Charleston Coast Vacations By Dunes Properties

A big group of our family went to Dewees Island last fall and rented a big house from Charleston Coast Vacations by Dunes Properties…We had the best time…Everyone is still talking about it…Your staff was so helpful…I know for a fact that our group was a pain…Several in our group could not agree on the house we wanted, and kept changing their minds, but finally we nailed down the perfect one… The house was perfect, so clean. The weather was perfect, we have a whole album of wildlife, beach pics, blue crabs, big fish, dolphin, sharks…etc…I wish I could remember everyone's name who assisted us(I can remember Emily Watson) because we LOVED it…We will definitely come back and use your excellent company again!…..Thx Derek Young (For Young & Craft Families)

Our 5th year renting this great house with a great location- BUT too many issues to make for a great vacation!! Issues starting with Dunes Property contact person assigned to house, alarm system repeatedly going off,broken elevator, broken pool cover, and on and on. Just so much deferred maintenance going on with this house and poor property management that I can鈥檛 recommend this rental property.

We booked this house for a girls weekend in October. We traveled from Houston. The house was great. The Kitchen was well stocked with more than advertised. The views of the beach and the marsh were fabulous. We took ubers into Charleston a few times. We had a great time! If we make it back to SC we would stay here again.

I'm so glad I was able to avoid VRBO and go directly to Dunes Properties. They were able to answer all my pre-reservation questions, they were there for our missing toaster issue within the hour and we saved a few hundred dollars. The house was perfect for our 9 women group, and I would definitely use them again.

Used them for vacation rentals on Folly Beach several times… they鈥檝e always been extremely easy to work with. Will use many, many more times!!

We enjoyed our stay, Reservations were handled excellent. We had no problems.
Thank you so much!

Very pretty house and good location. Everything was like it was listed.

We totally loved our vacation. Our condo was magnificent. Beautifully decorated and clean, great proximity to everything. We loved being able to walk to the shops and restaurants.

As lovely as the home's decor was. The home seemed very dirty and unkept. In the bathroom's shower curtains were moldy, shower rods were rusted. One of the bathroom windows was broken. Several of the walls seemed soft or moldy and had been painted over. Every morning we had to sweep dead roaches out from under beds, and off other floor areas. The AC struggled to hold at 76 degrees and on several of the warmer days did not hold even late into the night. The bed sheets and quilts were very dirty looking and looked moldy and or very stained. everything was very dusty inside the home, and I found a pill on the floor from a previous guest also covered in dust. The curtains in the bedrooms and bathrooms would not close without the whole curtain rod being pulled off the wall. The curtains do not block any light whatsoever… so if you have children expect to wake up as soon as the sun rises. Skip Pride & Joy

The house itself was beautiful, the pictures didn't do it justice. It was beautifully decorated and the open layout and glass covered porch were our family's favorite features. A few notes on the cleanliness/management of the property though: the hot tub was not properly cleaned. We saw that someone had dropped in cleaning "pills" into the hot tub to "clean" it. When we opened the cover we saw old leaves on the top of the water and dirt/sand at the bottom. Dropping in cleaning pills does not properly clean a hot tub and we were very disappointed as this was one of the reasons we decided to rent this house. We ended up not using it as it looked very gross. Additionally, the front door is very difficult to open and close as it sticks and needs to be repaired. Lastly, the house is just across the street from the beach. Very easy access but if it rains, the driveway floods very deep where it meets the street which then does not allow you to cross the street to get onto the beach. We had to walk through brush and over the neighbors lawns/houses in order to not walk through a lake of water to access the beach. If where the driveway meets the street could be paved over and leveled, this would not occur. Overall great house, biggest disappointment was the hot tub. We chose this house for the perk of the hot tub and were very disappointed that we could not enjoy it.

A perfect vacation! We had a perfect girls weekend at the condo. The condo was beautiful, spacious, and clean. The first night we thought the fridge wasn't cooling properly, but it was our mistake for not reading the welcome letter saying to let the fridge cool properly before stocking it with food and beverages. BUT we called late that evening after returning from the bars and make an emergency call worried that our food would spoil overnight – Liz returned our call so quickly and assured us it was not an issue with the fridge, so we moved our food to the coolers we had and the fridge was back on track the next morning. Liz even sent me text messages throughout the day checking on the fridge and to make sure we were happy with everything – true professionals! We love Folly Beach and will definitely be using Charleston Coast Vacations again!

Everything was as planned. Have worked with Dunes on numerous vacations and have always been pleased.

Great service and great property! Thank you for another wonderful experience!!!

The rental was filthy. Many of the doors would not shut/latch properly. Overall was very disappointed with the condition and upkeep of the rental, would not go back, and would probably not use the company again, if this is the quality of their rental properties.

OUR RECENT VACATION WAS SHORTENED BY FLORENCE, BUT STAYING AT SANDY BOTTOMS WAS TERRIFIC!!! THE HOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL, CLOSE TO BEACH, CLOSED TO TOWN, AND PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MY FAMILY. HOUSE WAS KEPT IMMACULATE INSIDE AND OUT AND WE CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT SUMMER.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this lovely condo. Would stay again.

had a great time, nice condo in a great location.

Great customer service and exception rental property!

The unit we rented was clean and absolutely perfect for us.

This was our 2nd time here and we definitely will be back. The house keeping was not up to par this time. House was dirty under couches and some of drawers were never cleaned. Kitchen is fully equipped and bedroom linens are nice and clean. It is a beautiful house with a view to match. Plenty of room for 7 adults and 4 children. The outdoor space is great.

This condo was beautifully updated and the perfect layout for a girls weekend. Only suggestion is a larger skillet and it was very small:)

Thank you for a fun weekend.

We stayed in this house August 11-18 2018. This was a beautiful home with plenty of space however, it was NOT clean. I had to sweep the stair well, the screened in porch, and wipe down the patio table. My upstairs guest took a sponge and wiped around the toilet and it was just filthy. I was embarrassed they had to do that.There were cobwebs in the corners and the accessories through out the house looked liked they hadn't seen a dust cloth in years.(I took pictures) I think you need to rethink your cleaning company. We paid dearly to have a clean house. Also, we traveled 800 miles to get to this house and I brought everything, as your website suggested, and when we arrived the house did come with beach towels and pool toys. It would have been nice to know this. Aside from that it was nicely arranged and had plenty of room.

We have been going to Dewees Island for a number of years and have invited several other families and tried to spread the word. Two years ago, my review would have been 5 stars. The last couple of visits have really been a disappointment for a handful of reasons. 1. Golf Carts – always an issue. When we rented a house this year (that comes with 2 carts) one was not working. We were given the option to rent one for the week at an additional cost?!? After a big fuss, the interns were able to give us another golf cart that barely worked. 2.) As a "renter" on the island, there are a handful of owners that make you feel like you are a burden to their island community or beneath them. We have met some very nice owners as well but it seems like there are fewer of them as the years go by. 3.) Interns – used to be so helpful in taking care of anything you should need. Arrival and departure were such a breeze with their help. This year, we saw the interns when we arrived on the island and then never again.

The island is such a great getaway and vacation. My wife and I were starting to toss around the idea of buying on the island. After our experience the last couple of years, we will look elsewhere.

We had a wonderful time on our Charleston Coast Vacation! Every aspect of the booking process was handled with professionalism. They even provided a hair dryer for us when our property was without one! Overall excellent experience.

This vacation experience was the easiest and most relaxing our family has ever experienced. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We are definitely going to come back and you will be the ones we call. The house was perfect, the staff amazing and just the simplicity of the entire renting experience was great. Thank you for a wonderful vacation experience!
