We stayed at the Sandy Lane Villas as two families of four - 4 adults and 4 kids. The setup was perfect for our group with three en suite bathrooms, one of which was the bunk room for the kids. We were disappointed to discover that although the listing shows two king beds, the smaller bedroom was only a queen.
The condo is so close to the beach and ocean, and the balcony was amazing for watching the sunrise and the ocean. We saw dolphins several times from the balcony! Having the pool at the condo was also a huge bonus. It was never too busy and we appreciated having that option for swimming. We cooked many meals in the unit and the kitchen was well stocked. There were basic spices and seasonings in the cupboards as well.
Our review was reduced to a 4-star only due to property management communication. I don't know what the disconnect was, but Susan was not responsive to us. At the very start upon booking, I was disappointed with the presentation of the golf cart rentals. It was presented not as an option, but as a given that we would rent carts from Susan. This turned us off enough to explore other options on the island, and we rented from Tour Daufuskie at a lower cost (and had brand new carts!). After arriving at the condo we had some small issues (no comforters for the bunks, only 7 of the advertised 8 beach towels) and emailed Susan almost immediately. We never received a response. We did find comforters in a closet as well as some rugs that hadn't been put back down and made do with the 7 towels. Again, not earth shattering issues, but the lack of response was frustrating.
The Welcome Packet has many discrepancies throughout, specifically in regards to what is supplied in the condo. Communication was also lacking for the land transport upon departure. We finally reached out at 6 pm the evening before to get information after not hearing anything up until then.
Overall, we would definitely stay at Sandy Lane Villas again if returning to Daufuskie, but may explore other owners.
