We had a great time seeing the island and spending time together. It is such a great place with a lovely community. Thank you for allowing us to use your home!
My wife and I loved everything about this place. Absolutely beautiful and the island has its own magic. We definitely plan to return, she actually made me promise her we would come back every year. House is top notch and we couldn't have asked for a better location on the beach. Shout out to our host for being so understanding and helpful with our situation. It definitely made for one of our most memorable trips. Can't wait to plan for next year.
We have stayed at this property more times than I can count. The hosts are lovely. The new renovations are GREAT! Highly recommend.

I’ll start by saying we really enjoyed the island. It was the perfect getaway for our group, and a wonderful time away. I don’t, however, think we’d stay at this property again. If you haven’t been to the island before, there’s quite a bit of information you need to know before booking, which wasn’t totally clear until the booking had been secured. The property itself appeared well kept at first glance, and very accurate to the description. After some time, it started to feel more like a “showroom” than a functional living space. (Cabinets that didn’t open, shower curtains held up by duct tape, etc)During our stay, we found food in the bedroom that hadn’t been cleaned up and cockroaches that ended up coming home with us. The pool that’s listed at the property is an HOA pool that costs 20/person per day to use. With the size of our group (8 people), we needed two golf carts. There wasn’t room to charge two golf carts at the same time, which made traveling as a group incredibly difficult. Despite these issues, we had a wonderful time and would recommend visiting the island. I do wish our stay could have lived up to the quality we paid for.

We are very happy that you enjoyed the island!
When your group booked the property on 4/15/26, you received an extensive welcome message with the extra steps required to travel to Daufuskie, a PDF with water transportation options, land transportation options, cart rental companies, and information regarding shops and stores on the island.
Our listing also clearly states that water & land transportation and golf carts are required for this property. We state that these items are not provided by the rental property and the expense is the guest's responsibility.
It was not until the final payment was due one week prior to your arrival that y'all appeared to read this information. At this time, you asked to cancel, and we were more than happy to refund one night of your two night stay. We felt this was more than fair given such short notice prior to your stay and outside of our cancellation policy.
We do apologize that the cart company did not provide you with extension cords for the golf carts. There are four outside outlets. After your departure we received the complaint regarding the cart company (that is outside of our control). We asked you which company you rented from so we can request they provide long enough cords for future guests. We received no response.
We also apologize for the shower curtain, that was remedied less than 10 hours after you alerted us at 10pm. A lack of cleanliness and other complaints in your review were never mentioned during your stay or we would have been more than happy to fix the issues. Unfortunately, "palmetto bugs" are a part of the Low Country and live in the beautiful oak trees that cover the island.
We do appreciate your feedback and are glad you and your friends enjoyed the island! Daufuskie is truly a wonderful place to visit and we wish all the visitors truly enjoy it!
We stayed here 3 years ago & we were so pleased to see the lovely upgrades to the cottage. It is close to the beach & a golf cart ride to anywhere on the island. We love it here & will return soon!

Thank you so much! We are so glad y'all visited again and enjoyed the island!
Right on a beautiful beach! Note: this stay does not come with salt, pepper, oil for cooking, or dish soap - we had to get a frantic grocery delivery from a friend coming in the next day to account for these.

We are so happy that y'all enjoyed the beach we are located on!
We are terribly sorry due to not providing salt, pepper, and oil- received a 6/10 rating. We do not provide these items due to complaints we received regarding the brand, quality, or quantity of supplies when we did.
We do however provide dish soap, but it is a starter size. We do apologize if we forgot to put it out, we would have been more than happy to bring one by the cottage for you.
We have two general stores on the island that provide the cooking items listed in the review.
We hope y'all enjoyed the island and had the best time on vacation!
