Oak Breeze Cottage - Pet Friendly with Golf Cart

The only bad experience with this property was the owner controlled the AC. It was too warm at night. For sports on TV you had to have a personal password.

We really needed a getaway after months of lockdown, but also wanted to be super safe. This gem on Daufuskie Island was perfect! Deb, the manager was very attentive to our every need, even bringing us fresh baked bread. I was a little nervous about access to groceries, but the system of ordering from the Bluffton was easy, and a wonderful local chef named Ernestine will whip up tasty low country feasts! It really is a magical place, no crowds, a pristine beach, a quiet pool, and the perfect spot for some r&r.

In general, Daufuskie is hands down the place to go for rest and relaxation. Not only was it the perfect place to escape the craziness currently, but offers beauty and serenity like no other place. The house was everything we needed (and more)! Clean, thoughtfully decorated and Deborah was fantastic to work with! Highly recommend.

Great property and responsive management. We loved the size (plenty of space for our family of 4). Nice amenities including plenty of beach chairs, glassware and cookware. Kids loved roku tv. Not on the beachfront but very very close and easy access. Having Melrose pool was also nice. We would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Deborah was quick to respond to every question and request before and during our stay. I’ve never had a more helpful person to deal with. Our house was perfect for our family of 7 and we had a fabulous time exploring this beautiful and unique island. Would love to return.

We were looking for a safe place to visit during Covid with fewer people and we found the perfect place. The Melrose Beach had plenty of room to social distance and our dog was able to join us - her first trip to the ocean! This won't be our last trip to Daufuskie Island and we are already planning our next visit. Knowing now how the ferry ride and shuttle to the house work, it will be even more relaxing. We packed all our food for the week and all was easily and efficiently transported. Deborah and her team were so patient with questions before our arrival and so hospitable to us while we were there. Some of our outings included golf cart rides, horseback riding, kayak tour, paddle boarding and shopping with the local artists. While the Melrose Club being close by and abandoned is a bit different, the slow pace and lack of crowds makes Melrose Beach and Daufuskie Island a very special place.

Excellent house and location!!

We enjoyed our stay so much. Long days at the beach, but could go back to the house easily for whatever we needed. Great for our kids, we rented bikes and they were off to explore. Definitely wasn't ready to leave.

This was our family's first experience with vrbo, and our first trip to Daufuskie Island. We couldn't not have been any more pleased! The cottage was perfect - charming beach decor, clean, exactly as described! The location was great - plenty of privacy and quiet, close to the beach, close to Melrose pool, and easy to navigate from on the golf cart. (We heavily depended on the map the first day!) Everyone enjoyed the screened porch and hammock in the backyard. It was a fun, relaxing place for all our meals (We ate out twice - Crab Co. & Lucy Bell's - both yummy), and evening reading (A great selection of books in the cottage.) The last day, we discovered an armadillo in the backyard. (Don't wait til the last day to explore the back yard like we did.) Deborah was a perfect host. She was available and so helpful - before and during our visit. Since it was our first trip to Daufuskie, I had lots of questions and appreciated all her answers and tips. Daufuskie is a wonderful, but unique place, so be sure to do your homework. The other reviews here also have good info. We tried to pack lightly and it was good to know there was a fully equipped kitchen stocked with some basics; & beach toys, etc. We spent a lot of time on the beach- relaxing, walking, playing, & even watched the sun rise one morning. The beach was lovely, and you have so much room to yourself. It wasn't really conducive for swimming (super oozy sand at low tide, and this season has plenty of jelly fish) but we were all happy finding other things to do on the beach. We had planned to visit the Melrose pool on our last day, but then learned that it was closed on Wednesdays. We explored most of the island - briefly at some of the points of interest. We loved learning the island's history and enjoyed the unique artisans' wares (the indigo fabrics was my favorite) - all of which I plan to revisit and spend more time in a future stay at Daufuskie. I would definitely recommend this vacation if you want a casual, relaxing spot. Daufuskie Island combined with this cottage and Deborah's help was the best getaway trip for our family. It's a unique atmosphere - and when we returned home, I was still waving at everyone!

We visited Daufuskie with some family and friends. Though spread across several houses, this house was our favorite. Three bedrooms not easy to find. Dog friendly was helpful. The kitchen was very well appointed (better than most). The back porch is very large / accommodating - we grilled several nights though we didn't spend a lot of time in the back (except where screened in) because of bugs (backs up to some woods/marsh). The property manager Deb was extremely helpful! Everything worked very well - so we had no issues / but Deb was very available and helpful with our few random questions/requests. I would definitely come back and hope to do so soon. I almost hesitate to provide this review for fear of others discovering and the property being booked next time :)
