Charming Pet Friendly Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to Beach

Experience the timeless charm of The Love Shack, a beautifully updated cottage ideally situated for both relaxation and convenience. Perfect for families and couples, this cozy retreat offers direct beach access just 40 feet from the front steps, placing you a mere short stroll from the surf. Downtown Folly Beach’s vibrant restaurants and shopping are only three blocks away, making it easy to explore without the need for driving or parking.
One of Folly’s original cottages, The Love Shack retains its nostalgic appeal while offering modern comforts. The expansive front deck invites you to enjoy coastal breezes and ocean sounds, providing stunning views and a perfect spot to unwind. From nearly every room in the house, you can hear and see the ocean—immersing you in the tranquil seaside ambiance. For panoramic vistas, a rooftop deck over the porch offers sweeping island views.
Inside, the 650-square-foot home has an open living and kitchen area featuring a unique vintage element, blending vintage character with modern amenities. Both bedrooms are equipped with 42" flat-screen TVs, ensuring entertainment after a day at the beach.
Set on a corner lot, the property boasts a fenced backyard shaded by mature live oaks—ideal for pets and children. With only 10 steps from the backyard to the yard, access is easy for all ages. Parking is hassle-free with four off-street spaces at the rear and additional parking in front.
Fully licensed for short-term rentals (License Number LIC040687), The Love Shack delivers a nostalgic, comfortable escape just minutes from the historic charm of Charleston and the endless sands of Folly Beach. Whether seeking coastal adventures or relaxing views, this home offers the perfect balance of both.

We aren't typically repeat renters at the same place (we love traveling new places and trying various spots!), but this is our exception!! Our 4th visit to this wonderful spot on 4th street and we will be back again next year. Perfect location, easy parking, dog-friendly (fenced in backyard!) and our daughter loves the "birds nest" viewing spot up top. What summer dreams are made of!

Wonderful Property!

My husband and I came to Folly Beach for our anniversary and we had the best time! This property gave us the easiest access to the beach and the downtown Folly area; we enjoyed walking to dinner each night. We definitely fell in love with Folly after our trip and look forward to returning!

We really enjoyed our stay. The communication was excellent. The place was nice and the fenced in backyard was great for our dog. We walked to the shops and places to eat. The beach is a very short walk. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Folly.

The gourmet kitchen made dining a delight, and the prime location provided easy access to beach fun and local attractions. The hosts' hospitality was impeccable, making us feel right at home. We can't wait to come back for another unforgettable stay!

The perfect beach getaway!

We booked the cottage for the July 4th holiday and it was the perfect getaway! Gigi made the check in process so easy and enjoyable! The place was immaculate, and we had everything that we needed and more! We dined out the first night but cooked the remainder of the time and had everything we needed. The location was right at the beach access and easy to navigate. The fenced in back yard is perfect for pups, and I love how the owner has given so much special attention to making her home a place that is welcoming for four legged guests! My husband also commented on this being the most comfortable mattress he’s slept on at a VRBO (and we vacation with VRBO all the time so that’s saying something!). 10/10 stay and we will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay and stellar hospitality!

Our Home Away from Home

This is our absolute favorite place. We have great memories with our first love ( DOG) running in the ocean , outdoor showers and hanging in the sun either in the back or on the deck. This is my wife and i absolute favorite place. We are looking forward to making the return again.

Awesome Place!!

This vacation cottage was absolutely perfect. Had everything we needed, great location, extremely clean and tidy, everything was just perfect. Even down to the little things like ice in the freezer, USB receptacles for charging devices, dishwasher, coffee maker, shoe rack (sounds minor but just an example of this place being set up for you and ready to be a vacation home). The porches are amazing to sit and, spots with both sun and shade, just beautiful.

Perfect!

We loved our stay! The house is super cute and comfortable. The location is great! It’s right across the street from the beach access point and a short trip to downtown. We had a golf cart but didn’t need it. We loved having morning coffee on the porch, and the fenced yard was great for our pup. Gigi is awesome! She made sure everything was perfect and it was easy to communicate with her. We hope to go back next year.

Love this precious beach cottage so much. It's nothing fancy, but has all the charm.... we adore the crow's nest on the roof, the large front porch, the fenced, dog-friendly back yard, the laundry room available downstairs in the basement, plenty of parking, the proximity to the beach and Center Street.... I could go on and on! We will be back!
