It has a nice ocean view. Summerhouse is a very nice complex. - Anonymous Posted on 9/15/2026 ### Amazing Views - Wonderful Stay (4/5 stars) You will love the views from this wonderful condo. The beds and furniture was comfortable and Isle of Palms and Wild Dunes is just a magical place! - Anonymous Posted on 8/31/2026 ### Summer House 501 (5/5 stars) Summer House 501 is a great vacation rental. We had everything we needed. The condo is tastefully furnished. The view is gorgeous! Check in and out was easy and efficient! Our only complaint was the cleanliness of the unit when we checked in. It seemed as if the prior cleaning was hit or miss. The kitchen trash can liner was put in over old food in the bottom of the trashcan and the bathroom faucets and sinks looked like they had not been wiped/cleaned. Once we took care of these things, we had no complaints! - Anonymous Posted on 7/27/2026 ### Great stay! (5/5 stars) We had a wonderful stay at Summer House 501. As soon as you step off the elevator, there are beach views to be enjoyed. The unit was spacious, clean, and great ocean scenery! We started every morning with coffee on the balcony, watching the sun rise (although you could watch it right from the Master bed!). Great beach walking, nice pool set up on cooler, windy days. Would stay here again! - Anonymous Posted on 5/4/2026 ### Excellent (5/5 stars) Condo was super clean with amazing views. Great location as well. - Anonymous Posted on 5/4/2026 ### Enjoyable Experience (5/5 stars) We spent our spring break staying in this condo and my family enjoyed it! The location was great, the beach wasnt overcrowded, and the rooms were nice and spacious. - Anonymous Posted on 4/12/2026 ### Great Condo! (5/5 stars) Condo is so nice and plenty of room. Great ocean view!Island Realty is awesome...so helpful and everyone is so friendly! - Anonymous Posted on 3/23/2026 ### Just what we needed! (5/5 stars) Summer House was great! Great location and beautiful and well equipped. Views were beautiful. Nice pool. The beaches have changed and at high tide there was very little beach. So sad the erosion that has occurred. - Anonymous Posted on 11/3/2025 ### Perfect Location (5/5 stars) Well appointed rooms, fantastic views , and easy access to the beach. - Anonymous Posted on 11/2/2025 ### Spectacular Views!!!!! (5/5 stars) 501 Summer House is a luxurious rental with exemplary views of the ocean. You can see both ends of the island with gorgeous views of the ocean from the many windows and the balcony. You can see the beautiful sunrise from the balcony. Check in at Island Realty is a breeze and Summer House has luggage carts to make moving in easy.The condo is tastefully furnished and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. The living room has comfortable furniture and there are 2 eating areas. Two bedrooms have sliding doors to the balcony, but one does not. This is good because you would not want a young child to be able to open the door to the balcony from his bedroom.** The only caveat is that you can not sit on the beach all day. Around high tide there is no beach. This is about 3 hours. The water comes to the dunes, and you aren't supposed to sit on the dunes because they protect from erosion. This is the case for all the rentals at this end of the island.However, the condo does have a nice pool. Also there is a clean restroom in the pool area. - Anonymous Posted on 9/16/2025 ### Perfect Isle of Palms Rental (5/5 stars) Island Realty was a pleasure to deal with from my first phone call to the easy check in. We had no problems during our stay. The unit was as advertised -clean, well equipped with extraordinary views. The building and grounds were well maintained. The pool and path to the beach were just steps away. Our experience could not have been better. - Anonymous Posted on 9/6/2025 ### Exceeded my Expectations (4/5 stars) The condo exceeded my expectations! The view was spectacular! I will definitely stay here again. - Anonymous Posted on 8/3/2025 ### Great stay at Summerhouse 501!!! Thank you, owners! (5/5 stars) Excellent! Check batteries in fan remotes. Great kitchen, cookware. Spotless. - Anonymous Posted on 5/18/2025 ### Enjoyed our stay at Summerhouse (5/5 stars) The condo has a beautiful view of the ocean. The inside is spacious with a bathroom for each bedroom and a HUGE tv in the main room. We’re football fans and enjoyed watching the games. The hotel down the street has lots of shopping and restaurants. We didn’t realize this until our last day. It’s like a whole little city, definitely check it out! Would