I would stay again. Perfect 3 bedroom condo near Folly Beach. Its walking distance to the beach but not super close because it's over the bridge. We weren't visiting the beach so it was perfect for us. The condo was clean and I didnt really have any issues except for trying to run dishwasher. We loved sitting on porch. Its on 2nd floor so if steps are a issue for you then wouldn't recommend. But for us, it was perfect.
We have stayed at Mariners Cay dozens of times and this is one of the nicer units. We like being right on the Folly River so we can see the dolphin play and we were welcomed within the first 15 minutes by dolphin just below the sunroom. This unit is nearer to the entrance so the walk across the bridge into town is shorter. Unit was very clean and presented well. TV in every room. A couple of updates needed (bathrooms, dishwasher buttons were worn and difficult to turn on). Overall, we were pleased with this unit and would definitely stay again.

Good location
Close to the beach but a nice porch overlooking the water
We enjoyed our stay in Folly Beach. The website description was inaccurate but has since been corrected and we received some compensation for the discrepancy. The condo was within walking distance to Folly Beach and we loved watching the dolphins every morning from the screened porch!!
It couldn’t have been better! The location drew us but this property’s layout, cleanliness and accommodating details made our stay top notch and favorably memorable. Questions were addressed immediately and correctly. Very thankful we stayed on this property!
This location was perfect for getting around Charleston. We were never farther than 30 minutes from everything. You could easily bike to the beach. The patio view of the river was pleasant and we saw dolphins everyday we were there.The kitchen was small but accommodating to cook family meals. Overall, it was clean and the process was easy. We would come here again.

Thank you, Michelle, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. Pantry items like oils and spices are not usually stored in the home for sanitary purposes. We encourage you to bring any food-related items you may need during your visit. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
We were very happy with the experience. There were 4 beds, all very comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra blankets.We were within walking distance of Folly Beach, which was actually much easier than driving because of the lack of parking at the beach (or lack of free parking). The view from the porch was lovely! It was a very quiet location (third floor, end unit). I would add that some kitchen equipment could stand to be updates (i.e. a skillet with a firm handle, some more plates). We would 100% stay here again!
Fantastic location on the water, very clean and comfortable. Easy in and out and convenient enough to get to Charleston. Check-in and check-out was well-executed. Only downside was that the dishwasher didn't work, but that was a minor inconvenience.

Please know that your feedback is essential, and we have passed your comments along to our local manager, who will work with the homeowner to make any updates.

Great place for a home base not right on the beach island which means better parking and less traffic.

Thank you for providing us with this valuable feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the condition of the home and the issues with the air conditioning, as well as missing essentials like soap and lightbulbs, have impacted your stay. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests. We have notified our local team about these matters so they can address them as quickly as possible. We confirmed with our team that the air conditioner has been fixed. We thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve our guests' experiences. We hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
Kitchen and bath rooms need updating. Furniture not exceptionally comfortable. Main tv did not work, did receive small reimbursement for that. Kitchen needs overhaul, including amenities in the kitchen. Location decent, not too far from Folly. Nice views of river...would prefer screened in porch instead of sun room, with windows that barely open, to enjoy the breeze.

Comfortable, relaxing along with plenty to do. The location is perfect for those who love the beach and sightseeing. When not doing either you can relax on the enclosed porch watching the dolphins play and enjoying the beautiful pool area. Plenty of space for everyone. Great for all ages.
Were in Charleston for a wedding. Chose this location so we can be close to there, but still by the beach. So pleased with this condo. Beautiful inside and out, very close to Folly Beach and ocean...yet very close to downtown Charleston. Loved seeing the dolphins in the mornings too. Highly recommend and definitely want to come back.
