Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was as pictured and described. The location was ideal for visiting with family staying next door at Mariner's Walk. Would definitely consider this location for future visits. One recommendations: All pillows were similar, and none good for side sleepers with sore necks. Providing a variety of soft- and firmness would be a wonderful touch!

Very nice stay

Love the closeness to the beach. There were lots of sea shells. Beautiful place to stay. The TVs in the bedrooms didn't work. We let the reality know tvs was fixed but never got a remote for master bedroom. Love the shower to except it had a step up to get in and you have to step down to get out. Had a great view. We all had a great time.

Beach Time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was good and great proximity to the beach. The covered parking underneath the building was great. The main shower unit needs to be scrubbed as the grout was dirty. An inconvenience was most of the paths to the beach had steps which made taking a beach wagon very difficult. Ramps could easily be added. Lastly the amenities listed on the website weren’t correct. It didn’t list a washer/dryer and we planned accordingly for a week’s stay, but we were surprised it had as one m.

Great Location

The location is perfect and the pictures of the condo are spot on. The only negative comment I have is the thermostat could not be adjusted and stayed on 72 degrees. My husband and I did not sleep well at night because it was too hot. I would recommend installing a fan in each room to help circulate the air flow.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property has a lovely oceanfront location and a convenient boardwalk onto the beach. Parking is convenient. The staff at Island Realty were great. (Thank you Aine O'Brien!). We liked the proximity to Mount Pleasant and Charleston and took the opportunity to walk the Ravanel Bridge (great views from up there). Our only concern was the inconsistent WiFi and cell phone reception. We have not experienced this problem in other units.Overall, a great holiday location and a superb place to just relax and enjoy the beach!

Great location but not well appointed

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The proximity to the beach and pool is wonderful, but we were disappointed by the lack of love and attention to this unit elsewhere. With a little effort in amenities, this has potential to be a wonderful spot. Having basic things like good cutlery and extra towels would go a long way. The unit was not well cleaned upon our arrival either. Almost all of the dishes we pulled out of the cabinets were filthy and needed to be hand washed before use.

Thanksgiving Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice property. Loved the landscaping, especially the live oaks. The kitchen is fully stocked, enough for a family Thanksgiving dinner. Internet and cell phone service is spotty to poor. Beds are comfortable. Second bath is small for two adults (second BR has two twins). Master bath is huge. There is a washer and dryer.Large balcony, Ocean View. There is beach even at high tide on this part of the island. We had some issues to report on maintenance but Island Realty was not available due to the holiday. You can leave a voicemail but they aren’t going to fix unless it’s a real emergency. Generally we would be ok with this, but the extremely high rental cost for IOP properties seems like we would get better service - or even better drop the prices.

Shipwatch 204

This was a disgustingly dirty property. I have tried to send you photos of how filthy this unit was. My family has stayed on Isle Of Palms, Wild Dunes, for 25 years. We have stayed in any manner of accommodations, houses, town houses, apartments, etc. This unit was filthy. I have tried to send you photos but I can’t send them to this email address. Thank goodness I was there with family. Otherwise, I would’ve died of embarrassment if I had brought friends. It was truly disgustingly dirty, the linens were not even up to par with a super eight motel, incredibly laughable with the unit listed as a luxury apartment. Very little amenities were supplied for cleaning, but that stands to reason because the place was disgustingly dirty. This was not due to the weekly cleaning people. I don’t think this place has ever had a deep cleaning in its entire history. I would appreciate sharing the photos because it was gross. We had traveled from Texas, New Jersey, and North Carolina. We did not want to have our trip interrupted by having to move or getting booted out of the place because it was unsatisfactory. This makes me question how VRBO can advertise something like this as luxury. You should take this property off the market or reduce the price or at least tell people how gross it is.
