(4/5 stars) It was just what we needed in. The price was great. Unfortunately, the beach was tight with the high tide. It was also hard to deal with the beach chairs and other items since there was no place to really put them except in the condo. Still it was a very nice place and the pool was great. - Anonymous Posted on 6/22/2026 ### Nice (4/5 stars) We enjoyed where we stayed at. It was clean and accessible to the beach was nice. Some pictures on site were not there like the lookout area on the walk way like a picture we saw. That was a bummer. But overall not bad. Still like our previous places we stayed at better - Anonymous Posted on 6/7/2026 ### Shipwatch Wild Dunes is a great location (5/5 stars) This is our 2nd stay at Shipwatch Wild Dunes. Our unit was clean, well appointed with comfortable beds and furniture and a nice view of the dunes, beach and ocean. For a couple or small family Shipwatch is a great choice. We'll be back. - Anonymous Posted on 5/31/2026 ### Watch the whitecaps from a warm setting. (4/5 stars) Great view from the property saved a very cool (cold) week. - Anonymous Posted on 3/30/2026 ### Great location at reasonable price. (4/5 stars) Great location and layout. Large deck. TV situation was not what was explained by office and confusing. - Anonymous Posted on 3/9/2026 ### Shipwatch condos (4/5 stars) Shipwatch condos - have stayed in various units over 4 years. Nice to have elevator. Older complex could use a little updating. always clean. Comfortable space. Good location. Surfside realty great to work with. I have used them 15 years locally owned. - Anonymous Posted on 1/11/2026 ### Great Condo with OceanView (5/5 stars) The condo was perfect for us. Great view of the ocean and well equipped. Comfortable king bed. Nicely remodeled with granite countertops. We enjoyed having a large TV with cable.will definitely stay here again. - Anonymous Posted on 1/1/2026 ### Shipwatch A 203 (5/5 stars) Very relaxing. - Anonymous Posted on 9/27/2025 ### Great Condo (4/5 stars) Condo was clean and roomy. Furniture could use an update. Ocean view was great! - Anonymous Posted on 8/4/2025 ### Condo was comfortable but was not clean (3/5 stars) This condo is nice but a little dated with some maintenance issues, like doors peeling and rusting. Some things I noted while staying: Coffee pot had a small hole in the bottom, and molded coffee grounds left in it, mold covering shower head in master bedroom, washing machine full of mold and mildew, did not receive pool fobs with welcome packet and had to call to get them, unable to connect to internet. When I could get ahold of someone, they were efficient to respond (Internet, coffee pot, pool fobs). I found dirty clothes between the bed and night stand. Also, I have never stayed at a beach side condo that didn't provide beach towels for the guests. I cleaned all the mold with bleach myself and after that, the condo was comfortable. I probably would not stay here again. - Anonymous Posted on 6/3/2025 ### Shipwatch A 203 (5/5 stars) Beautifully decorated and clean. We loved the pool and spent a lot of time there. The inside smell, when we first got there, was not good. It cleared up with time. Maybe the unit had not been rented during the weeks prior. - Anonymous Posted on 5/1/2025 ### Beautiful Oceanfront Condo (5/5 stars) Last minute trip to IOP for quick vacation. Condo was in beautiful condition with everything a couple or family would want. Island Realty made check-in and out a breeze. Wonderful time and would book with IR again. - Anonymous Posted on 8/31/2024 ### A Perfect Stay (5/5 stars) Our accommodations were more than we expected. The view of the beach was awesome, and the condo was well appointed, maintained and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Wild Dunes. - Anonymous Posted on 4/11/2024 ### Shipwatch A 203 (5/5 stars) there were no pot holders in the unit. Also the coffee pot was not there for the coffee machine. - Anonymous Posted on 11/27/2023 ### Wonderful Vacation!! (5/5 stars) Wonderful condo to stay in!! Excellent beds!! Even the twin beds were firm and adult sleepable - Anonymous Posted on 9/26/2023 ### Great location (5/5 stars) Perfect location with a fabulous view of the ocean! Easy access to the pool and the beach. - Anonymous Posted on 5/17/2023 ### Perfect Week (5/5 stars) Great condo, perfect view. Quick walk to a lovely beach. We have been coming here since 1981 and this is one of my favorite condos I’ve stayed in- we booked next year while still there. Can’t wait! - Anonymous Posted on 10/5/2022 ### Spring getaway (4/5 stars) Very nice condo with a lovely beach view. