Felt like home but with a better view

We loved the property. The front wrap around porch was wonderful. A great place to have dinner in the evening and a cup of coffee on the swing in the morning. It was very family and pet friendly. Deborah was extremely helpful with information for arrangements and things to do. The beaches were relaxing and not crowded. Everything about the island was laidback and simple. A great place to go and unwind. We will be back!

A true escape

Getting to Daufuskie Island is something of an ordeal and once you arrive, you'll have very limited dining and shopping options. This will turn some travelers off, but for us it was heaven! If you are enticed by near-empty-beaches, fascinating and complex history, nature in abundance, welcoming people, and ancient moss-draped live oaks, you will likely love Daufuskie and this home is a perfect choice for staying in comfort close to the beach.

Best Cottage on the Row!

Staying in this cottage made our trip to Daufuskie. I think every family member took a turn with a nap on the porch swing! The house is beautifully appointed, very clean and has lots of interesting books and island info. It's just steps from the beach and a short cart ride or walk to the pool. It had everything that we needed to make delicious meals and really feel at home - Debbie was super responsive with any questions and tips as to island happenings. We were visiting with another family who stayed in a "beachfront" cottage and the most of the shared meals that were supposed to be split between houses were at our cottage because it was so great!

creating memories

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful. Cathie was incredible. Very helpful with every question. The home is equipped with anything you need to stay a few days or a month, plus. Beautifully furnished, location is couldn’t be closer to the beach. Grand old trees & nature/wildlife abound. What’s not to love. Thank you for sharing paradise.

Great location and amenities

Front porch swing was the perfect spot for coffee in the morning. Equipped kitchen was great for meals in and lots of seating options for dining and playing games. Easy access to the beach and pool. Lunch at Bell's at the Beach was convenient.

Lovely cottage but interesting stay

The cottage is well decorated however unfortunately we had some issues with flying cockroaches the first day we got in which through off the rest of stay. The entire island was without electricity for 3 hours due to a storm which tells us generators are needed. on the island as storms are inevitable during summer. We also were very surprised to learn that the Melrose community we were staying in went bankrupt thus leaving many of the surrounding homes boarded up. The community pool was dirty and not well cared for. We are glad we visited but not someplace we would come back. People need to know it takes a lot of coordination to get to the island and you may be disappointed once arriving.

Wonderful relaxing stay!

My husband and I scheduled a last minute trip to step away from the craziness of the world for total relaxation. We didn't know what to expect as this was our first trip to the island, but we were very pleased. The property was updated, very clean and the kitchen well stocked. Communication with property management was excellent. We spent our time walking on the beach, which was a short distance away, sitting on the magnificent porch and exploring the island by golf cart. We mostly cooked but did eat at Daufauski Crab Company, which was good. We hated to leave, but will be back later this year to stay at this property. **Note that you have to pass the abandoned resort building and a couple of boarded up cottages.

Great Secluded Island Get Away

Beautiful property, beautiful location. We had great time, and plan to come back at sometime in the future. We took plenty of food with us since very limited supplies available on island.

Wonderful Place

We had an amazing time on the island and the house has everything you need for your Daufuskie stay. Deborah was attentive and easily accessible and has great knowledge about the area. We spent alot of time hanging on the front porch with the kids eating, napping on the swing while listening to the waves crash on thebeach at high tide. We would highly recommend this place (family of four)

Perfect beach getaway

Let’s start with the house. At less than 100 yards from the beach with views of the ocean from the front porch, it is an ideal setting. You are right in the heart of the island - ten minutes on a cart from just about anything the island has to offer. The house is clean, well stocked in the kitchen, with ample reading nooks and relaxation spots. Everything is easy to find and we didn’t encounter a single “I wish this house had...” moment. Communication with Deborah, the property manager, was quick, easy and clear. She is clearly a knowledgeable professional who loves her work. Our only regret was the shortness of the stay. We will definitely come back. Daufuskie is a unique place. It is luxurious but not extravagant, beautiful but not man-made, fun without cheap entertainment, mysterious but not haunted. It is not a trip you will soon forget. It is a place that time (and development) has seemingly forgot - and that is a good thing. If you go, be respectful of its residents, both human and otherwise, and the rich history and culture that surround you.

We came all the way from Chicago to experience a week of beautiful weather steps from the beach. The property and location are great. The house has everything you need and the kitchen amenities are super night quality. The swinging bed on the front porch was our favorite spot!

Relaxing long weekend!

The house is comfortable and beautifully furnished with a wonderful wrap around front porch with views of the ocean. Only a short walk or golf court ride to the uncrowded beach. We saw bald eagles, wood storks, egrets, herons and a variety of other birds while walking in the area. Don’t ’ miss Lucy Bells for lunch.
