About this property

Enjoy Breathtaking Sunsets and Perfect Location! Panoramic Water and Marsh Views


Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Sunset 96, Mariners Cay is ideally situated in the far corner of the Mariner's Cay compound giving guests a panoramic view of the Folly River all the way to Kiawah Island. Nothing can compare to the colorful sunsets from the screened porch. Mariner's Cay is a gated community of residents and renters, which offers guests not only a swimming pool and tennis/pickleball courts but also is only minutes away from the beaches and walking distance to the funky town of Folly Beach. The privacy and lack of traffic is perfect for small children and teenagers.

The first "Wow" moment happens when you first open the door and see the amazing openness and views. The next "Wow" moment comes at sunset when one must hurry to the screened porch and allow him/herself to be awed.
As can be seen by the photos, the unit has a large, main bedroom with a king size bed opening onto the porch; and two additional bedrooms with queen beds. The open living area has a large flat screen smart HDTV, Bose system, and DVD player.

The property truly has a million dollar view yet is affordable to all. It's all about location. Owners have totally redecorated and updated. Entire building has had reconstructed porches and new siding. All updated in 2023!

We guarantee our cleaning service continues to follow all sanitation guidelines. We feel our new standards go above and beyond the recommended procedures in an effort to make our guests feel welcomed and safe. This home has a 5 star rating partially due to the outstanding cleanliness with all the many amenities. New linens and towels are changed regularly along with the interior freshly painted.

Enjoy the extended porch as you watch dolphin and sailboats or wading birds feeding in the marsh grasses. Enjoy the full water views to Kiawah and James Island from the living area, kitchen, and main bedroom. Located close to the beach but without the tourist and noise.

This island condominium will slow you down and make you relax. It is all you need to unwind. Nothing has been overlooked. Owners take pride in providing guests a home away from home with comfortable beds, plush towels, and many extras. Romantic for a couples retreat, family vacation, or girls/guys get away.

This is a perfect place for Citadel and College of Charleston parents to stay for visits and graduations. Visit Folly Beach and nearby Charleston for the many festivals and celebrations or visit the many historical sites and forts. The music is always wonderful in Folly Beach or check out The Pour House and Charleston Music Hall. You may also enjoy the nearby shopping in Charleston and outlets. This location has something for everyone.

Laid back is the best way to describe Folly Beach. Life on Folly Beach follows a fun, relaxing pace. During the winter, it is a small town at the end of I26. In the summer, it is a vacation destination. Locals proclaim, “We have the best waves, the best nightlife and the best beach atmosphere along the Charleston Coast...don’t tell anyone.”

Folly Beach is home to the famous Morris Lighthouse, colorful locals, sand, sun, and some of the best surf on the East Coast. Also home to many species of endangered wildlife. Folly is a nature lover’s dream complete with a maritime forest and dolphin filled waters. Due to the abundance of outdoor activities and water sports, this normally sleepy beach town comes to life during the warmer months, welcoming visitors and locals alike to water ski, kayak, fish, crab, and surf. Folly offers the best of both worlds with six miles of beach on one side and equally stunning river views on the other.

For many Folly is considered “Charleston’s beach” because it is located just 8 miles from the historic peninsula. Although it’s close to all the great things Charleston has to offer, once you cross the Folly River, you feel a world away. A dazzling combination of bohemian style and laidback hospitality make this quiet little beach town a true gem on the “Edge of America”.

Beautiful property!

The home we stayed at was incredibly clean and beautifully decorated! Gorgeous views and beautiful sunsets right from the comfortable balcony. Property owner was easy to communicate with, and reached out to see how our stay was after a few days, and if we needed anything, which was appreciated! Great location- easy to get to Charleston, and a short walk over the bridge to Folly beach. Would definitely recommend this property!

Relaxing Thanksgiving Break

We spent Thanksgiving week at Linda’s beautiful condo. It was clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. The screened in balcony was wonderful spot to watch the beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed the short walk over the bridge into the town of Folly Beach where we ate delicious meals and walked along the beach and fishing pier. The location of the condo was very quiet & peaceful, perfect for the relaxing vacation we were hoping for. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Linda for sharing your beautiful vacation home with us.

Perfect - wish we had stayed longer!

Linda’s place is lovely. Stunning views (safe from mosquitos from the screen!) and very comfortable stay. We just wish we’d booked more than 3 nights! The condo complex is nice too and we found the boats and dock on the last day! Linda was very communicative and wanted make our stay as lovely as possible. We enjoyed the character of Folly beach area and being able to walk to town! Although a shame the beach was being regenerated! Would recommend Linda’s for a quiet, peaceful stay in SC.

Fantastic Stay at Folly Beach!

We had an incredible time staying at this immaculate rental during our trip for The Citadel’s Parents Weekend. The house was beautiful, and the location was perfect—right next to everything we needed while still feeling peaceful and secure in the gated community. The highlight for us was the screened-in porch with its amazing view—such a relaxing spot to enjoy our mornings and evenings. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed, and the entire home was extremely comfortable and clean. The property owners were very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. We felt safe and well taken care of and can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Girls Trip Stay!

Linda was so amazing and help from booking to departure! She responded quickly and gave us all the details we need to make our stay amazing. The condo was decorated so cute! You could tell she invested time to make it homey and beautiful with all the nautical decor and personal touches. There was nothing we went without as she had everything we needed (even down to the beach chairs we all forgot)! The complex was super nice and secure. Being on the sound was so peaceful, but also only 5 minutes from the beach and restaurants and bars. The pool was super clean and peaceful. We really enjoyed having that option when we didn’t feel like making an entire beach trip. This will definitely be our Folly Beach stay from now on 😊

We loved having a place where we could relax for a few days after college move-in week. So much detail given to decor and updates in all rooms. Enjoyed family game night at the large table, coffee on the screened porch and proximity to town and beaches. Communication with owner was great, hope to return. Thank you!

