    Welcome! Beachside B & B is located on Folly Beach, 10 miles East of Historic Downtown Charleston, SC. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the beach with Historical Charleston fine dining and shopping only minutes away. We want to preserve our history on Folly Beach and pride ourselves on using reclaimed objects to design our Inn. We offer three unique themed rooms in our main house and a private detached bungalow that was rescued from the West side of the Island. Our goal at Beachside B & B is to create a sense of days gone by to our guests. A time that was much simpler, when a cold glass of tea on a hot summer's night and an evening of shagging with your sweetheart was all the rage. Pack a bag, throw in some flip flops, a swim suit and leave your worries behind!

    Best secret in town for a getaway!

    December 26, 2012

    For the last 3 years this has been my choice of where to spend my birthday! We love the Costa Rican cottage, complete with a porch,,artistic touches but not overdone..We enjoy the option of bicycles to explore the area, and yummy breakfast treats- informal but our cup of tea! Walking distance to the ocean or restaurants,and owners assure great accommodations and welcome. The rooms in the main house are small but cozy- good for the price I imagine, we have never stayed there, as we got spoiled being at the cottage, which is more private and has wonderful furnishings, AC, TV and a nice bath rooml Its all quite unique and charming . We recommend it highly.!

    Perfect Getaway

    October 18, 2012

    My boyfriend and I stayed here and it was everything we could have imagined. Ginger was so nice and helpful, and the breakfast she had every morning was phenomenal! You are feet away from the shops and restaurants at Folly Beach, a short 5 minute walk from the public access beach, and a 15-20 minute drive to Charleston that feels much shorter than it is. We would definitely recommend this cute little B&B and would stay here again.

    Wonderful experience and a great value

    May 09, 2012

    The Beachside B&B is a unique treasure that offers an incredible experience at a great price. I stayed here with 2 friends, we are all in our mid 20s, and were incredibly impressed with the unique rooms, wonderful hospitality and service, and the convenient location. We had all been to Folly Beach before so we decided to drive further down the beach to get away from the crowds by the pier but you could easily walk to the beach as well. The house is located just a short a walk to all of the wonderful restaurants and shops. The owner was incredibly welcoming and the food was fantastic. We felt right at home and can't wait to go back!

    Way cool!

    July 11, 2010

    We stayed in the "70s Room", complete with round (and large) bed, 8 track machine and flowered wall paint. The room was small, but comfortable. There's a large "common area" including a full kitchen and small living room, as well as various beach toys and a number of bicycles. The breakfast was great, with not only "continental" fare, but eggs, sausage, and even shrimp and grits!. There were "happy hours" Friday and Saturday nights, with complimentary drinks and chips. The owner was personable, and his one-woman staff tireless. A whole lot of fun and lots of character. We'll never "slum it" at the Holiday Inn again. Don't miss this gem.

    Home away from Home

    July 07, 2010

    I'm a local but my Daughter was visiting from half way across the country so I thought, let's do this right and both of us have a vacation! Setting the reservation was easy and when we arrived, everything was so beachy and comfortable. I can't say enough about the atmosphere besides, Perfect!! Thanks Mike and Christy for a wonderful home away from home stay...

    Perfect little escape

    April 05, 2010

    If you are looking for the real Folly Beach experience & you want to "live like a local", this is the place! It's located behind a busy restaurant, but don't let that distract you from the charm of this place. It's not the Ritz, but it has that sweet beachy laid-back feel equipped with beach cruisers and beach gear for your enjoyment! It was also very quiet and the hostess was great. The rooms are rather small (except the bungalow) but adequate. Overall, it's a great value!

    Best Vacation Ever!

    April 05, 2010

    My husband and I stayed for a weekend for a little weekend getaway and it turned out to be the best vacation ever! The hospitality of the owners (Michael and Christy) and the manager (Ginger) were overwhelming. They were so sincere in caring for all of the guests and making their trip memorable and relaxing. The location is great! It's only about a 3-5 minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute walk to downtown to the restaurants. Our favorite parts of staying here were the free bikes, happy hour, and delicious breakfast! We definitely recommend this place for a relaxing and fun vacation!

    Casual beach vacation as it should be

    April 03, 2010

    My wife and I had the pleasure of celebrating her 50th birthday with Michael, Christy, their family and Ginger. The atmosphere is fantastic, the people extremely friendly and social, the rooms stacked with personality, the service and attitude excellent! One of the most relaxing vacations I have ever taken, including parking the car from start to finish, never moving it until time to leave. The B&B, the town, the ocean and especially all of the people associated with the B&B, make this an excellent vacation destination. My wife's birthday would not have been as happy & eventful if she had chosen another destination or B&B. My only regret is that too many people may see the value in this excellent place and we may lose our ability to escape here at free will. In this case, the people and atmosphere make the place and I eagerly look forward to returning. Thank you Michael, Christy & Ginger for making my wife's birthday enjoyable and a lifetime memory!
