Sunset 98, Mariner’s Cay is ideally situated in the southwest corner of the Mariner’s Cay compound giving guests a panoramic view of the Folly River as well as knockout sunsets from the wrap-around porch. Mariner’s Cay is a gated community of residents and renters, which offers guests not only a swimming pool and tennis courts but also is only minutes away from the beaches and town of Folly Beach either by car, golf cart, bicycle or walking. The privacy and lack of traffic is perfect for small children and teenagers to bike, trike, skateboard or just hang out.
Since Sunset 98 is a corner unit, the view and the light upon entry is one of those ‘wow’ moments. With a southwestern exposure, the kitchen/dining/living area is totally open to the Folly River and marshes, including the occasional school of marlin. The next ‘wow’ moment comes at sunset when one must get a drink, hurry to the balcony and allow him/herself to be awed.
As can be seen by the photos, the unit has a large, master bedroom opening onto the balcony; a twin bedroom off the rear balcony and a double bedroom in the southeast corner for those who just want to get away for a nap or a good book. The open living area has a newly installed flat screen HDTV on a wall pivot, ie, no messing around by the kids...DVD is also included. In addition, both the master and double bedrooms have flat screen HDTVs, and for those who can’t completely get away, wireless is available throughout the unit.

Folly Beach is a six mile long barrier island, and the closest beach to historic Charleston, South Carolina (15 minutes on the Connector) where one can find outstanding cuisine, the performing arts and Civil War history.

During summer season (May 23-Aug. 30), we rent by the week and our turnover day is Saturday. Check-in: 3:00 PM; Check-out: 10:00 AM

    This unit is at the far end of the complex - it's private, with a brilliant view of sunset that comes directly into the living room. The screen porch ensures that you can be outside any time of the day/night or season, and breezes cool the place regardless of how hot it might be outside. The owners have anticipated almost anything you might need. The kitchen, laundry facilities, and bedrooms are stocked with the basics, so you don't need to bring much. Folly Beach and Charleston are close by - with the beach and famous Folly pier within walking distance. Don't miss the dolphins when the tide changes. We're already looking at the calendar for next summer.

    Our stay here was excellent! Plenty of space for our family of 5. The condo is exactly as advertised. Everything was very very clean. There were plenty of towels. The nightly sunsets overlooking the Folly River from the porch were just incredible. The condo has an elevator available for suitcases and other heavy items. Short walk over the bridge into the center of Folly and the beach. The washer and dryer in the condo was a huge help. We loved the pool within the condo complex. The host and manager are also very responsive to any questions or needs.

    In addition to superb sunsets, the enclosed balcony overlooks a huge expanse of tidal salt-marsh. All day long the tide is either quietly coming in or quietly going out. The view is different every time you look out. It is a terrific way to observe nature.

    My daughter and I had a great time at the condo. The condo had everything you could possibly need, including many pots/pans/dishes in the kitchen. The only thing we needed to buy was groceries. We were looking for a relaxing vacation & boy did we get it! Folly Beach was so nice & the view and sunsets from the condo back porch were beautiful! We even saw dolphins from the porch. We will definitely be back.

    We had a lovely stay. The unit is spacious and well equipped with everything you could need. The unit is clean and the owners were great at communicating with us. It is a short walk into Folly Beach, if you do not want to drive. This is our second time staying in this unit and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

    Our stay at Mariners Cay in Folly Beach, SC, was absolutely phenomenal. The views from both inside the unit and on the screened-in wrap-around porch were breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing vacation. The condo's location was ideal: close enough to access everything with ease but far enough from the busier, louder areas to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. We drove into Charleston daily for dinner, just a convenient 25-minute drive away. Cru Cafe in Charleston quickly became a favorite, and Edison James Island was an excellent choice for local dining. The pool at Mariners Cay was pristine, with ample seating and clean restrooms nearby, so there was no need to trek back to the condo. The bedrooms were very comfortable, each equipped with a TV, ensuring everyone had their own space to unwind. The entire unit was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for the week. Susan, the property manager, was just a phone call away for any questions or assistance. Although we didn't require any help, she was very responsive and helpful when we had a quick question about gate access. A word of advice for the area: adhere to the speed limits. We saw numerous cars pulled over for speeding, so it's best to drive carefully. We can't wait to rebook this unit and visit Folly Beach again. Our experience at Mariners Cay was truly unforgettable.

    This is the second time we have stayed at the Merrill’s beautiful place and as in the previous year, it did not disappoint. The space is perfect for our small family and the proximity to James Island is ideal. The views also can’t be beat. We will definitely be back again!

    Amazing view of water and wildlife. We saw many dolphins and birds every day. The condo is very spacious and the elevator is a must. You are just minutes to the beach, food, and shopping. And you don’t have to fight all of the Charleston traffic to get to Folly.
