Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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