Nosy property manager next door, beautiful comfortable condo, beach 10 min drive away difficult park

Be on your best behavior!!! The property manager next door has watchful eyes. On the last day of our trip, it rained which canceled our last beach afternoon. Instead, we relaxed and kids made their own fun playing with shells and finding crabs in the sand in front of the building. They ran up and down the stairs, excited to show us their prizes as we packed up leaving little sandy footprints. The property manager who lives next door contacted the owner, who then accused us of leaving a mess and staining towels. We reassured everyone and even sent pictures showing how clean everything was. The next day, as we were leaving we bumped into a candle and broke the glass surround. We apologized and sent a picture, happy to pay for a replacement. The following day, after the cleaning lady went through every one of the 100 decorations in property, we were sent 3 more pictures accusing us of breaking other things. It was a bad way to end an otherwise enjoyable family vacation.

Amazing summer vacation.

Linda was absolutely amazing to work with. She communicated so well and we were given a lot of information of what to expect, how to check-in & check-out. The property is very clean, spacious and comfortable. Of course our favorite spot was the screened-in porch. It was also very convinent to have a washer and dryer in the unit as well. Another thing that we loved was the location. Super close to the beaches, markets and other shops. Thank you Linda for your hospitality and a great experience.

Annual Family Beach Trip

This property is truly amazing! Love the proximity to Folly Beach and everything the area offered. We also enjoyed the swimming pool, which was not overcrowded at all and was very relaxing. The back porch is a wonderful way to be outside and just sit and relax and watch everything the marsh has to display. Truly enjoyed my morning coffee on the porch. We were very appreciative of the cleanliness of the unit and the attention to detail everywhere you turned. Linda, the host, was wonderful to communicate with. Hoping to return next year for another annual family beach getaway!!

Gorgeous Sunsets!!

We had a wedding weekend in Charleston and decided to make it a week trip to take in the city. It was an easy drive and we explored Folly Beach! The condo was clean and communication was excellent. We had 2 vehicles (max) and if it had been more crowded it could have been difficult parking the 2nd vehicle, but it wasn’t for us thankfully. The views outside were amazing and the porch is fully screened so we enjoyed having coffee out there in the mornings. There are 3 ceiling fans out on the porch as well!! The air conditioning works awesome and we kept it turned up more than we do at our house (higher temp) because it got so cold! 😊 That’s a good thing when it is so hot in the summer, so staying here is perfect for summer! Linda was so quick and helpful at answering questions when I had them! She was absolutely AMAZING! We will definitely stay here again when we return to Charleston/ Folly!! Diane K.

Perfectly perfect!

My husband and I have stayed on Folly for 20 years, sometimes in houses and other times in condominiums. By far, our favorite views are of the marsh and sunsets, which led us to Mariner's Cay. 96 MC is the most welcoming and beautifully appointed home we have rented. April weather gave us cool nights and warm days. Charleston is a short drive away. What's not to love?!

The pictures do not lie! Everything was just as it appears and so unbelievably comfortable. We loved sitting out on the screened in porch and could be found there most afternoons. Our family of four all had enough space to spread out but also enjoyed the time hanging out together in the living room or on the porch.

About the host

From East Tennessee...Johnson City, TN

Why they chose this property

We spent 15 years exploring where to purchase a vacation home that may some day become our retirement home. We purchased our vacation home in 2013. Since then we continue make updates and improvements. New linens and towels are continuously replaced for our guests.

Folly Beach offers the location to 'check all our boxes' ...gorgeous beach, boating, Charleston history and shopping. Tourist love it! Yet Folly is a quiet, quaint bohemian town where locally owned resturants and great music venues are found on every corner and side street!

Every season offers festivals and celebrations in Folly and Charleston. From January to December we find plenty to do!! Check out the calendar of events on line.

Folly is located only 5 hours from our home in TN so we can visit often!! But choosing this condo to buy was all about falling in love with the views!!!

What makes this property unique

The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Definitely the spectacular views and quiet porch!
9 mile drive into historical Charleston!

We enjoy cooking seafood while we are in Folly and have found that Crosby's Seafood (10 minutes down the road) has the best fresh seafood to buy. Harris Teeter is just minutes away) has affordable lobster and crab legs that they will cook ahead for you to pick up and take to the condo for dinner!

Children of all ages love the swimming pool which is the largest pool on Folly. Very clean with convenient bathrooms. They also may love to go to the Water Park on James Island, the climbing ropes course or to the children's attractions in Charleston.

We enjoy driving over to the Mt. Pleasant/Sullivan's Island area (less than 20 minutes away) to visit Ft. Moultrie. You may enjoy eating at one of the many great restaurants on Shem's Creek while watching the boats go by.

Our favorite place to be on the beach is near the Pier. There are clean bathrooms, nice restaurants, an outdoor bar at Tides hotel, life guards, beach chairs and jet skis to rent, etc.

At the condo, we have an owner's dock where you might like to meet people while sitting in the evening watching for the dolphins to swim by. You can also leave crab traps hanging off this dock for later harvest! There is an easy launch area for kayaks and canoes for paddling around the river and nearby creeks. You may bring your own or rent knee boards or windsail vessels. If you bring your boat just let me know ahead and we can arrange a place to park the trailer. You can also find boat rentals in our notebook of information at the condo.

Of course you could enjoy riding your bikes or rent for the week. we love to ride to the beach, on the beach and in the neighborhoods on the island.

Whatever you do...don't miss the lighthouse walk on the nature beach at the end of Folly Beach. And of course save time to RELAX on our porch!!!
