Let me start by saying the location of the house is great. The deck is perfect, but my family enjoys sitting on the porch and listening to the waves and we couldn’t do that. There is a large machine on the beach that runs nonstop. The noise is absolutely unnerving. We should have been told about this. This was our family vacation for the year and could not enjoy being outside. Also, the house decorations are so outdated. There are stuffed dolls hanging in every corner of the sun room. The dining room table has a plastic table cloth with plastic mats. None of the wall pictures match just random things hung. The dishes were dirty. There are small rugs everywhere. The large rugs are dirty. The garbage was overflowing when we got there. And was that way for 3 days. Rats were in it one night. Overall not satisfied.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! House was close to everything we needed and it was the perfect spot on the beach. We rode bikes to breakfast each morning and thoroughly enjoyed the house..especially the sunroom! Already planning to go back!

This is our second time at mermaid memories. The beach was so beautiful. The house was cozy and clean. We made great memories with our kids and my parents !

Staying at Mermaid memories was such a joy. The back porch and view of the ocean was breathtaking. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Getting to walk right down to the beach each morning with our three kids was priceless. The house was clean and comfortable and very homey. We cooked in the kitchen each night of our stay and it was so easy ! We found shark teeth and hermit crabs on the beach and enjoyed the tide going in and out each day. We very much look forward to staying at Mermaid memories again !

One of the best houses we’ve ever rented. The view of the ocean from the sunroom and deck is amazing. The house was very clean and comfortable. It had two oceanfront king suites. The kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate so we’re ready to go back.

We had a wonderful few days here. Walking directly out to the beach was fantastic! Will be coming back.

The house was perfect! Big enough to fit the family and feel like we all had our own spaces/bathrooms. Far enough away from the pier to basically have the beach to yourself on multiple occasions, but close enough to walk along the beach to dinner every night. Was awesome to rent some beach gear, went paddle boarding, saw dolphins sitting on the deck. Would recommend!

Awesome stay at Folly Beach
Beautiful home right on the beach. We had a wonderful time as a family gathering sea shells, soaking up some sun, shopping in town , and spending time touring Charleston. Would stay here again, no questions.

Nice place
The house is very well equipped. The enclosed porch and the open deck are great. There is also attractive artwork on the walls. The ocean is just steps away.
There is a second (smaller but adequate) refrigerator on the porch. which is handy.
I recommend it for groups that want a 2 bedroom house.

Amazing quiet New Year’s Week with the family.!
Stayed here for New Year’s Week with our family of 4 - my husband and 2 daughters (13 and 17). The house was perfect- stocked with everything you could possibly need and even things you didn’t know you needed! The sunroom was the perfect place to sit and read and look out on the ocean. And the location could not be beat. The house is on a beautiful stretch of beach, about a 15 min walk into “town”. Having quarantined in our house for months it was just nice to be in this beautiful location away from home!

Great getaway during pandemic.
House was clean and the perfect size for my wife and I to safely spend a few days away from all the troubles of the world. Mermaid Memories could have easily accommodated more people, but it was nice keeping it cozy. DH

Folly 2020
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the property. Location was amazing!!! looking at that ocean all day/night was breath-taking!!! it had all the comforts of home. My only issue was with the cleanliness in the kitchen.. The top of the refrigerator was very dirty/dusty/greasey. When we pulled down an appliance we had to wash it. There were several pieces of silverware/dishware that was not clean/still had dried food on it. Pantry closet in kitchen had onion skins on floor - didn't look like the closed had been swept out from the previous renters.

Amazing Beach House & Location
The property was amazing. The property had a ton of extra touches. Hats, beach gear, kitchen items, first aide kit, blankets, .....there was no need to bring anything extra. We just loved this property. Close enough to the pier and far enough away that the beaches were not crowded. 5 Star Vacation.

Mermaid Memories
We had a fantastic stay at Mermaid Memories. Perfect location and a great house for young ones, there’s a great tide pool out front! Lots of shark teeth to find. Everyone loved outdoor showers! Can’t wait to book again next year

Perfect in every way!
Family of 7 with 5 kids from 18 months to 11 yrs old. This was our first ACTUAL vacation as a family, and it did NOT disappoint! Perfect location, well-stocked kitchen (which we used a ton), great washer and dryer (which we also used a ton) and so much more. The queen bunk beds were perfect for the 4 older kids. We just can't say enough good about this house! Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing beach, wonderful property and the perfect distance from city center (a short bike ride). Very comfortable and an
accurate listing from the owner. First time to South Carolina beaches. Would love to revisit !

Fantastic beach front cottage
Wow. Mermaid Memories was a great 2 bedroom right on the beach. We were able to watch the sunrise directly on our deck or just a few short steps to the beach. The beach is nice and wide (even wider at low tide). This had to be one of the best equipped kitchens we have seen. We used the grill several nights (a nice touch). Very spacious for 4 people that could easily accommodate 6 people (maybe 8 if there were young children). Its just a short drive into Charleston which you don't want to miss. We would definitely rent Mermaid Memories again.

Great getaway for our girls trip! Coffee on the porch watching the sun rise was a favorite!

Great location and easy for families
We loved Mermaid Memories. Easy and fun for families. Lots of beach toys, and kids loved the bunks beds. There were beach towels available even though we were originally told there were not. There weren’t any extra toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex or extra garbage bags do you have to buy your own. Was a little skimpy on that but everything else was nice, plenty of bath towels and shampoo.

Absolutely amazing!
This property has everything you could ask for when renting at Folly. You can’t beat the location and the relaxing views. The house is set up perfectly for the kids to sleep soundly in their huge room while the adults can still enjoy some time on the deck at night watching the stars. It was well equipped and didn’t lack any supplies you needed to get started. The two outdoor showers were awesome and there is plenty of parking for family/friends coming to use the beach. Our family of four absolutely loved it! We hope to be back next year!
