Wonderful
The house was very clean, comfortable and close to the beach. The only negative was that Google maps took us to the back of the house where there were no house identification. After walking up trail to the house and discovering we had to walk around to find the front of the house , we discovered the correct road to the house.

Great beach week
Good location with easy one block walk to uncrowded section of beach. House was clean and comfortable. No beach equipment available so you need to rent. Stair was broken on arrival but property manager responded quickly and it was fixed a few days later. Overall a great week at the beach.

Property just inside the Wild Dunes gate
Enjoyed the property with grill and deck great place to be! The path to the beach had warning of snakes and I am not a lover of snakes. The bedrooms stack for great privacy. The extra room with television would be great for children or two families. Love the house.

We met our friends from Boston in Charleston and stayed here for the weekend. There was a total of 4 adults and 5 kids/teens. There was plenty of space for everyone and the location/easy access to the beach was great. The management team was responsive when we needed a few things and they took care of it quickly. We would definitely stay again!

Friends Reunion
Our stay overall was great! The beds were comfy and the house was clean. Beach access was easy and super convenient. The only things that were minor issues were the doors. The patio door is really difficult to open and the front door doesn’t stay shut without the dead bolt. Also, none of the doors in the house really latched. It’s also important to note that this house can only sleep 12 and that’s if you have two in each bed and two on the sleeper sofa. When I originally booked it said sleeps 14.

Great base for exploring Charleston and Isle of Palms
Amy's house provided a great base for exploring Charleston and the Isle of Palms during the three nights my wife, daughter, mother-in-law, and I stayed there between Christmas and New Year's. It's an easy 30-minute drive to Charleston and, as advertised, literally a 3-minute walk to a gorgeous, long, clean beach. Directions were clear and check-in was easy. The house was spacious and immaculately clean, with comfortable beds, nice spaces for lounging, and a well-supplied kitchen. It's somewhat close to the street on one side but noise was negligible, and the deck on that side still felt private. We're happy we chose it.

Great for our party of 10, but lacked basic items
Amazing house and location. It fit 10 of us perfectly and we loved the ease to the beach. The reason I’m giving 4 stars are due to some inconveniences we experienced while at the property.
The house comes with “kits” which is not enough for anyone to get by for three days. With the kits, we never received shampoo or conditioner, so we were left with having to go to the store and purchase many simple items to last 3 days.
No beach towels and one towel per person, so we had to do loads of laundry, just to keep clean
They didn’t have anything in the kitchen in terms of laundry pods, dish soap, trash bags, dishwasher soap or any spices/olive oil. We had to purchase many things that just ended up being thrown out, since we all flew in.
Another issue is that they did not allow us to lower the thermostat below 72, which made sleeping over night uncomfortable for us. Kind of silly that we spent so much to not be able to control our temperature.
If I were driving into this location, these small issues wouldn’t be a big deal but due to us all flying with carry on bags, these were extreme inconveniences for us.
