A group of friends and cousins

A large group of adult friends and cosines enjoyed this time together. This place had enough space to accommodate a large crowd. Most of us had our on bathroom, and the large screened in porch was so much fun for us all! The property is large and riding the golf carts around it made us feel like kids again. The owner is great and was very accommodating! This may be our forever rental on Daufuskie Island!

Laidback lowcountry vacation

Excellent spot if you have a large group. The communal screened-in porch with a commercial ice machine, bar, pool table, etc. is perfect for entertaining. Huge property with a dock and plenty of room for outdoor activities. The owner was extremely helpful and took great care of us!

Great fun for our large group!

We always love Jolly Shores. The golf carts, pool table, ping pong table, big TV, ice machine (😍), and TWO refrigerators are really great additions! We love all the private bed and bath options, too. This location offers all the flexibility that we needed- including a dock for our boating friends who joined us! We cooked, laughed, sung, napped, and hung out together and enjoyed the best sunsets on the island!

Great Getaway!

Jolly Shores was the perfect location for a group of friends to vacation! The second building was set up like a motel with each room having its own individual entrance and bathroom. Most of our time was spent on tbe screened in area with a bar, ping pong table, and pool table! It was perfect!

Dirty

The host was very responsive and helpful leading up to our trip. However, upon arrival I was horrified at the lack of cleanliness of the property. It was absolutely filthy and appeared to have not had a drop of TLC in quite sometime. I will definitely be back Daufuskie but will absolutely never stay at Jolly Shores again. If you’re someone who like camping then maybe this property is a good fit but if you’re someone who doesn’t like bugs and vines growing indoors then I’d say avoid this property at all cost.

Rustic delight

Our group of 4 families had the best time at Jolly Shores. If you want neat and sparkly clean this is not the place for you but if you like salty, rustic, full of character and spacious, well appointed outdoor gathering spots and like fishing, hunting mussels, squirrel, crabs, and adventures, this place is great.

Daufuskie Island Disgusting House

Our family was there about 10 years ago and it was very cute, but they have not done a single thing to keep it up since then!!! It was absolutely disgusting, the most filthy place I have ever stayed!! Rat feces found in corners and other areas. Half of the lights didn’t work and still continued to burn out after they tried to replace them. The golf cart roof fell in on our family and are a danger to even use. Not to mention the dock that is completely falling in, it is unsafe to leave a boat tied up there. I would strongly suggest not staying if you would like a nice house for you and your family to vacation!! It was horrible!!!! I cannot stress enough how disgusting this house is!

Great rustic place for guys trip

This is an awesome venue for a bunch of guys getting together. The fishing was incredible right from the dock. Saw a guy hook up a 31 inch red fish right in front of the house the first morning. The game room is awesome with the pool, card and ping pong tables. Place needs some work here and there, some screens are torn, floating dock has lost some floats, and volleyball net is in tatters. But none of those issues prevented us from having a great time. Thanks Bill for a great time!

storm damage and he said it was fine

We rented jolly shores for a girls get away. We spoke with the owner several times asking about the conditions after the hurricane. He said everything was fine and we were set to come over. First problem was the dock was not fixed ( no biggie we understand that as we are from savannah and see the slow repairs here) second NO electricity ( that got fixed after several calls at @930-10pm on the night we arrived and was never fully restored) , third glitch mold in the walls of the back house ( bc the roof apparently had been blown off in the storm, his electricians told us that) , no hot water except in 2 rooms (again I believe the electricity) lastly the fridge never worked so we had to keep asking for ice. Being that we were on an island with 16 people he could have done more. A few minor problems marsh grass from storm up to the fire pit and we had to dig our chairs out of the marsh to find them. Golf carts did not run long but that goes back to electricity (some got stranded) Several of us go here every year for get away. It has never looked like this. He will not return our phone calls. We feel that there should be some money given back since the house was not in the condition we were told. After we called the Monday before to make sure. Very disappointing.

Family Christmas Getaway for Couples

Beautiful Rustic property. Secluded, large yard, plenty of room. Well maintained dock to fishing or relaxing. Landscaping needs sprucing up. Living Qtrs- there are 2 living qtrs on this property. Couldn’t give the property a 5. The property needs major renovations and lots of TLC. 1st living qtrs Main house -3 Br 2ba with a very large screen in game room with bar. kitchen out dated old pots, pans, and cooking utensil. Dirty-baseboards, behind stoves and Fridge. Fridge may needs to be replace keeps cool not cold. 1 Main Bthrm in the kitchen-needs to be gutted. Claw foot tub and toilet has something black coming down the wall behind it looks to be mildew/mold 2 Bthrm in the laundry room-this is a cleaning room out house. would not consider formal bathroom Living room area-was Good-nothing bad- very spacious. Game Room- enclosed screen in area. All screens needs to be updated, a lot of the lower screens were no longer stacked down. The furniture dirty and was not prepared for guest. Pool table-needs repair the pocket netting was ripped (balls hit floor) TVwas great Bar need cleaning but was great Gas grill could not get work used the charcoal grill. Golf Carts 2 A must have to view the island. One died but the owner brought another one over. FYI-Make sure to get details instructions on charging them. 2nd Jolly INN- More up to date than the main house. More like a motel very cute. 4 separate rooms with bathrooms in them. No Keys but felt very safe on the property. 1 room had plumbing issues we could not use it. The furniture for each room could have been more consistent. Some had lamps, some had dressers, and some did not. Window A/C unit and portable heaters. Recommendation to update the heating and cooling system. Bedding-1 room was missing a mattress cover. Due to the fact the sheets were all dark blue and all pillows were stained. For our level of comfort we choose to re-wash everything. Recommendation (replace all pillows and add pillow cover protectors change color of sheets to white for sanitization purposes need to be able to bleach them.Overall we enjoyed ourselves despite having to go in and clean before we were able to start our event. Appreciated the owner providing transportation to the houseWe had a lot things because it’s only one store on the island and was told it was pricey The owner helps us out with some paper towels when we ran out. Very nice of him definitely would consider re-booking once those things are resolved.

Christmas on Daufuskie

Great property- great owner! We enjoyed the house and property very much. Because of the Arctic blast that Mother Nature sent us, we weren’t able to enjoy the property as much as we wanted to. We did brave the cold to do some sightseeing and eat out one night. We visited the distillery twice; great bourbon and rum! The Christmas tree was a great touch! We are already planning another trip to Jolly Shores to experience it to its full potential.
