The house couldn’t have been any better! It was clean, welcoming, stocked, gorgeous and the hosts were extremely responsive and very kind. They truly thought of everything, and even left a small gift upon entering the home. I will absolutely be booking this home again if/when I return to SC. I’ve never had such an easy rental!

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!

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!

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.

" Whale of a Time" provided a wonderful home base for our family vacation to Isle of Palms.

" Whale of a Time" provided a wonderful home base for our family vacation to Isle of Palms. My wife and I visited from New York with our two kids (ages 6 and 9) as part of an extended family gathering(10 total ranging from grandparents to kindergartners). We stayed for one week in mid-August and had never stayed in Isle of Palms before. The house was a very relaxing and functional place to relax after a full day of activities. We spent nights enjoying the open layout of the kitchen and family room and made good use of the grill and screened in porch. It was a short walk to the beach off 51st Ave, or a quick golf cart ride to the 21st Ave access point by the boardwalk. The shallow and warm water allowed the whole family to enjoy hours in the ocean. The location within the gated Wild Dunes community also offered a private and convenient place for morning walks. We made great family memories during our stay here and would highly recommend this property!

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.
