This charming, fully renovated, 2BR 1940's cottage is in a prime location one block to beach. Quintessential Folly layout - a huge front porch, capturing the ocean breeze, living room flanked with two bedrooms, both of which have queen beds and each with en-suite full bath. A light filled kitchen with new appliances and all amenities to whip up a meal on vacation. Only a short walk or bike ride to Center Street for great restaurants and shops. Charleston is less than a 15 minute drive.
The space
The Sol Shak is your private Folly Beach retreat, just one block to the beach (with an access directly across from the house) and few blocks to the restaurants, bars, Bert's market, and Center Street, just a short walk away. The street is one off the main drag, so it's super quiet, with privacy from the neighbors and traffic. The front screened in porch has plenty of seating, a large dining table and bistro lights for a perfect nighttime vibe.
Our goal was to create a super relaxing space to share with our family and friends. Guests love that we are just one block from the beach (500 ft.), and only four blocks to the bars and restaurants of Center Street.
