The kitchen is well stocked with cooking essentials. The living room & both bedrooms have TV/high speed Internet & cable selections.
The two outdoor living areas were designed to be a comfortable way to relax & enjoy the island scenery. The front porch is a favorite with a good ocean view to watch sunrise & sunsets.The back screen room is a perfect spot to curl-up on the comfortable porch swing and watch the birds swoop in over the marsh & see deer wander through. Our Oasis cottage by the sea is a lightly rented & an owner enjoyed property throughout the year. This special home is a treasure we are happy to share with guests & family.

We had a great time on Daufuskie Island and the property was such a great home base while we were on vacation. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and you are just a short walk to the beach. The house was very clean and my wife and kids loved it. The bedrooms are large and there was plenty of room for the four of us. There would have been room for four more! The kitchen was well stocked with the basic items that you might need. The washer/dryer was a nice addition. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this house to our friends and family.
