Beachside Boutique Inn โ€“ Folly Beach Rooms & Private Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"Our trip was last minute and with my dog, and I was lucky enough to run across Boutique. The price is very reasonable for the location, especially for last minute and dog friendly. Rustic, charming B&B cottage two streets from Folly Beach. We stayed in the Little Annie room in the main building. Perfect for two and a dog. We even managed to fit the dog crate! Surprisingly quiet for a beach hotel in a holiday week, and no noise even from the other guests. Kat greeted us when we checked in. Super friendly and very casual vibe. The bed was incredibly comfy. Information provided with signage on all the various things like WiFi and the neighborhood. Adorable little tiki bar in the courtyard. This place would be perfect to rent for a group. Continental breakfast with danish, fruit, bagels, oatmeal, the standard. A Keurig with an huge variety of coffee, and the paper to read while you eat. Centrally located in the neighborhood and one street over from the pier. Tons of good, casual beach eating you can walk to if you donโ€™t feel like driving to Charleston. Beach chairs and towels provided! Literally the only cons were the entrance steps being a little difficult for older folks with heavy luggage, and the mosquitoes, but Laura provides Off repellent for each room. They might consider fans for the outdoor areas, but otherwise thatโ€™s it. No other cons. Weโ€™ll definitely visit again!"

"Great little bed-and-breakfast with small rooms or cottages on the marsh side of Folly Beach. The staff is amazing especially grandma. Joyce makes you feel like youโ€™re at home with grandma taken care of you. We had the Azul blue room, a smallest room with a en suite bathroom the decor was cute 50 style The only negative was a personal preference. The bed was very soft. They have a great little sitting area where we can sit out and watch the marsh everything is in walking distance within 5 to 10 minutes even with a bum knee I was able to walk to everything"
