Fantastic Condo and Location!!

To be in South Carolina for a vacation is good, to be on the Isle of Palms and in Wild Dunes is great and to have rented this condo makes it perfect! Everything in the condo was as advertised plus a lot more! The owners included everything you would need for a great vacation, including beach chairs, bicycles, and even a welcome bottle of wine! My best recommendation is that I would definitely rent this condo again the next time we're in the Charleston area.

Recommended for:People with disabilities, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Great Vacation!

We love the ocean, and our stay at Peter's villa was perfect. The villa was clean, the amenities were super, and Peter Cole was a great host! The location on the beach and the view from the widow's walk were priceless. We spent so much time admiring the views from the screen porch and up top that we never did tour the area as we had planned! We would definitely stay at this property again.

Recommended for:Age 55+, romantic getaway.

Claims about the views are not exaggerated!

My wife and I were looking for a seaside escape near Charleston for a week of relaxation and this unit fit the bill perfectly. The accomodations and amenities were all high quality, and the ocean views were just spectacular! The property is right on the beach, allowing us to spend hours each day strolling beside the ocean. We had one problem regarding access to the property at the beginning of our holiday, but the owner went out of his way to make the situation right, which we appreciated. All in all, an excellent condo rental!

My husband and I just returned from spending 4 weeks in this condo. The owner has thought of everything – a daily newspaper delivered to the front door, current magazines arrived weekly, bikes were waiting in the rack, living areas that are very clean, pretty and comfortable – but the real stunner is the view. The pictures don’t do it justice. Regardless of the weather (and in February we saw everything from sun to fog to snow), we were able to relax and enjoy watching the beach. Our golden retriever joined us and it’s such a treat to find a dog-friendly place like this. All of us were very sad to leave. We’re already planning our next trip!

The wodow's watch is a perfect spot to watch a storm move out to sea, star gaze with a telescope or just watch the sun come up. We cannot think of anything the owner could provide to make the stay any better. The wireless router is especially helpful for smart phones and laptops. We WILL stay with Peter again.

Widow's watch is a fantastic spot to set up a telescope, watch a storm move out to sea at night, or watch the sun come up. Wireless internet connection is a really nice bonus for anybody with a Smart Phone. We cannot think of anthing lacking in the condo. We will stay again, and hope to bring the dog next time.

We just got back from a week at Port O'Call F302, and had one of the most restful, relaxing vacations ever - due in large part to the beautiful condo! It was tastefully decorated, comfortable and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed both porches, but spent most of our time on the "Crow's Nest." Our 2 mini schnauzers loved the porches the best - they could watch everything happening on the beach and feel the ocean breeze. The bikes were also great to have on hand. We were so impressed with your condo that we immediately booked the same week for next year, and can't wait to go back! Thank you for the very thorough information on how to best enjoy the beach and surrounding areas.

Our week at this condo was one of the best we’ve had at Isle of Palms. The attention to detail was very appreciated from the morning paper delivery, current magazines, beach bikes and best views of the ocean from both the screened in porch and widow’s peak. This condo is the perfect distance to the beach; everyone was very helpful and accommodating. We cooked all our meals in the well stocked kitchen and ate on the screened in porch or 4th floor widow’s peak. The views of the ocean are spectacular. We watched the sun rise and moon rise daily. This is a true gem.

We had a wonderful time. This is a magnificent property in an unbelievable location. Our only regret was that we enjoyed just sitting and looking at the ocean so much, that we didn't have time to do all the other things we planned in the Charleston area.

We had an amazing 7 days at this beachouse. Every need and want were taken care of by the owners. Our pup pups had an even better time we think. We especially loved the sunrises and sunsets. Best place we've stayed ever at the coast. We will certainly use this condo again and again.

They have truly thought of everything. And the location - awesome. Right on the ocean and if you leave the drapes open in the bedroom, you can wake to the sun rising over the ocean - breath taking. Over the course of the week, I found over 2 dozen whole sand dollars. Spotted 2 live conchs, but left them to live, as you are suppose to and living creatures. Two tall teenage girls shared the extremely comfortable sleep sofa in the living room. Great selection of movies, although we never watched any. Wireless connection worked great - so I could stay connected with the office as well as my normal internet surfing. 2 TVs and 2 rooms provided everyone with the space they needed. Screened porch and roof porch are both awesome. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with our family. We returned relaxed and refreshed!

