About this house rental

***FULL DISCLOSURE***
Our classic Folly cottage is older for sure, but freshly painted, fully furnished and ready for your family. This home is 70 years old and as such has some peculiarities consistent with it's age. If sloping floors, small closets and vintage finishes are not your preference, you may want to continue your search. There are many new construction and fully remodeled homes on Folly that might be a better fit for you!

Our 1959 cottage has everything you need to enjoy the best of Folly Beach. Located in the quiet east end of the Island (past the washout), this home enjoys dramatic panoramic views of the Folly River and marsh with peeks of the ocean waves. Sunsets and sunrises here are magical. Marshmellow is across the street from the ocean, and just two houses down from beach access. This very cozy and charming cottage is on an elevated, single main floor. Sleeping areas feature two marsh front bedrooms with queen beds and one day/trundle bed in master for kids. This house includes a living area with ample seating, 55-inch flat screen tv with with smart tv and local hd antenna and a fully outfitted kitchen and dinning area. Enjoy the beautiful, original 200 year old hardwood floors reclaimed from a home in downtown Charleston. Marshmellow has a large wrap around porch with outdoor dining area, loungers and chairs. Large lawn and crab dock for paddle boarding or crabbing (for kayaks, please visit our friends at Coastal Expeditions!)

We look forward to your stay in our little paradise. If you decide you'd like to include a stay in downtown Charleston or another Folly Beach property, these are are our other options:

This property could be a true, 5 star rental. However, there was mold in both baths, Shower door was barely hanging on and the BR doors to the shared deck, would not lock. The washer and dryer were located on the lower (under house) space and still had towels in the washer. The laundry room was a mess! There was open food in the refrigerator left by previous guests. The house is spacious, clean, light and airy and could be a prime rental with some necessary upkeep. It is conveniently located with a beautiful view of the marsh, sunsets as well as a small, ocean view and restaurants are close by.

Property was charming and the area was quiet. Can’t beat the sunset view of the marsh. I’d come back.

Lovely, quiet older house steps from the beach. Easy check in and out. As advertised, Marshmellow has some little quirks that come with it being an older home, but nothing that the marsh view and proximity to the beach didn’t more than make up for. Loved the sunsets from the spacious back deck. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

House was clean and had everything we needed. Located away from the madding crowds, so that was nice. Beach was great and close by. Marshes off the back deck was a nice feature and we were able to see about 20 fireworks displays in the distance beyond the marsh on July 4. Great sunsets! The kids enjoyed watching the little crabs off the “crab dock” at low tide.

We had a wonderful time revisiting Marshmellow. The location near the end of the island is perfect, the marsh views are spectacular, and the proximity to the quiet stretch of beach can't be beat. Steven was super helpful and responsive. We hope to come back again.

This was our first trip to Charleston and Folly Beach. I was in town visiting my daughter and grandkids. This beach house was further down away from the “busier” part of town, which I loved. Yet just a short drive to the main strip. Easy walk to the beach access and deep yard w/ older dock to the back marsh waters. My grands loved catching “crabs” . The home is older however very cute and spacious inside & nicely furnished. Comfortable stay and I am looking forward to visiting again some day. Steve was great too! Prompt communication and easy access instructions.

A girlfriend and I have come here twice now for a joint birthday trip. It is the perfect house for the two of us - We love having the Marsh-view with our coffee in the morning and a quick walk across the road to the beach. I was sad to find out that they are not accepting reservations for next year. The only thing I will note is that neither of the sliding glass doors in the bedrooms actually lock And the wooden block to secure the door was missing in one of the rooms. There is also a lock completely broken off of one of the bedroom windows. Seeing as it’s just us 2 women, we do like to feel secure in the home at night. Otherwise, this house is always incredibly clean, cozy and well stocked.
