The condo’s location is amazing. With each ebb and flow of the tides, the marsh transforms—a symphony of colors and textures. We sipped our morning coffee on the screened in balcony, while watching herons wade gracefully through the shallows, and at dusk, the sky blushed as the sun dipped below the horizon. The condo itself is a cozy haven. The open-plan living area invites relaxation, and the marsh-facing windows flood the space with natural light. We cooked leisurely meals in the well-equipped kitchen. Now, let’s talk comfort. Each bedroom comes with its own private bathroom. No more morning queues or awkward waits—just pure convenience. Away from the hustle and bustle, this rental offered us a chance to disconnect and recharge. No traffic noise, just the gentle rustle of marsh grasses and the occasional frog serenade. We decided to go full island mode and rented a street-legal golf cart (LSV). What a game-changer! We zipped around Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island, feeling the salty breeze in our hair. The best part? We used it for dinner outings too—no parking hassles, just pure fun. Don’t miss the Outpost at Isle of Palms Marina. It’s like a treasure trove! Grab a souvenir—a seashell necklace or a quirky T-shirt—as a memento of your island escape. Need a caffeine fix? Their coffee is top-notch. And when hunger strikes, the restaurant serves up fresh seafood with a side of ocean views. For the adventurous souls, book an excursion to Caper’s Island. We did, and it was unforgettable. Picture this: boating through winding creeks, spotting dolphins, and discovering hidden oyster beds. It’s a slice of Lowcountry paradise. Did I mention this condo doesn’t just have one balcony—it boasts two! Imagine sipping your morning coffee on one while watching the sunrise over the Atlantic, and then catching the sunset on the other as the marsh turns golden. It’s like havin

Very good location. Condo had a nice layout. Bedrooms were fine and having 3 bathrooms was a plus. However the living space furniture was beat. The two porches were too small to be very useful.

The unit was well equipped, clean and spacious. Enjoyed both porches overlooking the marsh. The location was quiet and loved the proximity to the golf range. Issues with a broken cable wire and burnt out lightbulbs were immediately addressed by Island Realty.

We were very satisfied with our unit. Worked out well. It was great because we had our unit and additional family rented a unit across the cul-de-sac so that was perfect. Everything was fine. Decor could use some freshening, but no big deal. It was clean which is the biggest things. Walk to the beach was about 10 mins, but easy. I would def. recommend .

We had a great time at Linkside 1! It was perfect for our family of 5. There was plenty of room, thr house was clean, it was quiet and peaceful, and just a short golf cart ride away from the beach. I would suggest renting a golf cart if you stay at this property just to make it easier to get to the beach. It had a beautiful view off of the porches to enjoy! Island Realty is always so easy to work with and super helpful! We will definitely be renting through them again in the future. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

After this past year my family and I needed a relaxing vacation, a time to unwind and get away from everything. We had stayed in this house in 2019 and enjoyed the spacious rooms and the screened back patio overlooking the marsh. The area is quiet with lots of wildlife to watch. We did a lot of walking and the kids rented bikes. We spent hours on the beach, ate lots of seafood and avoided the news. It was perfect!

We had a wonderful time at Linkside 1!! We were so grateful for the experience! There was plenty of space for our family! It is a long trek to the beach, so we would suggest renting a golf cart for your stay and using golf cart beach access points. The condo is decorated nicely, was very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay!

We were sent to a house that had not been vacuumed and the air conditioning was not working. Upon arrival I immediately called housekeeping and they came right out to vacuum. However, we noticed it was 85 degrees in the house and just thought maybe previous renters left it high or perhaps no one was in the week before. The cleaning "card" also was signed by Jennifer, dated 7/5. We arrived on 7/12. Made me think it hadn't been cleaned at all.
After unloading in the sweltering heat I called maintenance to get the garage pin code (not provided during checkin). It was only then that Mike informed me that the air conditioning was not working and that an HVAC guy would be out between 8-9:00pm. He came at 9:00pm. It was a huge inconvenience and the first level of the house didn't cool down until the next am.
I called Island Realty to speak to someone regarding the issue multiple times. Linda (property manager) never returned my last phone call. They made no attempt to offer any type of compensation or apologies. I would not use Island Realty again.
The house itself is in a great quiet community. Spacious, well appointed, comfy beds. Like previous reviews, there are some maintenance issues (MB shower slight mold), ceiling fan on porch doesn't really work, kitchen could use some bowls, but these are minor.
We drove to the beach and parked at one of the close condo buildings. Had no issues with parking there even though it said you weren't supposed to. It's too long to walk to the beach access, especially when it's so hot with all your gear.
Golf courses were shut down Thursday due to COVID, we got our round in Wednesday just in time.
If Island Realty had reached out and offered some compensation this review would have been better. The house itself is very nice.

