This bungalow is attractively located for families and couples who want to come and go from the beach and downtown without driving, parking or walking very far. The beach access, directly across the street, is just 40 feet from the front steps. Eateries and shopping area are just 3 blocks away. We are located at the corner of West Ashley Ave. and 4th Ave. - you can't miss our bright yellow bungalow. 324 W. Ashley Ave., Folly Beach, SC

One of Folly's original cottages, the Appreciate Shack has its original heartpine floors, board and batten walls and furnishings of its era. You can see the ocean from nearly every room in the home - or listen to the ocean and feel the breezes on the front screened porch and sizable deck. There's even a roof top deck over the porch if you want a expansive view of the island.

This rental offers guests a combination of comfort and nostalgia that's getting harder to come by...we have aimed to preserve the same flavor we adored as youngsters coming to the beach, before the era of condos and 'McMansions.' This property has 2 bedrooms and a huge living area, both areas equipped with 42' flat screen TVs. Our bungalow has roughly 650 square feet.

The living area and kitchen are open, divided by a bar/table/counter which is an old hatch door from a WWII Liberty Ship - refinished of course.

Folly Beach is a six mile long barrier island, and the closest beach to historic Charleston, South Carolina, 15 mins. on the Connector.

We welcome kids of all ages and dogs. Our property is located on a corner lot. The backyard has a canopy of live oaks and is completely fenced. This home is not nearly as elevated as the newer ones; so there's only 10 steps from the back door to the yard. All these features make pet care and kid care a lot easier. And don't worry about parking - we have 4 off street spaces at the back of the lot; and another in the front.

How to get the best Charleston vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Charleston. To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Charleston area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides have money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Charming Pet Friendly Oceanview Bungalow - Prime Location - Steps to beach has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a particular Charleston area destination you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many issues.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
