First time on Daufuskie.

First of all, pictures don't do this house justice. It is absolutely massive and we loved all the space. Location: just a short stroll to the beach. Never saw a neighbor and it was extremely quiet and peaceful. The sea wall is great for photos and wildlife watching. Crabs, seastars, sand dollars, birds, pretty much anything you would want to find at the beach. The only negative here is that unless the tide is out it is not really safe, imo, to swim with the sharp boards and such submerged in the water. We waited until the tide was out to swim, but the public beach was nice and only a short cart ride away. The host was responsive and answered all of our questions in a short period of time. Having 2 fridges was awesome for our large party. Air fryer and cofee maker, pretty much everything you need. Front porch was unbelievable. We loved our stay here and hope to come back!

Spectacular Ocean View

This was a lovely location for our family staycation on Daufuskie Island. We live in neighboring Hilton Head and have always wanted to explore Daufuskie as a family. This home provided us all the space and amenities we needed for a long weekend stay.

A relaxing week!

We LOVED this house and did not want to leave to go back to reality! Our group consisted of 5 adults (2 couples) and 2 teenagers - this house enabled us to have our own bedrooms and bathrooms! My daughter and son didn't have to share! Most of our time was spent on the porch and walking along the beach which felt like our own private beach! Everyone had a place to go to get some time alone and the open floor plan allowed us to have lots of time together to play games and enjoy meals! The kitchen had lots of supplies to make anything we wanted to make! Each time we requested items, they were delivered that same day! We loved our stay and Lauren was SO helpful with the millions of questions I asked her about the island! Thank you!

A very special home

I can’t say enough about this house, the island and the amazing owners. We were married on the island and hosted our reception at the home afterwards. It was the absolute perfect setting. There was amazing communication from the moment I inquired about the property, the entire time we were there and afterwards. They were willing to help with anything we needed and made our stay great. The house is beautiful and warm. The views are amazing. Daufuskie is so special to us. We will definitely be back. This house will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Amazing!!!

This home was amazing! It was large enough for my entire family to spread out. Our teenagers admittedly had a good time, even though it is quite secluded (which I love). I love the privacy and being beachfront. Sitting on the porch watching the sunrise and listening to the waves crashing was very relaxing. The people on the island are extremely nice and treated us like family, especially Nancy at the Daufuskie Crab Co. The house had everything we needed. I cannot wait for our next trip. Thank you Lauren (and Sherry), you made our trip highly enjoyable!

Amazing weekend

The host of this property was beyond great. She was very helpful and communicated well with us. The home and property was beautiful. Plenty of space for us all. Secluded and very close to your own walk to the beach. The early morning views are priceless!! Even our infants loved sitting in front of the doors in the mornings in the warm sun. I highly recommend the this home if you are looking to relax and reconnect with nature,family and friends.The host will make it easy and enjoyable to do.

Covid Wedding

We traveled to Daufuskie because my son and his fiancé had to postpone their wedding two times in Ohio. The home was a perfect backdrop for a destination wedding that was put together in two weeks. There was plenty of room to accommodate 15 people. We enjoyed exploring the island and hanging at the beach. The porches on the home are lovely and really make the home. Loved sitting in the rocking chairs in the evening and listening to the waves. This is a great place to stay if you want to get away from it all.

The Dream wedding

Since the kids first came to this island and the beach together for the first time, Taylor dreamed of marrying Brett here on Daufuski. My husband and I have 9 kids in this combined family and the grandparents came too. Two other families joined us for the reception here and we ate, danced, and played the night away in this beautiful home. Plenty of space for us all and plenty to do around the island. Great times had here by all. The owner was amazing and flexible with the covid situation when we had to change our dates and the whole process was easy and stress free.

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Rauch

Coming from a small town in Pa. our family built this home in 2000 after spending almost 14 years vacationing on Daufuskie. My Dad played in the Harbor Town Heritage Pro Am Tournament for several years, and it was the one place our family would vacation each summer, some falls, and even a few Christmases.

Why they chose this property

The Island has such rich history, including a little First Union African Baptist church we attend while we are there, with a rich history that could never be matched. We grew up vacationing on the island like it was a second home. We found Indian pottery and arrowheads while walking the beach. These are just a few of the historical aspects deeming Daufuskie to be so unique, rich, and diverse in its offerings.

What makes this property unique

Listening to the calm and serene sounds of the Calibogue Sound, & watching the bald eagles fly by, and viewing the fireworks at Harbor Town and Tybee island on the 4th of July are just a few things we see from our front porch. Our home is set up to enjoy the company of one another, to cook and share a meal, catch blue crabs in the ocean when the tide is low, or share dinner with an islander at the Daufuskie Crab Company, the Eagles Nest at Bloody Point, or Lucy Bell's Cafe'. Enjoy listening to a live band with the locals most in season weekends. These are just a few of the special things we look forward to enjoying on our visits to this island paradise we call Daufuskie.

We would be happy to assist you in planning your special Wedding Day, Vow Renewal, friend or family reunions, or any other special event you may have in mind! Your event will be given special attention beginning with a detailed discussion on each specific aspect. This may include location of activities, catering options, and any additional coordination to help make your event as smooth as possible. We will discuss the additional fees that will be included in relation to the amount of detail you would like from our house personnel. We will be available and delighted to assist you in any way we can to make your trip to Daufuskie Island extra special.
