About this property

Great Family Beach House and 5% off weekly stays!

Year round is wonderful at Folly Beach, and Dolphin Cottage makes a beach vacation in this eclectic little seaside town even better.

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 and Center Street, with it's 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.

Great Christmas stay with family

Clean lovely space with large common living room, dining space and kitchen. We had 5 adults and one child, and we had a blast. The art was so much fun, and we appreciated the beach toys and easy access to all things on Folly.

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.

Feels like home

This is our second stay at the Dolphin and we feel right at home. All the amenities are there, and location can't be beat. Spent as much time as I could with the dogs on the deck - the shade is perfect. We can't wait to be back.

Wonderful!

This home was perfect for our family of 4. Super clean, full kitchen sets for cooking and dining, everything in working order. We typically stay one block closer, but the extra little walk was nothing. Highly recommend, and we will rent again if available for our timing!

About the host

Hosted by Darlynne Pecorelli

Host profile image
My husband and I moved to the area, built our careers and then renovated a sailboat and took off sailing. Along the way, we had our first daughter, moved back to Folly Beach and raised our family. We moved away, living in Philadelphia for my husband's job but we moved back to the area a few years ago. We were able to keep our beach house and are now able to rent out to fortunate vacationers, such as yourself, to enjoy Folly Beach.

Why they chose this property

We moved to Folly Beach in the early 90's and immediately fell in love with the area. We bought Dolphin Cottage and took several years to renovate and modernize, while still maintaining the cottage charm of it's original construction in the 1930's. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

We offer high speed internet - 940Mbps, it is recommended for serious online gamers and home office power users. We have a Smart TV and offer Netflix.
Only a few stairs to climb to access this 1 story cottage and a completely fenced in yard for privacy!
