Great Thanksgiving

Property manager, Darlene, was excellent. Most responsive property manager I have ever had. We had the Thanksgiving buffet and Friday night oyster roast, both were excellent. This is a great location. You can walk to anything you might need. Property condition could not be better, plenty of space, clean, and up to date. Can't think of any negatives. Would definitely stay here again.

Location, Location, Location

Our family has been coming to IOP and Wild Dunes for 15+ years. This is our first time staying in one of the Grand Pavilion homes right on the boardwalk. I don't think we will stay anywhere else moving forward. The check-in process was easy, and communication from the host was timely and accurate. We had 2 adults and 5 teenagers and the house provided tons of room and ample sleeping arrangements. Having a short walk to all the pools, the beach, and the market shops was awesome. We look forward to getting back ASAP.

Amazing!

Overall the stay was amazing! It was our 1st time in Charleston and we will visit again. The house was clean and spacious, exactly as it appeared online. The pools were nice and the short walk to the beach was awesome. We walked the beach every night and the sunsets were great!

Storm stay

Layout worked well for multi-generational group. Kitchen a bit tight for big group. Access to beach and pool very good. Host very helpful, especially during storm. Even with tropical storm, we got to the beach every day. Resort staff friendly.

Exceeds Expectations

We loved staying at this beautiful property! We have been vacationing at Wild Dunes for over 15 years and this has been one of our favorite properties to date. Everything was clean, updated, and well equipped even down to a wagon and chairs for beach days. We truly enjoyed our stay and the location right on the boardwalk.

Great place to stay

This was a great place to stay! The house was well stocked with everything we needed! It was very spacious and we loved that every room had their own bathroom. The house was very clean and the host was great to work with! The resort this property is in is beautiful and it has all the amenities you could want. We loved how easy it was to get to the beach and all of the restaurants around. Would love to come back!!

Awesome and well thought out rental

Property owner clearly thought about what families would want in a beach house. Layout is great, amenities are wonderful, location can’t be beat. We really appreciated the thought that was put into the house and making us easy and useful for guests.

Such a great place!

House was as advertised, but better! Very large rooms and pretty sound proof from level to level (we traveled with lots of littles so this was such a nice bonus). Beach, pool and restaurants are steps away making it so easy for groups of all ages. Hope to make this house an annual stop!

Mother’s Day Gathering

We had a fabulous, relaxing time. The beach was beautiful. Wild Dunes was great. Plenty of pools, places to eat, work out and relax. Can’t say enough about how nice all the people who worked at the resort were. A perfect place for a family vacation.

2nd time back at Anchors Away!

2nd summer back at 117 GP, staying with extended family. We love everything about the house, from the themed bedrooms, to the multiple full bathrooms, to the location steps from the pools, bars, grill, and beach. Not too mention, Amy is a wonderful property manager, who constantly goes above and beyond.

Nice home and great location

Overall we had a great stay. The house was very clean and ready when we checked in. The kids love playing on the boardwalk every day and the ability to walk anywhere, we rented a golf cart too and explored the island. Biggest downside here is the Wifi does not work on the second or third floor, with kids and trying to work some, and cell service very poor, it created a number of nuisances. Property manager replied right away and sent out tech, tech said no issues even though I sent multiple screenshots of issues from various devices, it actually got worse after he came. I know networking and this home needs to upgrade to a mesh system and change the network name/pw for better security. Only other small things were the master shower and top floor shower heads all leak about 50% and need replacing, some mattresses are nearing their end of life with big divots in the middle of some of them. Few little maintenance things that could be better taken care of and would easily give this home 5/5.
