Picture perfect - inside and out!

My stay at Blue Fuskie was restorative beyond compare. The flora and fauna of the island, as well as its residents, were uniquely welcoming. Dafuskie is the ultimate retreat full of natural beauty, with warm sun and surf and moonlit nights by the sea.

Relaxing Beach Vacation

Beautiful property for a simple and relaxing family vacation. We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful ocean view, spending countless hours on the beach and driving around on the golf cart exploring the uniqueness of Daufuskie. Tons of wildlife, culture and wonderful people! Can’t wait to return!

This is a wonderful place to stay. It had a nice kitchen and well furnished. The golf cart was there and ready when we got there. I loved waking up to the sun rise over Hiltonhead and the ocean every morning.

Wonderful time!

Had a great stay! The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, and the view of the water was just amazing and perfect for view of sunrises. Deborah was very helpful and overall the only complaint I have is that our schedules did not allow a longer stay. We will plan on return and invite families and friends!

Family Retreat

The cottage was perfect for our family of four...it has an updated kitchen, open porch on the back of the house, nice wood floors throughout the home, furniture was in excellent condition, and the linens were clean and top quality on the beds. We will be renting this place again if we can.

great getaway

We hadn't been to Daufuskie in years and still absolutely enjoyed our stay. ( even though there have been major changes on the island.) We were blessed with beautiful weather and still just love exploring the island. The house location is perfect. We love that you have such beautiful views from the house. Also, the kitchen is very well equipped.

We discovered a new island!

Simply everything exceeded our expectations! The house was wonderful and the location was superb. We brought breakfast items and groceries for about 1/2 of our meals and ate out the rest. Our fav was within walking distance at Melrose. Deborah did a fantastic job of making sure we had worked out the transportation details beforehand and checked in on us a couple of time during our stay. Just the right amount of customer service without going overboard. A great get-a-way! We will be back!

Beautiful Place

We have absolutely enjoyed our week here. My husband and I stayed at Melrose 19 years ago and our oldest daughter who is 14 came last year with friends and begged for us to come here for our vacation this summer. We are so glad we came! Things have changed a bit since we were here 19 years ago, but we have loved every minute of it. If you love the outdoors, you would love Daufuskie-from bike riding, to horseback riding or just sitting on the porch. The scenery is breathtaking and the people here have been very nice and helpful. We love the cottage. Beautifully decorated inside and out! We will definitely plan a vacation here again!

A Good Time Was Had By All !

Like so many people, I have been feeling the stress of all that is going on, business, and the pace of life. I realized I needed a vacation and the thought of staying at a crowded hotel and not being able to get out when I needed just did not interest me. I went on line and saw this beautiful house and realized this is where I wanted/needed to stay. I reserved the house before talking with my Wife but she agreed that this place looked great! When we got there, the property was as beautiful as the pictures and we spent 4 relaxing days listening to the waves looking at the amazing views. I had plans for so many things, but the house was so relaxing and comfortable that I spent most of the time in a state of bliss. The house had everything I would have imagined and we wanted for nothing. This was one of the best vacations we've ever had and will be going back to Daufuskie on a regular basis. We are counting the days when we can return!

Blue Fuskie is a little piece of Heaven!

This might have been the first real vacation (meaning we acutally relaxed and enjoyed ourselves and didn't feel like we needed to be on the go all the time) we've ever had as a family! I was a little worried at first, being on an island without all the things we have come to think we need, but with the detailed emails and info that Deborah Smith porvided us, we were very well prepared! She not only helped us prepare for the trip, she was a great help and so easy to contact while on the island. Follow her advise and you can't go wrong! The cottage itself was amazing, great views and stocked with anything we might need! The island was great, all the locals are so very nice and some became friends by the end of our visit! We enjoyed an evening kayak tour through the marsh and even rented paddle boats one day at the beach! The food at the 4 restaurants was even better than we expected! The Melrose Beach Club became our favorite, the chef is terrific and I'd recommend the Shrimp and Grits! To die for!! We loved the laidback vibe of Marshside Mamas and Daufuskie Crab- you can literally go from the beach to the dining table! When they say this is a casual island, they mean it...Don't be an over packer like me! Blue Fuskie has a washer and dryer and you only need a few outfits to get by! We loved touring the island via golf cart and loved taking our kids to the historic sites. We didn't want our time on Daufuskie to end and are already talking about the next visit!

Wonderful Vacation!

