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.

The house is a very short walk to a nice portion of the beach. The house is charming and decorated as a beach house. We enjoyed the entire stay and plan to choose that house again next year when we return to Folly Beach.

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.

Loved this quaint cottage that is pet friendly. The location is excellent. Restaurants, shops, and the beach access is within a short walk. The yard is fully fenced and the outdoor deck area is private and relaxing. We will stay here 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.

Comfy cottage

We enjoyed our stay at this clean, cozy and well-equipped cottage. It’s a great location—a short walk to the beach and also to restaurants and stores. Our dog liked the fenced-in yard and the dog park that was just a few blocks away.

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.