We enjoyed the peace and the solitude, but there were a few items about the condo that caused us to have to call maintenance 4 - 5 times. The ceiling fan on the rear deck quit working, and they told us they would have to order a new one. The jetted tub in the master bathroom's motor died after 1 day, and they told us they would have to order a part for it.

The code they gave us for the garage door was wrong, and maintenance had to come out and reprogram it. The unit itself was spotlessly clean, very quiet and otherwise very enjoyable.
We invited our son, daughter-in-law and grandson out to go swimming in the pool only to find out after they had arrived that the pool had been closed for the season even though it was 85 degrees outside.

We never did figure out the guest pass situation as we were told that we had two car passes, and we would have to meet any guests at the gate, and give them one of the passes. We had my son and daughter-in-law come visit, and after I had driven to the front gate, I found that security had already issued them a pass.
My daughter was coming out to see us, so I stopped at the gate, and asked them what the procedure was. They asked for her name, and the address for the condo, and they told me that there would be a 1-day pass waiting for her.
It was a peaceful week that was marred by little things, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

This is our 4th time to reserve this property for the Volvo Car Open Week. The fact that the property gives us access to free tennis courts is a big plus. For six of us, the 3 bed/3bath, open floor plan is ideal.

Notes to owner: We feel that the mattresses are ready for replacement/or at least a memory foam topper. The furniture in the twin bedroom has been rearranged...the bedside table has been moved to the side...this puts those twin beds too close together...better with the table in between the beds. Also, the bath for the twin bedroom has some tile/grout issues. There were two recycling regular trash cart??? Just FYI.

This property is beautiful overall. Great kitchen with lots of extras for a vacation rental, like a food processor, lots of glasses and utinsels and plenty of pots and pans. There is even a waffle iron.
When we arrived we noticed some things that were missed when it was cleaned: sticky spots on the stovetop and fridge, stairs that needed to be vacuumed, hair on the bathroom floor. Nothing major, but kind of gross. Also, one of the windows in the living room didn't shut all the way, so it was a bit warm in that room.
We loved being so close to the pool, but beach access was definitely an issue. With 5 kids, having to pile everyone into the car and find parking near a beach access was a pain. Enough so that we probably wouldn't rent this property again.

The Wild Dunes was a nice gated community with many "mini" communities inside. Our Linkside villa was extremely nice and well maintained. A few minute walk to the beach. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Bonnie kept us from enjoying the outside, but that made it all the more important to have comfortable accommodations. About a 30 minute drive to downtown Charleston.

The view from the balcony is lovely! We enjoyed watching deer and other wildlife. Very comfortable accommodations. Loved the Jacuzzi tub! One recommendation - we took the key back to the rental office as per the check out instructions. They made us take it back and put it in the lockbox. Need to let guests know that or change printed instructions.

We were in Charleston area for a family wedding which became a family reunion. The Villa accommodated two young couples with their child and the hosting grandparents. There was a nice balance of privacy and gathering spaces to eat, cook, play music and just to hang out. The villa was very clean and beautifully decorated. The granite topped island in our kitchent was great for laying out a buffet and for munching on appetizers. The faucet needed repair which was complete within 30 minutes of our reporting it. We were disappointed that the pool was closed for swimming although the weather was beautiful. It was frustrating to have the recycle bins locked just beneath the stairway and instructions to deposit recycling in town. Finally maintenance offered to pick up the bags from our driveway. I usually bring some dishwasher tablets and some liquid for washing its in the sink. The stovetop needs its own product and we needed more than 1/2 a dishtowel to keep the kitchen up well. We ended up using a face cloth and a couple of hand towels instead. We also missed a simple picnic style salt and pepper. I have rented about 25 condos in CA, FL, VT, NY, SC, AL, and TN. I took salt and pepper, coffee filters, dish towels and cleaning products with me until I saw that they were routinely provided. This was the first place in years that did not provide these basics. This is a small way to let the renters know that they are welcome.

The Linkside Villa ! property in Wild Dunes resort is lovely. It's spacious, clean and has a fabulous kitchen. We enjoyed the marsh view when especially in the morning you could see a wide variety of bird, deer and other wild life. The hike to the nearest beach access is a little far, but not unbearable. All in all it was a lovely stay.

The condo was great. It was very spacious and clean. It was very misleading to think you could walk to the beach. There is no easy access to the beach. Also was not happy that the office made us wait until exactly 400pm to give us the code to get in. The condo was clean and inspected because we sat in the parking lot and never saw anyone come near the condo.We had to call 5 times to get the code for the key
