We spent a perfect week in a perfect condo! Highly recommend this unit. Clean, has everything you need. Everything is accessible by walking. Bike rentals are cheap and are fun to see the entire resort - also to ride on the beach! This is our second time to Wild Dunes but first time at this condo. It was just the right size for our family of four. All you need to bring is general groceries from the Piggly Wiggly!

Owner response:Thank you, Jenn - so appreciate your comments and hope you will return.

Cathey, just wanted to say thanks and that we just got back from our stay at Wild Dunes and your condo in Lagoon Villas, and I already miss it. The condo was very nice and everybody in the family enjoyed the trip and stay immensely. Wild Dunes is a wonderful resort for a family vacation and is as beautiful and clean as any I have ever stayed at. We absolutely loved everything about the Charleston area and the surrounding Islands. I would recommend it to all my friends and anyone interested in a fabulous vacation. Personally, I cant wait for a return trip. Thanks again and I look forward to booking again, KG

Owner response:Thanks, Ken ... come see us again next year or earlier Book early as we are already getting inquiries for next June!

This is our second time to Wild Dunes and this property is much nicer than Seascape which was right on the beach. It was nice being able to have the teenagers in one side of the unit at night. We rented bikes for them so we only saw them at dinner. It is noce to have the private pool which is only accesable to guests at The Lagoon Villa complex. Cathey even checked on us upon arrival and was very prompt in answering any questions prior to our arrival. The walk is about ten minutes to the beach which is nice and the unit is fully equipped with adequate lighting and HVAC units. See ya next summer Cathey!

Owner response:Thank you, Phil ... I appreciate your kind words and will look for you again in the future.

LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest: Missy (Dandridge TN)

We loved the villa. It was very clean and was so nice to not have to go out and buy soap, trash bags, washing detergent, etc as we have had to in the past at other places we have stayed in. We normally like staying right on the beach but it was not a bad walk at all to the beach - gave us some exercise after all the good food we ate all week! Very conveniently located to all we did - we went into Charleston several days and it was just a 20 minute or so drive. We will definately look up Cathey again if we come back to the Charleston area - which I'm sure we will. It's a beautiful area with so much history and so much to do! Thank you Cathey for the use of your wonderful villa!

We had a fantastic stay the week of July 2nd. A perfect week to be at the beach. My husband, 2 children and I had a great time. The condo was perfect. It had everything we needed. Close to the beach and the kids loved the pool which is located a few steps away from the condo. We have had the opportunity to visit the condo a few times in the past and plan to return in the future. Thank you for sharing your beach home with us.

All the comforts of home, wrapped in a beach vacation. My husband and I, plus daughter and 2 grandchildren (ages 8 &4) just spent a week in this great villa. Even better then described!! We all enjoyed the beach, which was a short walk. The pool we also used often and was great. Beds were so comfortable, kitchen and great room beautiful. Cooked several times and kitchen had all the items I needed. We are already talking about going back.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was exceptionally clean and had well appointed kitchen. Soaps and shampoos provided were a nice personal touch. Cathy was very informative about the area and easy to contact. Very close to community pool. Easy walk to beach and pavilion. Location was wonderful, close to grocery stores, shopping and marina. Quick trip to Charleston. Excellent meal at Boathouse. Watch sunset at marina restaurant and have great appetizers. This was our first trip to South Carolina and we loved it. Convenient, relaxing, so much to do and see.

Owner response:We are so glad this guest had a good experience at our Wild Dunes villas. We try to make our villa your home away from home ... clean and comfortable. The location within Wild Dunes is excellent ... walk to many acivities and restaurants.

Home away from Home

Guest: Sisters from Canada (Edmonton, Alberta Canada)
Date of Stay: 05/09/11 Review Submitted: 05/27/11

Thoroughly enjoyed my second visit to Charleston, the Isle of Palms and this lovely Lagoon Villa. It feels like home the moment you enter with a cozy decor and wonderful floor plan that provides plenty of privacy for couples, families or friends. The kitchen is well equipped and the new bathrooms are beautiful - my sister and I loved having our own space. We enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the pool and appreciated the quiet location away from any traffic. You can walk to the beach, shops, golf courses and restaurants in just minutes and we rented bikes (just a block away) to ride on the miles of community trails and along the fabulous beach. With a car, the sites and shopping of Charleston are easy to access. I can't say enough about the charms of just walking around the old city and soaking up the stunning architecture and beautiful gardens - history comes alive. We spent almost a full day at Boone Hall plantation and had way too much fun at the Mount Pleasant Shopping Centre. There is so much to see and do... I will definitely be back again!

Owner response:We are so grateful for our guests who appreciate our villa as much as we do. We manage it ourselves as we want you to be as comfortable as we are when we are there. The Charleston area is something not to be missed and this island ... as well as Sullivan's Island next door ... is unique. Come visit us!

This was our 3rd.stay at 14 lagoon villas and we enjoy it more each time. We hope to return for number 4 next spring. It is such a nice cozy condo and very well appointed with what ever you may need. The entire Wild Dunes and Isle of Palms area is just wonderful.We have never had the slightest problem what so ever. From the time we make our reservations til the time we check out, every thing is great. We are so pleased and lucky to have found this condo.

