The Sandcastle | Oceanfront with Screened Porch & Direct Beach Access
The Sandcastle at 104 F Port O Call
Sandcastle at 104 F Port O Call is a completely renovated oceanfront condominium that not only offers spectacular views but has direct access to beach.
2026 Beach Update: The City of Isle of Palms has approved a beach nourishment project expected to take place Summer–Fall 2026. While a final schedule has not yet been released, work is anticipated to move along the beach in sections, meaning any impact to a specific area is temporary.
We will share updates as more details become available and are happy to provide guidance based on your travel dates.
Beach Access Update — Port O’ Call F Building
Mother Nature reminded us this winter who’s really in charge, and an early season storm caused some notable beach erosion in this stretch of shoreline. As a proactive step to protect the dunes and property, temporary measures have been installed — including a sandbag breakwater and sand berms behind it. The good news? The beach is absolutely still there to be enjoyed.
Guests can access it easily just south of the F Building near the swimming pool. We’ve included a current photo in the listing so you can see exactly what conditions look like right now — no surprises, just good planning. As always, if you have questions or want local tips once you arrive, we’re here to help. Around here we believe a great vacation is about rolling with the tides — and making the most of every moment on the island.

The condo is great - super clean and comfortable - but the best feature is the location. The walkout to the beach is amazing, and the views from every room are just wonderful.
Property was much smaller than we thought it would be from the photos, however, the view and the access to the beach were great! The location was very quiet and it was a wonderful spot!

Beautiful Beach location!
Amazing location, loved being able to walk out the front porch right on to the beach! The unit could use some renovations in the bathroom and kitchen areas, and the rug in the family room was very hard and uncomfortable to walk on. Overall love staying in Wild dunes, the beach is unbelievably gorgeous!
Loved our stay. Weather was awful, but we didn't care. We just wanted the time together, Beautiful unit. Would highly recommend it.

Perfect spot - right on the beach!
We have stayed in many different Port O'Call villas through the years, and this one is by far the best-situated. It's right on the beach. Even though it rained one day while we were there, we were able to enjoy sitting on the screened porch and feeling the breeze. Can't wait to return next year!
We loved our stay at The Sandcastle. The condo is perfect for a couple who enjoys the beach. We loved walking right out of the condo and onto the sand. It is also close to downtown Charleston as well as other restaurants and activities if you don't want to spend all your time on the beach.
Michael is a great host who made us feel prepared with his recommendations!
ON the beach - beautiful, clean, well equipped condo, gorgeous view, excellent property managers
We enjoyed a very relaxed and comfortable week at the IOP in this condo! Probably the very best one bedroom condo with have stayed in on the Isle of Palms. Michael was very helpful and pleasant to work with. We will definitely rent the condo again!

It was a great location!
We liked the fact that the condo was right on the beach! A few things in the condo were a little rough, especially the cookware, we had to go out an buy a skillet. All in all we had a good time, despite the weather--we were there for all the flooding a couple of weeks ago. The beach is fantastic.

Thank you for your recent visit to the Isle of Palms and our condo. Guest feedback is critical to our staff and the property owner so that we can better make decisions regarding improvements to a property. I feel very strongly that any negative experience our guests encounter is unacceptable; not only to me, but also to our entire Beachside Team. Guest feedback is always appreciated and taken very seriously. Thank you for your time to share your thoughts with us.
Our staff takes great pride in working with our guest to make sure they have a memorable experience. Our condo has a number of wonderful amenities. The oceanfront screen porch with steps down to the beach is a truly unique feature! In addition, the ideal location at the end of the building adds privacy and wonderful morning light throughout the living room. This condominium offers oceanfront living at its absolute best!
Each winter, the property owner works on a handful of projects. With the help of your comments, we have prioritized several of these projects to include the upgrading the kitchen cookware and dishes. We are very excited about these and other upcoming improvements and hope that you will visit our condo again in 2016!
Thank you again for your patience and we apologize that the kitchen cookware was disappointing. Our condo is in a fantastic destination with direct beach access and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Most comfortable bed and best view of the beach!
My husband and I spent a week at 104F Port of Call and found the unit to be in a perfect spot! It is very nice, clean, the porch is awesome, the view is marvelous and the sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep each night. We were completely relaxed. Thank you to the owners for sharing this treat. I hope we can come back next year!
Our favorite part of this first-floor condo was the screened-in porch - simply open the door and you are steps away from the beach. New stainless appliances, washer, dryer, and plenty of amenities. Plenty of storage, a large master bedroom, and an updated bathroom with a walk-in shower.
My wife and I decided last minute to make a weekend getaway. The booking process and check in process was super easy. Once we arrived at the condo, it definitely did not disappoint. We absolutely loved our stay and the convenience of the rentals for our chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and corn hole boards! We’ll definitely be back!
