Need A Break? Head to The Beach! This adorable, well-stocked, Wild Dunes Beach Villa sits just a block to the beach. It's located 20 minutes outside of historic Charleston, in the exclusive island Golf community of Wild Dunes on Isle Of Palms.
At this Racquet Club Villa, you will be centrally located to enjoy all of the world-class amenities of the Wild Dunes resort. This Villa has a coveted, premier location within Wild Dunes, directly across from the resort's main Golf, Swim, Tennis, and Playground areas. It's just a half block to the Grand Pavilion Boardwalk area and a short walk to the beach. The beach access path is to the left of the tennis courts, directly in front of the Villa.
When you enter this lovely home, you will instantly feel 'right at home' with the peaceful, 'Lowcountry' Lagoon water views. You'll have a spacious, easy-flowing floor plan, perfect for relaxing and entertaining friends and family. This Villa is one of the largest in Wild Dunes and is very open and spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. The Great Room, Dining Room and Kitchen all share this open, easy-flowing space.
The Great Room sports a 50", flat screen, streaming-enabled Roku HDTV, and a 'palm frond' Ceiling fan. All of the sofas and the club chair in this main Living Room are high-end leather, super-comfy, and 'nap-friendly'! The Great Room flows into the Dining Room (seats 6), plus there are 2 seats at the Kid-Friendly, Kitchen Bar. There is also a 'Pottery Barn' Game Table / Work Area with 4 chairs, and plenty of games, puzzles, and books to keep everyone happy- Plus Extreme, 800 MB Wi-Fi, so you can 'work comfortably' if you need to while enjoying the restful Lagoon Views!
The roomy Kitchen has Stainless Steel Appliances, Granite Counters w/ a Raised, Eat-In Bar and Ceramic Tile Back Splash. This Kitchen is EXTREMELY well stocked, w/ all of the utensils, appliances, and entertaining pieces you could ask for, including 2 coffee makers, a Keurig, Crock Pot, power blender, serving / baking essentials- what WE would want in a "home away from home". All of the serving pieces complement the decor of this darling Villa, so you can invite friends and family over and entertain with ease.
This is a very comfy, laid back, well-equipped, 'easy entertaining, family & friends-having-a-great-time' beach house that is comfortably furnished with all of the essentials of home.
The porches in this beautiful Villa are everywhere! There is a Screened Porch w/ a Ceiling Fan and a large, round dining table with 7 chairs right off the Great Room & Dining Room, that's perfect for 'Al-fresco' dining or playing cards with family and friends, and another deck off the main living area. Two of the porches have a 'Lowcountry', water view and overlook the peaceful Lagoon. There's also a deck overlooking the Lagoon off the Master Bedroom and another deck off the Mid Level (2nd floor) / Dual Master Bedroom that overlooks the tennis courts. There's plenty of seating on all porches to offer relaxing, 'chilling out' spaces for everyone.
This darling, 3-level Villa sleeps 8 and has 3 Bedrooms, each with its own, private, Full Bath. One, Dual Master Bedroom is located just five steps up to the 'mid-level' and has a Queen sized bed with Luxury, 'Hotel-Quality' sheets and pillows and a super soft 'pillow-soft' mattress cover (we actually sleep better in these beds than the ones we have at home)! This 2nd Master Bedroom has a newly Upgraded Bath with an Over-sized, Pebble-Floor Shower and its own deck that overlooks the tennis courts.
The main Master Bedroom is HUGE- located at the rear of the Villa on the top floor, away from the hubbub of the main living area. This Master Bedroom sports a King bed with those same 'Hotel-Quality' Bamboo Sheets and 'pillow-soft' mattress covers, plus a Twin + Twin Trundle bed, a Private Bath w/ 2 sinks, a Jacuzzi tub, a Reading Nook with a comfy Loveseat, and its own, Private Deck that overlooks the quiet, peaceful Lagoon- plus a 40" Roku TV.
The 3rd Bedroom is also located on the top level and has 2 twin beds with those same comfy sheets and pillows, and a Full Bath with a tub (and shower wand!) for the kids.
All beds have luxury, cooling Bamboo sheets w/ thick, pillow-soft mattress covers, for maximum, "Hotel-Quality" comfort. The Secondary BR's have new, 32", flat-screen, Cable / Roku TV's (the Great Room has a 50" Roku TV and the Master BR has a 40" TV). All BR's and the Great Room and Screened Porch have Ceiling Fans.
The entire main floor is very open and spacious. The living room, dining room, and kitchen all share this open, flowing space and there's a high-top table for working at home with EXTREME, 800 GB, secure Internet.
This Villa is just steps to Woody's Restaurant, which offers breakfast all day, lunch / Happy Hour (they have a bar with beer, wine & limited liquor for Bloody Mary's, etc.).
Our Vacation Guests have the use of two incredible, Tom Fazio-designed golf courses, a world-class spa, and a nearby pool.

