Great Home & Great Beach
We had an absolutely fantastic stay! The house is right on the beach, making it super easy to pack a bag or cart and head down for some fun in the sun. The house had everything we could have needed: fridge w/ water & ice, extra beach chairs, app enabled TVs, plenty of seating for meals, and very clean! My father, brother, and nephew fished every day and caught something new each time. The kids (ages 10, 11, 13, and 14) had a blast on the beach, especially during low tide when the water was shallow for a long way out. It felt like we had the beach almost to ourselves, with only about 10 other people around, which was amazing! This was our first time on Daufuskie Island, so we made sure to plan ahead and bring meals and groceries. Next time, we'll bring more ready-to-bake meals to cut down on the groceries we need to bring over from Hilton Head.Daufuskie Cart and Captain Chez were absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to come back!

No hot water for half of the house for 6 day
The property was nicely situated on the beach. Clean, but 2 of the 5 bedrooms asa well as the kitchen had no hot water. There's no one able to fix it for 6 days we were there. A guy came out the 2nd and 4th day to fix it but was unable to fix it for longer than 1 minute. Then they blamed the propane company for the problem. No one actually came out that had experience in fixing hot water heaters.
I requested a partial refund for the hassle and inability to use 2 showers and kitchen sink. Never heard from them again except to offer a discount on our next stay. No way am i spending a ton of money with a company that doesn't make good on their promised 5 bedroom, 5 bath property

Living on an island without a bridge, we often face difficulties in getting qualified technicians to come over on the weekend and fix equipment such as tankless hot water heaters. We have onsite employees that are incredibly handy that we sent out to the cottage, and they successfully got the heater working before they departed. The majority of the guests staying at the cottage appeared to be very pleased with our efforts, even mentioning that if the hot water heater stopped working again, they would be fine to use the other bathrooms. As for refunds, no guests requested one while on the island, leading us to believe that everyone was content with our prompt and efficient service. However, it was only after the guests had left and returned home that they asked for compensation. Interestingly, we have not encountered any issues with the heater since their departure, which gives us confidence that our on-island service personnel effectively resolved the problem.
We take a lot of pride in our prompt service and strive to give every guest the best experience possible which usually leads to 5 star reviews with all properties.

Good for large groups
We had 10 people in our group and there was plenty of space. Great location and updated house. We only had two minor issues: ice maker doesn’t make much ice but you can buy some on the island and the dryer takes a long time to dry clothes or towels…not real issues just things to account for. Overall very happy with the house and would stay again if we ever come back to daufuskie.
