Daufuskie Island visit

The house was wonderful and clean and spacious. Ocean view was lovely. We really enjoyed exploring the island on our golf cart. Not a complaint, but it was difficult finding food and places to eat on the island. There is only one general store and there really isn’t much to choose from. Just wished we had a little more information on that ahead of time.

Serene getaway

This property along with Daufuskie Island is a great location to decompress. This listing was perfect. Steps from the water, amenities to have fun outside, beautiful sunrises, great screened in porch to feel the warm breeze but being protected from direct sun and other elements. Very responsive hosts prior to arrival and with questions during stay. Highly recommend.

Amazing views and friendly host

Overall our get away was an awesome experience. Very peaceful island with friendly local people. The views are amazing and the private beach setting is a win. If your staying for a longer period of time with a large group be sure to plan ahead for groceries. Kurt and Tammy were awesome host and went out of their way to make sure our experience was awesome.

The property was everything we expected and more. The owner met us for a walk-through on arrival, which I've never had happen before. The available golf cart was a truly great amenity, since there is really nothing within walking distance. Beautiful weather nearly every day, at a beautiful place!
