Oceanfront. Luxury. Penthouse. On the Beach.

​403 By-The-Sea...Blurring the Line Between Residence and Resort on the top floor of Building A in beautiful Shipwatch in Wild Dunes.

Our reviews say it all.

An elevated vacation experience. Every space has been curated and designed for your enjoyment and comfort. We promise you will be delighted with your time here! This property has been designed and outfitted to create a luxury adult experience.

This is a 2-story 1600+ sq ft condo on the top floor. Highest-rated 3 bdrm right on the beach (about 200 paces to beautiful sand where you can put your chairs out.) Our penthouse, oceanfront location has the largest, open concept unit in Shipwatch and best views. Only top floor condos have an additional oversized 15x15 patio balcony. AND we have a party sized margarita machine! Bring some ice and your fave mixers!

We welcome well behaved & well supervised children.

SUPER EASY check in and check out. All electronic keypad codes & gate passes sent in advance.

Stunning luxury condo. Three Immaculate Bedrooms, Three Spa-like Baths, One Spectacular View. Three outdoor living spaces. One stunning beach.

Only condos in Building A and D of Shipwatch have unobstructed views. We are on the top floor of Building A.

Our goal is to create the best possible vacation experience you could hope for. This is furnished and equipped with attention to every detail. Even things you may not have thought of!

Our expansive beach front views are truly spectacular and described as the best on the island. Best sunrise views from the Primary Bedroom in Shipwatch.

You came for the beach. The captivating sound of the surf. Sparkling sand and lots of space. It's amazing and it’s calling you. We have a boardwalk right off the building and the wide sandy beach is about 400 ft from our condo. Spend the day frolicking on the beach, or teeing off at an award winning golf course. Finish the day with a stroll down historic cobblestone streets to enjoy local seafood. Return to your oceanfront oasis for moonlit drinks on the balcony.​

We are directly on the largest, private beach on Isle of Palms, SC. Expansive, with plenty of room to relax, throw a ball or go for a bike ride. This is a private beach in gated Wild Dunes Resort.

Walking distance to world renowned golf.

12 Miles from Downtown Charleston.

Building A of Shipwatch, Top Floor with completely unobstructed ocean views from Master Bedroom & Family Room.

A featured Better Homes & Gardens Build + Design Team remodeled and furnished this modern penthouse condo, creating an impeccable, beckoning Retreat.

Here's what you can expect:​​
​Gracious, thoughtfully designed interior spaces.

Excellent communication with owner/property manager.

Parking for up to 2 vehicles max.

Sparkling high end, updated bathrooms. Upscale, fully stocked kitchen, stainless steel appliances, additional beverage fridge. Comfortable high end furnishings, ceiling fans in every room, high end pillow top mattresses on every bed, decorated in serene aquas, blues and greens. Clean, sparkling and inviting rooms.

Beach towels provided to simplify your packing.
Concierge services available upon request.

Two fabulous oceanfront balconies and an additional oversized resort view deck. Shiplap on the ceilings, sparkling glass tile in the bathrooms, rustic wood plank tile on the floors. Ceiling fans in every bedroom. Easy maintenance, upscale furniture. 4 large Smart TVs.

Largest pool in Wild Dunes with generous decks. It's mineral too! Pool has private change rooms and bathrooms. Outdoor shower right at entrance to building. Everything is literally steps away.

Steel and cement constructed top floor condo creates a much quieter unit.

We love our furry friends, but this is a NO PET complex, strictly enforced by our HOA.
*** Please note, there may be times when general work, repairs or maintenance causes restricted use of communal grounds or amenities. While such activities are uncommon, their timing is directed by the HOA and therefore out of our control. No refunds or discounts will be applied during any such inconveniences. ***

There are TWO exterior cameras. One at the front door and one beach camera (to track weather.) Please do not tamper or disconnect.

See our floor plan.

**NOTE since the video was done there are a few small changes: the main level bedroom now has a king size bed and NOT two twin beds (see photos). The second bedroom upstairs no longer has the dresser. It has been replaced with a twin bed (+ king) with a closet system (see photos). So total of 3 KING beds and 1 twin.

If you choose to leave a $1500 deposit as opposed to paying for the $59 damage insurance, that is strictly between you and VRBO. We do not hold or disburse this amount at the end of your stay. It is due at time of booking, and is reimbursed around 2 weeks after your stay.

We do NOT refund in inclement weather. If you are concerned about this please ensure you have appropriate travel insurance.
