Isle of Palms

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo itself was nice, but our biggest issue was the air conditioning. It would not cool below 70 degrees, even though we tried. The instructions asked guests to keep it set at 72, but we typically sleep with our home much cooler at night. We live in Alabama, so we're used to hot weather, and our AC at home has no problem keeping the house cool.Unfortunately, the condo stayed too warm for us to sleep comfortably, and we were pretty miserable at night. I'm not sure if there was a temperature limit programmed into the thermostat, but it was frustrating to spend that much money on a vacation and not be comfortable because the AC couldn't keep the unit cool.

Family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this unit!! Thoughtfully decorated, very spacious and with an ocean view. It was extremely relaxing for us and we highly recommend it! The only downside is that the AC unit seemed to be older and it felt more like a hotel unit when it came off and on...but it cooled the condo wonderfully, just more of a noise nuisance than anything else. Otherwise, we loved it!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was clean and had more updated furnishings. The pool rules are ridiculous. Was sent away after using a code to get inside because I didn’t have a bracelet. Was told guests give out the code and needed a bracelet to prove we stayed there. Seems like a lot of hassel to paying guests for something that can’t be a real problem.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 June 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you found the condo clean and appreciated the updated furnishings. We understand your frustration with the pool access policy and are sorry for the inconvenience. The bracelet requirement is in place to help prevent liability risks and overcrowding caused by unauthorized use of the complex pool. Unfortunately, pool codes are sometimes shared with non-guests, which can impact the experience for actual Shipwatch guests and residents. The bracelet system helps ensure that those using the amenities are staying on the property, so that everyone can enjoy a safe and relaxing environment. We truly appreciate your stay and your comments, and hope to welcome you back in the future!

Comfortable Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has a well laid out floor plan to accommodate guests while preserving space and privacy. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and baking. The location is convenient to the beach and local attractions. We were able to enjoy a nice stay at the beach and local attractions. However, the condo is outdated and needs a good deep cleaning. I was unable to feel comfortable because the condo was clean on the surface but not thoroughly cleaned.

Lovely stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: This is a lovely, comfortable condo that my family absolutely enjoyed. We had perfect summer weather, frolicked on the beach, enjoyed the pool area. I sat on the balcony overlookng the Atlantic and had coffee each morning, watching pelicans and other sea birds fly past. This was a perfect spot for our staycation. The kitchen was well equipped and met our needs. We had only a couple of small criticisms. The floors weren't properly cleaned when we moved in. And I would have liked a grab bar in the master bathroom's shower. The master bathroom has been beautifully renovated but I was worried each time I stepped out of the shower with wet feet. The other two bathrooms had not been updated but were adequate.

Convenient Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in Wild Dunes for many years. This unit is conveniently located close to the beach and a healthy walk from the amenities (tennis, pickleball, restaurants). For a few short days it was fine. The unit does need some updating and unlike other rentals we've had in Wild Dunes, there were no basics provided like 1-2 pellets for the dishwasher, etc.

Beautiful view and easy access to the beach

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: Whenever we are planning a trip to the beach, we always look through the reviews from prior guests so I want to be very honest about our experience staying at Shipwatch A 105. I'll begin with the pros: There is a wonderful view of the beach from the living room and primary bedroom and it was great having an easy walk to get to the beach without having to go up and down stairs. The bed in the primary was very comfortable and the decor throughout the unit was beachy and cheerful. The kitchen was VERY well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. The blinds were so easy to use and kept the bright light out in the early mornings. Shipwatch is in a great location in Wild Dunes, and it's an easy walk down to the shops and restaurants. Cons: All of the appliances are very old and noisy. The dryer would turn on but it took forever to dry the clothes and towels. The burners on the stove were very questionable. We had to do a little repair on a few to get pots to sit correctly on them. The beds in the other two bedrooms were very uncomfortable. The dated drawer and cabinet hardware in the primary bathroom sticks out way too far. I cut my leg on one of them. Wifi is spotty inside the unit and we couldn't make calls unless we went outside. Overall, we are giving a pretty good rating because of the pretty view and easy access to the beach. For the money, this is a nice condo with a lot to offer. The owners should really consider investing in nice, new appliances. It would make a world of difference!

We had everything we needed in the well=appointed kitchen except a pitcher for tea. My only recommendation is that a place is needed to store beach items.
