A Piece of Heaven: Oceanfront 3 BR/3 bath villa -- FREE golf cart!

"No Bridge, No Problem" is the motto of this little island. You'll take a ferry to get to Daufuskie Island which takes a little planning, but it means this island has remained secluded and beautiful. No crowds, no shopping centers, and very few paved roads -- a golf cart is all you need -- and we include a 4 person cart with your rental price (saving you $60+ per night and the hassle of booking one yourself). Enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets, miles of uncrowded beaches for walking, gentle waves for playing in the ocean, and a large pool just steps from this Sandy Lane villa with a short boardwalk to the beach. This is our happy place, and we hope it will be yours! From the moment you step inside the door, you will feel peaceful and pampered; there is a master bedroom with ocean views, a huge balcony along two sides of the unit with panoramic views and total privacy, and brand-new interior paint, floors, and decor. We are new owners who have renovated and updated every single room in the last year. With three bedrooms and three full baths, it's the perfect place to share with friends and family. There are two full master suites with king beds and soaking tubs, and the third bedroom has an attached bath and a king bed. We chose our unit for the privacy and quiet, since it doesn't overlook the pool -- you'll see the ocean on the front and trees on the side! And it's an end unit with no shared walls with another unit.

Since our family vacations here too, we tried to think of everything you will need for your stay: all bed linens and bath towels plus 6 plush beach towels, 6 beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, smart tvs/cable, books, games, highchair, booster chair, pack & play, linens, fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of basic supplies to get you through the week (paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, spices, olive oil, etc.). You'll need to bring food to supplement the little restaurants on the island -- we have lots of tips about what to bring and how to pack. Once you book, we will send you a document with everything you need to plan your trip and answer any questions along the way. A local company, Daufuskie Transit, offers land transportation for you and your luggage from the ferry landing to the villa. Your golf cart will be waiting there for you! There are also companies on the island that offer bike rentals, water sports, fishing excursions, day trips to Savannah and Hilton Head, history tours, and more.

For history lovers, you might enjoy reading Pat Conroy's novel, The Water is Wide (or watching the movie), since the story is about his time teaching the Gulla children on the island in a two-room schoolhouse. The island is rich in history and there's plenty to explore with a small museum and a self-guided tour of historic sites around the island.

**Also, please note this unit is on the 3rd floor of a 4-story building. There is an elevator, but only one. It has occasionally gone out for a brief time, so it's important that everyone in your party could manage the stairs in case of emergency.**

The property was quiet as promised. The tide was extremely high during our visit which limited our beach fun a bit.

We originally saw this condo unit during one of our day trips to daufuskie island and thought how fun would it be to stay there? Next year we found this listing and didn’t hesitate to book, and will be a spot we continue to come back to each year. The location was great - ocean front, with a pool, the property itself matched the pictures exactly. There was minor items that could use some updating such as some of flooring was separating/splitting, one of the sink drains didn’t work, the AC must have been on a schedule and we would wake up in the mornings with it getting hotter in the unit but we were able to adjust with the thermostat, the beds could have used a topper of some sort as the mattresses as they were a bit hard, but again mostly cosmetic and personal preference and nothing that would make me not want to come back. The owner of the property was great to answer any and all questions we had and even provided a big packet with anything and everything you would need to know about the island before and during your stay. It was one of our favorite vrbo’s we’ve booked and will be back!

Peaceful
This is a little piece of heaven! The unit is exactly as described. The Villa is located in a very remote portion of the island and right on the beach. My husband and I enjoyed watching the sunrise right from the balcony. The Villa is furnished in very calm and peaceful colors and fabrics. Kristin has thought of everything including many books, puzzles and even cards to enjoy your down time. The golf cart was the icing on the cake, providing us with transportation on the island during our sight seeing. We explored every inch of the island and talked with locals. They are so very nice and are also a wealth of knowledge. If you are looking to really get away, Daufuskie Island is the place to go.

Perfect Family Vacation
The property was more than perfect for our family of 4. Unfortunately, my in laws weren’t able to make the trip as planned due to the storm coming though. However, there was plenty of room to accommodate them. There are 3 king size bedrooms with a connecting bathroom in each allowed privacy for each room. We liked the open floor plan, direct access to the beach, board games, and the kindest hosts. Kristen was very responsive and considerate. The only downside was the elevator was broken during our visit (not the hosts’ fault). If it does go out, be prepared to walk up 3 flights of stairs. We would definitely stay here again.

This destination is for those who truly want to get away! The condo is perfect in every way. It’s spacious and clean, the beds are comfy, and everything is very up to date. The Blinson’s think of everything you’ll need…just bring your swimsuit, sunblock, and food!

Great long weekend.
We loved our stay here! We did a girls weekend with my mother and my daughter. While it took some work to get the transport to the island set up coming in from Savannah (I think it is a bit easier to come in from Hilton Head) - it was worth every bit of hassle to set it up. The condo is gorgeous and the island vibe is very chill and relaxed. Kristen was great to work with and super helpful! We fully plan to come back again - hopefully soon!

Storms
This property was wonderful. We were stuck inside because it rained almost the whole time we were there. I am so thankful the condo was nice and big and gave us plenty of space. I was not impressed with the beach and ocean. The ocean looked like lake water. The beach was covered with dead jellyfish and the smell was horrible. The Daufunski atmosphere was really cool. Enjoyed the dirt roads and traveling in a golf cart. If we had nice weather I think I would loved the atmosphere. Eating out was limited. There is only one place to go out to eat in the evening. Because of the storms, most everything closed. I probably wouldn’t go back because of the nasty beach and ocean. If this place had a nice beach it would be heavenly.

More than a piece of Haven
I would give this property a 10!!! First of all, the location is great, we enjoyed listening to the ocean. We especially like the 3rd. Floor because the 4th floor gave you a lot of shade. The 4th floor could be brutal with full Sun. The property was CLEAN and came with all the amenities including Beach Chairs and beach Towels (an added Plus). There are two outdoor gas grills which was a nice touch. We actually planning our next visit there for next year! This island is WONDERFUL, however you need to plan ahead for food. On Saturday there is a small farmers market on Haig Pt Rd. vegetables, fresh fish, Shrimp but no Meats. The two general stores have very limited supplies. The Old Daufuskie Crab Company is the place to Eat and Hang Out. The Pubic Dock is the BEST spot for Sunset Pictures!!!! On a side note: we use Bull Marina on Wilmington Island, there are two Grocery stores nearby to stock up on food. But Don’t go crazy with ice, it adds weight to the boat. We froze some of our food! Otherwise, enjoy this Property and Island!!! It’s like stepping by in time!

The perfect vacation rental for our 20th anniversary! We had never been to the island, but we soon found out that we chose the right place. The beach behind this unit is the best on the island. Clean and quiet! The owner thought of everything possible. There truly isn't anything negative to include in this review. No disappointments here!!

Wonderful Oceanfront Condo on A Spectacular Island
If you are planning on staying on Daufuskie choose this condo. Spacious, airy, and a very clean space. Great oceanfront view feet from long walks on the beach. Setup is great for two or three couples or two couples with a couple of children. Huge balcony! Condo includes a washer and dryer and a golf cart rental with Daufuskie Life (five star service). I highly recommend this rental.
