Wild Dunes Resort

Description:

• A bit livelier than Kiawah Island, its major competitor, this complex is set on landscaped ground on the north shore. The resort sits on 1,600 acres of a private, gated community. The award-winning hotel has two widely acclaimed golf courses, plus an array of other outdoor attractions, including kayaking, a kids' camp, and more. Guests have a wide choice of options for accommodations, including the 93-room Boardwalk Inn, plus the Village at Wild Dunes, with some 160 quality rooms and suites with AAA's rating of four diamonds. The rest of the compound is formed by homes and villas ranging from 1 bedroom to 11, many of them oceanfront. All accommodations are just steps from the beach. The family recreation program is designed for ages 8 to 88.