We just loved staying in that condo for two weeks. It is a magical place and we loved the fact we were right on the beach. It was also great to be able to bring our Standard Schnauzer with us. Everything you might need is available in that condo --it is like home away from home.

You have thought of everything to make your renters feel welcome. We enjoyed the bottle of wine, the Charleston tea, and we brought home the pen and pad you provided.The condo is beautifully decorated and furnished, very clean, and stocked with an entertainment center, movies, books, and two very nice televisions. We enjoyed our relaxing stay immensely.

We just stayed in your wonderful condo. We could not ask for a nicer and friendlier place. The decor was absolutely gorgeous. Lying in bed and looking out the window at the ocean reminded my husband of being on a cruise ship. Breakfast on the Widow's walk was spectacular! The staff and other vacationers were very nice. Helped us with our sons wheelchair when we went down to the beach with him! Will definetly come back again and again!

We have stayed in several units in Port O' Call and this one far surpasses anything we expected. The accomodations are clean and updated and the views are incredible. Having dinner on the screened porch hearing the waves break was my favorite!

We've been coming to the Charleston area for the past 12 years and this has been our best place to stay. The views are truly breathtaking. You are so close to the beach, you feel like the waves are going to come through your door! The amenities were wonderful, the decor was beautiful, yet very comfortable. We truly felt we were the guests of good friends! We enjoyed the place so much we are going to make this our beach destination year after year!

Truly an amazing place to spend a vacation. The views are amazing, the beach was great, and the pool was a refreshing alternative. The furniture is top-notch and makes you feel like you are somewhere special. We loved spending our days wandering the beach and searching for shells. Having the screened-in porch and the sun deck on top was amazing. I feel content saying that we will make the condo an annual destination. Best. Vacation. Spot. Ever.

We celebrated our 34th Wedding Aniversary and this was the perfect place to enjoy it. The attention to detail and the little extras made this a memerable stay for us. With such a great ocean view, you just want to sit on the deck and listen to the waves roll onto the sand or just lay around on the beach, but we managed to get out and do some site seeing and dine in some great restaurants. We had a wonderful time and we look forward to our next visit with you. Thanks for the memories!

Wow! What a view, from every room. It is a beautiful place, very tastefully decorated. We enjoyed our walks on the beach and on the walking/bike trails every day. From the moment we entered this condo we felt at home. We have a very beautiful house on a lake and I am very picky where I spend my vacation time. I alway tell my husband "why would I want to stay in a place that's not as nice as my own home". What a pleasure it was to stay here and enjoy your ocean views. We had rain one day which kept us inside but the view of the ocean and beach made you forget about the rain. Waking up to see the ocean just made every day great. We enjoyed this condo so much we want to make it our permanent vacation getaway. Why look elsewhere when you have found perfection? Joni Noble

As you can imagine there is not a property owner alive that would not try to put their place in the best possible light.....their best foot forward. I want you to know if you have not already figured it out, I have perfected BS to an art form. You would be best to take anything I say, and anyone else about their property for that matter, with a grain of salt. The proof is in the pudding....the acid test is what past renters have to say. With no ax to grind; you can take what they say to the bank.

Very nice condo in excellent location. Close to both Golf Courses and of course right on the beach with outstanding views. The furnishings were very well done and comfortable...FIRST CLASS!!! The owner was most helpful in providing local info such as restaurants, sight seeing, etc...much better than a travel agent or rental agent would provide. We look forward to again visiting this lovely property.

This was the best vacation I have had in years. If you are looking for a place to relax and forget the stresses of everyday life this is the place to go. The pictures of the condo do not do it justice. It is even more beautiful in person. The owners of this condo are the most gracious hosts. They provide a lot of little things to make the stay even better.

I have stayed in and around this area dozens of times over the years, and this is my favorite place to stay, by far. Being able to fall asleep at night listening to the waves lapping against the shore; and then wake up and sit up in bed and look out at that incredible ocean view...it was wonderful! I just didn't want to leave. I look forward to going back and would recommend it to anyone!
