We really enjoyed our week at this condo. It has all you need and is very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and it was a nice little perk having the beach towels available, one less thing for us to pack. The beach was great and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your condo with others!

We loved every second of our two weeks at 403 By The Sea! Such a luxurious and comfortable condo. The home is exactly as listed, but even more cozy and elegant in person! The location is wonderful and the proximity to the beach is awesome! It was so nice to have a pool and beach area for just this complex- we were always able to find a chair at the pool and space on the beach. What sets this condo apart from other places we have stayed are the little things- classy decor touches, books, games, as well as laundry detergent, beach towels, full size shampoo, etc. We were happily surprised by this! We had great communication with our hosts and would highly recommend visiting this condo! We did not want to leave!

Our family had a tremendous stay at Isle of Palms. The property and location was as advertised. Wild Dunes was a great resort and Charleston is a great city only a short drive away. We look forward to a return trip.
