Awesome Vacation

Within our first 48 hours we saw alligators, armadillo, dolphins and baby turtles going from their nest to the ocean ... absolutely amazing experience and island. The house was perfect for us, every afternoon was quiet reading time on the screened in porch enjoying the view, everyone had their own shower and bathroom, and the folks at DRG were extremely accommodating and even checked in to make sure we settled in alright after our first night.

Great property! Beach very private. Staying in island was very hard. Had to have pretty much all you needed for groceries before getting there. Couldn’t get anything shipped last minute. Few restaurants on island can be very pricey

Absolutely perfect!!!

This was by far the BEST vacation rental home our family has ever stayed in -- for many, many reasons!! The home is gorgeous and even more spacious than it looks in photos. The location is ideal being so close to the beach and the pool, yet private and quiet. The beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen, living room, and screened porch had everything we needed!! AND on top of all that is so wonderful about this luxury vacation home, Deb Smith from DRG should receive an award for the way she helped us navigate a family emergency during our stay. She took "taking care of our guests" to a whole new level! We will 100% stay here again when we return to Daufuskie Island!

Great spring break vacation

This property was wonderful for a multigenerational family group of ten to stay for a week. It was our first time to stay on Daufuskie Island and we have already started talking about what we will do there next year. There is a learning curve associated with staying on Daufuskie but now that we have mastered it we look forward to coming again. (A shout out to Keri our valet grocery shopper she was amazing. And Chef Spencer from Savannah who made a birthday meal special.)

A beautiful intro to Daufuskie

This gorgeous home exceeded all of our expectations. It felt like brand new construction and we loved how incredibly clean and spacious it was. We used the screened in porch all day long and the view of the beach was beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked and there was lots of room for our entire group to be seated together for meals. The management company was incredibly helpful and answered every question we had. We would stay here again without hesitation. Thank you for helping to make our first trip to Daufuskie a perfect one!

New Favorite

This house is one of my all time favorite vacations rentals. We had a group of 10, 5 couples and this house was perfect: great location, comfortable beds, and good WIFI. (I know, its vacation, but some had to stay connected a little for work). All of the logistics for a vacation on Daufuskie Island can be a challenge, but the rental agency guided us through every step. We all loved everything about the island and will probably be back!

Fabulous stay!

The cottage was perfect, better than photos! The island was so unique, so wild and so beautiful. Saw Eagles, deer, and alligators! From a distance! So much fun exploring in the golf carts. Weather was different every day, didnt have a bug issue because it wasnt hot. Not much was open but we had a blast! Such great locals!

A Beachfront Beauty

This comfortable and clean cottage was as advertised. We could tell the house had been recently renovated into a luxury rental. There was plenty of room for all of us. Everyone loved having their own master suites with bathrooms. The proximity to the beach and beautiful views all day long kept us relaxed all weekend. We love the privacy of Daufuskie Island and would stay at this rental again without hesitation.

Awesome Spot and Host

The place was great. Awesome views, good house for groups. If I’m splitting hairs... the house is very loud, you can hear everything from any of the bedrooms. Not a big deal for our group, but might not be great for everyone. The host also sent another group to our house, they were inside our rental when we arrived. Was a little awkward considering Covid and all. Host wasn’t super responsive, although ultimately we had everything we needed!

Wonderful beach front secluded getaway

This property was amazing and perfect for our family get together. It was secluded and perfect for the times. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was perfect for different families. A beautiful kitchen and screened in porch to view the ocean. Since it was a little chilly we loved the gas fireplace in the living room that added a nice cozy touch. The property manager was very helpful prior and during our stay. Would definitely recommend a relaxing getaway to this house and Daufuskie Island in general.
