    Getting to Daufuskie Island is something of an ordeal and once you arrive, you'll have very limited dining and shopping options. This will turn some travelers off, but for us it was heaven! If you are enticed by near-empty-beaches, fascinating and complex history, nature in abundance, welcoming people, and ancient moss-draped live oaks, you will likely love Daufuskie and this home is a perfect choice for staying in comfort close to the beach.

    Staying in this cottage made our trip to Daufuskie. I think every family member took a turn with a nap on the porch swing! The house is beautifully appointed, very clean and has lots of interesting books and island info. It's just steps from the beach and a short cart ride or walk to the pool. It had everything that we needed to make delicious meals and really feel at home - Debbie was super responsive with any questions and tips as to island happenings. We were visiting with another family who stayed in a beachfront cottage and the most of the shared meals that were supposed to be split between houses were at our cottage because it was so great!

    Our stay at the cottage was wonderful. Cathie was incredible. Very helpful with every question. The home is equipped with anything you need to stay a few days or a month, plus. Beautifully furnished, location is couldn’t be closer to the beach. Grand old trees & nature/wildlife abound. What’s not to love. Thank you for sharing paradise.

    Front porch swing was the perfect spot for coffee in the morning. Equipped kitchen was great for meals in and lots of seating options for dining and playing games. Easy access to the beach and pool. Lunch at Bell's at the Beach was convenient.

    The cottage is well decorated however unfortunately we had some issues with flying cockroaches the first day we got in which through off the rest of stay. The entire island was without electricity for 3 hours due to a storm which tells us generators are needed. on the island as storms are inevitable during summer. We also were very surprised to learn that the Melrose community we were staying in went bankrupt thus leaving many of the surrounding homes boarded up. The community pool was dirty and not well cared for. We are glad we visited but not someplace we would come back. People need to know it takes a lot of coordination to get to the island and you may be disappointed once arriving.
