Classic Folly Beach Cottage !! Ocean across the street - Marsh in back!
About this house rental
Nestled in James Island, this charming house for $423 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Our classic Folly cottage is older for sure, but freshly painted, fully furnished and ready for your family. Our home has everything you need to enjoy the best of Folly Beach. Located on the quiet east end of the Island (past the washout), this home enjoys dramatic panoramic views of the Folly River and marsh. Sunsets here are magical. Marshmellow is across the street from the ocean, and just two houses down from beach access. 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 as well that might be a better fit for you and your family! 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.

The kitchen had almost everything we needed to make our Turkey dinner for 6! It’s a bit worn but comfortable.
We sure missed the kayaks though.
Will come back again in the summer.

I absolutely adore this house! It’s quaint and full of character. I love knowing there’s 70+ years of love and stories between these walls. Steve was easy to work with and we were quite comfortable.

We had the best fall break week in Folly Beach. The Marshmellow Cottage was perfect for our family. It is an older home but has been very well maintained and was very clean. My boys enjoyed the dock over the marsh. We loved that it was a short walk to the beach and within walking distance to the lighthouse. Steven was very helpful with everything. We will definitely stay here again.

Was the perfect stay for us and our 1 yr old. We enjoyed the marsh view and proximity to the beach. Also felt very private.

We really enjoyed this rental. The beds were comfortable, the living/dining space was generously sized and the decks outside were just lovely. We had never stayed at this end of Folly before and it was nice and quiet. Would definitely return.
After reading other reviews, I brought some extra lamps. This brightened up the kitchen. We would have also been fine without them, but the extra evening light was nice.

This property was perfect for our family beach vacation - stocked with all the essentials, comfortably furnished and very clean. The really special part of staying at this property is getting to enjoy the sunset over the marsh each night - just stunning.
The property owner was responsive and incredibly helpful.
Beach access is directly across the street, downtown Folly is a quick trip in the car, and downtown Charleston is also easily accessible for a day trip.
We found lots to do with our young kids - carriage ride downtown, Charleston aquarium, casual dinners in Folly. Highly recommend this beach cottage and hope to bring the family back soon!

Perfect getaway for our girls weekend! Close to the beach, town but far enough away from the congestion of town. All the amenities you need to enjoy your stay!

This was our first visit to Folly Beach and we are in love! This VRBO is bright and cheerful with a large windowed sitting room and open kitchen/dining/family space. The best part was the amazing marsh views from the full deck of the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have access to the deck and waking up to the egrets and pelicans over the marsh was amazing. The beach is across the street and only a 5min walk through the public access point. The house had everything we needed and this is an unbeatable quiet location at the end of Folly Beach. We would love to come back for a longer stay :)

This house was even better than we expected. It is an older home but it is still very full of life and charm. I loved the original touches that have been maintained. The hardwood floors are spectacular. The marsh view is unbeatable and the close proximity to the beach was amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed, to include a coffee grinder (life saver when we realized we’d accidentally grabbed whole bean coffee!). The water pressure was fantastic and we didn’t experience the low level of hot water referenced in a previous review. The owner has thought of everything. We have already put in a request to return next year! If you are on the fence… book it! You will not be disappointed.

First off, the location is amazing- we loved being close to the beach and also having the river in the back. The house is cute with its exposed beams and sunroom.
However, for the price of the stay, I would expect to have slightly better amenities. For example, they only give you *starter* toilet paper and no shampoo or body wash. In addition, I had to clean out the fridge from past guests. I also did not appreciate the host messaging me mid-stay to take the trash can bins to the street. If I'm paying a $200 cleaning fee, that should be something done by the host or the cleaners.
Also, don't get excited about the giant bath tub, there is only enough hot water to fill it about 1/4 full. Overall, I would stay there again with the expectation that it is a bit rough around the edges.
5.0
The property is in the best area (for me) of Folly Beach- the East end where one has quiet, access to the beach and a daily panorama of birdlife in the marsh and around the house. Amazing birdsong to accompany the quiet. All the amenities are there for a good beach experience.

The home was very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was stinky so we spent most of the time inside which was ok because the home was really comfortable and nice. We will be back! Thank you.

We wanted to visit Charleston and all the attractions but did Not want to be in the city. This house is on the quiet and beautiful end of Folly island. The house is exactly as described and a perfect getaway. Our Weather was cool and some rain - I can only imagine how perfect it is when the sun is out and the ocean breeze blows. The back deck is huge and a beautiful view. Would love to return.

The house is charming and the location cannot be beat. We appreciated being away from busier part of the town to enjoy the peace & quiet. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

A lovely old beach cottage with "charming" flaws. The floors slope, the kitchen is outdated, and the lighting is dim but the location made up for it. Awesome views of the marsh, short walk to the beach and very conveniently located for our day outings.
5.0
Cottage was just as described. Tasteful décor in a spotless vintage home. Very quiet neighborhood but easy access to beach and downtown, wonderful huge deck with marsh views. We loved it! Only one minor thing to note - the kitchen lighting is a bit dim for food prep/cooking, especially over the bar area. Otherwise perfect!

We choose the cottage for a weekend stay while visiting our son at The Citadel. Location was perfect—not too far away for going back and forth but nice to be out of the hustle of Charleston. Cozy cottage exactly as described. Great location and quiet/restful. Really look forward to coming back when we can spend more time enjoying Folly Beach.

Everything in the house you could need or want. The beds we're comfortable. House was clean and neat. The views was awesome.
Will we stay again , why that is a 💯 guarantee

Very relaxing trip. Great great location. Kids had a ball catching crabs and little fish from the dock. Great sunsets from porch and dock.
Such an easy walk across the house to an almost private beach. There is a park not too far of a drive to play pickle ball/tennis and basketball too.
The host lives near by and is so nice and very responsive.

Marshmellow Checks All The Boxes
This place was absolutely perfect for our family. We stayed 5 nights and celebrated 3 birthdays. It was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The decor was lovely and classic and not over the top beach themed. The decks and outdoor shower (with hot water) were great. We loved watching the sunsets and incoming thunderstorms over the backyard marsh view. There was plenty of parking and the distance to the public beach path was so short! We were charmed by Marshmellow and would definitely stay again.
