Grand Oaks Cottage: Ideal Location!

This charming cottage is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 minutes from Folly Beach and 8 minutes from downtown historical Charleston.
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.

Please contact host for key code.

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.

Serene getaway

Lovely cottage surrounded by oaks and foliage. Quiet and peaceful but also conveniently located near Folly Road. About 15 minutes from Folly Beach and Charleston and 30 from the airport. The owners live next door and we’re friendly and welcoming. They have local favorites and suggestions if you are looking for something off the beaten path.

Very cute and cozy cottage!

We loved the cottage! It was in a quiet area and the road noise was very faint offering a peaceful experience which is nice when you have a dog with anxiety like mine. There were no distractions around so he was a very happy pup! The kitchen and restroom was well equipped and the laundry room is just a short walk next door! The porch was also a big plus! Thank you to our hosts for a great stay!

A pet-friendly hidden gem!

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!

Location is perfect. Accommodations are accurately listed.

Loved how close it is to Folly Beach without being right in the busyness. Lots of privacy. Only 2 pinch points were the comfiness of the chairs on the back porch. We spent a lot of time there with our toddler sleeping in the house and the chairs aren't great for long sits. And then the driveway off of the main road is tricky and we smacked the bottom of our minivan a few times. But truly a great place to stay and the hosts are awesome and friendly.

Perfect Get-Away!

This property far exceeded expectations. The location is 10 mins to downtown, 10 mins to the beach. My fiancé and pups had a quick weekend trip. Location is safe & quiet. The hosts are fantastic and easy to communicate with. Hosts stocked unit with every consideration. Surrounded by mature live oaks sets this unit in a beautiful scenery would absolutely make this our go to vacation home! Very peaceful!

Great place for a work trip

First, I absolutely recommend this property for folks visiting the area, especially if you have a dog! I was in town visiting a friend and working for a couple days, and the cottage suited my needs perfectly. It was cozy, clean, had a LARGE yard with fun amenities, and had a convenient location for my activities. I also had a chance to meet the hosts who were very welcoming and accommodating. Location wise, the cottage is hidden off a main road (Folly Beach Road), so it is super convenient in terms of getting around John's Island and Folly Island. The large yard and outdoor amenities definitely add the the nice vibe of the cottage and made it a nice place to hang outside.
