I just looked at reviews and one girl showed bedbugs and she was all bitten up! You can't get rid of those easily. I can't believe no one addressed this from the hotel! read more

BED BUGS in treehouse room (5/31/25).. cool property with great access to beach & stores, but husband & I woke up in the middle of the night covered in swollen itchy bites. Looked around the beg & found bed bugs. Obviously shocking so we left by 5am to the laundromat to treat everything (spent $40 & ruined $200 of shoes and a dress). As expected, the manager denied an issue and said they didn't see anything or even that it could be a tick or something I picked up during the day? She definitely downplayed the situation and tried to shift blame. That said, she did say they'd send out an exterminator so hopefully the owner takes it seriously and treats the rooms. Owner called me a scammer & liar, as if I benefited at all from the situation.. A nightmare situation so wanted to make others aware so they can check the beds before unpacking/sleeping or pick another well-located property. read more

What a kick of an experience. Fun accommodations, in the best location to really experience Folly. Largest continental breakfast selection I've ever seen. We will definitely be back! read more

This place makes you feel like you're home, but you're away. Super friendly staff and Wrigley the dog is the best host. What a great place to stay. Breakfast is awesome. They provide beach towels, chairs and snacks. Very welcoming and extremely comfortable. I will definitely be back. Walking distance to everything. read more

For a 2 star hotel, our stay was a 10/10! We felt right at home with cozy vibes (so many cute nooks), lots of options for breakfast, and friendly staff! My husband and I were here for our delayed honeymoon and we absolutely loved our King Tower room - literally felt like a tree house! Our bathroom was huge - 3 shower heads and a 2 person bath tub! The location also was perfect as we walked everywhere! We can't wait to come back :) read more

My wife and I stayed in the "Brass Lady" room for a week from 5/23-29. Right from the beginning, their communication was great. The room is fairly small but cozy. But, it has a good size bathroom and shower and a private deck. It shares a common area with a few other rooms with a very good continental breakfast every morning. The house the room is in is 100+ years old with a ton of character. We loved it. The staff is amazing. We met Ann and Joyce who were extremely personable and professional. They love their job and people. We highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. read more

We had the most wonderful stay at the Beachside! We were booked into the Little Annie Suite for two nights over the Holidays and enjoyed every minute of our time on Folly Beach. The staff at this Inn is warm, friendly, and helpful. The room was cozy, comfortable, and clean.The private entrance was a special plus and we enjoyed the shared deck areas. No matter where it was located, this Inn would be a plum, but it just so happens to be located 1 block from the ocean, one block from Center Street and the Pier, and one block from Bert's Market. It's simply the most perfect location on Folly, if you ask me! Now that I've stayed here, I can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else when in the area. read more

After a last minute decision to spend the night in Folly Beach we called and were graciously welcomed to this amazing inn. Our family of four stayed in "the seacret cottage" and enjoyed it immensely. This was our very first visit to Folly Beach and we can not wait to return. When we do, this is the only place we want to stay. During the initial tour my wife asked if we could move in. read more

By far one of the best boutique inns! I booked the King Tower for my family because it also has a bunk room for the kids. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days and we have ZERO complaints! The entire property is clean, the rooms and bathrooms were spotless!! The house sits off the street nested in trees so you don't hear ground traffic. Walking distance to main road, restaurants, shopping, pier and beach. Bikes and beach towels included. The fridge was stocked with water, juice, fresh fruit and had room to spare of personal items. We will be coming back as much as we can! read more

This place is laid back, with a hard to beat location, friendly service and one caveat...though reading the other reviews, where no one else has mentioned it, makes me wonder how many people would be bothered by this. I'll lead with it. We have stayed in three different rooms in this B & B, and none of them had doors on the bathrooms. Curtains, yes, doors no. Two of the rooms in particular were modestly sized, so needless to say it is very easy to tell what's going on in the bathroom! This worked out okay for my husband and I. Our most recent trip was #2 (har har har) (that was truly unintentional!) and I'm confident that there will be a #3 at some point in the future. We love Folly Beach and lodging options are pretty limited. But the door thing seems like such an odd decision, especially as the last room we stayed in was $175 and really nice, aside from the lack of door. Anyway, again, I haven't seen mention of this and it does not come up on the Beachside's website. So maybe it doesn't bother anyone else? Just seems strange to not spend the minimal amount to put a door up (there's definitely space to install said door). Aside from the lack of doors, the space is inviting and relaxed, and the rooms are clean and very well kept (aside from a couple of small stains on the curtains). The Inn is about a block away from the main strip of Folly Beach, and an easy walk to the beach itself. We'll stay here again. read more

