About this property

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.

This is a very nice property with a "nature center" feel backyard. All of the decor is nicely themed and the whole place is very comfortable.We appreciated the "starter" laundry/dish detergent, shampoo, etc. .There are plenty of dishes, cups, cooking utensils, and the like for the party size this house can accommodate, which we don't always find to be true.A big shout-out to the property owners for excellent communication leading up to the rental, and during the stay.

A cozy and great place with a nice beach vipe. Has everything you would need to feel at home and sleep, wash up and eat Do bring a wagon though to get your stuff to the beach. It's a short walk, but water, snacks, toys, seats and towels add up.

Seven women cousins from five states/seven cities spent four nights/five days here in Oct. while a tropical weather system stalled in the Atlantic and brought rain every day. Thankfully, we all get along and the house was amazing. Very clean! Kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. Beds comfortable. Games and books were available for us to use. Folly Beach is a wonderful beach and and a quaint town-We just did not get to experience much of it during this stay. If we could have gotten to the beach during typical Oct. weather in SC, the wagon, beach chairs, beach towels, and other extras provided would have been great. Highly recommend!

Recognition weekend

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.

Perfect Spot

We loved our stay at Mermaid’s Folly. Close to all the local spots we wanted to visit and an easy drive to Charleston. The house itself was so comfortable. Lots of cozy, comfortable seating areas, a well-supplied kitchen, comfortable bedrooms. We loved it all.

Easter Visit

We visited Mermaid’s Folly for an Easter trip. The house was clean, roomy, beautifully decorated and well stocked. We used the gas grill and many of the kitchen gadgets and platters. The solarium was perfect to enjoy our morning coffee as well as watch the deer feeding and playing in the evening. The comfortable beds and quiet neighborhood made sleep easy. We even walked to the beach, into town for the restaurants and to Church on Sunday. Highly recommend this house for your next stay.
