Quaint Ocean View Cottage for Couples' Getaway or some "Me" Time

Ocean view cottage with vintage charm and easy walk to the beach!

This raised 1930s carriage house is absolutely adorable and the perfect cozy getaway for a couple or a private escape for one looking to work, read/write, or surf! With relaxing ocean views and the beach access just 25 yards away (less than a block) – this 1 bedroom house has a queen bed, fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and a porch perch to provide all the comforts of home. You'll spend your afternoons in the sand and surf, with a heated rinse off in your own private outdoor shower!

What's Nearby:
The heart of Folly with quintessential beach stores, locally-owned restaurants and bars lies a short 30 min walk or 10 min bike ride away (12 blocks). Within 5-6 blocks you'll also find access to basketball, pickle-ball & tennis courts and the “wash-out” surf destination. One end of the island boasts the Folly beach County Park, and the other holds pristine views of the historic Morris Island Lighthouse. During your stay, take advantage of the many outdoor activities & lessons offered on the island, including fishing, surfing, biking, kayaking, boating, and much more. A 12-mile/15 min drive will take you to historic downtown Charleston, where you can enjoy all that the Holy City has to offer.

Anniversary stay.
We had a wonderful time at the beach. Folly restaurants are awesome too. It was just a short walk to the beach. It was perfect for us on our 10th Anniversary. We were married here on the beach.

Perfect home base for a couple
We spent ten nights at this delightful home. It was a return visit to Folly Beach for us. Contactless check in worked perfectly, and upon entering, we found the house in pristine condition - totally clean with linens and bath towels presented tastefully. The kitchen was generously equipped but not cluttered. Sitting area was very comfortable and the two collapsible snack tables hidden at the side of the frig added plenty of surface area for dining or snacking. The shower is huge and amazing after a day in the sun. Can't go wrong with this little gem barely a block from the beach entrance. Home is within walking distance of the center of town but definitely suggest doing so on the beach. The roads are very narrow with little space for walkers, and cars speed by without regard. If using a golf cart, be advised parking and use downtown is heavily restricted as are hours of use. Only thing we would suggest to make it even more perfect - a couple of beach chairs and an umbrella. Also, area rugs in the bathroom and kitchen area seriously in need replacement. We heartily thank the owners for sharing their home!!

Old cottage and great location
Small cottage, fantastic location to beach access and overall area of Folly Beach. Cottage is old. Not for more than a couple. Myself and two young adult children stayed together- it was cozy but we are used to cozy. It has some wear- lots of sand under rugs when we arrived, rugs are worn torn, Furniture is very worn, and I vacuumed several times with the small vacuum. Not much in the way of dishes as far as storage containers. I bought some, washed and left them behind. Overall it was a good stay. I would stay again in hopes that some things are updated slightly. This cottage allows pets so you can’t expect things to be high end, but could be reasonably new- indoor/outdoor rugs, coach. The bathroom and walk in shower is great! We kept our dog crated except when we were there- windows allow for many distractions for dogs so need to be quick in raising the window shades.

Great Fall Getaway
We loved Fiddler Crab…super clean, the bathroom was spacious with a huge shower and two vanities, which is a plus! Great location for beach time. Two things that would make guests feel more comfortable would be putting blinds on kitchen windows, door, and side living area door and changing the lock on the side living room area so that the door can be opened from the inside. We can tell Fiddler Crab is a well kept place, and we would love to come back!

Great location on a great island
We've stayed here numerous times and appreciate the recent updates & new furniture. It had everything we needed, the location is in perfect proximity to the beach and is enough away from the crowded center of town. It's in need of a deep clean, however (hair & dust around the nightstands and urine spray on the wall near the toilet, presumed a splashed from those who stand to do their business) As with many older beach homes, the air quality is moldy, but stayed cool. The Vacasa staff was quick to assist with resetting the WIFI and were great communicators. We look forward to returning next year.

Just Beachy!
My wife and I have stayed at a number of properties at Folly Beach over the years and we loved this cottage. Great location, away from Main St, and just a block from the beach. Lots of nice touches inside, and enjoyed coffee in the morning on the small porch. An enormous walk-in shower. We had a problem accessing the Wi-Fi network when we checked in. They brought us a Verizon Hot spot device the next day which worked fine for the rest of our stay.

Property nice location but overpriced.
Location to beach great, would have appreciated beach chairs like owners usually supply especially when beach property. Furniture worn and dirty looking, did not even feel comfortable sitting on it. Kitchen stocked sufficiently to prepare several meals there but would have appreciated a small table and chairs to eat meal at. Between noisy road and mattress don't expect to get alot of sleep. Expected a lot more for what we paid. Cute little cottage with emphases on little but sufficient for a couple.

Adorable!
Fiddler Crab Cottage was a treasure! My husband and I loved its location - we could see Folly Beach from our living room window. The cottage itself was in great shape and so cozy. Cleanliness was excellent! Loved the close proximity to where the shops, restaurants, and parks were- yet very quiet and private where the cottage is. A great experience!
