Overview
Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
Sunset 98, Mariner’s Cay is ideally situated in the southwest corner of the Mariner’s Cay compound giving guests a panoramic view of the Folly River as well as knockout sunsets from the wrap-around screen porch. Mariner’s Cay is a gated community of residents and renters, which offers guests not only a swimming pool and tennis courts but also is only minutes away from the beaches and town of Folly Beach either by car, golf cart, bicycle or walking. The privacy and lack of traffic is perfect for small children and teenagers to bike, trike, skateboard or just hang out.
Since Sunset 98 is a corner unit, the view and the light upon entry is one of those ‘wow’ moments. With a southwestern exposure, the kitchen/dining/living area is totally open to the Folly River and marshes, including the occasional school of marlin. The next ‘wow’ moment comes at sunset when one must get his drink, hurry to the balcony and allow him/herself to be awed.
As can be seen by the photos, the unit has a large, master bedroom opening onto the balcony; a twin bedroom off the rear balcony and a double bedroom in the southeast corner for those who just want to get away for a nap or a good book. The open living area has a newly installed flat screen HDTV on a wall pivot, ie, no messing around by the kids...DVD is also included. In addition, both the master and double bedrooms have flat screen HDTVs, and for those who can’t completely get away, wireless is available throughout the unit.
Folly Beach is a six mile long barrier island, and the closest beach to historic Charleston, South Carolina (15 minutes on the Connector) where one can find outstanding cuisine, the performing arts and Civil War history.
During summer season (May 23-Aug. 30), we rent by the week and our turnover day is Saturday. Check-in: 3:00 PM; Check-out: 10:00 AM

About Lois, Owner
After a career in international development, our family has grown up around the world. In Charleston and at Folly Beach, we have found a place to relax and learn a lot more about our own country.
Lois, Owner purchased this condo in 1999
Why Lois, Owner chose Charleston Area
We wanted someplace quiet, yet active, to relax with good restaurants, perhaps a beach, and outstanding culture, cuisine with some history nearby. Hard to find? Yes, but the Charleston Shore at Folly Beach has all of these, as any guest will soon see.
What makes this condo unique
Sunset, relaxation, sunset, walkinig on the beach, sunset, good neighbors, sunset, and fun/friendly atmosphere of Folly Beach.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thanks so much for the email. We really enjoyed our time and enjoyed the lovely view of Folly River. Every evening, we'd all gather on the deck and have some snacks and watch the sunset. We found the place to be very clean-- we did meet Gigi the first day and she is fabulous. The complex was quiet and Henry (our 2 year old) enjoyed walking around the grounds. No problems with the condo at all. We will keep your email and will likely request to rent the place in the future when we have family coming into town to Atlanta that want to come with us for a beach vacation to Charleston.
We did end up finding a company in Charleston that rents baby equipment, should you get an inquiry in the future from another family renting your condo. It was called "Tots Around Town" and they were great-- reasonably priced and prompt service. We rented a crib that we placed in the room w/the double bed and Henry slept like a champ.
Many thanks again and we enjoyed staying in your lovely condo. It was a wonderful setting for a sunny and pleasant Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays!
Best, Kris

Wonderful!

The awesome sunsets are just the beginning!
We stayed here for 3 months. The condo is layed out well and very nicely decorated. The kitchen is well equipped and the closets have ample storage. It's bright and the view is just awesome. Watch the boats, kayaks, birds and dolphins. Beds are comfortable. Every week when our granddaughter was there she wanted to sit on the porch and eat dessert while watching the sunset. Even a 6 year old knows when the view is extra special. Close to everything, friendly neighbors, and Gigi was so helpful. We loved it so much, we are returning next year. Thanks so much Lois and Bob.
Perfect week!
This was our second stay at 98 Mariners Cay and we just love it! The upgraded porch furniture was a much welcomed change. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything one could need to cook, love having a washer and dryer in the unit,& extra pillows and blankets were on hand. The furniture was comfortable and the large dining table doubled as a card table for our late night uno attack tournaments. We received several texts from the property care taker who lives locally. She wanted to make sure we had everything we needed and it was so nice to know someone was easily accessible if we did have any needs.
The pool was, as always, clean and inviting. Afternoon swims followed by naps by the pool were on the agenda almost every day!
We walked to the pier several times and really enjoyed seeing the island on foot. It's the perfect walk for some exercise but not a marathon!
We saw dolphins everyday from the porch, the pier, or the light house.
If you are visiting the area for the first time you must visit Morris Island lighthouse at the northern end of Folly Island. This year we took the boat tour to Morris Island by Charleston outdoor adventures at Bowens Island. We highly recommend that to everyone!
We visit Folly every year and can't wait to return to 98 Mariners Cay!
98 Mariner's Cay
Loved our stay. Unit was super clean - has everything you could need. The views are amazing - spent one day just sitting on the porch watching the tide come in and out and looking for dolphins. Highly recommend this unit!
Beautiful and very roomy condo
We have stayed in several VRBO and Homeaway condos in various locations. This was by far, our favorite. It was well-decorated, had all of the amenities, and was very spacious with large rooms and closet space. The views are truly breathtaking. Both the owner, Lois, and her assistant, Gigi, were very helpful and kind when we contacted them with a few questions.
We definitely recommend going to the State Park beach. The water temp in August was 85 degrees!! It well worth the minimal fee for such a large, clean, easy accessibile beach!
Super-clean condo with a spectacular view!
This three bedroom condo fit our needs perfectly, was immaculate, and had one the prettiest views from its wrap-around porch of any vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Highly recommended!
Clean, older property with great management
This property was a good fit for our family. It is an older condo/complex, but it was very, very clean. The manager, Gigi, was awesome- attentative, accessible and helpful. As others have written, while sitting on the back patio, we saw dolphins playing- very cool. Most of the other residents of Mariners Cay seem to be more mature, so that was a nice contrast to the party vibe of Folly Beach. If you are looking for fancy/modern, this isn't the condo for you. However, if you want a clean, relaxing place at a reasonable price, like us, this wld be a great fit. One thing to mention: due to the age of the condo, the doorways to the bathrooms are narrow and would not accommodate a wheelchair. Our son uses a wheelchair but he is small so we made it work just fine.
