Isle of Palms Resort by Wyndham

The Isle of Palms Resort by Wyndham offers more than 100 villa-style units on Isle of Palms, each with a full kitchen, and many with multiple bedrooms. The property includes a pool, beach access, bike rentals, and tennis courts. The format suits families and groups who prefer the space and self-catering flexibility of a villa over a standard hotel room.

The proximity to Wild Dunes Resort is the key advantage. The Links Course and Harbor Course are both roughly five minutes away by car. Golfers staying here can access the same Tom Fazio courses available to Sweetgrass Inn guests, though tee times and any package pricing should be confirmed directly with Wild Dunes, as resort guest privileges may differ for off-property bookings.

Downtown Charleston is 25 to 35 minutes by car, a shorter commute than from Kiawah Island. The Isle of Palms location splits the difference between resort isolation and city access, offering beach and golf during the day with Charleston's dining within reasonable reach in the evening.

At $150 to $300 per night, the resort occupies a middle ground between the Sweetgrass Inn's hotel experience and the budget options on the mainland. For a group of four splitting a two-bedroom villa, the per-person nightly cost drops below what a standard hotel room would run at most Historic District properties.
