Charleston Coast Vacations by dunes propertiesReviews of charlestoncoastvacations.com

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’t recommend this rental property.

My family stayed in COB unit 322 the week of 10/6/18. Four of the eight patio chairs were not useable. The toilets in both master bedrooms were filthy. The metal bed in the master bedroom was not secured. Someone had attempted to repair with super glue! Fortunately, my son-in-law had tools and repaired it. Otherwise, it would have collapsed and could have caused serious injury. Lastly, the glass-top table on the patio was not secured and it almost fell on my 11 year old granddaughter. It is a very heavy top and could have resulted in a serious injury or death had we not caught it. We have stayed at COB for the last 15 years and never had such terrible conditions. We will not consider this unit again, nor recommend it to others. Also, as property managers, there is an expectation that you ensure that the rental units are in safe condition. This certainly had a negative impact on our family vacation.

Dewees Island is beautiful and peaceful, love the place but the home we stayed at needs some serious maintenance. There were many issues such as the a/c going out Friday night and we had to deal with the heat and humidity for 2 days. We were offered to move to a new location but there were 8 women and lots of groceries to relocate. Icemaker did not work, ceiling fans did not work, lighting issues, serious problem with fire flaming up on grill, sewer gas odors, internet was not good........Disappointed in trip this time.

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 unit #324 in COV was not clean or well kept. Several lights burnt out, dryer didn't work, freezer door was open when we arrived, sliding door in master bedroom had a broken lock, no lock on sliding door in living room, toilet dirty in one bathroom and toilet paper holders in 2 bathrooms were loose and falling off the wall. This was the 4th year we rented a unit at COV and it was one of the worst units we have used. Paid a premium price for a mediocre unit. The location is great.

We where unable to get into our room early which was ok, we where staying inside Wild Dunes. We where not even allowed to go inside and go to the beach until our property was ready, which we have done ever year that we have rented thru a a different company. All rentals are Saturday-Saturday, somehow they gave away Friday night to the people arriving the following week! I also called for an hour late check do to a very bad storm happening at the time and it was down pouring, which they allowed but after we checked out they where texting us asking us to please check out and they where coming to the property to make sure we where gone! I guess I thought that was rude and they where not any better informed that we already checked out and they had the keys to the property! Probably will never rent thru them again!

The experience with Charleston Coast Vacations was not bad at the beginning. However, I left a review of the house both pros and cons, listing everything we had issues with and everything we thought was a pro. They pretended to publish the review, but then a short while later, removed the review. I would have thought they had at least some integrity if they had just simply told me they don't post negative reviews of any sort, instead of trying to fool me. In any case, I would not use them again as the reviews on their site are obviously sugar coated, and you don't get to see anything that isn't 100% flattering.
