Wee Cottage is a great Cottage
Perfect place to stay for my spouse and I while visiting student at MUSC. Folley Beach is a special area. Wee Cottage is a block from the beach and a short 20 minute drive to downtown Charleston. Host was very welcoming and quick to answer any questions. Easy self-check in but always felt like I could reach Tim if needed. We will absolutely be back.

This property is amazing. The location is great. You can hear the ocean from the living room, but it Is set back from the road and has privacy serenity with a stunning outdoor area. Extremely friendly accommodating host you will not regret booking.

Helene was more of a thread back homebin the Upstate than it was at the coast. We left early to secure our home in Greer. We will have to try another time. Your place, Tim, is adorable. Perfect for us.

Absolutely lovely; we will be back!
Couldn’t ask for more! This Folly rental is unique because it’s tucked under a protective grove of trees, whoch keeps you cool on hot days and sheltered from the wind. We pretty much lived between the shady front deck and the cozy little sunroom, which was especially magical during a thunderstorm. We walked to the beach frquently too, it’s only a block away! I cook a lot on vacation and found that there was pretty much everything you could need including a knife set, colander, and cheese grater. I would bring your own cooking oil and spices. We loved it and can’t wait to come back!!

Magical Folly getaway!!
We loved the cozy little cottage among the trees! The big Live Oak, Palm, and Magnolias provided wonderful shade. The cottage was cute and had everything we needed. And most of all we appreciated the owner allowing us to bring our little dog, Simon. Thank you again, Leslie, David and Simon!

Great Homebase
This is not a fancy place, clean and mostly comfortable, but in need of some small updates and upgrades, like the bed pillows, linens, and the furniture layout. Location is excellent, and the breakfast nook area was awesome. Felt like I was in a treehouse, and it was my favorite place in the mornings. Lot is beautiful, and the patio is amazing.

Dirty cottage
Nastiest place I’ve ever stayed. Place needs to be condemned. Black mold everywhere. Dirty floors, ceiling fans, and black grout. Mice poop in the bathroom. We left early because we couldn’t sleep there due to the filth. False advertising!!

Great Stay!
Perfect for our mother daughter getaway! So close to the beach it is practically in your backyard. The cottage is small, adorable and charming. The deck and outdoor shower were super nice. We recommend renting a golf cart for easy trips to center street. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We would stay here again!

Second visit to the Wee Nest. Charming cottage on magnolia and oak double lot. Walkable to the shops and restaurants but quiet and peaceful. One block from the beach-lovely outdoor deck, sunroom reading nook and caring responsive owner. We will return !

Beach Bungalow - great location
This tiny house is very private and located a five minute walk to the beach and 15 min walk to shops and restaurants. The space itself is fine for a couple but the house needs much work. It has so much potential to be a great little place but currently is quite run down. As another guest mentioned it needs maintenance and TLC.

Really cute place and secluded but close to beach. My only complaint was we visited in December and the heating unit wasn't working. The owner had left two space heaters but in such a tiny place you had to be careful to not run into them. I also think we should have been told about the heat situation before we arrived.Because we didn't want to run the heaters all night( we had our dog with us) it was pretty cold until it warmed up in the afternoons. If there had been heat, the place would have been just as advertised.

Great Cozy Beach Cottage!
We loved wee rest! It's small, but still bigger than a hotel suite and offers so much more character and comfort than any hotel. The deck is incredible and a great outdoor social space.
