We spent 5 days at 115 Shipwatch and couldn't of had a better location. It was close to Charleston, and all the attractions. The condo was so clean and had everything we needed. The furniture and decor was great. Great big TV in living room. King size bed was very comfortable and bathroom was nice and large and great counter. Twin beds could of had better mattresses but were fine. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and the pool. I would definately come back if we return to Charleston again. Restaurants were great and everything was within 30 minutes of the condo. Grounds were kept immaculate. Pictures on website are very accurate.

Anniversary Stay

We could not have asked for a better view -- gorgeous as stated! Right on the beach and we had amazing weather. It was unbelievable that we were able to swim in the Atlantic Ocean in mid-October. Internet access worked well and yes, we had to turn off both the modem and the router, wait a few seconds and then turn it back on. After that it worked like a champ and was very much appreciated. It was so nice to have the linens provided so we didn't need to bring those along as well as the hair dryers in each bathroom. A true convenience. The TVs were very nice and the kitchen was well equipped. We spent a day in Charleston although we did not take any of the tours. We walked through the market (flea market-type atmosphere), walked around the Battery area looking at the amazing homes, and explored Broad Street and the French Quarter. We had lunch at Magnolias which was awesome (try their eggroll appetizer!) and we also ate at Hominy Grill which was also good. A very nice vacation. Thank you!

The condo was perfect - clean, comfortable, and an amazing location right on the beach with a magnificent view of the ocean and a convenient pool view too. The photos and description are very accurate. All beds were comfortable, including the sleeper sofa, and the TVs/Internet/appliances worked well. We loved Wild Dunes; it was so much quieter than other parts of the island, so the beach never got crowded - worth the extra few miles. My husband and son both took two golfing lessons with David, the pro, right next door, and then played on the course - also right there! - at a reduced rate after 5:00 pm. It was a really hot week, so we just enjoyed the ocean and beach (hardly went in the pool, but we did do some laps there), ate at fabulous restaurants (like Morgan's Creek, Poogan's Porch, Poe's Tavern, Nic 'n Jim's, Hominy Grill), toured Charleston by trolley (a must), visited Magnolia Plantation and Fort Sumter, and found a terrific little improv theater group in Charleston that was hysterical and my teens loved it (Theatre 99). On the beach, we rented lounge chairs and an umbrella, and used a couple of other chairs left in the condo along with the two boogey boards and noodles (those were great!) -- the beach umbrella left in the condo was broken. If the sportscard would've been included, I know we would've used the fitness center and maybe played some tennis - but we didn't want to pay extra especially since it was very hot. We had intended to rent bikes too, but the days went too quickly! Overall, it was a terrific week of enjoying each other's company (parents with kids 14,18, and 20) at a beautiful condo on a beautiful island close to a really cool city! It was a pleasure, too, arranging the condo rental with David and Robin, and they were both extremely helpful answering questions about the area and restaurants. We'd love to be able to go back again some day!

213 Seascape

We found the property to accurately reflect the description on the website. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The owner provided excellent resources of restaurants, attractions, and services in the area. There were many extras in the condo that we have not found in other properties we have rented. The views from our balcony of the beach and pool were fantastic. The beach and pool were just a short walk away. We enjoyed the Charleston Aquarium. One of our favorite restaurants is Locklears in Mount Pleasant. We would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Fantastic Condo, perfect for our family of 5! It was great to sit out on the balcony relaxing in the rocking chairs and listening to the waves. Great pool! The condo was very clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed plus more. The owners thought of everything, especially the little things that visitors tend to forget, like extra toilet paper, sugar packets, seasonings, dish detergent, etc. We would definitely stay here again and again. So convenient to the beach and pool, couldn't be better. I would have loved to stay all summer long! We enjoyed dinner at the Upper Deck at the Marina. Fun atmosphere and live music. We also explored Mt. Pleasant and dined at Vickery's and Guiseppi's(both were very good). Ventured into Charleston to the Market Street shops and ate at T-Bonz. All the restaurants we visited were kid-friendly and priced reasonably. Also bought fresh shrimp at the Simmons seafood shop on Isle of Palms and it was delicious.

Great location and views

Stayed April 10-17, 2010. This rental is pretty much exactly as advertised which is great. From booking to the end of our stay our visit was wonderful. Part of the reason I booked this was the early communication Robin. She was very helpful and patient with my questions. (I was a first time renter). I will add that there is a flat screen TV with some HD channels in the living room. That was a bonus I didn't see in the description. There is not a picture of the deck but it's a pretty nice size and has a plastic table with 4 plastic stackable chairs and 2 wooden rockers. The restaurant and area books were very helpful. The view in incredible, the location is great. It's on the Mt. Pleasant side of Charleston where Patriot's Point is located so very convenient. There are also 2 connectors (517 & 703) off of the island which helps with traffic. We'd looked at staying on Folly Beach and drove over there but traffic was terrible and it was very crowded. This was much quieter. Also check out Sullivan's Island. They have a number of restaurants and you don't have to leave the island to eat. A couple are not mentioned in the restaurants guide (Dunleavy's Pub, and Seel's on Sullivan) Didn't try them but they are casual. I will add the following pointers about the condo. The wireless instructions didn't work. You have to use the passcode on the modem not the network key. I got connected to wireless network but couldn't do anything on the web. Talked with telecommuncations at Wild Dunes and ended up having to use a long network cable to connect directly to my laptop and by-pass the wireless/router. The rep from WD couldn't connect through the wireless either. That was minor and once I got connected it was fine even with the work around. Suggestions: 1)Condo doesn't have window coverings on 2 of the main windows. Not a problem during the day, but at night it's not very private. Looks like there were some but they are under the bed in the master. (Bring a robe) 2) Cell phones don't work inside so all calling had to be done using the land lines provided. There are 2 phones. 1 in kitchen and 1 in master bedroom. Would love one that was in the living room to make it easier to call especially when you have to be in the living room for internet and information. These were 2 minor things, but wanted to let others know. Over all exactly what we were looking for and would definitely rent from these owners again.

Owner response:Thanks so much for the feedback - we appreciate it and we are glad you had a great time. Note some folks prefer not to use the window coverings and take them down. However, they are available in the condo for your use. We look forward to having you stay again !

What a wonderful Thanksgiving week! The condo was perfect for our needs. Spent time with my CofC daughter and my mom. Visited the market in Marion Square on Sat. and had wonderful walks on the beach. Would love to lease from you again!!

We are always a little anxious when renting a place sight unseen. However, we were not disappointed with 213 Seascape. It was very clean and we loved all the fluffly towels, etc. as well as the well-stocked kitchen. The view was, as I was told, wonderful and we spent a lot of time sitting in the rockers. All the information we received before hand also was so helpful. If we have the opportunity to go back to Charleston, we would definitely like to stay here again. Thanks to the owner for making this a good "home away from home."

Your condo was beautiful! The ocean view was awesome! The restaurant guide was very useful. The keyless entry was great! Wish there would have been a vacuum available...we tried our best to keep the sand to a minimum, but would have felt better if we could have swept a time or two. We love Charleston and we love the beach...your condo made that all available to us! Our plan is to return next year!
