The bed/mattress is either from the 1970’s or pulled from a dumpster to save costs and repurposed. Rooms need a total overhaul, the old carpet is absolutely filthy. Elevators breaking, endless amount of bugs, I would avoid at all costs.

I don’t usually write reviews, but the outstanding service I experienced at Wild Dunes Resort – Sweetgrass Inn made me feel compelled to share. What started as a short business trip turned into an extended stay due to an unexpected illness. Throughout my time there, I was consistently blown away by the staff’s kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care—not just for me, but for every guest I observed. Three team members in particular—Molly, Sakaie, and Boipelo—stood out in the most meaningful way. They greeted me by name every day, checked in on how I was feeling, and truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and cared for. Their compassion made a challenging situation feel so much easier, and I can’t thank them enough. If you’re considering a family vacation or hosting a business event, I wholeheartedly recommend the Wild Dunes Resort. The staff’s warmth and hospitality truly make it a special place.

Wonderful resort. Room was spacious. Staff was professional and courteous. Pool areas are all great. We were there for a family wedding in Charleston and came a couple of days early to enjoy the beach with family and friends.

I’ve stayed at Wild Dunes Resort multiple times, and it continues to be my favorite beach vacation. The resort is large and beautifully maintained, with multiple pools, great dining options, and direct beach access. The service is always excellent, friendly and professional across the board. The food at the resort is great, but one of the things I really like is that there are also plenty of restaurants nearby if you feel like venturing out. Whether you're relaxing by the pool, walking the beach, or enjoying a good meal, it’s just a great atmosphere overall. Highly recommend and already looking forward to my next stay.

This was our third time staying at Wild Dunes, and it somehow gets better each visit. For a family vacation, I honestly don’t know how you could ask for more. The beach, the pools, the friendly service—everything just feels effortless. The whole resort gives off such a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to slip into vacation mode. We were thrilled to see familiar faces after three years—especially Richard and Robbie at the valet, who continue to be absolute pros—and it was great to see Elvi back as well. Even those we hadn’t met before went out of their way to make us feel at home. The beach at Wild Dunes is fantastic: soft sand, rolling waves, and still completely kid-friendly. My kids spent hours boogie boarding while we lounged nearby. Lunch at the Grand Pavilion followed by afternoons at the pool (and maybe a painkiller or two!) became our daily ritual. We ended up eating at Coastal Crust twice during the week—because the pizza is just that good. Honestly, it blows my mind how a pizza place at a resort can serve something this excellent. Easily one of my top five pizza spots anywhere. Wild Dunes keeps delivering the kind of vacation memories we’ll talk about for years. Already looking forward to our next stay.

I must say when I stumbled upon your website I was skeptical of the amazing price you offered for this resort. Our trip was truly magical, we drove from Jacksonville, Florida with our son to meet my brother and his family for the first time. First off, when we arrived at our room which was perfectly placed above the spa and across from the Laughing Gull and pool, we were pleasantly surprised to find a balcony that stretched around the entire corner of the building. Our stay was even more enhanced with the breakfast meal vouchers for each morning we were there and the personalized greeting card. I will definitely be returning and will be using Luxury Link again.
