located within walking distance of everything.

The house was very old and the floors are not even and mini steps that we tripped over several times. The back yard was black dirt where we had to wash off when coming in from the beach and tracked in the house. I sweeped floor every day of course. It may be good for younger folks. But was not for us.

We really enjoyed our stay there at the Island Girl cottage. The location could not be more perfect. It was fully stocked with extra towels and pillows. The initial check in was little unclear at first but the owner reached out to me by phone to ensure we got in ok, which I thought was great!

Island Girl was great. Perfect 2-minute walk to the beach. The only thing that I suggest is adding more beach towels. Listing says plenty, but there were only 2. When traveling via plane, it was nice not to have to bring them, but disappointed when there were not enough. besides that, great little cottage to relax at the beach.

The location is the best part of this home. It is walkable to the beach and restaurants. House was quite dirty. The floors turned our feet and socks brown. The couch had broken down cushions. Mattresses were in bad shape. Many dishes were dirty and the handle to the fridge was broke off. It is such a great location but I would not stay here again unless it had some TLC.

comfortable, well-appointed and equipped, conveniently located, all around great. One caveat: not for those with mobility issues--steep steps to 2nd floor bedrooms and some steps up and down in living area.

The pictures and the real thing were different. The lower porch was totally unusable. Granted, it had rained but with all the trees, that porch never dried enough to use it and the top one was overgrown with the trees and both needed power washed really bad as did the rest of the house. The pictures of the steps in the back were obviously taken just after the steps were built. The cleaning crew missed a lot by not moving furniture. Dressers had broken drawers. The carpets need cleaned or just ripped out. It was furnished with everything we needed inside as far as the kitchen, plenty of sitting room in the living room and table and chairs to play cards or games on. It was a good spot for the beach tho, not too far and an easy walk. It isn't too far from the stores either. It was a safe neighborhood. It just needs a really good cleaning and fresh paint and it'll be a nice house. Also, lots of steps in the house, definitely not for anyone handicapped. The outside shower needs a new deck on it. One of the couples said that their mattress would make them roll to the middle of the bed and the couch needed cleaned or recovered. Toilet seats were all loose and the beach chairs were rusted out and not usable. Washer and dryer worked great.

We had a great family vacation. Kitchen well stocked with various sized cookware. Entryway room was amazing for storing our things and leaving our shoes in so we didn't have sand in the whole house! Beds were comfortable! Hosts were very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!
