About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

PERFECT LOCATION 4 Blocks to the Beach and Eateries. "Park it and Forget It!"

Pets considered but none under 3 years old and weighing over 40 lbs. A $175.00 Nonrefundable Pet Deposit, Shots and flea medication information required. Any damage to the property will be an additional charge.

Live like a local in this warm and welcoming cottage located on a very convenient and friendly street in Folly Beach. You'll really enjoy this fun "Folly Style" original property with so much to offer that you may not want to leave. Especially when you'll most probably get to know the many of the locals strolling by, running, biking, golf carting, or walking their "pups". They're very friendly and love to help visitors and make them feel welcomed.

I think you'll also enjoy the landscaping complete with Azaleas, Confederate Jasmine, Roses, Honeysuckle, ferns, with seasonal fruit trees and flowers. At night the "Lil Pearl" comes alive, yes with a unique purple lit sidewalk. Landscape lighting, and other outdoor lights make your stay fun, festive and not very easy to miss at night. You can always find your way "home".

Much effort and attention has been put forth to make this house enjoyable for you and your party. I have 2 vacation properties at Folly Beach, and I try to do everything possible to make my guests comfortable and ensure you have a wonderful vacation experience. Watch out if you visit during a holiday because it will most probably decorated for you!

This fun and cheerful cottage is painted using light, fresh, iridescent colors that are sure to relax you and put you in a great mood to enjoy" Folly". The furnishings are up to date with style and your comfort in mind. Central heat and air have been added and ceiling fans are in LR and the 2 BRs for your additional comfort.
The kitchen is a nice size, cozy, fresh and well equipped for any meal you wish to prepare. Plenty of dishes, pots, pans, bake wear, crock pots, blender, Keurig, coffee pots, coffee bean grinder, pots, and even a George Foreman indoor grilling for a quick and easy meal. Seating for 4 at the kitchen bar is available for inside dining.

The Master BR has a comfortable queen bed, and the 2nd BR has a comfortable full-sized bed. Both bedrooms have upscaled bed linens and plenty of drawer space. You also get ample towels, face towels, and wash clothes for the length of your visit. The room's furnishings are very nicely appointed with black out curtains AND blinds for a restful sleep.

On the deck, a private, spacious, and enclosed outdoor shower has just been added with hot and cold water for a quick refreshing shower after the beach or just to help get everyone ready for the day or evening. Also located on the deck is a gazebo to relax under and "people watch", cook out on the grill, dine or, build a fire in the outdoor Chimenea, if weather permitting, maybe just listen to the rain on the tin roof.
Much thought, time, and preparation has been given to this little cottage for your escape and I want you to be very pleased with your selection of the "Lil Pearl". The mission of this property is to help you feel like you are experiencing something very different, fun, and comfortable while feeling "at home" during your much deserved "time off" with your friends and family.

Two off street parking spaces are available with 2 additional spaces on the corner of street next door. With this location, you can just park your car and walk it, bike it, rent a golf cart and slowly ride it. You'll sure to see a lot more interesting sights, as you don't want to miss a thing.

The Lil' Pearl is a great spot for a smaller family or 4 adults with overflow on the full pull-out sofa in the living room for 2 additional guests.

Lay back and enjoy the easy feeling of 'Old Folly' that you'll certainly experience at the Lil' Pearl '. You'll love how centrally located you will be by being so close to the beach, parks, and the business district with all of the shopping and restaurants.
You're going to enjoy the simplicity of this little cottage. Bert's, our local grocery store and the 'adult beverage' store is few blocks away they never close. They have great "eats", too. A park with basketball courts, tennis, a skateboard park and outdoor play equipment for the kids is only 3 blocks away. Next door to the park is social treat for your 4 legged "child" which is a "doggy" park.

"Rest assured" I have the "Lil Pearl" treated for mosquitoes and pests on a regular basis. As you may know, the South is known for certain critters that are most unpleasant and that we want to avoid. My Pest Management Company is on call for the "Lil Pearl" at all times. No worries.

