Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that there was an odor during your stay and that the view did not meet your expectations. This condo is currently undergoing renovations and is not intended for guest use again until the work is completed later this year. While we work to improve the unit, we appreciate your comments and look forward to welcoming guests back once renovations are finished.

Met our needs

The property worked for us. We were glad there were only two of us as the property is small. We would not have been comfortable with 4 people. The property was conveniently located to beach, restaurants and grocery store. Everything within walking distance. The pool area could use more chairs.

Thank you for taking the time to send us a review. It is true that the Sea Cabins are only 480 sq feet as advertised. This can be a tight fit for some people. We are glad that you both found their to be plenty of room for you during your stay. Thank you for letting us know that the pool could use some more chairs. The Sea Cabins HOA is responsible for the pool area, thank you for letting Island Realty know so that we can inform them. We hope to see you again the next time you are looking for a conveniently located beach condo!

Sea Cabins

This particular unit was disappointing. Location is great with ocean view. However, the unit itself had stains underneath the couch cushions. No note pads or writing utensils provided. Carpet on the balcony stained and the kitchen cabinets had plastic covers which were bowing because of the moisture. Would not choose this unit again

Family Vacation

The property was not clean. There was a terrible odor that lasted for days. Housekeeping had put a clean liner in the kitchen trash can that had foul smelling liquid and food at the bottom. Took us several hours to figure out where the smell was coming from. Even after the property manager removed the can the odor lasted. Property needs updated. Location was great for beach access. Would suggest better housekeeping.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know your experience. Island Realty would have liked to have had housekeeping come back out to assist you with the clean. You did not have to do this yourself. Island Realty did send someone to assist you with the foul odor and did offer you an air purifier to help clean the air. We would like to thank you for your suggestions.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 25 years ago we accidently discovered Island Realty. WE were looking for a lance close to Charlston and contacted them. That fortunate discovery has led to 25 successive years of wonderful service. IR has helped us every step of the way as we have returned each year since then. The people who we have worked with have changed but the service and attention to derail has always been the same. They listen, make suggestions and solve problems. Island Realty is a part of our family.

Perfect For Short Stay

We visited for a Citadel homecoming reunion, so we did not enjoy the beach, even though the weather was wonderful for it! Had we decided to sit on the beach, it was handy that the condo had beach chairs available. The small supply of toilet paper, paper towels, and soap were sufficient for our 3 night stay. Some of the bath towels were a bit stiff yet still functional. This was on the second floor, so up one short flight and then a straight up longer flight. We noticed the stairwell needed better lighting in the dark. Definitely a upward walk with luggage so not recommended for anyone with mobility issues.

Thank you for taking the time to send us a review and let us know how much you appreciate the beach chairs being available for guests! The owner of this condo will be very pleased to hear this. Unfortunately the things you mentioned are controlled by Sea Cabin community HOA. Thank you for letting us know you need better lighting, we will inform the HOA. The fact that there is no elevator can be difficult, that is why we do advertise this fact. Thank you for sharing your experience with Island Realty and we hope to see you the next time you are need some amazing ocean views!

Not as advertised

When I made the reservation, I asked if the property was in Wild Dunes, and was told yes. It was not. Having Lakehouse rentals myself false advertising on the way, something looks versus the way it is is unacceptable. Did not even stay there .... lost our money and had to book a different place within Wild Dunes where we originally thought we would be.

Thank you for taking the time to send Island Realty a review. It is regrettable that there was a misunderstanding while booking. This property clearly states its location and address on our website. Our vacation planners have maps in front of them and are well versed at the locations of our properties. Our team can also listen to all calls that come in our office and clarify issues like this. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Island Realty is glad that we could assist you with getting you located in Wild Dunes.

The TVs were very old,not smart TVs so we only had cable .Needs a new refrigerator that has a working ice maker. Would be helpful if the condo had pot holders and a few extra dish towels. Overall very overpriced for the size of the condo. We rented a lovely 4 bedroom house at Holden Beach NC with its own pool right on the beach for just $200 more a week so we won’t be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a great week.The location, literally a 30 second walk to the beach, couldn't be beat. That said, the condo itself was nothing to write home about. Small, not particularly clean, and literally no frills (tiny little soaps that last for one use, no coffee filters, horrible selection of pots and pans, rusty shower curtain bars, etc.). For some reason they had a huge dresser in the small bedroom that made it almost impossible to walk around to the other side of the queen bed. Good quality towels though. Was there on July 4. Amazing fireworks right off the pier which is right outside the door!
Response from VrboOwner on May 31, 2022
Thank you for taking the time to send us a review! Island Realty is delighted you had such a great week. The Sea Cabins is the best place to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July, you can do it right on your balcony!! Please note the owners will be doing some updates on this unit very soon and should be taking care of all these issues. Please feel free to come back next year and see all the changes that the owner have made!!

Location, Location, Location

Our 4th trip to IOP, but our first time staying at the Sea Cabins. We would definitely book again. Listing was accurate, and the Island Realty team was easy to work with and very responsive. Check-in and check-out process was super easy - even arriving after hours. Great communication throughout our stay via phone and text. Best feature of the Sea Cabins - location, hands down. Easy access to the beach, highway, shopping, restaurants (walking distance), and other local attractions. The unit was well equipped - typical (at least in our experience) with many other VRBO properties. As other reviews state, the unit had been remodeled/updated - very comfortable for two people. - four people would be workable, but crowded - especially with a single bath. Units are smaller without much separation between spaces. Perfect for my wife and I. Fabulous view of the beach and ocean, along with sounds of waves on the shore. Nice deck area with table/chairs - and beach chairs included. Only two constructive comments - 1) consider providing beach towels for those traveling by air who prefer not to pack, and 2) though remodeled and relatively clean, the unit could use a good deep clean and general touch up of paint and other surfaces. There was a little more wear and tear showing than anticipated. Overall - a fabulous visit. We will return !

Disappointed! Do not stay here.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We drove 7 1/2 hours to Isle of Palms with a seven month old and a 2 year old. The condition of the unit was very poor. The unit was musty/moldy smelling. There was something on the lamp that looked like dried vomit. Everytime the AC came on it blew out dirt. We covered the couch and chair with the sheets provided for the sofa bed. I continually swept the unit and wiped everything down. The bathroom was disgusting. The tub knobs had mildew on them as well as the shower head. I purchased Clorox wipes to clean the unit as well as a spray air freshener. We cut our vacation short due to the condition of the unit. We could not let our 7 month old crawl on the floor. We could not relax on this vacation. I am very disappointed in the condition of this unit as well as the pre-inspection that is supposedly completed prior to guests arriving. For the condition of this rental I believe it is way overpriced. I do not recommend this unit to anyone and I hope action is taken to improve this unit so future guests do not have to experience what we experienced. I feel we are deserving of a full refund.
Response from VrboOwner on May 30, 2022
Island Realty is very disapponted with this review. We strive for excellence in all our rentals. Island Realty sent our housekeeping supervisor out to rectify your housekeeping issues in the middle of Tropical Storm Hermine. Upon her arrival you were not present at the condo and it is Island Realty's policy to not enter a unit for an emergency clean without the guests being present. Our housekeeping supervisor did leave her card and housekeeping did try reach out again on Saturday to come out but I believe by then you had already left. Island Realty does wat to note that we did issue a refund as soon as your property manager was informed.
