It is due at time of booking, and is reimbursed around 2 weeks after your stay.

What you see online is exactly what this place is! The views are beautiful and owner’s have clearly thought of everything you need to have the best vacation ever! The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen of any place we have ever stayed which made things so much easier!
There was a little hiccup with the shower and they remanded immediately and had a plumber there within an hour on a holiday! Can’t say enough about this unit!
Only hiccup with the location was that we didn’t realize this isn’t part of the Wild Dunes main resort so this unit was not a part of those Wild Dune amenities so we didn’t have access to the fitness center or pool at that location. But besides that - it was an AMAZING trip! We will definitely be back!!!!

We have spent several wonderful Christmas’ at this property, and the enjoyment and accommodations were as always spectacular once again. Beautifully decorated yet cozy. Kitchen lacks nothing and is better equipped than my own! Beds were so comfy it was hard to make ourselves move in the mornings! There is absolutely nothing lacking. Host communication exceptional. If you are looking for an amazing place to spend your time, THIS IS IT. We will be back 💯!

403 By The Sea is a beautiful and spacious unit located in a peaceful community right on the beach front. Very clean and nicely decorated with a little bit of anything you may need to feel right at home! Close to many attractions and has plenty of options to stay active or just sit and relax! Extremely dog friendly area which is a bonus for all of us dog lovers! I highly recommend this unit. Communitcation with host was excellent.

We had a group of 4 dear friends from college get together for a weekend of relaxation, remembrance, ambiance and fun. Super location. Everything as described. Extremely comfortable. No detail left undone. Beds were very comfortable. Living space was cozy and perfect for our group. Kitchen and bar are well furnished. We also made good use of the margarita machine! (Remember to bring ice!) Easy access to beach and nearby restaurants. A wonderful time was had by all!

I highly recommend this condo. We have stayed at several at Wild Dunes and this is by far the BEST one we've ever stayed in. It was extremely well appointed. It had everything we needed and more. The layout was absolutely perfect for my husband and I, our 3 kids, my mother in-law and aunt. The view is spectacular. It is beautiful and perfectly decorated. The boardwalk isn't very long, so the walk to the beach is super easy. We will definitely try to book this unit again. Thanks for a wonderful vacation 203 By the Sea!

Attention to detail. Every little amenity was thought of. The decor was comfortable and beautiful. The property was pristine - the cleanest beach rental I have ever stayed in. The view was incredible - sunrise over the beach, sunset on the back porch. I would highly recommend staying here if you go to Isle of Palms. Great book with recommendations for eating out and things to do. Absolutely loved it!!!

Had a wonderful, relaxing vacation! The property was the perfect size for my family of 5. It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with beautiful ocean views from multiple balconies. Enjoyed the convenience of renting umbrellas and beach chairs and having them set up for us daily. The beach and pool were both clean, spacious, and not at all crowded. A perfect getaway and great way to start the summer!

I have to say a huge thank you to the property owners as they were wonderfully communicative, and really helpful in giving us an overview of the property and the surrounding community prior to our arrival. The property itself was absolutely amazing! The two private balconies (one each for the two upstairs bedrooms) by which to look at either the beach or the resort offered stellar views. Additionally, it is obvious how much though the owners out into everything to help ensure that whomever stays there has a pleasant and positive memory filled stay. The entire unit comes complete with high end appliances, top of the tier technology (Samsung TV's, Sound bar, Alexa, and Remote Controlled Fans), a built-in book case filled with great novels that my 15 year old really enjoyed, and two drawers full of games and puzzles for when the weather isn't cooperating. I have to say this was my favorite unit that I have ever rented "anywhere" and I have rented my fair share. I cant say enough good things about 403 By The Sea, so I will end this review the way it started. Thank you Kim for providing us with a 1st class experience at the Isle of Palms. The setting was amazing and the memories I was able to create with my family were priceless. May you and your family be richly blessed, and I hope to one day be fortunate to stay as your guest again.

I have been going to Wild Dunes for over 30 years and this is one of the best properties I have ever stayed in. Each room has a king bed and own bathroom. The furnishings are comfortable and they have thought of everything you may need or could ask for!