We wanted so badly to love this place and give 5 stars, hopefully our experience was unique because the place is adorable and exactly the funky and non-corporate place I love and wish was more common. If you are sensitive to noise, I don't recommend the Little Annie room in the main building. There are two AC air compressors right outside the window that created a moderately loud white noise. I sleep great with that, but my partner can't tolerate it. We had booked three nights, but after the first night, we asked to be moved to a new room. The staff explained the place was booked solid, so they couldn't accommodate us. We asked if we could check out early, and the first response was a hard 'no' and that we needed to stay all three nights! Now, if they are at peak busyness, how can they not allow us to check out early?? We eventually reached a compromise after asking to speak with the owner, and we were allowed to check out after two nights. Still, the staff were pretty inconsiderate about the situation and kept saying 'nobody has ever had that issue.' That said, the place is the most convenient to the beach and town, and we had an awesome time in Folly. I would come back if we could stay in another room, knowing it's a 'buyer beware' attitude rather than 'the customer is always right'. PS the bathroom has no door, only a curtain, so you better be pretty comfortable with your travel companion. read more

Stayed again at the BBI and couldn't be happier. This time I stayed in the Kings Tower and it was amazing. It has a ton of space with an extra bedroom if you have kids (two sets of bunk beds), a seating area, and the biggest bathroom I've seen. The bathroom has three shower heads, two sinks, a jacuzzi tub, outdoor shower and a sauna! It truly is fantastic. On nice days sit outside on the balcony with some wine and watch the sunset! read more

This place is amazing I stayed in the 70's room so cute and super comfortable. So close to everything a few minutes walk to the beach and restaurants. I will definitely be back. read more

Amazing place to stay!!! The location is great, onsite parking. The rooms are themed and fun. The place that we stayed had a common area with a full kitchen and dining table. Bikes, beach towels, beach chairs are available for free use. The owner is awesome, very friendly and accommodating!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a kid free getaway!!! read more

I would recommend this spot over any downtown Charleston hotel. It's right in the heart of Folly Beach just a few minutes walk from the town and the beach. A twenty minute drive into downtown. this place has a great community vibe while still giving you plenty of privacy. The innkeepers are amazing, super sweet and helpful. Can't recommend this place enough. Great for solo travelers, families and couples. read more

This place is awesome! We stayed in the Seacret Cottage, and we absolutely loved it. The hosts are wonderful, and there is such a laid-back vibe to the whole place. It's right in the middle of all the action on Folly, so you can walk everywhere. Plus, they have bikes you can take out anytime. We will definitely be back. read more

We loved our experience at the Inn! Great location and fun themed room, even if a bit on the small side (70s room) for the cost. The outdoor and common area made it feel roomier and more accommodating. Enjoyed the company of other occupants. Relaxed and laid back vibe with excellent customer service! Laura was a most excellent host. The continental breakfast was an unexpected bonus along with reserved parking in a super convenient area near the pier. Would just like to make a suggestion in case the owner reads: Theme t shirts for sale to match the various rooms would be awesome! I would've totally bought a 70s Room shirt read more

Booked a last minute trip this past weekend and was able to stay here for one night of our trip in the Prince Room. Overall, this place was truly amazing and I would recommend anyone visiting Folly beach stay here. After arriving to the airport earlier than expected, I called and spoke to the owner who was kind enough to have our room cleaned hours in advance of check-in. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by Warren and Steph who were two of the friendliest people I've ever met. Warren showed us to our room and gave us a tour of the property, which by the way is impeccably kept. The room we stayed in was spacious and perfect for the two of us. There's an outdoor garden area with a bar area, fire pit, and grill, in addition to the private backyard area right off our room. Warren and Steph gave us the low down on the area and tips for while we were there, they even gave us sunscreen and beach towels to use during our stay. We were hoping to stay the next night, but they were completely booked (not surprised considering what an amazing place this is). After learning that we didn't have a room for the next night, they offered to help us find somewhere, even calling personal contacts to see if they had or knew of rooms available. I was incredibly touched by this and so grateful for the level of care and hospitality. We ended up staying in a near by hotel, which wouldn't keep our stuff prior to check in. Steph was SO kind to let us keep our luggage there until we were able to check in to our hotel for no extra free out of pure kindness. On top of that, the fridge is completely stocked with water, beverages, and every morning, there's a fresh platter of pastries and bagels for the guests. I also loved the laid back vibe and eclectic decor throughout the property including a pond and Buddha statues. Staying at the Beachside Boutique Inn truly made our stay in Folly Beach one to remember. I cannot wait to return and stay here again. HIGHLY recommended!! They get an A+++ for hospitality, friendliness, cleanliness, and convenience. Just simply amazing. read more