We stayed from July 4-11 and had a wonderful time. We were looking for a getaway location on the beach with small crowds. We were not disappointed. We had this cottage which is beautifully decorated and was more equipped than any other place we have stayed. At the time we were there the cottage also had extra beach chairs, beach toys, and even an umbrella. The inside had plenty of extra linens and pillows. The section of beach the cottage was on never had more than 3-5 families at a time. My children loved to play along the beach and we never had to worry about them getting lost in a crowd. Melrose Beach Club and Restaurant has great food! They have an excellent staff that will help you with anything you need from chairs to food to drinks. The pools at the beach club are very nice! Planning is a must! Deborah and the rental group send you all the information and contact numbers you need, however you have to call and make arrangements. Due to the busy time we were there, we planned our boat arrival and departures and ordered groceries 3 weeks ahead. Plan appropriately for groceries because we did not had had to order more. It was easy to do and cyber valet and may river excursions were very helpful, but that was an extra delivery for everyone. We had a wonderful visit to a very beautiful island. We had fun exploring the island on the golf cart and just being at the beach and pool without the crowds. Our children also enjoyed the playground and picnic area next to the pool. Even though our children are young (2,3,6) we can definitely see Daufuskie Island as also being a place to visit with teens.

Fantastic Family Getaway!

I cannot say enough about Daufuskie and this particular property. The cottage is beautiful and in the perfect location. While it is a duplex, not once were we made aware of the renters on the other side. It 100% feels like your own house. The bedrooms are huge with very comfortable beds--the showers are awesome...better than my own home! The view from the living room/sunporch is spectacular. The ocean is just steps away--and from the beach in front of the cottage we enjoyed quiet and private morning walks, lazy afternoons in the sun and excellent fishing! You could enjoy your whole vacation without leaving this beautifully decorated, comfortable cottage. But you should leave and explore! The island is the most unique and amazing place. We visited School Grounds coffee shop almost every day and visited with friendly locals--not to mention Brian and Pam, the incredibly hospitable owners! Lucy Belle's is a great stop for a delicious (and HUGE portioned) lunch--and the Daufuskie Crab Co. provides a lively crowd for a weekend dinner...right by the water. The artisans at The Iron Fish Gallery, The Daufuskie Rum Co. and Silver Dew Pottery are amazing! From Brandi the golf cart gal to the kind local man who gave my teenage son ocean fishing tips...the people of Daufuskie are what made this vacation truly special. They are all so friendly and interesting. Deborah was like having our own concierge. We were able to text her any time with questions and she responded immediately. She is a true expert on how to get the full Daufuskie experience-and takes great pride in her job. You won't be disappointed if you rent this or any other of her properties. Another highlight was the church service on Sunday. The locals were so inviting--it's a great experience no matter your religion. The church itself is a piece of history and we felt like we were really experiencing a part of America that is not often seen. We were so glad we made the effort to do this on the first full day of our trip--we highly recommend it. If you're looking for a unique experience and to get away from the hustle of tourist traps and the "grid"....Daufuskie is the place. We are so thankful to have found it--and to have had the opportunity to show our 15 and 18 year olds this simplicity and to have them experience first hand that we are all so much more the same than different. Thank you Deborah--and thank you Daufuskie! We will be back! The Klein Family Omaha, NE

Nearly perfect - would stay again

You can't beat the location. It was also very clean, and host provided everything needed, plus a few other useful things that were above and beyond. I was worried when I saw that the listing had been amended to say that it was a duplex since the time I booked it; however, we only had to share the unit for one night, but we didn't hear ANYTHING from next door. There were a few things that could have been better but not enough to add up to a whole star. We did see a few of those big roaches but no ants which is an accomplishment because otherwise the entire island is crawling with fire ants (except the beach). All in all, Daufuskie was a great trip and this property enabled us to enjoy it to the fullest. You should manage your expectations about the island itself - there's a reason it's not as busy as other places. There are definite inconveniences, especially involving travel, dining, and supplies; we and our luggage got soaked to the skin on the boat ride over. There was no restaurant on the island where you could eat inside, just picnic tables outside. I heard they're repairing one that might be different. However, to us, it was worth the quiet, beautiful beaches and abundant wildlife. Do your own research and know what you're getting into before you go to Daufuskie. Thanks to the host for providing a nice stay.

We had the best time on our little getaway to Daufuskie Island. The Blue Fuskie was exactly as stated and the property managers were very easy to work with. The view from this cottage is amazing... perfect for a cup of coffee on the porch watching the sunrise over the water. We hope to return soon and would stay at the Blue Fuskie again!
