    The pictures do not do this house justice, it is gorgeous and spacious with tall ceilings and a ton of windows so there are great views from every floor. It is well appointed with everything you need for cooking and entertaining. The beds were very comfortable. The beach out front is really private we only had a few people come by. It is really quiet. Definitely make sure to bring enough food and coffee, the stores have minimal items. The restaurants were good about updating their Google Business hours or websites. School grounds coffee house was great and super reliable. Up in Smoke has a fine dining option on Monday night with excellent food. You can get everywhere using maps and the signal and wifi was great. The beach out front takes some climbing to get to but not bad at all. There is a good public access for the beach at bloody point if you have anyone with mobility issues. Overall magical experience, we will be back. Thank you!

    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!

    It was a wonderful weekend! The home and view is absolutely beautiful! The owner and property manager are so great and accommodating! It is refreshing to stay in a rental home that was equipped with so much. They had everything we needed, which is so much different than most rental properties. We cannot say enough about our experience, we highly recommend this property!!

    We found the island to be a magical experience and the house was wonderful. We had 9 children age 4-13 and 7 adults. Everything was great. There are primarily 5 bedrooms and a great room but just a pull out couch. It would have been great to have kings in all the bedrooms but we loved the house. The host Karla was really helpful

    The house is as advertised inside. It is large, spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was heavily utilized for our large family and we made a lot of meals, which brings me to Daufuskie itself. This island has never recovered from the hurricane over a decade ago. The listing doesn’t mention that the beach is unusable by the house. There are large downed trees all along the beach and a busted sea wall making fishing almost impossible. The pool is literally sitting on the beach as a large concrete monument to the hurricane. There are two boarded up condemned houses on the beach right next to this house. The pictures on the outside of the house are pre hurricane I believe. Also, this house is not on a golf course. The golf course was abandoned some time ago and it just large areas of overgrown bushes and grass. We had a great time and if you like it quiet and private then this is a great place to stay. You won’t be disappointed with the inside of the house for sure.
