About this property

Panoramic View, Awesome Sunset - 3BR Condo on Folly River

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 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 a 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


Keywords: Mariners Cay and Raquet Club, gated community with pool and tennis courts, children friendly, last right turn before going over bridge into town of Folly Beach

What they promised about sunset was true!

In addition to superb sunsets, the enclosed balcony overlooks a huge expanse of tidal salt-marsh. All day long the tide is either quietly coming in or quietly going out. The view is different every time you look out. It is a terrific way to observe nature.

Beyond relaxing

My daughter and I had a great time at the condo. The condo had everything you could possibly need, including many pots/pans/dishes in the kitchen. The only thing we needed to buy was groceries. We were looking for a relaxing vacation & boy did we get it! Folly Beach was so nice & the view and sunsets from the condo back porch were beautiful! We even saw dolphins from the porch. We will definitely be back.

Folly Beach

We had a lovely stay. The unit is spacious and well equipped with everything you could need. The unit is clean and the owners were great at communicating with us. It is a short walk into Folly Beach, if you do not want to drive. This is our second time staying in this unit and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Location & Amenities

Our stay at Mariners Cay in Folly Beach, SC, was absolutely phenomenal. The views from both inside the unit and on the screened-in wrap-around porch were breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing vacation. The condo's location was ideal: close enough to access everything with ease but far enough from the busier, louder areas to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. We drove into Charleston daily for dinner, just a convenient 25-minute drive away. Cru Cafe in Charleston quickly became a favorite, and Edison James Island was an excellent choice for local dining. The pool at Mariners Cay was pristine, with ample seating and clean restrooms nearby, so there was no need to trek back to the condo. The bedrooms were very comfortable, each equipped with a TV, ensuring everyone had their own space to unwind. The entire unit was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for the week. Susan, the property manager, was just a phone call away for any questions or assistance. Although we didn't require any help, she was very responsive and helpful when we had a quick question about gate access. A word of advice for the area: adhere to the speed limits. We saw numerous cars pulled over for speeding, so it's best to drive carefully. We can't wait to rebook this unit and visit Folly Beach again. Our experience at Mariners Cay was truly unforgettable.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Merrill’s beautiful place and as in the previous year, it did not disappoint. The space is perfect for our small family and the proximity to James Island is ideal. The views also can’t be beat. We will definitely be back again!

Spectacular wraparound porch view

Amazing view of water and wildlife. We saw many dolphins and birds every day. The condo is very spacious and the elevator is a must. You are just minutes to the beach, food, and shopping. And you don’t have to fight all of the Charleston traffic to get to Folly.

Disappointing and dirty but, great views

While the location and views are great, the unit itself was extremely outdated and needs a serious deep cleaning. The interior of the unit has not been maintained well. The furniture was old and the mattresses were worn out, the flooring needs to be replaced. During our stay, the entry gate to the community was changed but, we were not notified. There was an insufficient supply of toilet paper and paper towels even for a short stay. All of these factors made a place with great potential very disappointing.

Girl’s weekend

My sisters and I had an amazing stay at this lovely condo. We spent our mornings and evenings out on the screened porch watching the birds and dolphins. What a delight. There was quite a bit of traffic into Folly Beach on the weekends but this unit is within walking distance to everything. Don’t miss breakfast at The Lost Dog cafe. We did a boat tour and saw 15 dolphins. Definitely a highlight of the trip. The condo was the perfect size for our group of 5 women. Will definitely be back!!

That sunset!!!

Loved it! Wish we could go back once a month! The proximity to Folly Beach is perfect, the space between each bedroom was appreciated and the sunsets were unbeatable! We saw dolphins fishing and it was enjoyable to see the tides change the landscape from a low marsh with birds to water at a higher ground! We celebrated Thanksgiving here and only had to buy a big pan for basting the turkey—but they literally had everything else and we made a lot of side dishes! Fully stocked with cooking needs. If you are hot sleepers—be sure to bring light sleep clothes as only one bedroom has a ceiling fan. They have additional fans to plug in—just important to know from one warm sleeper to another. OTHERWISE, it’s PERFECT!

It was so peaceful to sit on the screened in porch and listen to the waves, and watch the birds and dolphins. The location was perfect. It was close to the busy beach town of Folly and an easy drive to downtown Charleston. Definitely would recommend. Communicating with host/manager was so easy and prompt.

We stayed in a different unit at Mariner's Cay in years past when visiting Folly Beach and while it was a nice space, we never quite felt at home. When we arrived at Lois's unit, we immediately felt welcomed and were in awe of the beautiful view. It was a great layout for myself, husband and our two little kids. We will most definitely be back!
