The Folliday Inn is a piece of Folly history. The Holliday family ran a small motel on this lot for 66 years, starting in the 1950s. In 2021 the Baldino family bought it to save it, gutted it to the studs in 2022 and kept the original wood paneling.
Today its 16 units are named after classic wooden boats, like the Torpedo and the Barrelback, and are rented like vacation units with kitchenettes. It is a block from the ocean, with one of the biggest pools on Folly, a lawn with a grill area and connecting rooms that work well for families and groups.
