Nice place. Will be back. Just needs a new lock box. We couldn’t get the key out and it’s the same problem the prior renters had

Crab Cottage & Dock
What a great few days we had staying at the Crab Cottage on Daufuskie Island. I have visited many of the rental properties over the years on Daufuskie and I have to say that this rates as one of the best. If not the best The property is a beautiful three bedroom Cottage right on the river with a Boat Dock for any renters that come over with their own boat. The weather was spectacular. The neighbors were fabulous. We had a great time while staying. I would highly recommend this to anyone Visiting Daufuskie! If you happen to have a group larger than what a three bedroom will require. There are two identical cottages right next-door that are part of the same group that would make a family reunion fabulous especially with Boat Dock. I believe it can maintain five boats. Thanks Robbie. Gretchen and l appreciate everything you did for us. We had a great time. Look forward to seeing you soon.
