The property was great, clean, and well stocked with everything you need to cook dinner or go to the beach. Jay provided clear communication on how to get to the property, check in, and check out. The only hiccup was that the shower water was kind of cold. But that will not stop us from coming back!

The place is nestled in a quiet place on the island. You are about 10 minutes from the beaches. The owner stocked the place with the necessities you will need. There is a lot of history on the island and restaurants around. In fact their is a breakfast place down the road from the cabin, named Driftwood. Really enjoyed our stay.

A great dog-friendly cottage with all you need to cook and relax. The tree-canopy view is a plus. Jay was super responsive. Highly recommend.

Loved Daufuskie & the Templeton Cottage

The Templeton Cottage was the perfect weekend rental for our boat trip from Charleston. Communication was excellent and the house was well-appointed with everything we needed and more. We can't wait to come back.
