About this Property

• Sleeps 5
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 650 square feet

This bungalow is attractively located for families and couples who want to come and go from the beach and downtown without driving, parking or walking very far. The beach access, directly across the street, is just 40 feet from the front steps. Eateries and shopping area are just 3 blocks away. We are located at the corner of West Ashley Ave. and 4th Ave. - look for our aqua bungalow with widows walk on the top.

One of Folly's original cottages, the Appreciate Shack has been refreshed inside with creature amenities. But the enormous front deck is still our guests' favorite - as it puts you right in the Folly action with great vistas. You can see and hear the ocean from nearly every room in the home - or listen to the ocean and feel the breezes. There's even a roof top deck over the porch if you want a expansive view of the island.

This rental offers guests a combination of comfort and nostalgia that's getting harder to come by...we have aimed to preserve the same flavor we adored as youngsters coming to the beach, before the era of condos and 'McMansions.' This property has 2 bedrooms and a sizable living area, both areas equipped with 42' flat screen TVs. Our bungalow has roughly 650 square feet.

The living area and kitchen are open, divided by a bar/table/counter which is an old hatch door from a WWII Liberty Ship - refinished of course.

Folly Beach is a six mile long barrier island, and the closest beach to historic Charleston, South Carolina, 15 mins. on the Connector.

We welcome kids of all ages and dogs. Our property is located on a corner lot. The backyard has a canopy of live oaks and is completely fenced. This home is not nearly as elevated as the newer ones; so there's only 10 steps from the back door to the yard. All these features make pet care and kid care a lot easier. And don't worry about parking - we have 4 off street spaces at the back of the lot; and another in the front.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Charleston vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Charleston area area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Charleston. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Charleston area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Charming Pet Friendly Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Charleston area attraction you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