stay here again! - Anonymous Posted on 11/5/2024 ### Fall Getaway (5/5 stars) Great condo! Enjoyed the trip very much. Would stay in this condo again. The queen bedroom needs a hairdryer. - Anonymous Posted on 10/20/2024 ### DJ Asheville (5/5 stars) This is a great clean well kept new furniture unitI hated to leave / great porch and ocean views Beds great kitchen nice I’d love to come backAnd IR staff wonderful especially Jen and Cosy I’ll definitely rent this again / just need hair dryer in second bedroom would be nice : wow the hot water comes on quick / nice / everything - Anonymous Posted on 10/11/2024 ### Incredible ocean views from windows and balcony (5/5 stars) Our family loved this condo. The views from the windows and balcony were spectacular. If you wake up early, you can see the sun rise from the balcony. In fact, you can lounge in bed and see the sunrise from one of the three sliding glass doors. The bedroom with 2 beds does not have a door to the balcony, which makes it good for kids because you probably don't want small kids to be able to go on the balcony without your knowledge.Another great feature is that there are two clean restrooms off the Summer House pool. So if you are enjoying a beach day, you can use the restroom without going back to your condo. You are given a code to the pool gate.Check in with Island Realty is easy as it is in a convenient location you pass when driving into Wild Dunes. Moving into the condo is also easy as there are luggage carts by the elevator.The condo itself is tastefully decorated with comfortable seating in the living room. We appreciated the leather seating as it is comfortable and cleaner than cloth seating. The beds were comfortable and the sheets and towels were high quality.The kitchen is large and there is plenty of room for a couple of people to cook. While we were on vacation, we enjoyed breakfast at Acme Cantina; don't leave without trying their shrimp and grits! The SC Aquarium in Charleston was just wonderful. - Anonymous Posted on 9/23/2024 ### 501SummWD (5/5 stars) I hadn't been to the beach in 16 years and I'm so thankful I chose this property! The condo is beautiful and Island Realty was awesome to deal with! Our vacation was wonderful. Peaceful, relaxing and fun. We all enjoyed every minute. - Anonymous Posted on 7/19/2024 ### Just what we needed (5/5 stars) The condo was wonderful!!!! - Anonymous Posted on 6/23/2024 ### August 2023 (5/5 stars) Family vacation. Week at Summer House. Great weather, condo, food and relaxing time. Room was clean, well located, nicely decorated, equipped kitchen and washer/dryer were easy. Nice tvs. Booking was easy and friendly as always. Nice pool, but some confusion about when it was open. Showers coming off the beach and pool restrooms were nice. - Anonymous Posted on 8/7/2023 ### Great vacation (5/5 stars) Condo was so nice...beautiful view! - Anonymous Posted on 5/12/2023 ### Great Condo! (5/5 stars) Had a wonderful week with family. Location was great and we enjoyed our stay! - Anonymous Posted on 10/10/2022 ### Overall Pleasant Stay (5/5 stars) Easy check-in, easy keypad entry, wi-fi worked great. The condo was very well appointed and clean. The highlight was the spectacular view from the balcony. The kitchen dishware, glasses, utensils and cooking pots and pans were clean as well as the refrigerator. Everything worked - no malfunctions. Move-in was a bit challenging - the custodian had to get us a cart from the other unit and it was wobbly and unstable. I have never experienced a comfortable bed in any of the condos we have rented from Island Realty over the years, including this one. Access to the beach and to the swimming pool is great. Despite our stay being over the Labor Day weekend, the beaches were not crowded and were beautiful. Summerhouse overall is pleasant and we would stay there again. - Anonymous Posted on 9/24/2022 ### Summer House 501 (5/5 stars) This is definately one of the best equipped and maintained units on the entire island. The sunrise views are outstanding. Even the pillows in the master are king size. The only thing missing is a clock in the bedrooms. I have already reserved it for next year (2023) to celebrate our 61st wedding anniversary. - Anonymous Posted on 9/24/2022 ### Summer House (5/5 stars) Lovely property with a fantastic view. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Loved that the balcony overlooking the ocean was very private. Would definitely stay there again. - Anonymous Posted on 8/8/2022 ### Short Stay (5/5 stars) Good - Anonymous Posted on 6/4/2022 ### Great condo!!

