Great family vacation home away from home!
Our family of 4 had a great week on Dataw Island. Villa was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. It was spacious enough for our family of 4, but also felt cozy. Kitchen was very well-stocked with various condiments, pots/pans, utensils. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return in the future! Dataw Island is a little remote, so anything we wanted to do in town or elsewhere was at least a 10-15 minute drive, but we knew that going in and loved being away from the hustle and bustle.

They have lived in many locations including Colorado, Texas, and South Carolina. Both love the outdoors and relaxing with family, friends and our pets. We believe in sharing the Dataw Island experience with as many people as possible!

Why they chose this property

Natural beauty of the low country with ALL the amenities to feel pampered and relaxed on Dataw Island!

What makes this property unique

We believe this quiet upscale home on Dataw Island will provide the relaxation needed to totally unwind..... This home is for families traveling with their pets and fascinated by the beauty of the natural outdoor coastal life. Kayaks are provided to meet dolphins in Jenkin's Bay, crab pots to catch dinner every night (summer & fall), complimentary beach pass to Hunting Island for shelling, building sandcastles, and surfing with boogie boards. The water is just 30 feet from the deck overlooking Jenkin's Bay! Watch the dolphins frolicking as the sun sets off the dock in the back yard, play in the club pool next door and enjoy Killian's on tap at clubhouse/ private pub one block away. A completely relaxing experience to rejuvenate the soul!
