This was a lovely unit. Well furnished and stocked, nicely updated and cared for. Communication was great. Check in was super easy. Best of all, this is an amazing area - quieter and more relaxed than much of the island. Loved it and will definitely return!

Very nice place to stay!

This is our first time staying in this condo at Wild Dunes. We've stayed in several different condos in the Port O' Call complex and this one ranks up there with the nicer ones. The decor is very nice and communication from the manager is top notch. It is very convenient being on the ground floor and perfect for two. I would recommend this condo and the price is comparable to the rest of the nicer places this time of year(summer). We will stay here again in the future.

Cate Villa is a great location on the beach!

My husband and I enjoyed our week long stay on Isle of Palms. The Villa was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was just yards away from the screened in porch. The beach was located just beyond the pool. Views of the ocean can be seen from the porch. A nice vacation getaway. Kelli B.

Have stayed at Port O Call a number of times.

Nice property. We like the Port O Call properties and have stayed at a number of different properties. This one was very nice, comfortable well equipped. I think it was a great idea to have the wagon and chairs for traveling down to the beach. Would return on our next trip. We really enjoy the laid back feel of Isle of Palns, Sullivan Island area. Thanks for the opportunity to use your place.

Relaxing

We had a great time in the Wild Dunes resort staying in the Port o Call condo. Property was just as described. You could see the ocean from the condo and it was just a few steps away from the pool and a few more to the beach. There was a nice barrier of bushes between the unit and the pool which provided a nice bit of privacy. I am so glad we stayed on the first floor as it was a few steps down to nice manicured lawn where my husband and boys played football and frisbee. We will be back!

Do not recommend

I usually don’t leave reviews but I feel this is absolutely warranted for other travelers. This room was booked very last minute, but that being said, I would not recommend this room at all. I wish someone would have left this review for me prior to booking. I’m amazed that people actually left 5 star reviews which makes me also question if these were real reviews by real people. The door to enter the unit should have been my first clue. Once you enter the unit, you are hit with a very strong, musty smell. The living room and kitchen areas are nice. The porch needs more than just some TLC, but the view and convenience almost made up for it. If you’re looking for a comfy, relaxing atmosphere, forget about it! This was by the far the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. There’s a huge hump in the middle and your head actually sits lower than the rest of your body. The pillows were paper thin. I questioned if the sheets had even been washed prior to our arrival. Combined with the stained dresser, disgusting trash can, and overall smell, I’m amazed I slept at all. It’s hard to say when the last time that bathroom was thoroughly cleaned. There was a layer of dust on the cabinets and toilet wand. The kicker was the MOLD and mildew in the shower. There were numerous black patches on the tiles and round black spots on the ceilings. I struggled day by day to just pack up and leave, but stayed because I didn’t think we had another option. Just know that you do have options and this should not be one of them.
