Daufuskie Island visit

The house was wonderful and clean and spacious. Ocean view was lovely. We really enjoyed exploring the island on our golf cart. Not a complaint, but it was difficult finding food and places to eat on the island. There is only one general store and there really isn’t much to choose from. Just wished we had a little more information on that ahead of time.

Serene getaway

This property along with Daufuskie Island is a great location to decompress. This listing was perfect. Steps from the water, amenities to have fun outside, beautiful sunrises, great screened in porch to feel the warm breeze but being protected from direct sun and other elements. Very responsive hosts prior to arrival and with questions during stay. Highly recommend.
