7 Min Walk to the Best Access Point on the Beach! Enjoy Incredible Views from the Solarium.
Love the beach but want to get away from it all, too? You will love Mermaid's Folly, which is a short walk from the beach and provides a quiet & peaceful retreat within the sun-drenched, bird-filled woods. Located on a low traffic street in a tree-filled residential neighborhood, this house provides its guests close proximity to the beach and Folly Beach's restaurant row on Center Street without all the congestion and noise that you'll find on the busier streets of the island. Guests of Mermaid's Folly can take a leisurely walk to the best public access point (fully equipped with its own bath house & rest room!) on Folly Beach and have their toes in the sand within 7 minutes of leaving the front door. At the end of the day, you can return home to enjoy sundowner cocktails on one of the home's three elevated porches that overlook the marsh or drive to downtown Charleston to enjoy the fabulous foodie & cultural delights of what readers of Southern Living magazine voted as the "Best City in the South" of 2017.

Mermaid’s Folly
Mermaid’s Folly was so clean when we arrived! The house is spacious and the bedrooms are comfortable. All the appliances we used worked well, and the house was in a nice neighborhood. Being within walking distance to the beach was an added bonus my family was so excited about. Very happy with our stay!

Great stay!
We had a wonderful stay! The house is incredibly clean and has literally everything you could need. The location is also SO perfect, a true 6-7 minute walk to the beach, and then maybe 10 to the main strip. We were able to walk to dinner or shop so easily each night. Charleston is only 24ish minutes away which was also really great!
The grounds at the house and around the neighborhood are so gorgeous too, we are from New Jersey so the palms and Spanish moss were truly so beautiful to us!
We hope to be back in the future, this was a great introduction to Folly Beach!
The host left a little gift upon arrival and was very responsive to our questions. The home is beautiful and comfortable and the location is fantastic. We traveled with 7 and there was plenty of room for everyone. The sunroom was our favorite!
Your kind review made our day! We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic stay at our home Thank you for being such wonderful guests, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches

Mermaid’s Folly
A great comfortable home perched in live oak and palm on the edge of the Folly marshlands. Beautiful furnishings and easy tree shaded walk to the beach. And very quiet. We loved our week here

There was excellent communication with a quick solution to a small issue. The home is spacious comfortable, clean and convenient to the town and beaches of Folly. The large screened porch was especially nice. We watched six deer wander through the back yard. Beds were very comfortable. We hope to return next year!

A cozy and great place with a nice beach vipe. Has everything you would need to feel at home and sleep, wash up and eat Do bring a wagon though to get your stuff to the beach. It's a short walk, but water, snacks, toys, seats and towels add up.
