I love Shipwatch and have rented from Island Reality for years and find them competent and professional. Problems are always fixed quickly. This property has a good view, good porch, good pool and is nicely updated with 2 exceptions: 1.The couches are so bad as to be unsittable for more than a few minutes for the 2 of us in our 60s (the 2 in their 20s had less of a problem but still noticed) we ended watching TV in the evening in bed. Others have complained that the master bed was much hard so I brought my memory foam pad and had no problem, firmness is a preference issue not a quality issue but I was glad to be forewarned! 2. The rugs are old and need to be replaced or thrown away. They smell bad enough to be quite unpleasant when you enter the condo. You do get use to the odor fairly quickly.

We had a good time. The location was great, right on the beach. The view from this unit is great! The furnishings in this condo were a bit dated but, everything was comfortable and clean. We did see some roaches/palmetto bugs during our stay in the unit but I imagine that's a common issue with doors opening and closing in the area. The only other issue that comes to mind was that the outdoor showers you use to wash sand off we're not function During the last two days of our stay due to A maintenance issue with the irrigation system. The pool was nice and there seem to be plenty of convenient parking.

The folks at Island Realty were friendly and helpful, but the owner of this property needs to upgrade the furnishings. Sofa was extremely uncomfortable as was the bed in master. Large tub in Master bath made it almost impossible to get in and out of shower.

We normally stay on Ocean Blvd but rented on Wild Dunes this time. The condo was very nice but a bit further from the beach than we normally experience. We had a very nice stay and will be staying at the same place next year.

This rental was a disappointment. The mattress was extremely hard, like a box, in the master bedroom. The tub did not have a stopper. The pull out sofa had cracker crumbs in it. The twin bedspreads were older than I am, smelled bad and would not even stay on the beds while sleeping. It really does not cost that much to upgrade bedding and mattresses. It smelled bad like mold and mildew which was probably the furniture. The HVAC returns and vents were dirty and moldy. The owner needs to update it. I wish I would have looked at the previous reviews before spending the money. But lesson learned...I will look next time. I will not rent this unit again. And will try to post on social media for renters in the future to keep looking before renting this unit. The only positive was the view. Hopefully the owners will take the reviews seriously and go in to update what is needed in this unit.
