Serene getaway
This property along with Daufuskie Island is a great location to decompress. This listing was perfect. Steps from the water, amenities to have fun outside, beautiful sunrises, great screened in porch to feel the warm breeze but being protected from direct sun and other elements. Very responsive hosts prior to arrival and with questions during stay. Highly recommend.

Beautiful spot
The property was everything we expected and more. The owner met us for a walk-through on arrival, which I've never had happen before. The available golf cart was a truly great amenity, since there is really nothing within walking distance. Beautiful weather nearly every day, at a beautiful place!

Our stay was perfect. Our host met us and showed us the house and features. He made us feel welcome and comfortable. This was our first visit to the island and he had great information. Thee house was spotless and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. The island is quiet and all we heard was the ocean just a few yards away. We highly recommend!

The apartment / house is beautiful. Custom linens and attractive art work. The view was perfect.
Really pretty place, custom linens, attractive art work; looked newly redone with stainless steel appliances . Right on the water with an unobstructed view of sunrises and the full moon the time we were there. Plan on eating at home. The restaurants are limited and open only on certain days. There are folks who cook and bring to your place. The one we tried was excellent. The island is worth driving, walking or bike riding about to explore, but this definitely a laid back vacation area.

JonBie Maisons is a must!
What a wonderful property! JonBie Maisons is an amazing property management company to work with! I highly recommend using any property managed by JonBie Maisons! The property was amazing and the service provided by JonBie Maisons was even better! The view was spectacular - the added convenience of having bikes and a golf cart on site were such a plus! We so appreciated the host sharing knowledge and tips about the island. Huge shoutout for the “everything you need to know” document they have prepared and share with renters! You will love their properties and extra amenities and service! Thank you Kurt and Tammy!

Great rental
Everything was awesone!! Very beautifully decorated and furnished. Anything you would want was there. Very spacious. Wide doors and furnished with all the necessities. Kitchen had every tool imagjnable. I am disabled...unable to walk without a rollator, but had no problems moving around the house. Shower was huge, so i did have to take my rollator in the shower so i could safely wash mh hair as there are no handicapped bars. Also, i nrought a commode riser which made the commode work for me. The beautiful sun glistening on the water was a gorgeous view out the back door. Golf cart was a very nice way to get around the island.
