Great Family Beach House and 5% off weekly stays, last minute or mobile booking!

Year round is wonderful at Folly Beach, and Dolphin Cottage makes a beach vacation in this eclectic little seaside town even better. Now through the end of the year, we are offering an additional 5% off for mobile bookings and/ or last minute booking (reservations made less than 14 days out of arrival date). Only one of these promotions is available, on top of a weekly stay.

The cottage is named after a dolphin that was rescued from inside the house after Hurricane Hugo, Dolphin Cottage offers a light, open space to relax with family and friends. Even better, canine family members are welcome too! The maximum number of pets is 2, and there is a non-refundable pet fee of $150.00 for one pet and $200.00 for 2 pets. This goes towards extra cleaning and pest control services. Thank you for understanding!

The kitchen, dining, and living areas come together under a vaulted ceiling, and a wall of windows overlooks a secluded garden where the large deck flows through the tropical greenery. Bamboo floors and bright colors with whimsical accent walls hand-painted by the owner create a cool and easy place to spend a vacation.

The combination of quality linens, a king in the master bedroom, a queen bedroom, and two twins bedroom, ensures a good night’s sleep. The two artistically-decorated full baths are generously-sized. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking and sharing meals together, and the private garden deck offers a shady respite from the sun and an outside grill. There is also a washing and dryer.

Only a few blocks to the beach, playground, tennis courts, pickleball and Center Street, with shops and restaurants. This house is the perfect location for being in the mix of everything that is Folly Beach. And of course, historic Charleston is only 12 miles away, where you can admire the architecture, soak up the city's vibrant history, view art exhibits, and even book a pirate tour with the whole family.

A great beach cottage

Perfect location with easy walk to the beach and town. Well appointed cabin with lots of homey touches. We did not have to purchase or bring any basic supplies which was much appreciated. We had such a great time with our grandkids and 10/10 hope to stay here again.

We loved coming back to Dolphin Cottage for the 3rd time. It was nice to be able to bring our dog. The house was very comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen is functional and has everything you need. The location is great - easy walking distance to the beach, Bert's, and Center Street. Looking forward to returning.

The property is as advertised. Dolphin Cottage is in an excellent location. A quieter section of beach is just steps away, as well as plenty of dining options. The property is clean and comfortable, with ample space for a family stay. We had an amazing weekend! We would definitely stay again.

Perfect get away

This was the first time we traveled for our spring break and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Being from the NE, we are patiently awaiting warmer weather so SC was a great place to find it! Folly Beach is a great beach town with lots of shopping and many fun and interesting places to eat. The city has an eclectic vibe that reminded us of Austin and we loved it. We explored Graffiti walk and Morris Beach/Island. We walked all over the town and explored every inch of Center Ave.We loved the proximity to Charleston and spent a day there which is amazing in itself. Our kids asked if we could come back next year and make it our spring breaks tradition:)

Thanksgiving in Folly

My husband and I and our 3 adult girls stayed at the cottage over Thanksgiving week. The location is ideal. Walk to the beach, walk into town and Charelston is only a 20 minute drive. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed, plenty of towels, hand soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc…..we would definitely stay again.

Beachy stay!!

Such a cute house! Beachy colors and arty items all over. House was very comfortable for my family reunion. The master bedroom bathroom had sinks on 2 different walls, so those counters were very large and separated, so 2 people could easily spread their toiletries out. It also had its own door to the deck, which was very nice to sit on in the morning. The living room, dining room, and kitchen were all in one open space, so it was easy to connect with each other. The living spaces are all on one level. The only stairs to climb are the few that go up to the front door. The beach is a very short walk away, as is the downtown area. No need to drive any where. Which means you don't have to pay to park!
