Lovely home with many bedrooms
Overall, this home was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. There were plentiful bedrooms and bathrooms, which suited the seven of us very well. There was a place inside for us to gather, a place outside on the deck for us together, and a place in a screened in porch for us together. Quite nice. My only hesitation from giving five stars was that with this lovely home and lovely amenities, the management seems to be rather stingy on superficial things. For instance, there wasn’t enough toilet paper for our stay. We only needed one or two more rolls, but had to deal with the harassment of going for more. Plus, it would be nice if there were a couple things in the cupboard, like I’ve seen at other VRBO homes. Absolutely nothing. No oil for the frying pan, no coffee for just the first night. For ourselves, we left our leftover jar of natural peanut butter in the cupboard. Will it be there for the next renters or will it be thrown out? By just spending a few more dollars, it would’ve been a little more convenient for us. But other than that, it was lovely. Very near the beach, and very pretty.

The house was located perfectly, but we did need two golf carts to get around. The house was not cleaned as I would have liked- the floors through out the house were very dirty. All in all , the place was nice for our big family & made a lot of memories!

Thank you for a fantastic weekend! We went as a girls group to celebrate my sister getting married and the house was fantastic! It was clean, well stocked in the kitchen had ample space for all the guests and super comfortable with a cute beachy decor vibe!! Definitely would recommend for a nice vacation close to Charleston and right down the street from the beach!

Fabulous Wild Dunes Rental!
This was the perfect rental for our group of 5 - 3 adults and 2 kids. Although I’m sure the house would also be comfortable for a bigger group. The house was beautiful and perfectly stocked. We rented bikes which was a lot of fun. The beach was a short walk down the street using a staircase that exits wild dunes to the beaches on the other side of the street. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect home
This was the perfect house for our group. We had many laughs and had some great memories. Our party consisted of 10 women ranging from 27-70 on a girls weekend getaway. The house accommodated all 10 of us easily. 4 full bathrooms and a 1/2 bath meant no one had to wait long. The house was clean, the deck was wonderful and we spent most of our time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc needed to make breakfast and we grilled one night for our dinner. After dinner we roasted marshmallows over there fire pit for dessert. The showers were hot and had terrific water pressure. I can’t speak for all the beds but mine was comfortable and I felt well rested. The location was amazing. Every morning some of us (and the last day all of us) walked the short walk to the beach to watch the sunrise. It was an amazing weekend and we would happily stay again.

Great place for a relaxing stay!
Me and my friends absolutely loved our stay at Whale of a Time. It’s the perfect location for a relaxing weekend, the neighborhood is beautiful for walks and access to the beach. The screened in porch was our favorite spot of the house along with the common area/den! The house, although very spacious had a homey vibe to it. And the landlords were wonderful, sent helpful tips and were quick to respond to questions! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

So glad we booked this house
We've loved our IOP house! Inside the Wild Dunes Resort, very clean, very spacious, a short walk to the beach. We found plenty of beach gear in the garage - chairs, boards, toys, a couple of umbrellas. Communication was great, we checked in very late but going through the gates couldn't have been easier. Highly recommended!

We had a great long weekend at Whale of a Time. The beach was a quick 10 minute walk. The house fit all 10 of us comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed. The smoke detector in one room started beeping, they sent someone immediately to fix. Communication with property management company was quick and easy. It was the perfect weekend.

Family Christmas Vacation
This property was situated in a nice community. The house does back to the road so if you are outside or in the screened porch area you will get some road noise. (This isn't bad - but you can hear it- only outside. Never heard any noise while in the house.) The kitchen was well stocked with basically any type of cooking or baking dish needed. There were lots of separate sitting areas within the main living room which gave everyone an opportunity to be together but do their own thing if that's what they wanted. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We would book again!!
