Jul 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Daufuskie Dream Daufuskie was a prefect vacation spot—few people, slow pace, beautiful beach! This home was beautiful and fit our three families perfectly! The beach is steps out the back door and we were pleasantly surprised with the wagon, beach chairs, and toys! We chose this house based on beach and pool availability. So it was very disappointing the pool was not open and that it was never communicated to us that it closed. The kitchen is very sparsely equip and nothing was provided when we asked—no pitcher (we laddled tea from a bowl all week🤣). Management did replace a broken coffee carafe within 24 hours but the kitchen has NOTHING—pack it all: coffee filters (basket), paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, etc. Its a lot of extra planning to get to Daufuskie—ferry, food, transport, cart rental. But it’s very much worth it!! ##### Hannah F.

Aug 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Daufuskie vacation This house was beautifully appointed - great mattresses! Very clean property / everything a family needs for a beach vacation including a nice selection of beach chairs and boogie boards - even some sand toys for the little kids and direct access to the beach. Nice perk to have a golf cart included since no cars are allowed on Daufuskie. The property manager was very helpful in preparing for the trip and with answering all my emails. It is unfortunate that the resort itself went under during the 2009 recession so it’s a bit off putting at first but the restaurant and pools are again now open so that was great. The uncrowded beach and beautiful home was what we were looking for and this place delivered that for our family of 9 that included Grandparents, parents, and kids. A couple of places to eat / flip flops and shorts casual so no need to over pack but I would recommend you come prepared to cook most of your own meals if you’re planning to stay more than a day or two. Supplies are limited at the 2 places on the island to shop so bring what you need. I highly recommend reserving the water taxi service - they are unconcerned with a large amount of luggage - which we had with 9 people for 5 days. If you are looking for relaxation and privacy - I highly recommend this place. If you’re looking for entertainment and fancy restaurants you probably should go to Hilton Head / which you can see directly across the bay. We’ll be back to Daufuskie again! ##### Sherri L.

Jul 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Review of 82 Avenue of Oaks We had never visited Daufuskie before, but the experience will certainly bring us back. It was a wondrous experience, and the house was fantastic -- well-appointed, on the ocean, and in a quiet neighborhood. The only "pick" I have is that the garbage bins in front need to be enlarged to accommodate the trash generated by a family of 11 during a weeklong stay. We experienced "Elsa," and don't want to go through that experience again -- aside from the wind and rain, the loss of power for a day was no fun. Even through all of that, Deborah was in touch to provide reports and check on us. We recommend the house unreservedly. ##### catesby w.

House was nice and roomy. Perfect for a large group. Kitchen was well stocked. Instructions were provided with great information. Rental company was kind and helpful. One of the TVs was broken which normally would not have been an issue because we were always out doing stuff, but we did have some family members with us that needed the TV. I did let the host know upon check in just so she was aware and didn't think it was us. Turns out it has been broken for awhile and they just haven't replaced it. My husband and I just took that room and gave the other rooms to other family members. Not a big enough deal to ruin the trip. Other than that we had a fantastic time! ##### Danielle G.

So fresh and tastefully decorated. We felt so welcomed upon arrival, the TVs were all playing soft music in each bedroom. The house has a wonderful view and easy access to the ocean. Loved this trip. So much adventure each day and great fun riding the golf carts to explore. We all had our own private bedroom/bath. Plenty of space to gather or retreat. ##### Lisa H.

Three families shared this beautiful house on the Atlantic Ocean. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 5 children. Exploring the island and meeting the locals was a lot of fun. The farm, distillery, general store and crab company were some of our favorites. We look forward to returning soon. ##### John H. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt L.
