216 C Shipwatch by AvantStay | Pool + Balcony + Ocean Views | Walk to Beach

_Note: The Shipwatch complex will be undergoing renovations from November 12, 2026 through February 2027. Each building is expected to be impacted for approximately 6–8 weeks during the project. While the condos will remain accessible, the work is expected to be extremely loud at times, and the ocean side of the affected buildings will be covered in scaffolding._

_Due to the anticipated impact of this project, rates have been discounted accordingly. If you have questions about the project timeline or the anticipated work for a specific building, please contact our local office prior to booking._

_Please note that reservations booked at these currently discounted rates will not be eligible for relocation or additional compensation due to construction noise, scaffolding, or other impacts associated with the renovation project after arrival._

Set directly across from the Shipwatch pool complex at Wild Dunes, 216 C Shipwatch is a two-bedroom condo built for the kind of family beach trip everyone actually wants — low on logistics, high on swim-snack-nap rhythm. The location is the headline: step out the door and you're poolside at one of the largest pools on Isle of Palms, complete with a dedicated children's pool and travertine tile surround. The community also includes a beach gazebo with an observation deck, manicured lawns, and one of only two playgrounds inside Wild Dunes Resort — so the kids can swing, splash, and scope the Atlantic all in the same afternoon.

Inside, the condo is laid out for easy group living. The private balcony looks out over the pool and catches peeks of the ocean beyond — a prime spot for morning coffee before the beach crowds roll in. The living room anchors around an oversized sofa with plenty of room to sprawl after a long day in the sun, and the kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to a full seafood spread. Pro tip: drive ten minutes to the docks on Shem Creek and grab fresh catch straight from the boats — shrimp, flounder, or whatever came in that morning.

The king-bedded primary suite is bright and breezy, with sliding glass doors to the balcony and double doors opening to a spacious ensuite bath. The second bedroom is a kid-zone dream with two twin beds and its own bathroom, and a sleeper sofa in the living area keeps things flexible for extra guests. High-speed Wi-Fi, a full-size washer/dryer, and starter supplies round out the essentials.

Wild Dunes itself is a gated resort community on the northern tip of Isle of Palms — a barrier island about 25 minutes from downtown Charleston. That proximity is the sweet spot: quiet, walkable beach days at home, and cobblestone strolls, rooftop bars, and Lowcountry dinners in the city whenever the mood strikes. Sullivan's Island, with its legendary oyster bars and Fort Moultrie, is just across the connector. Shem Creek's waterfront seafood restaurants are a short drive. And the beach — the real reason you're here — is a quick walk from your door.

Ideally located, this beach house on the Isle of Palms is an easy drive to Sullivan’s Island, Mount Pleasant and Historic Charleston. Sullivan’s Island (7 miles) features Fort Moultrie and wonderful dining options along Middle Street. In Mount Pleasant (8 miles), your family will want to visit Boone Hall Plantation with its avenue of oaks, the USS Yorktown, Town Center shopping and the restaurants lining the shrimp docks on Shem Creek. Finally, Historic Charleston (17 miles) is the number one tourism destination in the United States and offers some of the world’s finest restaurants, galleries, historic homes and gardens.
