We loved Marsh Madness! Beautiful marsh views, very spacious and open floorplan that worked so well for our family.

Group of friends for 50 years enjoyed a long weekend at Marsh Madness. House was well laid out with everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful views of sunset across the marsh. We didn’t cook so can’t speak to pots and pans but we did hire a private chef one night and there was plenty of room. Loved the location and the house.
3.0 / 5.0
We loved the view of the marsh from the kitchen table. We spent most of our time there.
The home is beautifully decorated and comfortable with an abundance of space.
We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the kitchen dishes, silverware, pots and pans. Since there wasn't anything available to clean them, SOS pads etc., so I am not surprised but disappointed. There were food solids on multiple pans and pots. And both electric and manual can openers were black with solids I went out the second day and bought two pans so I could at least cook some of what I brought with us.
We made an assumption that 4 BR/4Bath would give each of us a full bathroom. We were mistaken and had to share a bathroom. Not prefered.
General suggestions:
-List of what can be recycled
-Info on how to use the TV with multiple remotes
Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Marsh Madness was a great vacation spot for our family of 7 adults. Beautiful marsh views, easy walk to the beach, very clean, great kitchen and plenty of space for everyone

Marsh Madness - the photos don’t do it justice! Our party was 8 adults and we had plenty of room to eat together, play games together and simply hang out. Easy beach access is .1 mile away. We loved watching the marsh wildlife and how it changed with the tides. We will definitely come back!

The sunsets were amazing and the space was great. We all agreed that it would be a place we would return with our own extended families because the house has enough space to all hang out together.

Wonderful family vacation at Marsh Madness!
Wonderful 10 day stay at Marsh Madness. House was exactly as described…well stocked kitchen…all the appliances and cooking utensils needed for preparing most of our meals. The house was situated well away from the center of Folly Beach so it was very quiet at night. We rented a golf cart to drive to the Washout and go to the center of town when needed. The other beach access is very close…less than a 10 minute walk. Because of the house’s location the beach was very quiet during the day with lots of space. About the only thing I would fuss about was the lack of bath mats….definitely needed. I would recommend renting Marsh Madness!

Great Family Getaway
We loved our stay at Marsh Madness! The home is very spacious with plenty of room for all eight of us (including four kids from ages 10-18 and in-laws). The marsh view from the kitchen and back deck is simply beautiful! You can see the ocean from the living area level deck, but it’s even better from the loft deck. The description says it has three bathrooms, but there are actually four bathrooms, which was a great surprise benefit. The loft area has a full-size futon and 3/4 bath and deck. The master has a king bed and a 3/4 bath with access to the back deck, and the queen sized bedroom has a private full bath. There is another full bath in the hall between the other two king-size bedrooms. It was an easy walk to the beach access at 1640, and a quick drive to the handicapped parking lot at 1670. The walk to the lighthouse beach is lovely, but hot! Bring water!! Parking in the town center is paid parking (and more expensive on the weekend), but has plenty of shops and restaurants. It’s an easy drive into Charleston (about 20-25 minutes), so we took full advantage as we were there to tour College of Charleston. Few hiccups firing our stay. The house didn’t have enough towels and was missing two shower mats. The dryer wasn’t functioning properly (wouldn’t dry clothes), but the management company came right out to check out the issue. (A technician was needed, so hopefully it was repaired after we left.) The couches and beds were comfortable. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax. The hammock on the ground level was a favorite hangout for the kids. The outside shower came in handy after our beach visits. We’d definitely stay at Marsh Madness again. Great family getaway!

Great house
The house was perfect for our large family. It’s more spacious in person which was nice for our large group. I would recommend a golf cart if you have young children going to and from
The beach as the access is a little bit of a walk but fine for adults. Kitchen was fully equipped and the marsh views and sunsets are amazing!

Wonderful
Came from Illinois and had local family join us for a staycation. It was the perfect place to spend Thanksgiving week together. House was better than the pictures. Not super close to downtown Folly but with small kids during a pandemic this was perfect, and it was the perfect distance away for a leisurely golf cart ride to pick up dinner or run to the store for odds and ends. Would absolutely book here again!

