"The proximity to the beach was perfect and having a heated pool made for an excellent stay. The house was spacious and comfortable and the golf cart was an added bonus. Would stay here again."

This beautiful oasis on Daufuskie was the perfect spot for our Spring Break! The inside of the house is very clean and decorated beautifully. There is 3 levels with a living room on each so it is a great value for multiple families who want their own space. All bedrooms have full bathrooms and 3 of the 5 bedrooms have ocean views. Baby gates and a pack n play were provided which helped so much with luggage. The outside was exactly what we wanted to entertain the kids, the beach is full of downed trees that were perfect for climbing and tide pools for hunting creatures. It is not a sandy swimming beach but the property has one of those in each direction, a short golf cart ride away. We enjoyed nights around the fire pit and mornings on the balconies watching wildlife. We saw dolphins and deer every morning. Karla, the house manager, helped us more in preparation for our trip than Google ever could! We took her packing suggestions and island recommendations and had a blast! I recommend Ron at Daufuskie Carts for golf carts and if you have a larger group and don’t want to pay extra for bags and groceries, the private ferry through Island Head was a deal and took the stress off of packing limitations. We will be back!

Fantastic house! The pictures don’t do it justice, the house is beautiful, spacious, well apportioned, quiet, scenic, just perfect.

Visiting Daufuskie is a unique experience, and this house is one of the more unique and fun houses on the island. Currently, the house sits out over the water during high tide. The house has 3 decks on the water, so you have an amazing view of the sunrise most mornings. Carla, the property manager, is great and will help you with everything needed to get to the house as well as anything that comes up. I've stayed at a number of vrbo properties, and she's the most helpful property manager I've worked with. There are not a lot of groceries or restaurants on the island. If you plan out your meals and pack a large cooler, you will be more than fine. The house is very nice, but it is also a great place to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with family and friends.
