2026 Beach Update: The City of Isle of Palms is carrying out a beach renourishment project, expected to move along the beach in sections between summer and fall 2026. Because crews work steadily down the shoreline, any impact to a specific area is temporary, and the beach stays open with access outside active work zones. A final schedule hasn't been released yet — we're tracking updates and are happy to provide guidance based on your travel dates. Just reach out, or visit our beach project page on our website for the latest.
 
Beyond perfection. Those were a guest’s exact words. We think they were right.
Summer House 203 is a beautifully remodeled two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in Wild Dunes with one of the most coveted features on IOP: an oversized ocean-view porch that guests never want to leave. The beach is seconds away, the Summer House oceanfront pool is right there, and the whole unit has been done with luxury and comfort in mind — the kind of place where you hear the ocean from bed and feel genuinely at home from the moment you walk in.
With elevator access, wheelchair accessibility, and a location right in the heart of Wild Dunes, SH203 works beautifully for couples, families, and friend groups who want an easy, comfortable, high-quality IOP base camp. Restaurants on the golf course, the pool just steps away, and Deserving Vacations ready to respond quickly to anything you need.

Summer House 203 - Ocean View Haven! Pool!

Lovely space and perfect for our 5 people. Even with work to replenish the beach ongoing, we had a lovely trip and enjoyed all our time relaxing about the pool and beach. We saw dolphins several days from balcony and beach. Deserving Vacations excellent communication and easy to work with the planning process.

The Wild Dunes resort has a lot to offer and SummerHouse 203 is in an ideal location to take advantage of the beautiful beaches of the Isle of Palms.  

On the 2nd floor with immediate access to the pool and beach, the property was bright, clean, airy, and was well equipped for all of our needs.  The beds were quite comfortable and the master and living room offered a wonderful view of the both the pool and ocean - really nice to wake up to or take in while relaxing at the property.  

The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals or come up from the beach for lunch or to cool off in the very efficient a/c.  Parking is ample and you can even find a few shaded spots in the lot.

Overall, we loved Summerhouse203 and the Isle of Palms and can't wait to come back.

Fantastic

We stayed at Summerhouse 203 for 5 nights and our stay was awesome! 

There was more than enough space for a family of 5 (3 kids - 11, 9 and 7). The condo itself was beautiful and well kept.

The kids loved the space and loved its proximity to the beach and pool. They were so into the water that we rarely left the condo. It was nice to have a full kitchen for those days we just didn't feel like leaving.

The condo itself is relatively close to so many great restaurants, shops and things to do. My kids are already looking forward to going back. 

Stay here, you won't be disappointed!

Awesome

My family and I had a wonderful time. The space is beautiful and clean. My son is 8 and my daughter is 17, it worked out perfect  for us. Steps to the beach and pool and a 30ish minute drive to downtown Charleston.

The area is fantastic too. The last day we discovered the restaurants inside the resort community.

I highly recommend all of it. We would stay here again.
