About this property
Pet Friendly, Dock, & Rooftop deck - Repeat Guest Favorite!
$250 Beach gear credit included with all new reservations! *Applies to 3-21 night stays only
Welcome to the Perfect Beach Cottage! * Repeat guest favorite * This classic cottage emphasizes all that Folly Beach is about! Pet friendly with dock, roof top deck and right across the street from the beach. 1630 East Ashley is a 2 bedroom/2 bath that comfortably sleeps 5 and will be a family destination for years to come!
Upon arriving at the home the first thing you will notice is the great front porch along East Ashley, perfect for a morning coffee or afternoon nap after a long day on the beach. The main living area of the home encompasses an open floor plan with living area and kitchen combined. The living area has flat-screen tv, comfy seating options and a futon for additional sleep accommodations. Family dining table separates the living area from the kitchen and will be great for family meal or game night. The kitchen has lots of counter space, stainless steel refrigerator, electric oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher and all the conveniences even the most discerning chef would appreciate.
The master bedroom is on the back of the home with a king size bed, flat-screen TV and marsh views! The room has full bath with shower/tub combo as well as access to the screened-in back porch. The second bedroom has a flat-screen TV and queen bed. The final bathroom is in the rear of the home with walk-in shower. Fresh linens and towel sets throughout the home only add to this property's appeal. The washer/dryer is also located in this larger, back bathroom for convenience.
The back of the house is the favorite hang-out spot with a screen porch and roof-top deck providing panoramic Low-Country wildlife views. Views across the marshland include lovely sunsets, the Cooper River Bridge, as well the Morris Island lighthouse.
The only one that may enjoy the home more than your family may be your furry four-legged friend! The home is gratefully pet friendly and with the partially fenced-in back yard (side along marsh not fenced) you will enjoy the relaxing time with your family's favorite pet.

We enjoyed quick assess to the beach, backyard on the marsh and breezy porch.
The cottage is comfortable and fully equipped for cooking. It’s a great place to enjoy Folly Beach.
Best of both worlds…ocean view and marsh view. The porches allow so much enjoyment. Beds were very comfy. Short walk to the beach, literally across the street and few houses down to beach access. Beach never crowded. Wished we had brought along our doodle, would have been a great place for him to stay with us. Dog friendly, but would never be able to tell dogs are allowed. Clean. Love to stay again.
The house was a quiet getaway with a lovely sunset view over the marsh. We enjoyed the porches, quick walk to the beach and nice bike rides to both ends of the island. The house had everything we needed and the property manager was very responsive to our call when the internet went out. They came right over to troubleshoot and fix the issue. Would certainly stay there again if we came to the beach with our dog.
We had a wonderful stay on Folly Beach and we were comfortable in this sweet little house. We were very grateful to find a place close to the beach where we could also bring our dog. The house itself is cute and we loved the front porch especially.
When we arrived, we encountered a few issues, but the Carolina One managers were quick to remedy the issues.
As other reviewers have noted, you will need to bring a pillow if you have specific pillow needs. We also would have given the place five stars but it needs some TLC going forward — we noticed a good bit of wear and tear indicative of a well-loved home that needs some attention.
Lastly, if you are coming in the summer months, bring mosquito repellent. The mosquitoes on the marsh side were out in force.
The cottage is small, but it had everything we needed for a family of 4: parents and kids ages 21 and 17.
The house was very clean when we arrived - plenty of towels.
We just had one problem getting in the front door (perhaps we entered the wrong code too many times?), but customer service was responsive and very helpful with that.
We really liked sitting on the front porch. The house is not right on the beach, but is only 1 row back, so we could still see the beach.
Getting to the beach was relatively easy: there are 2 public access bridges within walking distance. The one a little further north at Ocean Street has a ramp all the way to the beach -- which is easier if you're pulling a wagon.
Great location. The area is quiet. It's about a 5 min drive to the restaurants/shops -- not walking distance.
Getting to downtown Charleston and other attractions, like Patriots Point, is a relatively short drive, about 20-30 min.
We had a great stay! Thanks!
We have stayed on this property with different owners and loved it because we could bring our little yorkie. We now have kids so its hard to accommodate us and my sister but we brought a tent and it was perfect! There were some things we saw that needed updating but they did not interfere with our trip. The microwave numbers flashed the whole time so you couldn’t set the time. The side door needs new weatherstripping because it’s completely gone. We love the front porch for eating and listening to the ocean, I could sit out there all day. The king bed is very comfortable. The beach access is across the street but the last step was missing, which is not safe, I guess its from sand erosion. The roof top deck is great if you want to be high up, we never sat out there because the front porch is the best! The driveway is great for parking. We have to bring a small trailer for our luggage and bikes and its great to be able to park safely and not on the street. And we love to rent a golf cart and park it easily too. It was a great stay, wish we could have bought it when the previous owners sold it. Its a great beach house. Thanks

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Pictures are deceiving
The location was fantastic and we appreciated the fact that it was dog friendly. However, the floor was apparently covered in individual square floor tiles at least three of which were not adhered properly and kept moving around presenting a tripping/slipping hazard. The screen door to the backyard had no handle on the outside and the door had to be lifted up to get it opened rendering it impossible for my 7-year-old to use without assistance. The screen door to the backyard was rotted and splitting apart on the outside and had plastic chicken wire around it. The upper deck was an accident waiting to happen with a very wobbly railing which made it extremely unsafe to use. The backyard looked very nice, and the dock was nice, but the hammock was just a waste of space as there was a gaping hole in the netting which made it unsafe and unusable. There were 5 rusted bikes under the house all with no caps on the air valves on the tires, so all tires were flat. The only tire pump was completely rusted and barely worked. The washer/dryer was a small stacked unit which was difficult with a family of 5. FYI - A/C can be set no lower than 72 and during the day cannot keep up with heat. Safety issues should be addressed immediately.
Our stay at the Perfect Beach Cottage was awesome. The home was just as it was advertised. It was very comfortable, well supplied and had great amenities. The proximity to the beach out front and the beautiful marsh out back was so peaceful! We also appreciated their welcoming of four legged family members. We would love to come stay here again.
We loved our stay at the Perfect Cottage! It was the ideal place to relax and unwind. We had a hard time choosing our favorite spot — the front deck with its peek of the ocean, the screened-in porch overlooking the marsh, or the Adirondack chairs by the boat dock in the backyard. Every spot was peaceful and beautiful in its own way.
Our stay was great. The location is great and the walk to the beach is short. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings. This place is great for a small family or a couple that wants to get away.

Great vacation!
The cottage was clean and perfectly located. The beach was beautiful, easy to access, and never crowded. Loved having the bikes and riding them on the beach.
This is a great property to stay at. Wonderful views over the tidal marsh each evening as the sun set, just steps away from the beach. Everything you could ask for! Highly recommended.
It was a great location in proximity to beach. Perfect place for dogs. Beach chairs need to be replaced and it would have been nice if beach towels were provided. Very skimpy in shower essentials we had to buy our own for 3 people for only 4 days. All other places we have stayed it’s been oprovidided.

Love love!
We had an amazing vaca and loved this home! It is a short walk to the ocean and the backyard was perfect for our pups! Very clean and well maintained. Folly Beach is a very quaint town and Charleston was only a short drive away.
