I stayed at this property over Thanksgiving with my husband and young adult daughter. We had an easy contactless check-in due to Covid that we appreciated. The home was just as advertised and was so well stocked and super cute. The owner left a starter kit of coffee, detergent, etc. so we didn't need to run off to the store before the beach. Check out was super easy as well. We would definitely stay again as it is an easy walk to restaurants and shopping and 2 blocks to beach. Perfect stay - thank you! ##### Marianne R. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2020 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly E. 9 Sept 2015 #### A Must! What an incredible experience we had during our stay. The property is in excellent condition, the owners are amazing and the walk to the beach is short and easy (even when carrying beach stuff). You seriously do not need a car with easy walking distance to any restaurants and shopping you may need while you are there. Folly Beach provides quick access to Charleston and taxi/ride sharing service is available to and from downtown if you don't have a car or want to enjoy some adult beverages and need a ride. My friend and I stayed for a girls week away but I would recommend this property for couples and families as well. We will definitely be repeat guests! ##### Holly E. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### David and Beverley w. 23 Mar 2017 #### Wonderful place for a beach retreat! We cannot say enough about the Roofshack at Folly Beach...we have stayed at many VRBOs all over the country. This is the BEST one yet!!! The beach house is decorated with the perfect combination of comfort and simple beauty. The beds are super comfortable ...a must for us. It is one of the cleanest places we have stayed in. The kitchen is fully stocked, the outside grill a big plus and the bathroom with the shower and claw foot tub a wonderful treat. The location is within a short walk to the beach, and within walking distance to the downtown restaurants and shops. We ended staying an extra day because we enjoyed ourselves so much! Many thanks to Katherine and Sam for a much needed r and r! They are perfect hosts! ##### David and Beverley w. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dustin R. 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We absolutely loved our stay at this home with my wife and in-laws! It had plenty of space for all four of us and was the perfect place to relax during our Folly Beach vacation.The location couldn’t be better. Just a short walk to the beach and only about 8 minutes to Center Street. It was close enough to everything, but still felt peaceful and private.The house was stocked with everything we needed, including plenty of pots and pans for cooking. We also appreciated the abundance of towels (including beach towels) and the four beach chairs they provided.Inside, the home was very clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully arranged. The A/C was a total lifesaver. We were there during extreme heat advisories with temps in the high 90s, and the HVAC had no problem keeping the space cool and comfortable. It always felt amazing to walk back inside after a hot beach day.Our hosts were incredibly kind and communicative throughout the entire process. One note for future guests: there isn’t a washer or dryer, so just be sure to pack accordingly. That said, it didn’t take away from the experience at all.We’ll definitely book with them again, they have several other properties, and this stay set the bar high! ##### Dustin R.

It was perfect. Just 2 short blocks to the beach! The shack as it is called is adorable. So nicely decorated, the beds were comfortable, everything we needed was there. It’s just a short walk to Resturants and Shopping. I recommend Rita’s and The Crab Shack. And Bert’s Store is a fun stop. Katt was very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks Katt for allowing us to stay in your perfect little shack. I hope to be able to come back next year and the year after that and … Pattie C ##### Patricia Lynn C.

The flat was open, airy, and comfortable. Great location. A chance to meet such nice “neighbors “ and a week to just relax! Kat is a super host. ##### Lucyann V.

Clean and well equipped. Exactly as described on the website. Responsive owner (note to self - it is always better when you deal with a local owner who is invested in their property and the community). Lots of hooks! Full length mirror! Very comfortable. ##### Janet B.
