About this property

Steps to Downtown, Pier & Beach with Gourmet Kitchen!

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath island-inspired home is the largest of the homes in the Daffodil Compound. Upon arrival you'll be greeted by the large game room, outdoor bar and seating area under the home. As you enter the front door into the large foyer you'll immediately notice the high ceilings and cozy coastal casual design. The main living area is home to a 75" television, large sectional sofa and built-in bookcases and opens out onto a broad screened porch. Through the corridor you will be amazed by the elegant gourmet kitchen, fully equipped with top of the line appliances including Thermador dual fuel range. Just past the kitchen is your indoor dining space that overlooks the tropical courtyard. The master bedroom has a king bed with ensuite shower, second bedroom has a king bed adjoining the full hall bath and the third bedroom houses two twin beds. This twin bedroom has one set of pocket doors but only curtains on the other doorway. All bedrooms include large screen smart televisions. A laundry closet with washer and dryer rounds out the interior. The home also boasts off street parking spaces for up to 4 cars, and a fun game area with shuffleboard, ping pong and Tiki bar below the house. We have both a gas and a charcoal grill near the outdoor shower as well.

This property is just steps away from Center Street and a block and a half to beach and new Folly Pier. If you prefer to stay in, you will find a shared yard with hammock and lush tropical plants. This property shares a communal yard with Little and Wee Daffodil. The homes can be rented individually or all three together as a compound for loads of family fun!

The Daffodil was Delightful

The Daffodil offers a well-appointed kitchen, a lovely central great room for evening gatherings, a screened porch, and three spacious bedrooms. The location offers a direct walk to Center Street with its beach shops and restaurants. We had the delightful privilege of meeting Michael, one of the co-owners, who shared additional information about the beautiful property. The pier and the beach are within easy walking distance of the home.

LOVED big daffodil!!

This property is SO beautifully designed, extremely clean and Steven was more than accommodating and responsive through the entire process. The location can’t be beat, walking distance to everything and the beach, but nice and quiet and peaceful at the same time. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!
