"This was the best best place to stay in Folly Beach hands down. It was next to the beach and within walking distance of all the shops and all the restaurants. The rooms were exceptionally clean and felt very cozy. It was way better than a soulless hotel room, you could feel the history in every plank of wood. In the morning while my wife and I were having coffee Wrigley came up to us to say hello."
