The Sandcastle | Oceanfront with Screened Porch & Direct Beach Access

The Sandcastle at 104 F Port O Call

Sandcastle at 104 F Port O Call is a completely renovated oceanfront condominium that not only offers spectacular views but has direct access to beach.

Beach Access Update — Port O’ Call F Building

Mother Nature reminded us this winter who’s really in charge, and an early season storm caused some notable beach erosion in this stretch of shoreline. As a proactive step to protect the dunes and property, temporary measures have been installed — including a sandbag breakwater and sand berms behind it.
The good news? The beach is absolutely still there to be enjoyed.

Guests can access it easily just south of the F Building near the swimming pool. We’ve included a current photo in the listing so you can see exactly what conditions look like right now — no surprises, just good planning.
As always, if you have questions or want local tips once you arrive, we’re here to help. Around here we believe a great vacation is about rolling with the tides — and making the most of every moment on the island.

Highlights:
Oceanfront with a large screen porch
Direct beach access from porch
Expertly designed and renovated

Sleeping Accommodations:
Oceanfront Suite:  King bed
Living Room:  Sleeper Sofa
Foyer: Twin Day Bed

After a recent renovation, Sandcastle at 104 F Port O Call features a well-appointed kitchen with all stainless-steel appliances, new cabinetry, and hard surface countertops. The upgraded bath is highlighted with a large walk-in shower with beautiful tile work. Finally, the Sandcastle has all new flooring, new furnishings, and fresh paint.

The oceanfront bedroom has a comfortable king bed. To accommodate a small family, “Sandcastle” also features a sleeper sofa in the living area as well as a daybed in the large foyer. This extra arrangement makes 104 F Port O Call perfect for a family of four.

Clean property with great beach access

We loved our stay at The Sandcastle. The condo is perfect for a couple who enjoys the beach. We loved walking right out of the condo and onto the sand. It is also close to downtown Charleston as well as other restaurants and activities if you don't want to spend all your time on the beach. Michael is a great host who made us feel prepared with his recommendations!

ON the beach - beautiful, clean, well equipped condo, gorgeous view, excellent property managers

We enjoyed a very relaxed and comfortable week at the IOP in this condo! Probably the very best one bedroom condo with have stayed in on the Isle of Palms. Michael was very helpful and pleasant to work with. We will definitely rent the condo again!

Fantastic stay!

We had a wonderful week in this unit. The communication leading up to and during our stay was the best we have ever had. Lots of good info on things to do, restaurants, etc. The condo was one of the cleanest we have been in and everything was as listed on the details of the condo.. We had no issues, everything worked perfectly and we enjoyed being able to walk right out the screened in porch to the beach. This is our fifth stay at Wild Dunes and one of the best ones due to location, quality of the condo, location and the owners who were fantastic. Would definitely come back.

Beautiful Beach location!

Amazing location, loved being able to walk out the front porch right on to the beach! The unit could use some renovations in the bathroom and kitchen areas, and the rug in the family room was very hard and uncomfortable to walk on. Overall love staying in Wild dunes, the beach is unbelievably gorgeous!

Perfect spot - right on the beach!

We have stayed in many different Port O'Call villas through the years, and this one is by far the best-situated. It's right on the beach. Even though it rained one day while we were there, we were able to enjoy sitting on the screened porch and feeling the breeze. Can't wait to return next year!

It was a great location!

We liked the fact that the condo was right on the beach! A few things in the condo were a little rough, especially the cookware, we had to go out an buy a skillet. All in all we had a good time, despite the weather--we were there for all the flooding a couple of weeks ago. The beach is fantastic.

Most comfortable bed and best view of the beach!

My husband and I spent a week at 104F Port of Call and found the unit to be in a perfect spot! It is very nice, clean, the porch is awesome, the view is marvelous and the sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep each night. We were completely relaxed. Thank you to the owners for sharing this treat. I hope we can come back next year!

Oceanfront paradise

Our favorite part of this first-floor condo was the screened-in porch - simply open the door and you are steps away from the beach. New stainless appliances, washer, dryer, and plenty of amenities. Plenty of storage, a large master bedroom, and an updated bathroom with a walk-in shower.
