Just Awesome! Great house, great location and great hosts! Terri answered all my questions and I did have a lot since we had never been to Dufuskie Island. Most everything you need is there. Just didn't want to come back home. Check out this place as you will not be disappointed! Thanks for everything! Until next time....

The property was perfect! Very well-appointed and extremely clean, with cleanliness being a priority of ours! The decor was beautiful and the location and proximity to the beach is ideal! We loved sitting on the screen porch in the early morning and evenings—a perfect spot to relax and look out at the ocean! Additionally, the hostess is excellent and responsive to any planning and other questions. This VRBO is wonderful and we will rent again if on the Island!

Don't look further! Book The Captain's Choice!! Perfect for sightseeing, steps from the beach. The space is comfortably luxurious. Talking w the owner Terri was delightful and easy. Having the community pool is so great, not crowded, beautifully kept. We loved the Island so much . It is truly magical. It's way more than a beach vacation! It is a discovery! We will be back and always stay with Terri if she'll have us!

The Captain's Choice was an amazing place to stay! We stayed in with our 2 children, ages 8 and 10. It has a great view, is close to the amazing beach and is thoughtfully stocked with everything! The kitchen had everything we needed and the shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathrooms definitely saved me from having to be pack my ours. There are beach chairs, umbrellas and sand toys. The beach is a treasure, we saw so many neat things and the kids were never bored. They could explore for hours! Definitely pack light and just go with the flow. We had an amazing stay and have already been looking at when we can return.

Great island getaway property! Beautifully appointed decor. 2 bedroom ensuite condo. Each suite had a bath, mini frig, tons of storage. The king suite had a shower and jacuzzi tub. The suites were separated by a large kitchen, dining, living area with expansive views of the water. This layout provides nice privacy. The porch was also fabulous with comfortable furniture and the same spectacular views. Great for a family or 2 couples.

Relaxing family getaway

We had a great stay here (myself, my wife, 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son). This was a great location, and the villa was very nice. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring the island and eating at the various restaurants. The hosts were kind very good at communicating through VRBO. Highly recommend.
