We had a wonderful long weekend at Atlantic Escape and would definitely consider staying here again! PROS: The unit was clean, cozy, homey, and beautifully decorated. The perfect amount of beachy chic decor with modern touches. I felt right at home, and the unit was well stocked. Linens were also provided. The fact that the unit offers WiFi and Roku with YouTubeTV/Hulu especially made us feel at home, as those are the same products/services we use at home. I enjoyed thumbing through the beautiful picture books on the coffee table. This unit is very close to the beach, and located further into the Wild Dunes resort making it a bit more remote. This meant that though we visited in the middle of summer, the beach wasn’t too busy. Lastly, the check out procedures were very easy! On an unrelated note, if you’re looking for delicious eats nearby, Nick’s German Kitchen had the BEST German food, and Acme Lowcountry Kitchen offers a delicious breakfast. Both offer reservations. CONS: There is limited cell phone service on the beach in the Wild Dunes resort area. We like to enjoy our screen time while relaxing. At one point we checked out another public beach outside of the resort and we did have signal (via Verizon). The arrival instructions indicated that the parking pass we receive at the gate would have more specific directions to the unit. It did not, and because cell phone service was non-existent for us in the resort, we had to just sort of drive around and look for the place. Not an easy task as the resort is quite large, and not how you want to spend your time after spending hours in the car traveling to your destination. When we arrived we were hoping to find a directory or some recommendations from the owner of places to eat nearby as we were starving. There were no recommendations provided but this would be a nice touch for future guests. My only complaint about the unit itself is that it had pocket doors, but they weren’t functional, meaning there’s no way to lock them. I like to close and lock my bedroom door at night. If we had come with others, privacy would have been minimal, though that wasn’t an issue for us on this trip. Overall, we loved our time in Isle of Palms and can’t wait to return. Thank you!
