The staff are so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Room was very nice. All the rooms have different names and are all decorated differently. Located a couple of blocks from the beach in the heart of Folly Beach. Can’t wait till our next visit!

Awesome spot just a few blocks from the beach and near a ton of great restaurants, bars, etc. Loved the Betty White room - it was bright, clean, and spacious. Enjoyed access to common kitchen and appreciated the daily continental breakfast. Staff was always pleasant and friendly as well. Noise travels quite a bit, but everyone was really nice about observing quiet hours. Plenty of street parking available. A small desk or table would have been nice in the actual room, but definitely not the end of the world. Glad there was a fridge and microwave though. I would definitely recommend Riverside!

This is a very sweet place, don’t expect your bed made every day (your mother doesn’t work here!) but there is little that you will be left wanting. You have a microwave a cute little refrigerator, comfy bed and towels. Breakfast is plenty of choices and greasy every morning. They have beach towels and sand toys for the kids. Sweet ladies that run the place. We will definitely be visiting again!

Wonderful ladies!!!!

I came on this trip just to kind of get away and I decided to book this little cottage. I always go to Folly Beach. I love the people. I love the atmosphere. It’s totally different than Columbia South Carolina rooms were super clean. The attendance were extremely nice. I was only there one night, but they were very knowledgeable about the area and were genuinely good hearted people that want to make sure I had everything I needed for my stay. I will be back!

Worth a try, has quirks

I thought the checkin process was good. We got in late, i had gotten a text message with instructions on my room passcose, office passcode, parking instructions anda few other helpfull things a good 6 hours before checkin, which was helpfull. The room looked nice, spacious with a huge shower. There was a privacy tint on the window in the shower which was taped on and falling off. Ki da rough looking, especially since it was privacy for a window in the shower. There were a few cobwebs on a lamp next to the bed. Not a big deal to me but not sure how it was missed by cleaners. The bed was neat. It was made of wood in a classic kinda way, not dimensional lumber. But the bed was pretty squeaky. The shower was nice and big. Probably the best part of the room honestly. All in all it was a nice room. Very close to shops, restaurants, the beach. Would definetly rent again.

A bit pricey

The cottage is walking distance to many restaurants, shops and beach. Compared to other places I’ve stayed this one is a bit pricey for what you receive.