Awesome!
The house was larger and more open then the pictures so it justice. Beautiful view from the back of the marsh and of the ocean from the top deck. Only down side was that it was very difficult to get an Uber to travel into Charleston, local cab service was our saving grace. Not sure if it was because we stayed during off season? Great place for a girls trip.

Beautiful views
Marsh Maddness was the perfect house for our family’s stay in Folly. The view of the marsh is so beautiful and serene, and there is a great view of the beach just across the street as well. It was a 5 minute drive and 10 minute walk to view the Morris Island Lighthouse and about a 25-30 minute drive to historic downtown Charleston. The house was clean, and it has very nice decor. Communication with Caroline One was easy, and they were very accommodating. We hope to have the opportunity to stay at Marsh Maddness again in the future!

Great Beach house
We loved the views of the marsh from the kitchen, dining room and deck. We ate breakfast on the deck every morning. The sunsets are beautiful. The house feels very roomy, all the bedrooms are a nice size and it is in very good condition. The extra bathroom upstairs came in handy too. This is my favorite location at Folly.

Marsh Madness equals serenity
What a lovely home. The location, right on the marsh and Folly River was very serene and was perfect for sunset watchers. The property was also a short walk to the beach access. Good sized and well equipped kitchen for multiple cooks. Lots of games on site for rainy days. We will be back.

Beautiful Property
This property was exactly as described in the booking process. the view off of the back is marshland and the city of Charleston, off of the front you can see the ocean just past one home. The home was very up to date, clean and well stocked. The porches and stairs were very nice and secure (which was important due to us having children). Beach access was just a short walk, the area was very nice and quaint. Town is only 2.5 miles away and you can rent a golf cart and drive back and forth making parking much easier. We couldn's have asked for a better place to stay in Folly.

We enjoyed our stay! This place exceeded our expectations.
The property was very clean. The view of the marsh and ocean was amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the decks, taking in the views. The location was prime, with access to the beach very close. The only thing I would suggest would be to put televisions in every bedroom. We will definitely be renting this place again, thanks for sharing your home.

Amazing spot!
Had a great momcation there with 8 moms! Perfect location-perfect weather! Able to uber easily into Charleston many times. Very spacious, very clean and views are amazing! Worth every penny! Only two small things—information from Carolina One on how to get into door was incorrect in email. Need better instructions for newly installed front door lock. Second issue was oven was never plugged in correctly. Took almost 24 HRs for someone to show up and fix after notification. Luckily stove was gas and we had a lighter. Newly renovated—so we assume it was due to that.

Thanksgiving Week
My family and I absolutely love this beach house. We spent Thanksgiving Week here with additional family and friends and absolutely loved it. The floor plan is great for multiple families, and the sunsets are great from the back. This was our second time renting this beach house, and it won't be the last. Highly recommend.

Fantastic family vacation spot!
Marsh Madness was a perfect place for our family of eight! The house was tastefully done and well maintained, and the large kitchen table was great for family dinners! A smaller table was great for games! Our only wish was that the house had access to the marsh for paddle boating or fishing! We would definitely choose Marsh Madness again!

Excellent, family friendly house!
We really enjoyed our stay at Marsh Madness. Relaxing, outstanding marsh view and still a short walk to the beach. Family friendly and affordable make this house a winner!

Great house with a lovely marsh view.
The house layout for bedrooms and dinning was perfect. I'm a southern boy so the roaches didn't bother me but my wife was surprised. A little attention in that area is needed. We were informed the beach was available 3 houses down, wrong, it is was 10 houses one way and 17 houses the other way. That's a block or two. I corrected the house book but the internet stuff will have to be corrected by realty firm or owners. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans. Get rid of the aluminum pots with cheap abundance of non stick cheap pans. My wife cooked an egg in one and it took me 1/2 hour to clean. Those pots are 30-50 yrs old, I sold them as a teenager working my way thru school. But overall we were satisfied and plan to go back with a 50% chance I would rent this house again. Like anyone else we always looking for the beach front because of small kids but usually have to settle for marsh view since we aren't earners anymore just retired and living on fix incomes mostly because I didn't work for the state or federal government!!

A place to revisit!
It was a great house! We liked staying away from downtown Folly. It was less congested. Yet, we were close enough to drive there whenever we wanted to. The house was clean and comfortable! We would definitely recommend it to others and would stay there again!
