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

Couples love this sweet thing, just a block to the beach

Me, You and the Sea…if that’s your definition of the perfect Folly Beach vacation then the Chill Shack is the one for you.

The smallest of our Shacks, the Chill Shack is also the coziest…and some might argue the most charming and romantic as well. There’s plenty of room for two with the Queen sized bed. 2 heartbeats maximum.

The Chill Shack is located right in the middle of all the Rathershack action. Like the other Shacks, you are just a short walk to the beach but you can also sit outside your Shack and lounge in the sun in your private fenced courtyard.

While the Chill Shack is cozy, you will lack for nothing. The open kitchen and living room allows you to interact with your guests while you make dinner in our fully equipped kitchen. Chances are good though that you may prefer fixing your dinner on the gas grill that’s right outside your front door and dining al fresco under the Folly Beach stars.

Don’t let the small size fool you — the Chill Shack has everything you need for a perfect Folly Beach vacation.

Outstanding Accomodations
The check-in process was excellent along with a video showing exactly how to get into the unit. When my wife and I open the door and stepped in, we could not believe our eyes and how beautiful this place was. Completely remodeled and had everything you needed to enjoy your stay at Folly. The owner was nothing but accommodating and answered any questions we had. Very friendly and informative of the area. I will go back for sure to stay at this rental.

Another Perfect Stay at the Chill Shack!
My husband and I have stayed at the Chill Shack over the past few summers, and I can’t possibly say enough good things about the RatherShacks and Kat & Sam! The recent refresh of the Chill Shack decor is absolutely gorgeous. As always, the space was impeccably clean and spotless when I arrived with plenty of fluffy bath towels and comfy bedding/pillows in the bedroom. The check in process was a breeze and it’s so nice knowing that Kat & Sam are always nearby with a helpful hand should you have any questions or concerns. They are always extremely kind and very easy to get ahold of should you need anything. Between the lovely accommodations, wonderful hosts, and having the beach and the best that Folly has to offer just mere moments away, you can’t go wrong! Thank you for another perfect vacation!

Cozy Beach Cottage
The cottage has been renovated and was even nicer than we expected from the pictures. It's a block from the beach and 3 blocks from the center of town. We walked everywhere. So close to Bert's market where we picked up everything from steaks for the grill to a nice bottle of red wine to have with them. The ice cream is really good to. We loved the beach, not too crowded and the water was so warm! Sam and Katt were a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be back!

Beach Turkey Time
Property was very clean and especially appreciated the dedicated parking space so close to the beach. Slight discrepancy between online listing and actual configuration relative to breakfast bar in kitchen, but not a deal-breaker as a large screen TV had been added. Very spacious and overall very accomodating features; overall, an A !

Chill shack exceeded expectations - Beautiful cottage and newly renovated
The newly renovated Chill Shack was awesome and exceeded our expectations. The quality of the cottage was excellent. The owners Katt and Sam paid attention to every detail. From having everything you need inside to beach chairs and beach towels for outside. You can’t beat the location steps from the beach and a short walk to town. Clearly there was a lot thought that went into making sure our stay was excellent. It was our first trip to Folly Beach and we are glad we stayed here. We would stay again at this location “Chill Shack” or one of the other Rathershacks. Thank you for a nice stay.

We Love Folly Beach ❤️
This little place for two was perfect for a much needed getaway. It was very clean, beautifully decorated, bathroom towels, beach towels and kitchen towels provided. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils dinnerware and cookware. Everything we needed as we prepared most of our own meals due to my husband’s special diet. The grill was just like the one we have at home and we used it every day. The yard and landscaping was beautiful and well kept. You can tell the owners take pride in their rental. The beach access was just a short walk away. We took a short walk every evening to enjoy the local music and a cocktail. The owners were very kind and we definitely will come back again. Make sure you go up to the end of Ashley Avenue to Morris Island where the lighthouse is. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you Katt and Sam!

Great Couple Getaway!
The ChillShack was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend for my husband and I. A very quick walk to the beach, within a few blocks to several shops, restaurants and bars, and the owners were nearby if we needed anything, but we didn't. The shack was well decorated and well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen! Thank you Sam & Katt!

Location to beach, pier, and center street is great. Also a very short walk to Bert's grocery, the coolest store ever. Comfy bed and living area. Katt and Sam were super hosts, with great communication and even gave us 8 Budweisers!

Was nice but 5-star ??
We stay on Folly almost annually and while this was nice I dont feel it was a true 5-star compared to others we’ve been at. This was in need of some updates. The TV just didnt work for us - sometimes audio while not at other times. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but several pillows were available so was tolerable Driveway landscape may not belong to this owner but it was nearly impossible to see from our vehicle to back out. one of us would direct the other when moving our car

Paradise by the Sea
First, I want to just state that the property owners (Sam and Katt) are awesome. They are the nicest and most pleasant people to rent from. They were always there when we had questions and don’t be surprised to run into them on beach! (We loved this part) This was our first time staying in Folly Beach. My boyfriend and I are from the northeast (Philly region) and we were blown away at the scenery and just real island feel folly beach gives. On top of all of this the chill shack made the experience just 10 times better! A block away from the beach, beautiful little yard, and a clean 1 bedroom unit is all we needed to have a vacation for the books. I give this place a 5 star rating simply because it is what every beach goers wants. My favorite part about this trip was the atmosphere of the island and the mood the chill shack put you in. And of course Very nice people, Sam and Katt. Overall great experience. And the many options they offer on their website, we can’t wait to stay in them in the future!!

Perfect for a solo traveler. Location is fantastic. Every promised in listing was as described and photographed. Just a couple of hiccups: both ceiling fans were dirty, and noisy. Also, my cellphone broke halfway through trip. I tried to contact hosts through VRBO website for some logistical help but never heard back. I will definitely recommend this place and intend to come back as soon as possible!! What a great trip!
