We loved Mermaid Memories! You even checked to make sure things were going well through the entire stay! Very friendly and the house was VERY clean! Linens and towels were of very good quality. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Beautiful house and wonderful service. My family has stayed at several houses on folly beach and this one has been the best. Thank you for going above and beyond.

Wonderful beach setting, quiet, private and awesome views.

I did like the location and the big deck out back. The house was comfortable and the space worked out great to accommodate 3 couples celebrating retirement. I thought that Carolina One was easy to work with and the checking process smooth.

House was clean and well prepared for our stay. Very helpful directions via email throughout our planning, arrival and checkout.

After 6 years on IOP, we decided to switch things up and try Folly. It did not disappoint! The house is lovely and in a great location. The deck is absolutely unmatched, built around two palm trees. We appreciated the little touches like the kids table and chair, family photos, and box of flip flops. Plenty of beach toys, well-stocked kitchen, and nice full-size W/D. Folly has a lot of casual dining options, which is perfect for us, and a lot of fun little shops. Carolina One made renting the house so easy

This was a wonderful rental. We loved the two king suites and the location right on the beach was phenomenal. Unfortunately it was chilly but we thoroughly enjoyed the sunroom. The kitchen was stocked very well. It was one of the cleanest rentals we have rented.

The house itself was very nice it felt like home it had everything you needed. great view. great time. thank you!
- Joshua , Posted: 10/08/2022

We had a fabulous time in this house. The quality of the furnishings, linens and kitchen appliances / appointments was excellent. I've stayed at a lot of airbnbs and this is by far the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen. The sun porch with views of the ocean was so beautiful and relaxing. Folly Beach is a very cute beach town with great selection of restaurants and souvenir shops. I came here for a girls trip with my mom and sisters and we had such a great time. The house was perfect for us.

This was our second stay at Mermaid Memories and we're so glad we were able to come back! My children want to make it an annual tradition. The home is so comfortable, is beautifully decorated and furnished very well. Such a relaxing atmosphere! The additional master bedroom and bath was a real bonus this year and it looks fantastic. All beds were so comfy, and we love the deck, grill, palms and hammock. But the best part of all is that the ocean is just outside your doors!
- Cynthia , Posted: 06/12/2022

Mermaid Memories (20-30 May 2022) was absolutely great. We have a LONG history with Folly Beach. Mermaid Memories was the absolutely best rental we have ever had at Folly Beach. Clean, equipped, extra benefits, obvious owner pride. Carolina One Folly employees were GREAT. Specifically, Amber and Kayla. We knew Amber from Avocet. She is the reason we rented from Carolina One. Avocet sold, Vacasa was, to us, unprofessional. Amber and Kayla were/are a treat/joy. They should be rewarded.
- Coy , Posted: 06/08/2022

Excellent experience at Folly once again! Can't wait to return.
- Jessica , Posted: 04/10/2022

Great house, beautiful view, attentive management. Awesome family trip! We'll be back, thanks!
- Susan , Posted: 08/21/2021

We thoroughly enjoyed Mermaid Memories. The view was spectacular and the house was among the most well-appointed of the many in which we've stayed through the years.
- Michael , Posted: 06/12/2021

Beautiful home! So well stocked for guests, especially the sand toys and pantry amenities. Comfortable beds, lots of room for a family of 4.

Excellent rental and service! Organized, clean and well stocked! Had an amazing week!
- Monica , Posted: 01/04/2021

Mermaid Memories is a wonderful home to enjoy a beach front vacation. This was our fourth consecutive year staying at this rental and we will be back!! The home is well laid out, ideal for a family, two couples, or just for a spacious retreat for one couple. We love the open concept, eat-in kitchen, amenities, and of course- the incredible deck overlooking the ocean. Boardwalk is fantastic giving you easy access to the beach. Check-in is super easy and the property is always wonderfully welcoming.
- Kathleen , Posted: 11/05/2020

Wonderful property, the view is amazing!! Love the porch area!!!
- Bonnie , Posted: 10/22/2020

This is an exceptional property. Clean, well stocked and comfortable. The birthday card for my daughter was a perfect touch. Everyone that visited loved the house.
- Donna , Posted: 08/29/2020

We loved Mermaid Memories and are planning to return next year. The total of four showers (with tankless water heater), comfy beds, and terrific Ninja blender were definite plusses.
- Virginia , Posted: 08/22/2020

A beautiful home. It was every bit and more of how it was advertized
- Brian , Posted: 08/15/2020

The house was as described, if not better. And Carolina One was excellent to work with, very attentive to make sure everything was perfect.
- Yvette , Posted: 08/08/2020

This property was beautiful and I would love to stay here again!
- Rachel , Posted: 07/18/2020

Mermaid Memories and Carolina One offered a clean, well equipped home for our vacation. The home has everything needed plus more, the owners have gone above and beyond to make sure you have even those little things you may forget. We had plenty of room with two adults and three small children (8, 6, and 4). The access to the beach is the best part of the home, only a few steps and you are on the sand. That feature can't be beat.
- Jenny , Posted: 06/20/2020

This was the perfect get away for our family vacation! Beautiful views, great deck and sunroom with pretty much everything you need! As a bonus, we went fishing right in front of the house and caught a 5 lb. bass. We will be back!
- Ricky , Posted: 06/13/2020

The house was everything you could ask for and my family and I loved it. We had the beach to ourselves and loved this section of the beach with the large sandbars. Great for kids!
- Traci , Posted: 06/06/2020

Loved Mermaid Memories! We will definitely book another staycation here.
- Becky , Posted: 06/03/2020

Amazing location at the quiet end of Folly Beach. Cozy and comfortable.
- Megan , Posted: 02/17/2020

Stayed for a week in October. Beautiful weather and loved being right on the beach.
- Traci , Posted: 11/01/2019

We came to see charleston , but the house and the location right on the beach made it extremely hard to leave. This place is just as advertised, and we absolutely loved it !! Cant wait to go back.
- Bob , Posted: 10/28/2019

Great place to hang out in Folly. Clean and functional space in a perfect spot. Hope to return.
- John , Posted: 09/28/2019

Mermaid Memories was exactly what we needed. The location is unbeatable. The kitchen is well-equipped and was perfect for preparing meals for our family. The area was quiet, and folks in the area were kind. The home is comfortable and inviting. We felt relaxed and settled almost immediately. The deck is beautiful and perfect for catching serene beach sunrises. We really had a hard time leaving, and cannot wait to return!
- James , Posted: 09/22/2019

Beautiful beach house, well appointed and cared for. Location is perfect, close to everything but far enough west on the island to feel secluded and chill
- Craig , Posted: 09/14/2019

Wonderful house for our family of four! Also great space for hosting a dinner with the whole family followed by enjoying the beautiful beach views. This house had everything we needed and more. Loved Mermaid Memories! We will be back!