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Would have appreciated some beach chairs as other rentals I have stayed at had them available. It would also be nice to have an explanation of the television remotes since they are often set up differently. Should also note that their is a step up into the MB shower and the height is low. - Anonymous Posted on 5/21/2022 ### Another beautiful vacation in South Carolina (5/5 stars) We enjoyed this perfect location with a beautiful and peaceful view of the beach.We already have reserved another week in June in the same complex. - Anonymous Posted on 2/14/2022 ### Great location! (5/5 stars) We loved our stay here. The condo was super clean and the location was amazing. Lockbox check in was easy and we had a great time! - Anonymous Posted on 9/27/2021 ### Dirty (3/5 stars) Great location, great beach access. Absolutely filthy condo. Sticky greasy floors - Anonymous Posted on 9/12/2021 ### Great condo, great time (5/5 stars) We again had a blast in this condo. Nice and clean, great view of the beach and close walk. We will be back next year. - Anonymous Posted on 8/30/2021 ### Good apt in very nice spot, but poor wifi (3/5 stars) Overall a nice and comfortable apt, with a great view of the beach and a nice balcony. Two issues which should be addressed: first the twin beds in the small bedroom may work for kids but were really too small and uncomfortable for our 2 adults sons. Second, the wifi is terrible, 7 mbps which is ridiculous, and made our stay much less pleasant than it could have been, and our multiple requests to address it were largely ignored. - Anonymous Posted on 1/18/2021 ### Nice Condo (4/5 stars) This condo is clean and well situated. Due to the trees and being on the second floor, the view is limited. Master bed is comfortable. Pillows could use refreshing and like every vacation rental ever, the kitchen supplies are poor. Overall, we had a nice stay and were generally pleased with the condo. - Anonymous Posted on 12/22/2020 ### Lovely condo for couple/small family (5/5 stars) Lovely condo with "between trees" view of ocean. The condo was nicely furnished, updated and with very comfortable king bed. Kitchen had everything I needed and tele's were new and working well. Great location overall, especially if you like being inside Wild Dunes. - Anonymous Posted on 11/26/2020 ### Much Needed Getaway (5/5 stars) We had a really great time despite the pandemic. My family has been coming to Isle of Palms since 1981, and this unit was comfortable, has a lovely view and all you need for a great week. We booked the same unit again for next year within a couple days of leaving. - Anonymous Posted on 10/17/2020 ### Rest & Relaxation �� (5/5 stars) Unit was clean, decorated nicely, and the view of the ocean was good.Had gurgling & chirping noise in toilet in master bedroom but rental company Had a plumber repair. It was exactly what we needed to enjoy IOP. - Anonymous Posted on 10/3/2020 ### Shipwatch A 203 (5/5 stars) Beautiful Wild Dunes Condo in Shipwatch with Ocean Views - Anonymous Posted on 8/3/2020 ### Great place for the money (5/5 stars) Booked this condo about 7 weeks before arrival and feel like it was a great deal.PROS: great location (do not stay anywhere except Wild Dunes if coming to IOP)Great ocean view. Kitchen well-stocked. Master bathroom quite spacious. Nicely furnished, but a bit worn. CONS: internet sucks!! If you are planning on doing any work while here, forget it. Condo initial cleaning was a bit hit or miss...stained sheets in master, left empty water bottles, left a used rag...not what you want to see during Covid.Definitely rent or bring bikes while here, there’s trails everywhere. My son golfed at The Harbor and loved it. Pool was nice. All in all, a great vacation. I would return here. - Anonymous Posted on 6/29/2020 ### Great Rental - location was perfect (4/5 stars) The Condo was very clean and nicely appointed. The ocean view from the deck was a huge plus and the elevator great for moving luggage in and out. Proximity to Isle of Palms and Charleston - perfect!We did have a few issues upon check in with the access code to enter the unit. A call to the technican solved the issue pretty quickly. We also had issues accessing the wi-fi and it did take about 1.5 days to gain access however we did finally get the correct "network" and password information. - Anonymous Posted on 3/18/2020
