I just had to take a moment to rave about my recent stay at the absolutely stunning waterfront home on Dawtaw Island, a part of the intercoastal waterway, in beautiful Beaufort, SC and I knew I had to share the jaw-dropping experience with you! This place is like a hidden gem of pure luxury and serenity—seriously like something out of a dreamy travel magazine.
From the moment I arrived, greeted by your very own private security team at the gates, I was blown away by the incredible amenities that this place has to offer. Let's start with the home and it’s owners; perfection. Cleanliness and thoughtful comforts definitely take priority. The poolside services—impeccable! The staff was so attentive, making sure every little detail was perfect, from refreshing cold towels to delicious drink choices that hit the spot every single time. Food and snacks were top-notch as well! I felt like royalty lounging by the pool.
Then there are the clubs and restaurants on the island, which took the dining experience to an entirely new level. Each dish was a flavor explosion, and the ambiance was simply divine. It was so nice to have such amazing options without even leaving the island. And oh, the Pickleball courts were a definite highlight! Endless fun out there, and a great way to soak up the gorgeous sunshine while getting a little competitive spirit going. If you’re an avid golfer; talk about a breathtaking track, among the top in the U.S.
What really captured my soul, though, was the rich and enchanting history of Dawtaw Island itself. Every corner of the island seemed to whisper tales of days gone by, which added such an incredible layer to the whole experience. Walking through the area felt like stepping back in time, but with all the comforts of modern luxury right at hand.
I must say, the view from the back porch of the villa itself, overlooking Jenkins Creek, was like something straight out of a dream. Each morning, I had the pleasure of waking up to the breathtaking scenery—an artist's palette of colors in the sky mirrored in the tranquil water. Honestly, words can't do it justice. And the best part? The ocean was so accessible, making it easy to spend time water-side whenever the urge struck.
I would unequivocally give this slice of heaven a six-star review out of five if that were possible! It's a peaceful paradise that has now carved a special place in my heart forever, thanks to the home’s owners.

We stayed for a three day weekend at this exquisite home on Dataw Island. Nestled among the towering oaks and overlooking Jenkins Creek, the home provided the perfect balance of coastal chic and relaxation.
The interior of the home is tastefully decorated with cool coastal tones that completed the surrounding beauty. The spacious living area offers panoramic views of the creek, allowing us to watching the changing tides, the occasional kayaker passing by and even dolphins! The living room itself features several plush seating options with the sofa turning into a full sleeper, should additional sleeping accommodations be needed.
The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials we needed for cooking and the addition of the breakfast bar made it easy to enjoy meals together. It is clear that the owners thought of everything one could need when staying in the home. Our favorite part was the outdoor deck which we took full advantage of in the mornings and evenings.
The home features two master bedrooms and a smaller bedroom space with two twins beds. While we did not have a party large enough to utilize all the sleeping spaces it was nice to have a peaceful place to rest at the end of the day. Our room featured a king size bed with soft linens and an en suite with stocked amenities.
Overall the accommodation exceeded our expectations. It provided all the comforts of home, but with the added bonus of an idyllic location on Dataw island. It was the perfect space for exploring the island, enjoying the poolside amenities, golf, pickleball and tennis. The home also has golf cart rentals through the island allowing you to explore the natural beauty of the various trails. You also have the ability to come and go from the island to historic downtown Beaufort. The owners have provided various recommendations and suggestions for what to see while you are in the area.
We definitely enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to be back!

We had the most memorable stay at this immaculate Bluff Villa on Dataw Island. My 91 year old mother and I needed some time together and this was just what we hoped for. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for her—- comfortable accessible and quiet. It made such a difference in allowing her to relax and enjoy the trip with ease.
The villa itself is warm , welcoming and beautifully maintained. The piece de resistance is the view. It’s truly a million- dollar panorama. Every morning , I found myself excited to open the blinds and take in the stunning scene through the full size windows— the shimmering water, majestic live oaks draped in Spanish moss, winding creek, oyster beds and ever- changing parade of wildlife. It felt like waking up to a new piece of living art every single day.
The peacefulness of the island, combined with the natural beauty all around us, made this one of our most rejuvenating getaways we’ve ever had . It’s exactly what we needed. Can’t wait to come back!
Property was in excellent condition. Very attractive. Well furnished and supplied. rwwalkthat one's so go
