Thanksgiving 2009 couldn't have been any better. Allen's condo is clean, mantained to perfection and equipped with evrything one needs for a week at the beach. From bathroom amenties to complimentary bubbly in the fridge. The kitchen had all the tools necessary for preparing a Thanksgiving dinner enjoyed by a day visit from two adult children and granddaughter. Often a website appears nicer than reality. The condo is everything as pictured and described on the website. Thanks Allen John & Judy

Owner response:John and Judy - thank you so much for those kind words, and please come back again! Allen

I'd like to thank Allen for keeping this condo is such beautiful shape. We have been quesst two different time and both times we have been greeted with a beautiful, clean, well-appointed condo. I hesitate to write a review because I don't want too many people to know how great this place is. The location, the beach, everything is wonderful. We needed to get away and be quiet and we sure have found the place to offer everything we want! Thanks again Allen for all you do to make our stay special!

I have been visiting the North and South Carolina coasts for over 20 years. This unit was by far the best appointed condo I've ever stayed in. It is simply top-notch. Beautifully decorated, well stocked (including wine and bottled water in fridge), clean. The view was superb...I just can't say enough about how great my stay was! I have been talking to all my friends about how beautiful it all was and would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend! I highly recommend Hall's Chop House, Mellow Mushroom, Poe's, Red's Ice House, and High Cotton (esp for Sunday Brunch) when you visit Charleston. I can hardly wait to return!

Great place to stay!

We stayed here from 10/29/11 until 11/5/11. It was our first trip to South Carolina. We wanted to see Charleston, but preferred to stay somewhere a bit outside the city. We had a wonderful time! The Wild Dunes resort is beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained. Allen's condo is just as described and pictured. We arrived after dark the first night so we could not see the ocean. When we awoke the next morning and saw the amazing view from the bedroom, porch, and living room we were so happy we had selected this location. The amenities provided were great - bottled water, all kitchen supplies, toiletries, hairdryer, beach towels and chairs, etc. The furniture was all functional and comfortable, the bed was great for our backs, and even bathrobes and velour throws were provided. The screened in porch was very nice - we enjoyed sitting out there to enjoy our coffee and the ocean in the morning even though it was November. We would definitely stay there again and can highly recommend this place to others. Thank you, Allen!

Owner response:Thank you so much, Kimberly and Brian! And thank you for taking such good care of my villa. I'll look forward to your next visit. Allen

Beach towels and chairs provided. Fruit basket and a bottle of wine. Bath robes. Bottled water in the frig. Perfect for a get-a-way to relax and enjoy the sun, sand and water. Excellent dining on IOP or short drive to Charleston. Thanks Allen for another enjoyable week.

Paradise in Wild Dunes!

My daughter and I stayed at this cozy condo in July 2010. It was extremely clean and organized. The kitchen and bath were stocked with a generous supply of amenities to help get us started. We were so excited to have a wonderful Welcome basket full of goodies to greet us! We could sit on the porch to view the ocean or pool. We had a great time here and would not hesitate to rent here again.

The perfect vacation!

I have to say the previous reviews are spot on. The minute we walked through the door one of my boys threw his arms around me and exclaimed "Thank you mom!" The condo is very nice, everything works and the view is great. Because of the attention to detail in the decoration and amenities it feels like someone lives there, it's not devoid of personality like a lot of other rentals can be. The area at that end of Wild Dunes is uncrowded and stress free (including the beach). But still close to everything. The only reason it takes 20 minutes to Charleston is because you have to drive slowly through the Isle of Palms. For activities I'd recommend Barrier Island Eco Tours - they have some really good excursions to Capers Island. Thank you Allen for being such a good manager.

We spent one week at Wild Dunes and had a wonderful vacation! The condo was exactly as shown in the pictures. So impressive, so comfortable with every amenity. The pool and beach were great. We enjoyed Charleston, as well as the many restuarants and shops in towns close to Isle of Palms. And of course, the welcome basket was a great touch and much appreciated. Allen was always a phone call away if needed. Without hesitation, I would recommend staying here!

The Perfect Beach Vacation!

This is a wonderful place to stay! Beautifully decorated and equipped. Everything you need is at the condo. The view is spectacular and the screened porch is so nice - we enjoyed breakfast and lunch there every day! It was one of the best vacations we have had. A nice, family atmosphere! Even though it was late June, the beaches and pool were never crowded! Excellent restaurants nearby on the island! Allen, you were most helpful in answering all of my questions and I appreciate that! We will definitely be back.

The condo was just as beautiful as we remembered and the beach was so much better thanks to the restoration. The only reason I'm not rating the experience as excellent is because the people staying in the condo above were noisy the whole week despite our calls to the resort to complain. Thanks for the great vacation though - we will definitely be back!!
