Wonderful cottage!

We enjoyed three nights in this beautiful cottage in Melrose Plantation on Daufuskie Island. The cottage was every bit as nice as the pictures which is rare. Just across the lawn you will find a nice beach, great for sunbathing, looking toward Hilton Head and Harbortown. Located close by is a very nice pool complex you can access (even though it comes with a rather steep fee of $25.00/ day/person.) Daufuskie doesn’t have much to offer in the way of dining and grocery stores are limited to a convenience store level. Having the golf cart available is a much-needed necessity. Tammy at JonBie Maison agency was very helpful and quick to respond.

Hidden paradise

We came for a small bachelorette party and had the absolute best time! The property was very clean and had everything you could need. Tammy and her husband were very responsive and went out of their way multiple times to make sure our stay was wonderful! Even to the point where they made sure we were taken care of at the beach with paddle boards, beach seating and umbrellas. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone!

Perfect Getaway

This place was awesome for our family and friends. Very spacious with the perfect amenities. The owner, Kurt, provided us with extra bikes and actually came and met us on our arrival to give us a run down on what there was for us to do on the island. He was awesome!!!! Look forward to staying with them again next summer.

Amazing stay, perfect location! Pictures can’t do it justice!

Property managers were outstanding, incredibly thoughtful, kind, and helpful. The property itself far exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and plush and made us feel at home. The view from the back screened porch was so peaceful in the mornings. And the walk to the beach took 2-3 minutes. It’s such a breathtaking area. We will be back and hope to stay here again! It’s a perfect balance of fun and relaxation!

Dafuskie

Dafuskie is a gem! Each time we come to visit or stay on the island we love it. The history, the beautiful beaches, and the people are all wonderful. This home had a beautiful location. It is very close to the beach and you can sit on the porch while listening to the waves.

magical vacation!

Tammy and her husband were very helpful and welcoming, and even told us the best spot for crabbing. There were issues with some pipes (beyond their control!) and they quickly moved us to another house right on the beach. Everything was clean and comfortable, and there were nice touches like popcorn and coffee left for us to enjoy. We loved that there were bikes and a golf cart included, and we had a lot of fun exploring the island. Such a wonderful, much needed vacation!

Love the island life

This was our third trip to Daufuskie, we always rent from Tammy (Jonbie Maison). Her properties are the best and always well maintained, comfortable and well stocked. This property was no exception, our stay was fantastic and we loved the tranquil marsh setting from the back porch. Would definitely stay again!

Not clean - pest control problem

This unit was covered in nasty pest. Roach infested. It wasn’t cleaned - the floors haven’t been mopped in a long time. It was very disappointing. The team was responsive but obviously only do the bare minimum in between stays. We have rentals and would NEVER allow this type of filth. Bring your own cleaning supplies- you are gonna need it.

Secluded quiet getaway!

We were looking for quiet and secluded and we found it. The house was clean and nicely decorated. Very comfortable beds. The beach was just across the street. We wished we had brought a few groceries with us. Not much to choose from on the island. We did find great pizza and tacos. But it was a great time and the island is beautiful. We had everything we needed for the beach even towels.

Charming getaway cottage

This duplex cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, professionally managed, and just steps from a beach. Everything in the host’s control was top notch. Unfortunately it is located in a resort development which appears to have gone bankrupt years ago (tarps on several roofs, boarded up buildings, closed restaurant). This was a bit of a bummer, but the good side of it is the beaches are not crowded at all. There is not much to do on the island and we probably should have stayed 2 nights instead of 3. Overall though I am glad we went. There is a lot of interesting history - and potential for the future - at Daufuskie.
