This bungalow is appealingly 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 Adore Shack has been refreshed inside with creature amenities. But the sizable 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 appreciated as youngsters coming to the beach, before the era of condos and 'McMansions.' This property has 2 bedrooms and a enormous 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.
