Our stay was excellent. It has way better ocean views than in the photos. Outside balcony could use some attention as far as cleaning. Unit was not ready at 4 as promised but it was ready about 415 so we had to wait. Door lock was finicky. If you’re patient you will be ok.

Great stay at Isle of Palms Shipwatch 306A

Shipwatch is perfectly located just far enough off the main drag to minimize traffic but close enough to require only short drives to restaurants and shopping. The properties are a short walk to the huge beach of IOP. We had plenty of room to sleep our 6. There is room to sleep 8, and there are three full baths. We would stay here again.

Last Minute Amazing Trip

My family and I were supposed to go to Florida and seen a hurricane coming and decided to switch to Charleston a day before leaving. We found this gem and it was perfect! Views of the ocean, short walk to the pool. Have to drive to shops and restaurants but its only 10 min down the road. Beds are a little squeaky and some reviews complained about dated furniture but it served its purpose. Would stay here again

Disliked: Check-in
They undersold the view on the description. Great condo. Comfortable snd lots of towels! However, the keypad lock on the door is SO temperamental, I would replace it! It took us several times, waiting in between, to get in. The next time, worked the first time. Next time it took 6 tries to get in. Frustrating. You have to hold your mouth just right!Also, it would be helpful to have the correct wifi network and password in the checkin email. We didn’t know until 2nd day the the correct one was on the refrigerator. Email should direct you to that if that is where you put it. The pool fobs didn’t work. We had to flag down one of the landscape people. He said, “Oh yeah, those never work.” He gave us the code so we got in. We couldn’t get the TV to stream any movies. Error msg. Try again later. ??Great location - corner, close to elevator, close to pool, close to beach path. Enjoyed our stay despite the little frustrations.

Beautiful view from our room & family room of the ocean and sunrise. Condo could use updating, one more bedroom with a bigger bed would have been nice,, and a fridge with a water filter. Overall, everything thing was good, and we had a nice visit with family for Thanksgiving.

Inside of home was very dusty and dirty. We found nail clippings under the couch, hair in the bathroom, coffee pot was very dirty and baseboard through out home was filthy. The guest bathroom shower wasn't working properly nor the toilet. Recliner was broken, blinds was broken and air didn't cool the bedrooms very well. The beach was close by as well as the pool.

Very nice unit, great beach

This is a very nice end unit with a nice view of a very nice uncrowded beach. The only ding is the doors to the master bathroom. These are an example of form over function. Solid doors would be much more appropriate. All said, this is our second trip to this beach and property; we would rent this unit again without hesitation. Avoid the BBQ place at the boardwalk.
