We loved our stay at Wild Dunes. It was a nice relaxing 5 day trip that we truly enjoyed. They have fun activities for the whole family. We loved the boardwalk! The ice cream shop was fun! We ate at the letter olive three times during our stay and we were happy each visit.

We had a wonderful time at the hotel and the resort even though the wind was blowing in off the ocean at 40 mph. The room was very comfortable with a King bed, couch and desk and a balcony with a bit of an ocean view. With one small exception the staff was very helpful and exuded Southern charm. The... More

Nice big clean rooms. Beautiful grounds. Friendly helpful staff. The market is great for grabbing a quick sandwich and both restaurants have terrific food. It was rainy and cool while I was here so I didn't get to check out the beach or pool.

After reviewing many places for stay in Charleston, we decided to stay at the Wild Dunes. We got the two bedroom condos which are tastefully decorated. You are close to the beach and a short 10 minute walk got us to the beach. We saw the sun rise out there. Some of the activities on the premises are biking, swimming,... More

Just spent four days enjoying Charleston with girlfriends and Wild Dunes Boardwalk Inn was one of the best places I've ever stayed! We love the beach and because it is so close to the city we had the perfect mix of enjoying Charleston and the serenity of an ocean front hotel. Great pools, spotless accommodations and a wonderful friendly staff.... More

Wild Dunes is really great (and very well known) -- so the best time to go is off-season. Less people; less hassle. The staff is more than accommodating and if you're not happy -- they'll fix it. We rented a four bedroom house and it was more than enough room for eight people -- and right on the boardwalk to... More

My family and I recently rented a 3 bedroom condo at Shipwatch in Wild Dunes. The first place we reserved we were denied. The resort manager claimed the owner needed to access his place during our stay, so they were moving us. Our condo was more than spacious, but the place needed a deep clean. It was old, poorly decorated... More

This is an extremely densely developed report on the ocean. Golf, tennis, boats, it's all there but packed in tight. We were there with a convention and got stuck in the overflow rooms...quiet, but just average for a hotel room, and not worth the very high rates we were paying. Charleston is a pretty good hike away, for sightseeing and... More

This property has one big problem. It might not bother some people, but when I go to a place like this, I don't want to hear a constant barrage of noise. But for the noise, it would be a true sanctuary of peace. I can understand various construction and landscape equipment noise during the weekdays, but not on the weekends.... More
