We spent a long weekend visiting Daufuski Island and this home is perfect! We were traveling with our adult children and labs (Hank & Honey) and the set up was perfect with two king beds and private bathroom in each room. It was well-appointed with everything we needed for the weekend from supplies to beach chairs and toys. The beds were comfortable and home had plenty of space. The beach is literally just steps from the home and my goodness, the views are breathtaking! Communication from check in to resolving issues was on point with quick response and resolution! We couldn't ask for anything more and we can't wait to visit again.
The location and beach access was fantastic! And the addition of the golf cart was great for getting around the island. Everything was neat on arrival. I do wish I had known it was a duplex as we had loud neighbors up late on our final 2 nights and we could clearly hear their music & words. I also would love to have access to basic kitchen staples (salt, pepper, olive oil or spray) to make cooking an option - with no grocery store on the island we couldn't buy them there and I didn't consider packing a salt & pepper shaker.
One of the best stays. A beautiful home in the pine trees with the beach as our backyard. The hosts took care of our very few needs so quickly it was amazing.
Everything about our stay was great. We loved everything about the island. The cottage was absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t ask for a more gorgeous weekend to celebrate our anniversary.
Beautiful property with a great view and everything we needed. Our pups were happy and the owners we so helpful and communicated quickly. A PERFECT vacation!
The property description was accurate, the views were amazing and the house was very clean. This house is perfect for a beach vacation getaway. The beautiful beach is just steps away from the door and the island is so peaceful and relaxing!
This island is like taking a step back in time. It is quiet and makes you feel as though you are on a private beach. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our house was clean and everything was easy to navigate. The ferry and land transportation were easy to navigate (we used island head).We will definitely be back!
The property had everything we needed. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and had fun exploring the island. Next time we will do more than a weekend.
We had a fabulous time.The property was great. The restaurants were all good. Our favoriite was the Melrose Oyster House. The people there were so nice. From the moment we boarded the ferryuntil we boarded for return..
1st came to Daufuskie 25 yrs ago and it's still just as magical...the smells, the feels, the people, the food...we love it all. Thx for such a relaxing place to stay!
