The Sandy Lane Villas complex is perched at the edge of the spectacular and historic Bloody Point beach. (Site of a ferocious battle between native Americans and British soldiers in the early 1700's.) The quiet and secluded beach is just steps away from your villa via a picturesque boardwalk over the beach dunes.

The large sunny pool between the complex and the beach dunes provides a fun destination for the whole family.* Along with spacious decking and ample lounge chairs is a shaded area for grilling. The beautiful architecture of Sandy Lane is in evidence with its many columns, arches, pillars and balustrades. The grounds have been professionally landscaped with palms and flowering plantings. This sensational, luxurious hideaway is flanked by pines, oaks and palms.

Your villa is located on one of the best-kept secrets on the eastern coast: Daufuskie Island. Your home overlooks 3 miles of pristine, quiet beaches where all you can hear is the sound of gentle waves and beautiful shore birds. Watch the shrimp boats, bike or ride horses along the beach, take a Historic tour and discover the Gullah History of Daufuskie or take in a round of golf. Don't forget to try our island delicacy, deviled crabs! Better still, we'll help arrange a traditional Southern dinner prepared by a local resident to be delivered directly to your cottage.

You are a short golf cart ride away from the restaurants and some situated in the historic Mary Fields School, where author Pat Conroy taught.

Spectacular View Apartment
Property is well-managed, Great view. Everyone enjoyed stay. It was quiet which is good for someone from the Northeast. But not too quiet since teenagers found enough activities. But us adults enjoyed the spectacular ocean view which is ad advertised. Much better that the overly crowded/commerciall adjacent islands.

Easy family living and exploration
We spent a week at the property and on the island. The pace is slow, easy, and you have to go with the flow. For us this was a much needed slow down where we spent most days at the pool or on the beach with our kids - ages 11 and 7. The beach was a favorite with some morning or evenings of being alone for a mile. It was at first surprising and then just felt like our little oasis Explored most days by using the cart to head to a new place to eat. Some recommendations - go to the School House Coffee and see all the historical sites! Kid friendly park and play were available. Also enjoyed the new Bells on the Beach (Meleose) for “linner” (lunch/dinner) though we had to roll with the menu. The island is isolated so food/menu varied. Bring over your groceries for the week and enjoy some home cooked meals in the fully stocked kitchen. Management was excellent from start to finish. Thank you all!

Exceeded Expectations
This was our first time to visit Daufuskie and we really didn’t know what to expect when selecting the property. I wanted a quiet, secluded, peaceful property with ocean views and easy beach access. Needless to say the property exceeded my expectations. The condo is gorgeous! The decor makes you feel at home. You have everything you need for a comfortable stay and the views are phenomenal. I enjoyed the sunrise and sunset on the balcony every day. We are already planning our next trip. The location of the condo is the best on the island in my opinion. The property managers are very attentive and make sure you have everything you need. Thank you!!

Fantastic Getaway
We had a wonderful, relaxing week. This condo was spacious, right on the beach and came with beach chairs and boogie boards. The pool was an added bonus. I loved that each room had its own private bathroom. My only complaint is that there was no dresser in the master bedroom so we lived out of our suitcase all week.

This property was absolutely perfect. The views were amazing and you get the best of both worlds, the beach and the pool! The villa was equipped what all the necessities. This was a perfect social distancing vacation spot. Just make sure to enter Sandy Lane Villas through the Bloody Point entrance and not down Beach Rd! We got stuck in the sand!

Long weekend retreat with friends
Enjoyed the condo with two friends - what a great location. Wish the ice-maker in the fridge was functioning better, and missed drawers for clothes in the master bedroom. Otherwise, a great space and very comfortable. The dolphins passing the beach each morning were a highlight.

This place stated NEW. It is a decade old and shows it. The kitchen floor grout is black from dirt and should be tan. The carpet has stains. The couches are dirty. The property itself needs an over haul to match the images and descriptions online

Pent House in Paradise
Daufuskie is my favorite place on earth ! Over the years we have rented numerous places from Deb Smith . Her rentals are very well kept and fully stocked with all the comforts you would find at home . I arrived home today and left my computer in the villa. She went out of her way to send it back to the mainland in one day . Getting to Daufuskie is a little bit of a process and one that is well worth the extra planning . She makes the process very easy ! We hope to return to the Island soon!

Perfect!
This condo is absolutely gorgeous! Pictures don’t do it justice!! Our family had a wonderful time making memories, cooking in the well stocked kitchen, eating and playing card games around the huge dining room table and relaxing on the balcony with its truly spectacular views! We are a large family which included my elderly parents. The rooms were spacious and no one felt crowded. There are no words to express just how helpful Deborah Smith and her team were. Deborah even loaned us an all-terrain Rollator so we could get my 90 yo father out to the beach!! Because this was our first trip to Daufuskie we didn’t know quite what to expect or how to be prepared. Deb thought of everything and even called the morning after our arrival to make sure there was nothing we needed. I couldn’t have imagined a better vacation! Thanks to the owners for sharing your beautifully decorated home with us and thanks Deb and team for making our trip all come together perfectly. We would love to stay in this beautiful home again very soon.

A Slice of Heaven
We enjoyed glimpses of a time long gone on Daufuskie! We relished the beauty of the island and the Atlantic from our picturesque balcony. We took full advantage of the peace and quiet and lots of elbow room on the sand. Our room was no less than spectacular. We are already planning to return to this little slice of Heaven!

A Relaxing and Fun Family Island Vacay
My family and I had a great time staying at the Spectacular View Villa on Daufuskie Island. It's a beautifully decorated place and has everything needed to make your stay cozy and comfy. The beach is amazing and is pretty secluded. The most people we saw was maybe 30. Deb and Karen were very quick to answer emails and were very accommodating. The golf cart was handy and we were able to see as much of the island as we wanted to. A great place to stay!
