Welcome to Swell Cottage! Awesome Second Row Folly Beach with great ocean views.

Fantastic house with large fenced yard, across the street from beach and walkover. Two blocks from local market, four blocks from Folly pier and center of town. Protected outside shower with hot and cold water to wash off the sand between your toes! Great ocean views from two decks. Enclosed back porch/sunroom just off the kitchen which leads down to the grill. We also provide baby equipment (high chair, baby gates, pak'n'play) so it is one less thing to pack.
Spacious eat-in kitchen with a great farm table which seats 8 people and updated stainless appliances and granite counter tops. There is cable TV in the first floor bedroom, living room and 3rd floor. There is a nice GE washer and dryer in the sunroom/enclosed porch on the first floor. The house also has wireless internet service and central heat and air conditioning. There are children's beach toys, boogie boards and one beginner surfboard for tenants use as well as beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Avoid the hassle of the paid parking lots in town and park your car in the private off street parking at the house. There's no need to drive to explore all the cute shops and restaurants since it's an easy stroll to Center Street and the Folly Beach Pier. Our yard is large by beach standards and completely fenced. There are double gates at the driveway entrance which are able close. There is an outdoor propane grill to eat all the great beach cookout meals.



There is a separate storage area for house keeping use only. This space is not occupied or for rent and is not included in the square footage of the rental house.

Folly Beach Spring Break

Basically every review on this house is exceptional, and with good reason. It’s the perfect beach house for a getaway with kids..the ocean is steps away, restaurants are down the street and the house is exactly as advertised. Lynn is very easy to work with, and we had zero complaints. Stay here if you can.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had an amazing stay at the Swell Cottage. Everything was better than advertised. The location was perfect - just steps from the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shops. There was plenty of space for our family of 7. The beach amenities (chairs, umbrellas, boards, toys, mats, cooler etc.) made our beach vacation seamless. This was the first time we didn’t have to buy or rent things for the week. Lynn communicated everything clearly and was so geneelus. We can’t wait to return next year!

A perfect place for a family to stay and enjoy the best of the beach and all Folly Beach has to offer. Steps away from a great beach that doesn't get too crowded.

This house is fantastic! Everything is so walkable & with 5 of us, there was plenty of space. This house has everything you need for a beach vacation - chairs, cooler, tents, games, surf board, boogie boards, and a beach wagon. Restaurants & shops a short walk away. We will be back!!
