Second time at this property!

We love this property so much that we came back again this year. It's perfect for our group of ten. The kitchen has everything we need to cook our meals and there is plenty of space to spread out.

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

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.

Everything was spectacular. The property owners are great, communication was easy, the house was in perfect condition. Views are not to be beat and the ocean is literally across a golf cart path.