(5/5 stars) This is a wonderfully laid out accommodation. Two bedrooms have ocean views and access to the front porch. The views are stunning! Plenty of room for the 5 of us-- 3 bathrooms and a breakfast nook and dining table. The elevator, walk-in shower and ocean facing front porch made it perfect for my 92 year old mother. Everything we needed was there! - Anonymous Posted on 11/17/2021 ### October at Wild Dunes (5/5 stars) The week was absolutely fabulous! This is the 4th time we have stayed in Summerhouse 501....we love the condo and are thrilled the owners replaced the sofas and other furniture— even the fans....We love cooking and eating in at night and the kitchen is very well equipped. It is a perfect get away and the views are stunning! - Anonymous Posted on 11/12/2021 ### Fun time (5/5 stars) Had another wonderful experience!!! We enjoy staying at summer house 501 and all Isle Palms has to offer!!! - Anonymous Posted on 10/11/2021 ### Great Stay1 (5/5 stars) We took a quick end-of-summer break on Isle of Palms and had a very nice experience at Summerhouse 501. Clean, well-equipped and the view was spectacular. The beach outside the resort is wonderful. - Anonymous Posted on 9/20/2021 ### Fantastic Views (5/5 stars) We did Groceries Ahead, very smart move. Condo was comfortable and we had everything we needed. One maintenance issue that was fixed same day. The balcony was perfect. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view and relaxing. - Anonymous Posted on 9/14/2021 ### Great location. Nicely appointed (5/5 stars) This condo is right on the beach with a great view of the ocean from the long balcony. The rooms are nicely furnished with lots of space. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. Big pantry. Laundry makes it easy to wash beach towels. I only wish the home owner had provided a vacuum or wet mop as the floors are filthy. - Anonymous Posted on 5/30/2021 ### GREAT place to stay! (5/5 stars) This condo has the best view of the beach and sunrises in our opinion! We rented this condo and one other for a family vacation, and it did not disappoint! Clean, comfortable, and beautiful! - Anonymous Posted on 5/3/2021 ### Vacation (5/5 stars) Beautiful sunrises, comfortable beds, great views from balcony, well stocked kitchen. We have stayed in this unit several times and love it. - Anonymous Posted on 4/19/2021 ### Great view and wonderful family spot (5/5 stars) 501 Summer House is well-appointed: great internet signal and the biggest TV we've ever seen in the living area (as well as TVs in bedrooms). The sofa and living area chairs were not super comfortable, but it was nice to have ample seating for everyone in our family. The condo was well maintained and Summer House (as a complex) is looking great too: fast elevator, great beach, etc. We would strongly recommend and are likely to return. - Anonymous Posted on 4/8/2021 ### Winter Getaway (5/5 stars) Summerhouse 501 is fabulous! We stayed there in October and returned end of February. The unit was spotless - even cleaner than in October (and it was spotless in October). Gives us peace of mind during this pandemic! We cook all our meals in the unit and kitchen very well stocked. The views are awesome and love the balcony. - Anonymous Posted on 3/21/2021 ### Pandemic Getaway for the two of us!!! (5/5 stars) We stayed 10 days and had a fabulous time - weather was gorgeous and lots of beach walks. We cooked all meals at condo - kitchen was well equipped! Ate a lot of meals on balcony looking at beach/ocean. It was hard to leave but will return to this unit! - Anonymous Posted on 11/4/2020 ### 501 Summerhouse (4/5 stars) I stayed in this unit 3-4 times in the 1990s. I was looking forward to going back. I love the complex and floor plan. Kitchen is really nice. Master bed was very comfortable. The only negative feedback I have is that the couches are awful to sit on. Hated them. Will probably rent in the future, but only if the couches are replaced. - Anonymous Posted on 10/14/2020 ### Pleasing Stay at Summer House 501 (5/5 stars) It was a very enjoyable time with cooperating weather and pleasant temps. The unit was well equipped and clean. Our only critical recommendation would be to replace the lounging furniture. Both sofa and loveseat have seen better days as far as being comfortable and pleasant to sit on. - Anonymous Posted on 10/2/2020 ### Beautiful condo, great views (4/5 stars) This condo is spacious and offers great views. Beautifully decorated and a very short walk to the beach. The housekeeping staff did dust or clean well, so we cleaned the place on our own. The condo owner had just finished redecorating but shoved all old artwork in the bedroom closets so we had no room to place our clothes or luggage. This should have been addressed before the condo was rented. - Anonymous Posted on 10/2/2020 ### Vacation (5/5 stars) We have been coming to the IOP since 1989 and this is by far the best condo we have stayed in. Wonderful sunrise and ocean views. Very clean and updated. Had everything that you might need. Our original reservations were for May but had to be rescheduled due to the virus. We were very impressed with all of the Covid19 precautions that were being followed everywhere in SC and especially everyone on the island and in Charleston. For the first time in months we felt comfortable getting out and about. We have already reserved the same unit for April 2021 to come back for a concert. - Anonymous Posted on 10/2/2020 ### Summerhouse 501 (4/5 stars) Overall, the experience was good. The view was very nice, location was good. The couches could use replacement and the screens on the deck doors need repair. - Anonymous Posted on 8/4/2020 ### Lovely Place (5/5 stars) The recently renovated condo was the perfect getaway for our family vacation again this year. Great ocean views and comfortable living spaces. We will be back next year. - Anonymous Posted on 8/3/2020 ### Great location in updated penthouse unit (5/5 stars) Good family time! - Anonymous Posted on 5/22/2020 ### Perfect Spot (4/5 stars) Very nice condo with wonderful views. Comfortable master bedroom, well equipped kitchen. Sofas in living room are in need of replacement, but overall it was a great place to stay. - Anonymous Posted on 1/4/2020 ### Wild Dunes beach holiday (5/5 stars) Located right on the beach the sound of waves and seagulls were only surpassed by the gorgeous sunrises and starry nights. The condo was spacious, clean, and well-furnished, with a long balcony and lots of lnatural light. The area is quiet and well maintained. Access to restaurants and shopping is an easy 15 minute drive. - Anonymous Posted on 11/22/2018 ### Time at the beach (5/5 stars) Very enjoyable experience. - Anonymous Posted on 10/22/2018 ### (4/5 stars) - Anonymous Posted on 6/8/2009
