Hotel Folly is a small boutique hotel at 87 Center Street, at the Folly River end of the islandās main street. Its studios and suites have kitchenettes with full-size refrigerators, and many have balconies looking out over the marsh toward the sunset.
It is owned by a local family who have lived on Folly for more than 20 years, it welcomes dogs with approval, and every room comes with a free parking space, a real perk on Folly. From the front door you can walk down Center Street to the restaurants, bars and beach.
Typical rates are what we saw on major booking sites in September 2026 and change by season and date. FollyBeach.com may earn a commission when you book through our links, at no extra cost to you.

Good to know before you book
- Dogs are welcome with approval for a one-time fee: $125 for up to three nights, $150 for four to six and $250 for seven or more.
- There is no pool or breakfast, but the kitchenettes make longer stays easy.
- It is on the river end of Center Street, so the beach is a walk down the street rather than out the door.
- The same owners run the new Vera Hotel a few blocks away.
