Upstairs so Sunny and Bright 2 Blocks to the Beach

We named it the RATHERSHACK because you'd rather be here than anyplace else in the world. We are 'second row' from the beach - which means a 45 second walk for you slow pokes, or 30 seconds for the average beach bum. The cottage' we are advertising and scheduling here is the 2 BR 1 bath, the other listing is #3478178. Lots of charm and beach feel decor at no extra charge as this unit has all new beach-style furnishings, flooring, paint, new roof, and new air conditioning. This unit has an open floor plan for casual gatherings after your day at the beach. This unit has fully stocked kitchen utensils etc with microwave and dishwasher. The 2 BR features a large master with queen bed, shabby chic charm. The second bed has a full bed with new pillow top thick mattresses, and plenty of changing room. Super clean no allergens pet dander etc as we do not allow pets. This Unit has cable TV and, WIFI . Off Street parking for 1 vehicles included. . Gas grill on site available for you grill masters out there. Riding bikes is one of our favorite things to do around around here, and look at all the sugar shacks, moderate homes, and homemade fishing piers plopped right next to the occasional McMansion. Architectural variety on every block. Folly Beach makes no judgment on who you are or where you come from...just bring your flip flops and come as you are.

This property does not allow children and is limited to 3 guest Maximum.

The house was comfortable and the location to the beach was great! Very easy walk to the beach access. We booked this space because of the yard and outdoor space from the photos but when we arrived the yard and space from the photos were assigned to another space. We would have booked another VRBO house that had a yard had this been indicated on the photos or descriptions. The hosts were very nice and welcoming!

I stayed at this property over Thanksgiving with my husband and young adult daughter. We had an easy contactless check-in due to Covid that we appreciated. The home was just as advertised and was so well stocked and super cute. The owner left a starter kit of coffee, detergent, etc. so we didn't need to run off to the store before the beach. Check out was super easy as well. We would definitely stay again as it is an easy walk to restaurants and shopping and 2 blocks to beach. Perfect stay - thank you!

What an incredible experience we had during our stay. The property is in excellent condition, the owners are amazing and the walk to the beach is short and easy (even when carrying beach stuff). You seriously do not need a car with easy walking distance to any restaurants and shopping you may need while you are there. Folly Beach provides quick access to Charleston and taxi/ride sharing service is available to and from downtown if you don't have a car or want to enjoy some adult beverages and need a ride. My friend and I stayed for a girls week away but I would recommend this property for couples and families as well. We will definitely be repeat guests!

We cannot say enough about the Roofshack at Folly Beach...we have stayed at many VRBOs all over the country. This is the BEST one yet!!! The beach house is decorated with the perfect combination of comfort and simple beauty. The beds are super comfortable ...a must for us. It is one of the cleanest places we have stayed in. The kitchen is fully stocked, the outside grill a big plus and the bathroom with the shower and claw foot tub a wonderful treat. The location is within a short walk to the beach, and within walking distance to the downtown restaurants and shops. We ended staying an extra day because we enjoyed ourselves so much! Many thanks to Katherine and Sam for a much needed r and r! They are perfect hosts!

What a fantastic find! Our stay was perfect, and the place was very clean, well equipped, and just a block from the beach! We had absolutely everything we needed to enjoy our stay. My husband and I travel frequently and we really appreciated all of the extra amenities, especially the hooks in the bathroom and the extra towels. We will definitely be back!

Spent a week in the hippie shack, close to beach, Paddle. Boarding and Chico Fao, which sums up 95% of our week. The host Katherine is great...5 stars all around

It was very clean, the location was amazing, the check in and check out process was seamless, and the property is decorated very nicely. You can tell a lot of thought and effort goes into the upkeep of this place. If we return to Folly Beach we will definitely stay here again!

My sisters and I stayed in Hippie Shack for the week to celebrate my 70 th birthday. It was perfect. Just 2 short blocks to the beach! The shack as it is called is adorable. So nicely decorated, the beds were comfortable, everything we needed was there. It’s just a short walk to Resturants and Shopping. I recommend Rita’s and The Crab Shack. And Bert’s Store is a fun stop. Katt was very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks Katt for allowing us to stay in your perfect little shack. I hope to be able to come back next year and the year after that and … Pattie C

Upon arrival to this little gem was all the items I was stressing about having to got buy were there! The flat was open, airy, and comfortable. Great location. A chance to meet such nice “neighbors “ and a week to just relax! Kat is a super host.

Clean and well equipped. Exactly as described on the website. Responsive owner (note to self - it is always better when you deal with a local owner who is invested in their property and the community). Lots of hooks! Full length mirror! Very comfortable.

We were blown away with this vacation home!! Every needed necessity and amenity; (and even a few we didn't even think of) was provided. The house was cozy, comfortable and decorated beautifully. Also want to mention how clean and fresh everything was. All of our expectations were exceeded.

The place was the perfect size for two couples. Awesome location with public access to the beach being two streets away and the closest restaurant and 24 hour grocery store only a block and a half away! I would definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway!
