About this property

Oceanside Shipwatch Villa, Steps to the Beach

The perfect beach getaway is right at your fingertips in Wild Dunes Resort. This oceanside, first floor condo has three bedrooms, three bathrooms with a pool and nature view.

A beach-style allure enhances the excitement of a family vacation. The open-style floor plan allows for both a large kitchen and living space, giving everyone a chance to make this space their own. The kitchen is fully equipped with well-crafted wood cabinets, bar seating, and modern appliances to compliment the accents of the area. The living room offers comfort for all, and is furnished with a sofa and chairs for the guests to enjoy the flat screen TV. The dining area, among the living space, features seating for six, making it very useful to enjoy a meal with family and friends.

The master bedroom sports a king sized bed and a flat screen TV of its own. The sizable private master bathroom presents his and her sinks along with a soaking tub and shower. And to top it off, the master allows access for the guest to step out on the oceanside balcony to take in the scenic views.

The second bedroom contains a queen bed and has a semi-private full bathroom which also has a hallway door. This room also has a balcony to itself that faces the front of the unit and a TV. The third bedroom has a new set of full size bunk beds, and a full size trundle bed, along with a private bathroom and TV.

The Shipwatch complex has a large swimming pool, observation deck, and children's play area.

Come and enjoy a memorable beach vacation here!

Enjoyable stay!!we

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here… comfortable beds, cozy den area which is perfect for young children, and a well stocked kitchen. We also appreciated the fact that all bathrooms had been updated! Having stayed at several Shipwatch condos through the years, I must say this one is my favorite!!

Beautiful and cozy condo!

We had a fabulous week at Shipwatch! Great location tucked away in the gated Wild Dunes community. The condo was an end unit, which I love! Directly up one flight of the stairs on the first floor. It had comfortable beds and couches, great balcony furniture, and beautifully renovated bathrooms. We had 5 people total. The kids enjoyed having bunk beds, and my mom, who stayed in the queen guestroom, loved her walk-in shower. A short walk to the beach with a nice, big pool for the kids to enjoy when they were tired of the sand! Overall, we loved this rental and would love to come back in the future!!

Great location and easy access to the beach

Property was clean and spacious and easy access to the beach and pool. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Highly recommend that you have a car for your stay. Bring your own beach towels as they are not included in the rental and you will need several additional kitchen items and supplies as well as your own cleaning supplies for the week.

Five out of Five Stars!

Prior to our trip, we had a couple of questions, which were answered cheerfully and promptly each time. Upon arrival, we found check-in to be remarkably easy, and when we entered the home, we were greeted by a beautiful and immaculately clean space. The building is next to a nice pool area and has a short walk to the beach (five minutes or less.) You can see the Atlantic from the unit, plus there is a playground for families with small children, between the pool and the boardwalk to the beach. The property comes with beach chairs, sand buckets, boogie boards, etc, which are stored in an outdoor closet; the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. All anyone needs to bring are clothes, beach towels, and a few groceries! This was a great vacation, and we would definitely recommend this place to our family and friends.

This condo is just steps to the beach and the pool is right by the condo for a quick afternoon swim. The condo has everything you need - from coffee maker to beach wagon, beach chairs and sand toys. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Beach Golf Weekend

Property was nice but in need of some tlc/updating. Furniture covers and rugs were worn and stained. Dining area floor need to be swept as there were crumbs and chip remnants under the table. The patio table was also dirty so we did not use it. Nothing horrible, just not what we'd expect for the price. Location was great if you want to walk to the beach. The overall resort was very quiet with no real 'walk to' amenities like restaurants or coffee shops, so we travelled to Mount Pleasant or Charleston when we wanted to go out to dinner. Overall it was OK.

Wild Dunes Shipwatch Fall Break

Very nice condo, spacious, and clean. Great location on first floor by pool. Just two minor problems - we were not given a car pass which the company promptly fixed, and we were not given the pool access code. The only information we could find (posted on the refrigerator) said "no pool code needed". We had to call the office to get a code after several attempts to access the locked gate. Additionally, the note at door stated the cost to replace a lost pool pass was $45 while the note on the refrigerator said a lost pass is a $25 charge. Information just needs updating.

View and pool

In the online description, it states that we had ocean view. I even called Sweetgrass Properties to ask if we had a great ocean view. There was no ocean view in this property. Also, pool was filthy and needed to be cleaned after 2nd day of our stay. We just eventually stopped going to pool bc it wasn’t being cleaned.
