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:

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.

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.

I had to reach out to the owner because I never received check in details. He was quick to reply and help with this. He even said the place was ready and we could check in early if needed. We didn't because we had a 2 hour drive and the 4:00 check in worked fine for us. I wish that I could attach pictures on how dirty the place was. I've seen other reviews of this property and understand its an old beach cabin so it will have slopping floors etc. There was a soiled and dried up dirty wash cloth in the bath tub. A potato and dirty dishes shoved in a lower cabinet and most pans had food stuck on them. The fridge had two giant 2.5 water jugs with very little water left, half a gallon of opened milk and many other used and opened items. This made it hard for us to have room for our own items. Half of the cabinets don't close and there was wadded up tissues inside the mirror cabinet that had been used. The bedroom carpets looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in months and there was children's dried up cereal under it. The bedroom sliding door wouldn't lock and the front door code would not work except to open it once. So we had to leave it unlocked when we left the house during the day. Full dog poop bags on the property. Mold in the showers and water damage all over the master bath shower because the door wouldn't shut all the way. I've stayed in motels that are cleaner. The only thing it has going for it is the location. So disappointed and grossed out.

I had a great stay, Folly Beach is great. The beach across the street is hard packed sand since it’s submerged at high tide. Not an issue for us though. For a bigger beach with soft sand walk 5 min down the road to the nature preserve/beach it’s beautiful.

Exactly as described. We had such a relaxing weekend. The house had everything we needed to cook fresh shrimp each day. We didn’t give the crab pots a proper chance but how exciting to check them every day.
