Our girls trip was so fun and we loved the house. Fully equipped and nice neighborhood! Very safe. A short walk to the beach and a thirty minute drive to Charleston. We each had bedroom and perfect for gathering during the day. Lovely back porch and deck. We loved our time there. Thank you to the host for expedient communication. Beautiful house!

Perfect Location on IOP

This place was ideal for our group. Plenty of room and beds for our reunion. Kitchen was accommodating with most everything we need to prepare meals. Close to the beach. Great restaurants close by and the marina just around the corner for access to our boat. Golf at wild dunes links course 5 minutes away. Perfect location. We’ll be back next time we come to IOP.

The home we stayed in accommodated our family of 11, which includes eight adults and three grandchildren. It was cozy and spacious with plenty of kitchen essentials for cooking. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was amazing!

More than expected.

An amazing home. Comfortable for our large family. Pictures don’t do it justice. Large sitting areas. Large tvs. Large screened in patio that extends living space. Easy walk to the beach. You could load up the car and go park a little closer if you have Little’s and don’t want the longer haul. All the comforts of home too. The grill is great - air fryer - good set of pots and pans. Comfortable beds. Nice to have two masters and separate wings. Enough bathrooms for all. Large driveway. Great a/c. Beautiful area to walk or ride bikes.

So glad we booked this house

We've loved our IOP house! Inside the Wild Dunes Resort, very clean, very spacious, a short walk to the beach. We found plenty of beach gear in the garage - chairs, boards, toys, a couple of umbrellas. Communication was great, we checked in very late but going through the gates couldn't have been easier. Highly recommended!

WOAT family vacation

The house was located perfectly, but we did need two golf carts to get around. The house was not cleaned as I would have liked- the floors through out the house were very dirty. All in all , the place was nice for our big family & made a lot of memories!

Everything was perfect - the beach so convenient and gorgeous, the food so delicious, the house perfectly appointed, the hospitality amazing but the time spent with work friends that have become like family was the best part of all!

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful time at the house with family for Thanksgiving. It was an easy walk to the beach with plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all of us. The grocery store was a 5 minute drive. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Living spaces in and out were perfect. House was very clean! Thank you for the bottle if wine and cookies!

A Whale Of A Time

Whale of Time is the most perfect house for a large family. Plenty of space, a great layout and wonderful furnishings. The porch is an absolute dream. Itrip is also quick and responsive to any questions or needs. I rented this house for my sons’ ring/parents’ weekend at The Citadel and my fingers are crossed that I can rent it again for graduation.
