Kenneth went above and beyond to make sure my family (first time visitors) knew exactly how to get the most out of their vacation. Great location and tremendous value as the house felt quite spacious, even with a group of ten. We will absolutely be back. Thank you! ##### Aaron H.

The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed sitting in the rockers on the big screened porch! We roasted marshmallows around the backyard fire pit each night and played card games. We all had a great time and enjoyed a relaxing weekend on beautiful Daufuskie! The owner, Kenneth, was very friendly, helpful and full of great information! ##### Lisa N. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John M. 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Melrose Daufuskie Stay My fiance & I enjoyed our stay at the property. From the start, Kenneth was very responsive & accommodating. He was happy to answer any questions I had about getting to the island, recs on food/things to do, etc. When we got to the island, Kenneth & Austin were waiting for us at County Dock w the golf cart & a truck to assist w getting everything to the house (round trip free of charge - other services on the island charge $25-30+ a head for land transportation). The home is very well appointed with everything (& then some) that one could think of or need. The property is located in Melrose, which is a quick cart ride to everything the island has to offer. The free cart was very much appreciated (great value here again - we stayed for 3 nights, so saved use $250-300 plus). The large screened in porch was great, as was the location within Melrose - it's the only house at the end of a cul de sac on a large lot - the property has the right mix of seclusion/privacy without being too far away from everything. Kenneth provided us with his personal cell # in case of any issues w the cart, house, etc (there weren't any but had any issues arisen, I know Kenneth would have handled them appropriately/promptly). You can tell Kenneth & Austin take pride in providing a great experience. I've stayed on Daufuskie dozens of times over the past 10 or so yrs - this is easily one of the best properties I have stayed at & would rec w/o hesitation. Our dogs loved it too! ##### John M.
