If you are a light sleeper, you will likely not be able to sleep because there’s a swooshing noise that comes from their fridge in the room. I booked for 2 nights but I didn’t get any sleep with that loud noise so I asked for a refund for my second night. They charge a no refundable fee that’s deducted from the refund. Personally think this place is definitely not worth what they charge for. The room I stayed in was tiny tiny. My second night I stayed at a 4 star hotel that was half the price they charge.

We booked this on the same day we arrived in town. Check in was easy and the location perfect! We walked to the beach and to restaurants. I told my husband we will be back next year and then we will bring the extended family.

The property was unique and charming! it was very clean and close to everything. I walked everywhere and they even provided a bike that I was able to ride. But my absolute favorite thing there was Joyce, she made my stay so enjoyable. I want to go back already so I can have a good conversation with her. I have already recommended this place to about 6 people. I can not wait to go back.!! this time I may get a cabin with the family! ( they are on the river, with a pier)

I cannot express how happy I was to find this beautiful place! We stayed in the Drunken Sailor cottage and it felt like home. Owner thinks of lots of little details to make you feel welcome. Perfect location, very kind yet professional staff, welcomed us immediately. Gave great directions for a super easy checkin. I didn’t want to leave. I can’t wait to make this my “home” next time I visit Folly Beach! Thank you all!

Our room was right off the dining room so there wasn’t much privacy. But the place was very clean and cute. I’d definitely stay here again, just in a different room.

The bed which was listed as acceptable for two adults really was not. It was a double bed with a poor mattress, every time my husband moved my body moved and we kept bumping each other in our sleep. Check out was at 11, but housekeeping came in at 10am unannounced when we were not even dressed yet.
