Retraite Pieds dans le sable - Penthouse - Voiturette de golf incluse

I can’t say enough good stuff about this family vacation at Daufuskie Island. I’d never even heard of it but was planning a vacation and literally trying to find a place that would be so far off the beaten path we’d have no choice but to unplug and relax. This unit popped up and I was intrigued. I was offered the option to have the rental company make all arrangements, including the boat ride across to and from, transportation to and from the dock and the golf cart waiting for us at the rental unit, and I went ahead and had them do it so I had even less to do. The unit was breathtaking, views from large portions of the unit of nothing but ocean. A large active osprey nest nearby to watch from the wrap around porch. Lots of little roads to explore with the golf cart. Several restaurants with great food. Lots of history. LOTS of wildlife! And miles of beautiful, largely empty, sandy beach. A place I’d never heard of before has now risen to the top of our most favorite places and one we will most definitely be planning to return to. The only “negatives” are a few minor things. As mentioned, it’s only accessible by boat or ferry so take that into consideration. There’s no grocery store on the island, so prepare to buy groceries and bring with, and that takes some prep. There were a few mechanical issues within the unit, disposal in kitchen didn’t work, faucet issue with ONE of the sinks in the master bathroom, dryer issue. But I texted the management co, problems fixed quickly.

Nice, clean penthouse unit. Easy booking and attentive host. Enjoyed it!

The condo was great! Nicely appointed kitchen and everything was well-maintained and clean.Management was very prompt and courteous. Very easy to work with. We love Daufuskie and will be back next year!

Ok so first off- this condo was in an amazing location! I really want to give it 5 stars, but just can’t. I’m going to list out the pros & cons:Pros: LOVE the condo! Great location, beautiful decor, perfect set up for families, fantastic pool, great access to the beach, comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen, fast & friendly communication with the property managerCons: I feel bad even saying it, but guys…. Roaches,… like lots of them in the master bedroom (at least 12 ). My friend staying in that room said they crawled on her ceiling,walls & in her bag EEK! I alerted the manager and she said the property is sprayed once a month on a schedule. In my opinion a serious bug bombing needs to be done, not just a typical monthly service, as evidently that’s nowhere near powerful enough to kill the infestation of the master bedroom. We would absolutely return to this property once this was taken care of though because it really is fantastic (minus the infestation). A couple other complaints but nothing major. An annoying fire detector alarmed every time we opened the oven despite the fact there was no smoke (also alerted management about that, hopefully they will replace with a not as sensitive one near the kitchen). They could also use some new non-stick pans bc unfortunately seems like guests have ruined theirs by using metal utensils. Some other minor issues as it’s not a new building but am very much hoping bug issue is solved so we can come back!

Great condo and proximity to the beach.
