Labor Day Weekend at Templeton's

We loved our stay so much last year that we made sure we came back and booked Templeton's again. We love the cleanliness of the property and the ease of dealing with the host. The cabin has everything we need. Cannot wait to be back on Daufuskie again!

First time to the island and we love Daufuskie!

This was our first trip to Daufuskie and we loved our stay! Jay was a wonderful host and quick to reply to all of our questions! Everything we needed was available for our stay. Only tip I have for guests has nothing to do with the home or the island, but with the Lowcountry Ferry we took from Hilton Head to Daufuskie and back. The passenger fee for the ferry is fair, but the cost to bring supplies (groceries, bikes, extra luggage) was very expensive - much much more than advertised by the ferry service. They weigh all luggage before loading it onto the ferry and charge by weight. Before our visit, Jay recommended several other ferry options. So, if you’re planning on bringing additional supplies you may be better off using one of the other ferry services recommended by Jay. We will choose a different ferry for our next stay. Thank you, Jay! We enjoyed our stay and are already planning our next trip back to Daufuskie!

The place is nestled in a quiet place on the island. You are about 10 minutes from the beaches. The owner stocked the place with the necessities you will need. There is a lot of history on the island and restaurants around. In fact their is a breakfast place down the road from the cabin, named Driftwood. Really enjoyed our stay.

A great dog-friendly cottage with all you need to cook and relax. The tree-canopy view is a plus. Jay was super responsive. Highly recommend.

Wonderful time

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was easy to get to the beach with a golf cart. There was plenty to do! The house was well equipped with everything we needed. I do recommend bringing in plenty of food as the General store is limited. Will stay here again! The beach was not crowded and everyone was friendly. The house was perfect for us and we brought 4 kids. Really enjoyed this peaceful trip as the house was quite private. Never ran into anyone. Absolutely loved it!
