Directly on the beach and offering truly spectacular views from 2 oceanfront balconies, this 1600+ sqft penthouse is a two-story, open concept unit on the top floor and has the largest floor plan in Shipwatch.
The home has three beautifully decorated bedrooms and three spa-like baths. There are two master bedrooms (both with new high-end pillow-top king size beds) upstairs - one overlooking the private beach and largest pool in Wild Dunes, and the other overlooking the par 3, 12th hole of the award winning Wild Dunes Links golf course. The third bedroom is on the main floor with two new twin beds. The living room sofa has a pullout queen sleeper if additional sleeping space is needed, and all bedrooms have their own large flat screen smart TVs. Each bedroom also has its own en-suite bathroom that has been newly renovated with marble counter tops and all high-end finishes. The primary master shower has two shower heads with pebble tile flooring, and the other two bathrooms have deep soaking tubs.

Overall very nice. Kitchen was well appointed and the host was very responsive. We had a It was a very nice stay and would be pleased to stay there again.Some minor maintenance needed. One kitchen barstool was missing a foot which made it uneven. The barstool cushions were soiled and the patio furniture for the second master suite needs to be cleaned.
My wife and I normally take a yearly trip to Charleston and stay downtown, but this year we decided to bring the kids and wanted to stay near the beach. Our stay at the condo did not disappoint. It was beautiful, with a nice layout, and the perfect amount of space for what we needed. We loved the ocean views and that it was steps away from the beach. The pictures are accurate and Steve was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our time and will definitely be back in the future.

Location was excellent! Ocean front with great views. condo had several issues. Not stocked with toilet paper upon arrival. Two of the three toilets were not working properly. Our host finally got maintenance to fix the toilets but they continued to not work properly. Sliding screen door to balcony was broken so could not be used. High chairs and baby items were left out taking up room along with beach toys and vacuum sitting out in the open in the hallway . My guests and I were very disappointed in this condo and would not recommend but location was great.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the oceanfront location and views.
When you reported the toilet issue, we had maintenance at the condo the same day and the repair was completed within an hour or so. We were also not notified of any additional toilet problems after that visit. Likewise, the other concerns mentioned in your review were never brought to our attention during your stay. Had you made us aware of them at that time, we would have been happy to promptly address them with our maintenance and housekeeping staff.
We appreciate your feedback and are always committed to responding quickly when issues are reported.
This is our third stay here and we love it just as much as the first time!! The location, the beds, the layout! We love it all!! We will be back again!!!
This property had absolutely everything we needed for a week's stay with our family, ages 5-14. The property is well maintained, and beautifully decorated/ stocked. Location was perfect with easy access to the beach and well sized pool. I would definitely recommend.
We loved our stay! Plenty of room for a family of four - could comfortably fit up to 8. The location was beautiful - great views of the ocean, just steps away. Quite beaches stretched for miles. The pool was fantastic too - like new lounge chairs and very quiet.If you’re going to make a grocery store run, do it on your way in Harris Teeter or Target - they’re a bit of a windy, slow drive away.
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing location in Wild Dunes. The condo was clean, beautiful, and spacious. Loved the outdoor spaces and oceanfront views. Definitely stay here for your next trip to IOP!
