Spacious Folly Beach Retreat w/ Multi-Level Decks & Water Views

  • Summary:

    Marsh Mellow



    The Space:

    Wake up to ocean sunrises, unwind with marsh sunsets, and live the true Folly Beach lifestyle at this elevated coastal retreat located directly across the street from beach access.



    Set along a scenic tidal creek on East Ashley Avenue, this beautifully updated two-story Folly Beach vacation home offers rare dual water views - the Atlantic Ocean out front and sweeping marsh, river, and Morris Island Lighthouse views behind.



    Designed for effortless indoor–outdoor living, the home features multiple decks, balconies, and porches on both the front and rear - perfect for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, or evening cocktails as sea breezes roll in. Whether you’re watching waves crash or birds glide over the marsh, every level of the home invites you to slow down and soak it all in.

    Inside, the open-concept main level is bright, spacious, and ideal for gathering. The fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, all framed by large windows showcasing water views. You’ll find three bedrooms on the main level, including a primary suite with a king bed and private bath, plus two queen bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. Ideal for families or groups traveling together.



    Upstairs, two additional king bedroom suites each feature private bathrooms and their own balconies, offering peaceful retreats with elevated views of either the ocean or the marsh. In total, three of the five bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms, making this home especially comfortable for multi-generational stays or adult groups.

    The home has been thoughtfully remodeled with new furniture, updated appliances, refreshed bathrooms, fresh paint, and new beds and bedding, blending coastal comfort with modern convenience. Guests enjoy fast WiFi, Smart TVs, cable, and plenty of space to relax after a day at the beach.



    Step outside and you’re moments from the sand - beach access is directly across the street, making it easy to come and go throughout the day. When you’re ready to explore, Center Street’s restaurants, bars, shops, and live music are just a short drive away, while historic Downtown Charleston, known for its dining, culture, and shopping, is only about 15 miles from your door.



    Guests consistently rave about the incredible views, unbeatable beach access, spacious layout, and unforgettable sunsets over the marsh. From the porches to the proximity, this home delivers everything people love about Folly Beach.



    If you’re looking for a spacious Folly Beach home with water views, multiple decks, and direct beach access, this is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Bachelorette trip

The house was extremely clean, had everything we need and was the perfect location. I thought we were right on the beach but it was across the street so it was easily accessible . Wonderful neighborhood. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay at a great location

We Very much enjoyed our stay. Views were nice, hone has been very nicely done. The older kitchen needs a few cabinet tweaks but everything is there and works well. Love the decks and gathering spaces to enjoy the breeze and views. Right across from beach access. Only negatives would be deck needs attention, nails are one of those constant things, be sure kids have sturdy bottom shoes on and the lawn has been reseeded so no current yard play area.

The kitchen setup was great. All the amenities were met. Lot's of games and activities for the kiddos. We loved the dock to watch the tiny crabs and to catch the beautiful sunsets. All the rooms were super clean. The floors were a bit sandy and squishy in the upstairs bedrooms. Not sure if you have water damage. Black mold is in the kitchen and around some vents. I'm sure it's hard to keep up with moisture and elements from the ocean. We had a beautiful family getaway Thank you

This property has awesome potential. Exceptional location (beautiful marsh right behind with amazing views, and a short walk right across the street to the beach.) Unfortunately, it is not well cared for. Inside, it is a nice place - but needs some TLC (doors that didn't close...locks that didn't lock, etc.) and good cleaning (the floors were filthy!) Day one, downstairs AC didn't. Day two, upstairs went out. Management company repsonded in both cases and repaired. Outside was very disappointing. Most pieces of outdoor furniture were rusted or broken, and the grounds were amazingly junky and unkempt. (Pics provided.) Management company said they would come out and clean up, but they didn't. I hate to give a poor review, but this place needs attention. I can't recommend it in current state, which is a shame. Wouldn't take much work to make this place great.

Location location location

Location to the ocean, location to the beach access, location out of the crowds, location to the beautiful living marsh. First time in Folly and it won’t be our last. House met the needs of our group of 10! Kitchen pretty stocked with gear/supplies. The water Filter pitcher in fridge was lovely to use! The ice maker in fridge had a hard time keeping up with our ice demand so we picked up a couple bags and problem solved. Thanks for the great stay.

Beautiful location

Location and views were great. I felt though that the house was more run down than I had expected. Parts felt like an old run-down cottage with drawers and cabinets not working. Also, the floors were slanted as the house had definitely settled. Plus, the outdoor deck could use help as nails are popping and some boards are loose. The place seems structurely sound and the views are great. Just not sure on the price and description.

Perfect Location

Such a perfect location and the house was perfect! Clean and plenty of space for all 10 of us. My only issue was the house was not ready on time. Check in is at 4pm. The cleaning crew was still there until 4:30pm. The cleaning lady apologized and explained to me the last guy who stayed there did not leave at his 10am check out like he was supposed to instead he told her to work around him cause he was working. Which was an inconvenience considering we drove 10 hours and were exhausted and ready to settle in.

Beautiful home, Great location, but needs repairs

The home has a great location and half of it is updated. Two of the bathrooms are very old and so is all the furniture in all the bedrooms. The upstairs porches are dangerous and sagging and wood is soft. Upstairs and downstairs back porches leak water into the back of the house. Floors are wet inside when it rains. The upstairs airconditioning is non functional. We called for 5 days. Someone came out on day 3 but didn't fix it. We contacted Vacasa again and they didn't send anyone out to fix it. The upstairs was over 80 degrees at night. We had seniors staying with us and we were all so hot and couldn't sleep. If it weren't for these issues we would be back again.

The location of Marsh Mellow is excellent. Having beautiful views of the sunset over the marsh and also having the beach access just across the street is awesome! The Morris Island Lighthouse is also a quick walk away. Perhaps the downstairs bathroom could use some updating but all in all, it’s a great house. We enjoyed our stay immensely!
