7 Min Walk to the Best Access Point on the Beach! Enjoy Incredible Views from the Solarium.

Love the beach but want to get away from it all, too? You will love Mermaid's Folly, which is a short walk from the beach and provides a quiet & peaceful retreat within the sun-drenched, bird-filled woods. Located on a low traffic street in a tree-filled residential neighborhood, this house provides its guests close proximity to the beach and Folly Beach's restaurant row on Center Street without all the congestion and noise that you'll find on the busier streets of the island. Guests of Mermaid's Folly can take a leisurely walk to the best public access point (fully equipped with its own bath house & rest room!) on Folly Beach and have their toes in the sand within 7 minutes of leaving the front door. At the end of the day, you can return home to enjoy sundowner cocktails on one of the home's three elevated porches that overlook the marsh or drive to downtown Charleston to enjoy the fabulous foodie & cultural delights of what readers of Southern Living magazine voted as the "Best City in the South" of 2017.

Fabulous Folly

We loved our stay at Mermaid folly. Walking to beach on paths was so easy. We brought our own chairs and beach towels because we only live 30 miles away but didn’t need to. There were plenty of chairs, towels and booger boards to use. The home is perfect and comfortable with everyone getting their own rooms. We had NO issues and the hosts are super! We look forward to renting in the future. Kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a long weekend celebrating our son completing his Knob year at The Citadel. The house was very nice with all the accommodations that we needed. We were also able to enjoy a short time on the beach. The property manager was easy to communicate with and answered any questions promptly.

Communication was great throughout the whole process. The location was in a quiet and relaxing neighborhood. The space was clean and well furnished, and the open floor plan was ideal for us to play games and enjoy family time. The sunroom was especially enjoyable

One of our best vacations

We have been to other parts of South Carolina before but have found Folly Beach as our new favorite beach! Mermaid's Folly was so clean and furnished beautifully, the neighborhood was quiet and in great proximity to the beach and downtown. It was also so close to Charleston. We are already talking about visiting again!

Clean, Comfortable Charleston Charm

We lived in Charleston for many years before work moved us to the upstate. It was so wonderful to stay at Mermaid’s Folly and feel like we were right back home! The home is beautiful and well appointed with anything to make your stay comfortable! We loved that it’s tucked back off the main roadway but still close enough ito take a short walk to the beach or the stores and restaurants. Everything is well maintained and clean. I can be a bit OCD with cleanliness but I didn’t have to worry here at all! We so appreciated the environment they’ve created here! Comfortable, clean, inviting, laid-back and beyond charming! Thank yall for a fantastic rental!

Perfect place for family!!!

We brought out 4 teenagers to see charleston and spend time at the beach. House was perfect for our trip! Great location! We did sight seeing in the morning and then beach time when we got back. House was well equipped - good kitchen set up, beach towels were provided and lots of games & books at night. Walkable to loggerheads restaurant for easy dinner. Parking on folly beach is difficult so it’s a real perk that this house is walkable to the Main Street and the beach. Would definitely go back again! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Mermaids Folly was the perfect house for our group of 7. The back room with the windows was so lovely and relaxing. Everything was clean and the house had everything we needed. It was also a perfect location - easy walk to downtown Folly and the beach. We rented golf carts to drive around Folly too - highly recommend!

Quiet and tidy home in Folly Beach

This home met the needs of us 4 adult travelers hoping to explore the Folly Beach area. We were happy to have a fully stocked kitchen and a clean, orderly home to relax in for 4 nights. The home is situated on a quiet street just a short walk to the beach or town. Would recommend for families or small groups seeking a peaceful stay!

Great stay

We loved Mermaid's Folly. It was clean and bright, and as described. Lots of spaces to hang out and eat. The kitchen was good for preparing meals, lots of spices already there when we arrived. The coffee setup was good (there was even a coffee grinder!). The beds were very comfortable. Lots of DVDs and tons of books to choose from. The street was very peaceful and pleasant, especially quiet even on New Year's Eve. It's a bit of a walk to the main street where the restaurants are, about 10 minutes with no sidewalks, but not too bad. Supermarkets within 5-10 minute drive. If we return to the area, we would stay here again.

Great place for a girls weekend

The property was well-maintained and comfortable. The kitchen was recently renovated and modern, though the plumbing and electricity in the bathrooms were a little old. Beach gear was minimal, so I'd advise looking into the rental companies the owners recommend. We enjoyed all the porches and the house is an easy walk to the beach. All in all, it was exactly what we needed for our long weekend and we enjoyed our time in Folly.
