Welcome to Mermaid Memories on Folly Beach! This fantastic 3 bedroom 3 bath oceanfront beach home has just been completely renovated. Located on Folly's private West end of the island is the perfect spot for the family summer vacation or long weekend getaway. Nature is abound at this end of the island with dolphin "beaching" encounters as they chase their prey at the county park as well as the chance to witness nesting loggerhead turtles first hand. The owners have spared no expense in turning the home into a upgraded modern beach home while preserving the feel of a classic beach cottage. Ocean views from almost every room in the house will provide the perfect backdrop for a perfect vacation.
Upon entering the home you will appreciate the open floor plan with ocean views around every corner. The kitchen includes all of the modern conveniences of home and has been stocked with all of the amenities even the most discerning family chef would require including Ninja blender, panini maker, waffle maker and Keurig coffee maker!

The dining room includes large dining table for the family to gather after a long day on the beach as well as a kids table. Living room features large flat-screen TV for the rare rainy day and large comfy couches to relax on after a long day in the sun.
The oceanfront sunroom is the favorite room in the house and is only separate from the living area by large sliding glass doors. The sunroom has fantastic ocean views and includes 2 twin day beds perfect for a late afternoon nap or spot to catch up on your favorite book. The sunroom provides oceanfront porch access where 2 large palm trees provide natural shade that remind you why you came on vacation in the first place. Numerous outdoor seating options provided on the oceanfront deck will allow everyone to have the best seat in the house for the stunning Folly sunrises and sunsets over the Atlantic. Oceanfront deck connects to the boardwalk, leading you straight onto the beach.

Only the year of Hurricane Hugo kept her away. Purchasing this special home in 2015 made it possible to share the Folly experience and joy with many other families. We hope our guests feel like part of our family every time they stay in Mermaid Memories at our favorite place - Folly Beach! We are indeed thankful and blessed!
