Beachfront escape
We had an amazing time staying at the Sea Witch. Location was perfect - just steps away from the beach. Beautiful views, clean and well kept cottage… couldn’t have asked for better! Those living on the island were very welcoming, and pleasant. It was the most relaxing vacation we could have asked for. We hope to keep coming back!

This cottage is by far the best we've stayed in on the island! Tammy and Kent have done a beautiful job renovating and stocking their property with anything and everything you could possibly need during your stay. They were also very communicative. We had the best time during our little family getaway and look forward to returning in the future!

Quant coastal cottage
Property was as described. Loved the screened porch and swing was a plus. Liked the fact it was a stand alone unit, very quiet. 4th stay on the island and 1st time at this property. Will definitely stay again.

Cozy and relaxing!
We enjoyed everything about this home! It was so beautifully decorated and felt like a cozy beach cottage. The location and beach views were amazing!! This was our first visit to Daufuskie Island and we hope to return someday. (I would definitely do some extra research if you are a first time visitor, as far as what is available once you are on the island) This was the perfect stay to be able to disconnect and relax for the week!

Beautiful Beach Retreat
This is a gorgeous property with amazing decor and views of the beach. The beach is wide at low tide and so beautiful to walk at sunrise. The home is large with a nice layout including entertainment space and bedroom separation. There was plenty of space for a family of 5. The included golf cart was great for exploring Daufuskie Island. This is our 3rd time to the Island and 2nd time staying at a JonBie Mason property. 100% recommend staying with their VRBOs. Thank you for a wonderful long weekend away!

Simply the Best
The stay felt like a concierge luxury stay.
The house was amazing. Could not beat the view(s)! The house itself was practical while still luxurious in every detail.
Hosts were welcoming and helpful - well before arrival, through the visit, and upon departure. I recommend contacting them directly if considering a stay.
Easily the best rental experience we’ve ever had.

The house was perfect and the owners were very gracious. The people on the island were very kind and we had access to everything we needed! (We stayed for 4 nights and brought food for lunches and 2 dinners).
