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.

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 previously voted as the Best City in the South.

    This house was so wonderful to stay in! The sunroom is the best place to just hangout with everyone. We all really loved it! Our only issue was the dishwasher broke right before we got there but everything else was perfect!

    This place was just as described in the listing. It was clean, comfy, and had a great back yard. It’s in a quiet neighborhood but very walkable to the beach or to the heart of Folly :) communication was amazing and we even got to check in early! Will def be back!

    We had a wonderful stay! The house is incredibly clean and has literally everything you could need. The location is also SO perfect, a true 6-7 minute walk to the beach, and then maybe 10 to the main strip. We were able to walk to dinner or shop so easily each night. Charleston is only 24ish minutes away which was also really great! The grounds at the house and around the neighborhood are so gorgeous too, we are from New Jersey so the palms and Spanish moss were truly so beautiful to us! We hope to be back in the future, this was a great introduction to Folly Beach!

    Mermaid’s Folly was so clean when we arrived! The house is spacious and the bedrooms are comfortable. All the appliances we used worked well, and the house was in a nice neighborhood. Being within walking distance to the beach was an added bonus my family was so excited about. Very happy with our stay!

    There was excellent communication with a quick solution to a small issue. The home is spacious comfortable, clean and convenient to the town and beaches of Folly. The large screened porch was especially nice. We watched six deer wander through the back yard. Beds were very comfortable. We hope to return next year!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Our family (the Davises) just returned from an amazing spring break stay at this home in Folly Beach (The Mermaid), and we can't say enough good things about it! We stayed for a full week with our twin 8-year-olds, as well as close friends who have an 8-year-old son. The house had everything we needed and was incredibly comfortable for both families. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach. The kids rode bikes and played in the quiet streets, just like you’d imagine in a dreamy beach town. The home was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with all the essentials, making it feel like a true home away from home. Guest services were outstanding—always responsive and helpful, which made our stay completely stress-free. This wasn’t our first time here—we also came during fall break and honestly can’t decide which time of year we like better! Our kids love playing sports on the beach and fishing off the pier, and we love the laid-back, family-friendly vibe of Folly. We’re already looking forward to coming back at least once a year. This place is a gem!
