"This is a charming (a bit "funky") property. Exactly the kind of place I love for a beach stay. Loads of character and thoughtful touches like free sunscreen, beach towels to borrow, etc. Check in was easy and staff personable and attentive. Very short walk to the beach and even shorter to Center Street restaurants and shops. Will definately stay here again when at Folly."
