Daufuskie weekend

Great location on deep water, facing West for beautiful sunsets. Slept 8 comfortably (4 adults and 4 teens). Large open living room/kitchen/dining room and covered porch. We ate breakfast on the porch each morning. Dock was great for fishing and kids used the small pool (could use a vacuum but otherwise great). Current is very fast in the river so tie up your boat well and be careful if you swim. 6 person electric golf cart was nice (a little slow at 18 mph max). We rented a second cart for about ($250 for 3-days). Overall a great stay and would definitely rent again, Thanks!