Owner response:We are always so gratified that our effots are rewarded. We want a comfortable place for ourselves and for our guests.

We have stayed at Wild Dunes Resort many times over the last 11 years and by far this unit was the best. We loved our stay so much that we have booked it for next March. Cathey works very hard to make sure that everything is clean and well maintained. It is beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything needed to make it a home. Can't wait to go back!!!!

Owner response:We are always so pleased to get such a nice review. We try to keep making improvements. This year we have wonderful new beds, carpet, diswasher and renovated bathrooms, one with a newly built walk-in shower. We will look forward to having Julie and Peter back again next year.

Classy and Comfortable Villa

Guest: Wild Dunes Snowbird (Kentucky)
Date of Stay: 01/01/11 Review Submitted: 03/22/11

My husband and I stayed at this villa during January and February 2011. We loved the layout with a bedroom and bathroom that could be closed off on each side. The villa was beautifully furnished and very clean. The king-size bed in the MBR was so comfortable that it was hard to get up in the morning! Most of all, we appreciated the owner's efforts to quickly answer our questions and address all of our needs. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and hope to return in the future.

Owner response:We are so happy our guests find our home clean and comfortable. We try to make your vacation at Wild Dunes all that you hope for...

Comfortable and Spacious

Guest: Kathy (Sylva, NC)
Date of Stay: 08/14/10 Review Submitted: 08/21/10

The condo was perfect for us (family of 3). Plenty of space, very comfortable, and well-appointed. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. Very convenient to the pool and activities around Wild Dunes, i.e., easy walk to bike rental & village with deli/store, restaurant, spa, etc. We spent a lot of time at the pool and son played with other kids there. Lots of fun activities at the resort day & night. Only issue is their not having parking at any beach access (be prepared to carry all your gear 300+ yards and/or rent their chairs & umbrellas). The beaches are wonderful, very broad and clean. We enjoyed it much.

Perfect Vacation Home

Guest: Destin 09 (Cherokee NC)
Date of Stay: 07/31/10 Review Submitted: 09/05/10

This was a great rental for us and our two teenagers. The location is perfect with plenty to do. The boys discovered crabbing at the marina the last couple days and wished they had discovered it earlier. We cooked a lot of the fish and blue crab we had caught there during a couple charter trips and it ended up being the best meals in Charleston. The home was very cozy and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. Thanks so much for allowing us to enjoy Charleston there. Everything was exactly as described and we will stay again the next visit to Charleston!

This Villa is all that is advertised. It is well furnished, has great layout and is a short walk to the beach. The check-in /check-out process was simple, and Cathey followed up with us during our stay to ensure we had no problems We have vacationed at several spots near the beach in both South and North Carolina and decided we like Wild Dunes and it's close proximity to Charleston the best. We would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family

Lovely and Cozy Villa

Guest: Wild Dunes Lover (Asheville, NC)
Date of Stay: 05/14/10 Review Submitted: 05/20/10

We just enjoyed a second visit to this lovely and comfortable, well appointed villa. Upon arrival the unit was very clean and ready for us to start our vacation! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook and bake during our stay. The laundry area off of the kitchen was a nice addition and allowed us to keep those beach towels clean! We found the King size bed in the large master bedroom suite to be as comfortable as our bed at home and the second bedroom, with the two full beds and private bath, worked perfectly for our daughter and her family. The location of the villa is ideal since it is close enough to walk to the beach and center of activities but is private enough to enjoy a quiet and relaxing get-away. We loved it!

Owner response:We hope to make our home at Wild Dunes clean and comfortable for all our guests. It is very important to us that your experience at Wild Dunes is positive.

We love the entire Charleston area, especially Isle of Palms/Wild Dunes. Our stay at this villa this year was just as wonderful as last year (and hopefully 2011). This villa is so very nice and cozy! The kitchen has most anything you would need if you are cooking in, although there are some great restaurants in the Isle of Palms & Sullivan's Island area. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation and we feel so very lucky to have found such a great villa!! Thank you Ray, Mary Sue & Mary Emma

Loved this super comfortable 2 bdr. condo within a 10 minute walk of the beautiful Isle of Palms beach.

Of all the Wild Dunes beach properties that my family and I have visited, this one at Lagoon Villas is one of the nicest! It is beautifully decorated, and very comfortable and cozy. The owners have thought of everything you might need as far as in the kitchen and for being entertained. This villa overlooks the pool and is within walking distance to the beach, tennis courts, and bike rentals. Lagoon Villas is a very quiet and peaceful place to be in Wild Dunes. My family and I will definitely be making a return visit sometime in the near future!

Hi Cathey, Happy New Year! I hope you and your family had a great holiday season. This is a long over-due note to tell you how much we enjoyed our visit to Isle of Palms/Charleston in early December. Your villa is lovely and very warm and inviting. It was nice to have such a comfortable place to come "home" to after many long days of sightseeing, etc. You've done a great job with the decor, and we certainly appreciated the quality of, well....everything! We hope to have a chance to stay with you again.
