About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Tiny Shack

With a little engineering and shabby-sheik ingenuity we turned our old office and storage space into Folly Beach’s cutest efficiency unit with all brand new construction, finishes, and décor. Think small and pretty. If you are an NFL lineman and your significant other is a WNBA star this is not the place for you. It is tiny, yes, but has everything you need for the perfect getaway. You have a full size bed to cuddle close and nap after a great beach day. Watch TV on the flat screen, or prep some snacks in the kitchenette. Your bistro table is more like a corner spot at a cozy Manhattan mini bar, and you can shower in luxury in the brand new tile bath with a modern sleek glass shower that feels more like The Ritz Carlton in Fiji than TheRathershacks on Folly. The main room measures 10ft x12ft- not including the 3ft x 5ft kitchenette, 5ft x 6ft bath, and 2ft x 4ft closet. Outside the front door you have your own dedicated covered patio so you can max relax, all under the watchful eyes of a mermaid and her dolphin friends. You have a small semi-private fenced back yard where there is a grill to channel your inner Bobby Flay or Rachel Ray, and an outdoor shower to wash off the sand and sea of the day. All of this is just a 45 second walk to the beach, and 5 minutes to all the bars and restaurants Folly Beach has to offer. Small is the new big at our latest shack. You will love it!!

The cutest little spot

I stayed here for a week and this was a great little spot. Brand new renovation, very clean, and beautiful private outdoor space. It was the perfect spot for a solo traveler. It is a very easy walk to the beach and only a couple blocks from the Center St hub.

It is small but we loved it! Accurate description. Shower was wonderful, 10/10 water pressure (my pet peeve). Nice inside and out. The outdoor shower a very nice amenity. Very easy for beach access. Grocery items very close at Bert’s. Recommend.

Great stay at the Tiny Shack!

My wife and I had a fantastic trip to Folly Beach staying at the Tiny Shack to kick off our summer and celebrate our wedding anniversary. Tiny Shack was a brief walk to the beach, when carrying chairs and a cooler it felt seamless with the short distance. The room was extremely clean and up to date with a modern feel. The downtown area was also a quick walk to enjoy the local bars and restaurants. The hosts’ recommendations list is spot on, and I encourage any future quests to review it. Katt was very quick to respond to our communications and make it an easy process to check-in. It was a great experience, and we plan to stay here again in the future.

April at the Tiny Shack

We stayed in the Tiny Shack for a week in April and could not have loved it more. The Shack is located a short walk to anything in Folly Beach and only a 2 min. walk to the ocean. Although the Shack is small, it is not cramped since you can go out to the adjacent covered porch and enjoy the breeze and beautiful view. Everything is new and very clean as well as nicely decorated. We, very much ,would stay here again.

Perfect couple getaway!

This efficiency apt was exactly as described. It is small but is the perfect size for a couple. The bed was very comfortable with great pillows. Not like those flat pillows you find in most places. The bed was very slightly raised so that there was room to store our bags underneath. The towels were thick and so soft. The water pressure in the shower was really good too. Kitchenette area was just the right size with a larger dorm size refrigerator, microwave, keurig coffee maker, toaster and sink. Had we chosen to just hang out in Folley Beach, we could have parked our car and walked to everything we needed. General market, lots of restaurants and some beach stores close by. The beach itself is just a minute’s walk away. Great little beach town. The host was very easy to communicate with and responded immediately to my questions. I would highly recommend.

Beach Babymoon

Katt and her Tiny Shack were perfect for our spring break vacation! We are expecting our first child this summer so my wife and I wanted to go somewhere warm and relaxing for 5 days. As soon as we booked Katt was communicative and helpful. She answered all of our questions and accommodated all of our requests. Katt was great to deal with. The property was just as pictured and described. Beach access is a block away and the provided beach chairs were such a convenience. It’s a short walk to a 24/7 small grocery store and within 3-6 blocks there are many great spots for a meal and/or drink. Katt’s recommendations really took us to some great locations we may have missed otherwise. This is a perfect location if you want a beach-centric vacation. We had no car so we only ventured off the beach once. It’s about a 15 minute drive to any “other” places outside of the beach town. We had some good food in James Island and took an awesome boat tour where we saw probably a dozen dolphins. All of this was within a 15 minute drive. The Tiny Shack is indeed tiny but the bed was comfy and the A/C worked great! The owner, property, and experience were all great! Would recommend and would use again!
