About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 1 Bedrooms

• Cottage

This appealing bungalow is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 mins. from Folly Beach and 8 mins. from downtown historical Charleston.
This hideout is not in a neighborhood and the weather right now is ideal for the new firepit with cabana out back!
The porch over looks a huge back yard that is framed in by four majestic Grandiose Oaks that are draped with Spanish Moss, hence how the bungalow was named. While calming it is possible to see occasional wildlife!

There is a sizable driveway for big toys!
Grocery store, restaurant/bar and brewery right across Folly Rd.

Guest access:
The appeal 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 bigger home on right with the bungalow after.

Please contact host for key code.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Charleston area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Charleston area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

• Start by having your family agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Grand Oaks Cottage: Ideal Location! New Fire Pit! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Charleston area rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
