Wonderful Beach Stay
This property was PERFECT for my stay with my best friend to enjoy our first South Carolina trip. Our condo faced the ocean and our steps led down to the pool area and then on to the sand and the beach. We couldnt have asked for a better location or access to the beach. The condo was clean and comfortable. Check in and out was easy. We will be back!!

Great stay!
We had a great stay here in early October. The unit was very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the decor was very beachy and nice. The property is well kept and the convenience of the door on the back porch near the pool was unbeatable! Property management was very helpful and checked in with me a couple of times during our stay to ensure everything was going well. The Wild Dunes area overall is great, there are walking paths throughout which are great for a stroll or bike ride. 10/10 would recommend staying here, we will be back!

Family Vaca
I stayed at this property with my husband and 2 adult sons. Super easy check in and very clean when we arrived. We loved the ground level access to the pool and beach. Very convenient but because of it being a 1st floor unit, it was loud. We could hear our upstairs neighbors walking around. The A/C was on a schedule and would change in the evening when we were sleeping and it was too hot. It was May but still hot and we had a hard time sleeping because of it. The condo was well appointed with all kitchen supplies as well as beach chairs so dont rent chairs you will not need them. Overall great experience and real close to two golf courses that we enjoyed.

Perfect Family Getaway
We had a wonderful experience, from start to finish. The condo was in a great location, just steps away from the pool and beach. It was very clean, nicely updated, and was a great size for our family of 5. We would definitely rent here again when visiting Isle of Palm in the future.

Condo in a quiet area of a resort offering many activities
The location was ideal for us. This property is on first floor near pool and beach. The distance from the main inns and activities was a pleasant bike ride but would be a pretty long walk. The washer/dryer was really nice to have. Comfortable beds.

This is a beautiful clean condo with a great location. We traveled with our two boys who are in their early 20’s. The second bedroom with its own bathroom was perfect for them. We loved the 1st floor location with screen porch access to the pool and beach. Would stay again!
