No problems with checkin. Clean condo in a quiet location. The island can get crowded and traffic backs up at times during peak season. A little overpriced for a week rental in my opinion but enjoyed the stay for somewhere different.
The property is in a gated community, which decreasd beach traffic and made our days in the sun more enjoyable. The accommodations were spacious enough for my family and everything we needed was there. Great balcony view and great local restaurants, too.
This was a perfect place to rest and relax! Easy beach and pool access. Great location for an easy drive into Charleston for excursions. We enjoyed beach walks, sunset dinners with
dolphins, tour of Fort Sumter, Schooner Pride day sail, Palmetto Carriage ride of the city, a night cheering on the RiverDogs baseball team and many wonderful places for happy hour/dinner.
This is our second stay in this unit. Shipwatch is a great location (the reason for the three stars) but this unit is in desperate need of a few upgrades. Kitchen counter was broken off over dishwasher, couch needs replaced, some rust on the bathroom fixtures, to name a few.
Nice, basic unit looking out over the water. It was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Vacasa is completely automated and does not respond to small requests. Luckily we did not have anything major that we needed, just a few small broken items like lightbulbs, batteries and the toaster.
The condo and the location were great, the only issue I had was that the pool tiles were very dirty, that was pretty off-putting as we are big pool people, and it made me wonder about the overall cleanliness of the pool. Everything else was lovely.
Love this place, felt it was as as advertised. It was clean when we arrived. We love staying in the gated community of Wild Dunes so this was perfect for my family. The only con that we found was the shower in the master bedroom was raised but the shower head was not. My husband had to slightly bend to get under the shower head, but that was minor.
The beach was clean and not very crowded. Shipwatch needs to reconfigure some of their parking spaces to allow for people to get to the beach without navigating between a column and parked car that completely blocks the only stepless access. Our unit had tiles missing from the kitchen counter and exposed moldy wood. When reported to Vacasa they blamed it on the previous guest. This was clearly a long term problem.
From the time we arrived until the day we left, the area was perfect. The community was beautiful and felt very safe. Walking in the mornings was very relaxing and refreshing!
The room location couldnât be beat, we were even surprised by the view of the beach from the balcony. The condo was well kept, clean, and the bed slept well. No noise noticed from the neighbors; every now and again, you could hear water being ran or flushed from the upstairs but that wasnât bad at all.
The parking spaces underneath the building are very small are a little tricky to get into. Larger vehicles may struggle getting in and out when itâs crowded (but there are spaces around the building too).Very kid friendly. Easy walk to the beach, and they even had beach chairs and sand toys to use⊠Iâll definitely be back as soon as I can!
We always enjoy the beach at Wild Dunes but had a major sewage smell in the master bath. Unable to use shower and all had to use the remaining bathroom. Had to use lots of spray and keep the doors shut. Also a gnat problem probably due to the sewage smell. The unit was not properly cleaned and had to purchase coffee maker and cleaning supplies. Unit should not be rented until sewage problems resolved.