Since there's only 1 step up to the house, it's a "God send" WHEN you're unloading your luggage and groceries or" just don't t to do steps". Another plus for saving this cottage! After living in the 'air' for 26 yrs. (referring to 13-foot pilings that new homes are now required to place their 1st floors upon) I do appreciate this great feature and I think you will, too.
When you do have to leave the "Lil Pearl", I hopefully, you'll have experienced "Folly" as it is and discovered a place that's special, fun, eclectic, and just easy. if so, I know you'll want to return to" Folly"" and hopefully back to the "Lil Pearl, as well.

Fred Holland Realty also rents this property, and you are welcome to call LaJuan Kennedy for a reference at 843 588 2232 and click on my Profile Picture to take a peek at my other properties on "Folly". I also have a Studio Apt. that's located in the center of James Island that sleeps 2. It's not listed on VRBO, you'll have to ask me.

I hope to see you soon and will do everything possible to introduce you to the relaxing and laid-back lifestyle that the cottage and Folly Beach has to offer. I'll be right here to help you feel right at home and have a great vacation!

A great little beach house

The Lil' Pearl was a sweet little beach house and was fully equipped with anything we might need. We were able to walk to the beach and to the downtown area to find places to eat. My husband and I enjoyed our get-away.

just the two of us. A little smaller than expected but ended up being the right size for us. Close enough to town but also far enough to have quiet and minimal traffic.

Had such a great stay!

The Lil' Pearl is such a great location. Walking distance to Bert's, the beach is super close and the main drag of town. It was extremely clean and had anything you would need. The outside seating area and the outdoor shower was perfect. I will definitely stay there again and I would recommend it to other people.

Easter Holiday

Great location

The property is very cute and clean. Location is great for a quick walk to the beach and restaurants. The Low Life bar up the street is also a great find. The second shower is outside, which would have been cool, but it rained the entire time we were there. I will stay there again when I am back at the beach.

A Great Stay!

My wife and I plus our two dogs stayed at Lil Pearl last week. Teresa greeted us when we arrived and was most gracious to us. The house was perfect for the two of us. It had everything we needed and, in fact, my wife said she felt pampered by the little touches that Teresa provided. We would definitely stay there again!

Sweet Cozy Home Near Center Street and Beach

Small home worked well for me and my husband and two small dogs. Weather for our winter month-long stay was much warmer than it was at home in Western NC, and we were able to get a 5-7 mile walk on the beach in every day. The owner is very hands-on and will respond quickly if you have any questions. Loved Lolo’s, delicious fresh seafood and relatively inexpensive.

It was Ok

The location was good. The house seemed like it was in disrepair in some places, including the deck leading up to the entry door. The A/C was subpar; seemed to take long to cool house. Bought a box fan to remedy the issue. Note: there's no dishwasher. Overall, we had a good time.

A weekend away to worry about no one but ourselves. Little Pearl was the perfect spot and Theresa was a perfect host. When we arrived the toilet want working and we had a plumber on site within minutes. The place was cozy, convenient and well equipped. Check out Bert’s and make sure you trek to the end of the island to see Morris Lighthouse.

It was pure Folly!

Lovely beach cottage decorated by artsy talented woman steps to the beach. These four blocks are equal to one block to me, with one or two homes per block! Watched the sunrise every morning and grabbed our free coffee at Bert’s on the way back home. Ate seafood every day;).

Feels like Folly

This sweet little cottage is perfect for a relaxing,- has a real "Real Folly" feel. No detail is left undone. It is clean, quaint, and comfortable with all of the amenities as advertised. The outdoor shower was awesome after long days of biking and beaching. I stayed with 2 other girlfriends and had a great few days! Bring your bikes, park your car and enjoy. Theresa is an amazing host. You won't be disappointed!

Christmas on Folly

We spent a great week at the Lil Pearl over Christmas 2015. The property is so cozy and close to the beach, it is perfect for any time of year. The house itself is extremely clean and welcoming and the kitchen was equipped well enough for us to prepare Christmas dinner with no problem. It truly is the little things that make this house so wonderful. The beds are soft and comfy, the bathroom is clean and has a great shower head, there are magazines and blankets in the living room that give it a true homey feeling. The owners of this property are wonderful as well, true southern hospitality. You will love your time here as much as we did... I promise! Thank you for a lovely stay.
