Grand Oaks Cottage: Ideal Location!

This charming cottage is a haven tucked off of Folly Road. Only 5 minutes from Folly Beach and 8 minutes from downtown historical Charleston.
The porch over looks a large back yard that is framed in by four majestic Grand Oaks that are draped with Spanish Moss, hence how the cottage was named. While relaxing it is possible to see occasional wildlife!

There is a large driveway for big toys!
Grocery store, restaurant/bar and brewery right across Folly Rd.

OP-04780
Guest access:
The charm of the place is that it's tucked off the road! Rafael Lane can be tricky to find. Get in the median right across from Bohemian Bull restaurant. The dirt road is on the left. After turning onto the Lane, take a right at the first drive and come straight back down a gravel drive. There will be a larger house on right with the cottage after.

Please contact host for key code.

A pet-friendly hidden gem!

We loved our stay at Grand Oaks Cottage. The owner, Andy, was so kind and accommodating. Our dogs enjoyed the yard, we loved having bonfires and eating breakfast on the screened porch. The small AC unit worked really well! And the shower has very strong water pressure. We were amazed how accessible the location is to both folly beach and downtown Charleston. Other than the occasional airplane and background traffic sounds, we felt tucked away in our own little paradise!

Great Oaks…Great Time

This little cottage is spectacular. The surroundings are beautiful. Perfect location to see all the beautiful things in Charleston. Close to restaurants. The cottage was equipped with everything you could think of, and was immaculate. The bed was very comfortable. The host was very friendly, and available to answer questions. We will absolutely be staying here again.

Home Away From Home

Absolutely loved our stay. The area is so beautiful and the house we stayed in was just the perfect size for us. Close to everything Charleston had to offer. The owners were extremely friendly. Definitely one of the most comfortable vacations we have ever been on. We really want to come back one day. Thank you so much!

Fun Labor Day Getaway

Really nice quiet getaway for Labor Day weekend! Easy drive to and from the beach, very private and relaxing atmosphere. Really only complaint was that it got a little hot in the cottage at night, so you may want to bring an extra fan. Super cute place with everything you need!

Perfect Get-Away!

This property far exceeded expectations. The location is 10 mins to downtown, 10 mins to the beach. My fiancé and pups had a quick weekend trip. Location is safe & quiet. The hosts are fantastic and easy to communicate with. Hosts stocked unit with every consideration. Surrounded by mature live oaks sets this unit in a beautiful scenery would absolutely make this our go to vacation home! Very peaceful!

Calm cottage in a central location

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The cottage had everything we needed, plus a large outdoor area to enjoy the nice weather under the beautiful oak trees. It was in a perfect location, close to Folly Beach and nearby family on James Island. We’d definitely visit again!

Great property, awesome host!

My husband and I stayed at Grand Oaks cottage for our elopement and couldn’t have had a better time! Andy was an amazing host who gave great recommendations for local “hidden” treasures and made us feel so welcome! Andy truly cares for the property and his guests and we couldn’t recommend Grand Oaks Cottage enough!
