The house is very nice with lots of room for a family. Quick walk to the beach. We rented bikes and enjoyed riding around the property as well as the island. Cooked several meals and enjoyed time together on the screened in porch.

Amazing property. Loved it. Beds are comfy. Lots of space. Location is perfect for hitting the beach. Kitchen isn’t huge, but we didn’t eat in much. It’s big enough for breakfast and snacking. Dining table provides plenty of room. Living area is spacious and relaxing. Beds and bathrooms were clean. Property advertises with no beach towels or gear, but there were beach towels, a couple of chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards in the garage. Starter sets of to and paper towels were plenty for a week. Would definitely book again.

It was the easiest experience we’ve had through Vrbo and the house was exactly what we saw in pictures. It was plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 toddlers! We would definitely rebook!

Thank you, Marcia! We’re thrilled the house was perfect for your group and that you had an easy experience booking through Vrbo. We’d be happy to host you again anytime! -IOP Escapes
Our family really loved this property. Plenty of space for all of us, the proximity to the beach couldn't be beat, and it was clean and well-decorated. Our hosts were very responsive when we had a question about trash service- turns out the information was available on printed materials in the foyer of the home, but we neglected to pay attention to that, and our hosts kindly answered our questions without pointing out we had simply failed to read what was already provided! Everything was handled very professionally and check-in/check-out was quite easy. The home is very comfortable, A/C is plenty cool, beds and couches are great. We did note the dryer is very slow, so plan extra time for laundering. We grew up here, so coming back to visit with our families is always a joy, and we would definitely stay at this property again.

This home fit our family perfectly. We loved the open space where we could be together, but also the large spaces and bedrooms for us to have privacy as individual families. The bathrooms were so spacious! This was definitely one of the best vacation homes we have ever stayed in.
We had a great stay for our family reunion this summer. Lovely, clean space, easy text communication with the property manager, and great beach access. Thanks for hosting us.
This VRBO was the perfect place for our extended weekend girls trip! It was very cute with plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable and an ideal location! Only a short walk from the beach. The hosts were very responsive and truly made the experience stress free with all the offered amenities.
Beautiful home for our getaway for a family wedding. The home is beautiful and location was perfect. It is beautifully furnished and comfortable beds. The grounds in Wild Dunes are breathtaking! looking forward to return!
We did a large girls trip and stayed at this house. The location was perfect, the house was beautiful, and the management company was so easy to communicate with. We absolutely loved it and hope to come back!
