7600 Palmetto Dr Unit D 224, Isle of Palms, SC 29451

This Shipwatch Villas end-unit occupies one of Wild Dunes’ most coveted oceanfront positions — three bedrooms, three baths and 1,250 square feet of well-planned living that opens directly onto the Atlantic. As you step inside, expansive ocean-facing windows and an open living area frame uninterrupted views; the primary suite includes a private balcony where evening surf and horizon become part of daily life. Offered fully furnished, the residence is move-in ready and immediately positioned for personal use or short-term rental operation.

The living space flows around a kitchen equipped with modern appliances and practical counter space for relaxed meal preparation. Each bedroom is sized for comfort and the third bath adds versatility for guests or multi-family stays. Mechanical systems include central air and central electric heat; the building’s stucco construction and metal roof are consistent with coastal design and maintenance practices for this vintage (built 1984). Off-street parking (one space) and accessible ingress from Palmetto Drive support easy arrival and guest turnover.

Shipwatch Villas’ resort lifestyle is the property’s second headline: owners and guests access Wild Dunes amenities — two championship golf courses, tennis and pickleball facilities, multiple dining options, a community pool and playground, and direct beach access just steps from the building. The condo’s consistent rental performance (rent comps in the $4.0–4.4/sf range and an estimated monthly rent near $5,000) demonstrates strong seasonal demand for oceanfront accommodations in this gated resort setting.

From an ownership perspective, recent market analysis places likely value between $1,000,000 and $1,100,000, reflecting limited oceanfront inventory on Isle of Palms and steady appreciation over recent years. Prospective buyers should verify HOA fees, resort membership requirements and flood insurance costs as part of their due diligence. With top-rated nearby schools and convenient access to Charleston’s historic district (approximately 15 miles), this Shipwatch Villas unit combines resort income potential with everyday coastal living.
