About the Owners:
Owners, Rad and Joyce Finch, from Iowa have six adult children and 12 grandkids ages 1 year to age 19. Joyce's annual Folly Beach tradition began in July 1968. 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!