My daughter and I stayed in the Costa Rican Cottage when visiting for a friend's wedding in May. The accommodations were wonderfully funky. Our favorite place was our big front porch with a huge comfy sofa, armchair and dining table & chairs. The breakfast was ample and nicely presented. There was a great selection of juices and coffee/teas - all was self serve and casual. Everything about the B&B was welcoming and comfortable. Ginger, the Innkeeper, is especially helpful. I ended up shortening my stay because of circumstances with friends, and Ginger was great about refunding my last night. I highly reccommend this B&B if you want an authentic "Folly Experience" read more

I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. PERFECT location right in the heart of town and a few steps from beach, friendly and helpful staff, everything you could need including bikes, fire pit, sun screen, movies, games, etc. The free breakfast is very simple, but the little coffee station is a welcome treat in the morning. We enjoyed our stay more than we knew we would! read more

Wow, this place was cool, we got a great deal because we came off season and because the price was good I really did not expect much but the place was so cool and had so much funky style, they had bikes ready for us to ride too and we had so much fun riding around Folly, such a cool little beach town, Ginger was a great host too and killer breakfast. I will absolutely be back. read more

****THE ABSOLUTE WORST RUN RENTAL AGENCY**** Booked a room for one night after speaking with manager Sherri on phone for availability and then comfortably booked online. Showed up with my wife and daughter only to find someone else staying in my room. I had called prior and they said the room was clean and ready to go.(First of many lies). 20 minutes later self described maintenance guy shows up, does not address us standing there looking ridiculous with our luggage, makes some calls, and then finally tells us there has been a mistake. No apologies whatsoever. Says he will find us another place and gives me an address. He then stops me as we are pulling out and says he has to take us to a different locale. Place was way off the beach, not even close to our original rental and now manager shows up, Blake, and says not much he can do, except take off 5-10%!! Place had a common area and locked rooms with no guarantees others wouldn't be coming and going all night. Ridiculous! Asked to speak to someone above him and he said there is nobody. Long story longer, police had to be called due to the way we were treated and lack of acceptable solutions. police told us in front of them they wouldn't stay there due to sketchy neighborhood nonetheless my teenage daughter. End of story police helped us find a La Quinta 25 minutes away and forced Blake to finally refund our money. Horrible people and absolutely no clue how to function in the hospitality industry. read more

Just had a fantastic stay at Beachside Boutique Inn for a birthday and weekend getaway. Clean, warm, safe, eclectic. Great parking, never got back in my car once we checked in. Short walk to everything on Folly beach. It's off season and just happened to have a snow storm. It was perfect. The inn keeper Sherri was so accommodating. I highly recommend this place and will be back!!! John Gross Charleston/John's Island,SC read more

One word...Fabulous! My wife and I came to for the the High Water Festival and stayed in the Sunburst Cottage. This was by far the best vacation spot ever! Walking distance to everything, the perfect spot. The cottage was clean and inviting, bathrooms were spotless, kitchenette was fully stocked, the bed was so comfortable and the London Fog sheets were the most amazing sheets I've ever slept on. Waking up and seeing the most beautiful stain glass Sun was breathtaking! It is a must see. The staff and owners were friendly, accommodating and made sure there were no details left unturned. I highly recommend Beachside Boutique. I would give them a million stars if I could! can't wait to return and wouldn't dream of staying any where else. read more

This was the most beautifully kept B&B I have ever had the pleasure to stay in! The Kings Tower, was incredible, and the bathroom does not disappoint! Complete with sauna, giant jet tub, open air shower as well as an outdoor shower space (which was a lot of fun). Would absolutely return as soon as I get back to Folly!! read more

Wow, what a great experience for a business trip. I was in the area and a local resident suggested I stay here instead of in Charleston and I am grateful he did. Even though I was there on business I felt like I was cheating by being on vacation in this gem. The room and grounds were very clean, staff very happy to help and an overall fantastic experience. Seconds from the beach and they even supply the beach bikes to get there. Why stay anywhere else! I'll be back! read more

Our stay was really nice. Great hosts, nice rooms, we got the Kings tower, and there is a big king bed room and a separate room with bunk beds. Really amazing. And very convenient walking to the beach! read more
