This charming cottage is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 minutes from Folly Beach and 8 minutes from downtown historical Charleston. This hideout is not in a neighborhood and the weather right now is perfect for the new firepit with cabana out back! The porch over looks a large back yard that is framed in by four majestic Grand Oaks that are draped with Spanish Moss, hence how the cottage was named. While relaxing it is possible to see occasional wildlife!
There is a large driveway for big toys! Grocery store, restaurant/bar and brewery right across Folly Rd.
OP-04780 Guest access: The charm of the place is that it's tucked off the road! Rafael Lane can be tricky to find. Get in the median right across from Bohemian Bull restaurant. The dirt road is on the left. After turning onto the Lane, take a right at the first drive and come straight back down a gravel drive. There will be a larger house on right with the cottage after.
We were very impressed! Beautiful area, peaceful & serene. Very clean and neat & well stocked on essential thingsWe had a wonderful time! Would love to come back.
We loved our stay at Grand Oaks Cottage. The owner, Andy, was so kind and accommodating. Our dogs enjoyed the yard, we loved having bonfires and eating breakfast on the screened porch. The small AC unit worked really well! And the shower has very strong water pressure. We were amazed how accessible the location is to both folly beach and downtown Charleston. Other than the occasional airplane and background traffic sounds, we felt tucked away in our own little paradise!
This little cottage is spectacular. The surroundings are beautiful. Perfect location to see all the beautiful things in Charleston. Close to restaurants. The cottage was equipped with everything you could think of, and was immaculate. The bed was very comfortable. The host was very friendly, and available to answer questions. We will absolutely be staying here again.
This trip was supposed to just be my husband, the dog, and me. But, ended up bringing the whole family (2 kids ages 11 & 16). Our hosts were flexible with the kid addition and accommodated our large breed dog. The cottage was small. However, it had everything we needed. We all slept comfortably. The AC worked great! The cottage is adorably decorated and has one of the most amazing landscapes. The location is truly prime, super close to the beach and very close to awesome restaurants, downtown Charleston, and great grocery stores. We had a short weekend trip and thoroughly made use of our time. Would love to come back and visit.
This was the perfect home base for our trip to Charleston. The cottage had everything we needed and we felt right at home. Hope to stay here again on our next trip to the area!

Grand Oaks Cottage provided everything we needed for a weekend in the Charleston area! Great central location, clean space, and a fantastic breakfast spot recommendation from the host.
Absolutely loved our stay. The area is so beautiful and the house we stayed in was just the perfect size for us. Close to everything Charleston had to offer. The owners were extremely friendly. Definitely one of the most comfortable vacations we have ever been on. We really want to come back one day. Thank you so much!
Really nice quiet getaway for Labor Day weekend! Easy drive to and from the beach, very private and relaxing atmosphere. Really only complaint was that it got a little hot in the cottage at night, so you may want to bring an extra fan. Super cute place with everything you need!
Hi! Andy here..Im the owner. I'm originally from Baltimore, Maryland and have made Charleston my home for the last 37 years. My future wife, Dawn, and I enjoy spending time together cheering sports, travel, food, friends and maintaining the grounds of Grand Oaks Cottage...oh and a good cold cocktail.
Great question! I'ts in the middle of owhere but close to everyting. My vision for Grand Oaks Cottage is for it to not be a place for guests to just sleep but be the destination in itself.
