Can I Move In Permanently ?

This place is perfect! The best place for the grandchildren to play outdoors without worring. They can run and scream to their hearts content (and they did). Only a short and beautiful ride to the beach where again they can be carefree and loud as they want. The cottage had everything you need and more. It was clean, comfortable with doors and windows looking out into trees everywhere. The owners were just a phone call away with answers to any questions we had and could not have been nicer or helpfull. Deafuskie Island is full of history waiting to be explored. It is full of friendly people just waiting to tell you a story or give you directions to a "you gotta see this" place. And one woman will sell and even cook you the best devil crab in the world. So to anybody who has never been, take my advise. You Have To Go !

We just left the cottage 3 days ago and we cannot stop talking about our perfect vacation! We fell in love with Daufuskie Island and the cottage the moment we arrived. The golf cart was waiting for us as soon as we stepped off our boat. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The little touches Jay and Amy thought of such as board games, DVD'S and bikes helped make the stay more enjoyable for all. The golf cart was perfect and we stayed on it the entire time exploring the island. Marshside Mama's, homemade deviled crab by Ella Mae and hunting for ghost crabs at night were just a few fun memories. We cannot wait to go back and stay at Templeton Cottage!

#1 island and cottage for a stay in the United States!!

Guest: Peg (Indanapolis, IN)
Date of Stay: 04/03/11 Review Submitted: 04/11/11

The listing and photos of the cottage were beyond accurate!! It was a perfect spot for a week's vacation. We have chosen Daufuskie Island, and this cottage, to be our #1 island get-away in the United States. It takes first place with Achill Island, off of the west coast of Ireland. If you want a peaceful, beautiful setting with wide open beaches and friendly residents, renting the cottage (which is like living in a well-maintained "Tree House"), and enjoying the island is the way to go. We'll definitely be back!! By the way, best deviled crab on the east coast, both at the Crab Company restaurant and Marshland Mamas!!

Just got back from a trip to this place. IT worked out exactly as I'd hoped. Cool, quirky cottage. Nice price (having the cart included is a big help). Neat, secluded location. Jay was quite helpful, going beyond the call of duty to answer questions, help us arrange transportation, etc.

We found this listing by chance, and we could not have been more satisfied with our new-found treasure! A big thanks to the owner, Jay, for answering all of our questons with great tips and advice. Our trip went SO smoothly, from the ferry ride over, the golf cart waiting for us, directions to the property, everything we needed during our stay, to a beautiful beach and a fun island to explore! We had a blast and would strongly recommend staying at this fabulous Daufuskie cottage!

my wife and I were just looking for a night-as we were in Hilton Head and after being at this home we now want to go back for an extended time. The cottage was located to all points...via golf cart you are minutes from the beach, marshside mamas and basically everything, The cottage was very comfortable and had WIFI! I highly recommend it.

We had a fabulous vacation at the Templeton House.... I had never been to Daufuskie before and I am glad we did not stay anywhere else... My grandkids loved everything , the house came fully equipped .... The deer, ghost crabs, fox squirrels and alligator oh my gosh.... We would go out looking for these animals at dawn and night... One could not ask for anything by staying at the Templeton House. All we had to do was bring a few clothes and food.... Everything else was included... I am turning the big 60 next year and after thinkging about Rhode Island, New York and Alaska.... I have determined we are going to the Templeton House in Daufuskie Island. The people are great,and so are the locals.. I am including friends and family.... In fact, we have also considered going this fall, that is how much and charming the Templeton House was. Thanks Jay, for the hospitality... Willl be speaking with you soon.and looking forward to the future trips. Shelley Sapp and Family...

Daufuskie Island is amazing, and Jay was very helpful in regards to the ferry, golf cart and other island info. We found the house to be clean, cute and comfortable. It's a great island, and this house was perfect to go exploring from. Highly recommend it!

Jay & Amy, thanks so much for having this great place available for others! I can honestly say that was the funnest week of vacation our family has ever had. Being on Daufuskie is just so relaxing & there is everything we like to do in relation to water. Fish ,crab, swim at pool or beach,skiing,(when my boat cranks) cruise in the golf cart, then eat your catch of the day. Access to the resort as well what a blast !! The house is great & bigger than it looks in the pic's. Looking forward to the next visit. David, Beth, Dathan, Dustyn & Tabitha. David Scoggin, Wilmington Island, GA

This cottage offers all you need to stay on historical Daufuskie Island. The Templetons have created a wonderful cottage stocked with everything you will need to enjoy your stay. The cottage is cozy, comfortable, and filled with lots of windows to view this incredible place. I have already rented twice and planning to return in September. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to explore an island from a golf cart and fantastic accomodations.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The use of the golf cart allows you to explore the island. Daufuskie is a unique place with lots of history. This is a great place to stay, so you can experience all of the Island not just the resort area.

If you are looking for a quiet, off the beaten path kind of adventure, this is your place. Daufuskie is a one of a kind experience and this cottage was the perfect spot to stay on the island. It had everything we needed and the use of the golf cart got us all over the island. This cottage is perfect for a weekend getaway and its close to all the amenities and the beach. We will definitely be back very soon! Two thumbs up for this rental!