You will have access to a nearby pool.
The 'Hotel' pools are only available to hotel guests, though you may eat at the restaurants at any time that are beside the hotel pools. The Boardwalk Inn has GREAT beachside / poolside burger!

AREA INFORMATION: You're a short drive from fantastic area restaurants, art galleries, and all of the Charleston area attractions- like the Battery, Fort Moultrie and the SC Aquarium! Check out the secrets of the Hunley, tour the old-time cotton plantations, walk through the open air piazza’s in the garden district, visit the many, of one-of-a-kind, eclectic area shops, or walk through the open-air flea market at Meeting and Market streets! Or, if you want to simply relax and get away from it all, just pull your beach chair onto the quiet, sugar-sand beach and let your cares drift away!
Wild Dunes is close to great restaurants and funky shops on the island, too, and it's only 20 minutes to Charleston and 10 minutes to nearby Sullivan's Island.
Isle of Palms has a quiet, wide beach, with lots of white, sugar-spun sand and shelling (look for sand dollars, tulip shells, horseshoe crabs & the occasional starfish & conch shells). Many people para-sail or windsurf here also. This is a very popular home with many renters that return year after year, some for months at a time. Isle of Palms, nearby Sullivan's Island, and Charleston all have STELLAR restaurants (we have recommendations!), lots of super shopping, a state-of-the-art Aquarium, and many museums and cool shops. Enjoy re-discovering history by strolling along the Charleston Battery, take a horse-driven carriage ride and learn about the area's history, visit the raised Hunley submarine, or explore Fort Moultrie... the choices are endless!
On Isle of Palms, you will have an uncrowded, peaceful place to unwind- and when you are ready to 'kick up your heels', you can drive into Charleston and get as busy as you'd like! There are lots of great seafood and steak restaurants and a few really stellar oyster, steak and fish and sushi places. Here, you'll have the best of both worlds- peace when you really need it, a nearby pool for the kids when you don't feel like going to the beach, 5 restaurants just steps away (6 in neighborhood, plus a Taco Truck), and all of the advantages of a big, large city for some fun and excitement when you are done with the laid back 'R&R;' feel of Isle of Palms.
We try to think of everything that would make our guests feel right at home. We care deeply about your having an incredible time here, like we do with our own friends and family. We have tried to stock the home with the things we would want on our own family vacation- board games, books, cards, a comfortably equipped kitchen, TV's and DVD's, comfortable furniture (and SUPER comfy beds), extra blankets and pillows, and all of the creature comforts of 'a home away from home'. We partner with a local property management company just in case y'all need anything during your stay. All rentals include extra 'Covid' cleaning and towels and sheets for the bed. Please pack your own beach towels and toiletries. We provide an initial supply of paper products and laundry/dishwasher detergent, but you may need to purchase additional supplies during your stay.

Please feel free to call us or email us at any time with any additional questions that you may have. We thank you for your interest in our well-loved home! We hope you enjoy this home and your stay as much as we do when we come down ourselves- and we hope you'll be coming back for years to come. Enjoy your stay- and y'all come back now, ya' heah?!?
