Come in.

We saved you a seat.


Welcome!

Daufuskie Island is a place best described as paradise beyond.   

There is no bridge to the mainland so one must leave car on mainland and come by ferry or private boat.

Once on the island travel by golf cart will get you everywhere.  You'll find white sand beaches, ancient oaks and a thriving population of islanders.  It's the new old with a timeless quality.  Magnificent sunsets, island inspired cuisine, and a gentle ocean breeze await those lucky enough to visit paradise beyond.

What a relaxing time at Daufuskie Island in the Sea Glass Cottage! Incredible views both day and night, and the sound of the waves breaking on the beach cannot be overstated. The cottage amenities are first class, and make for a tranquil stay. We love the locals, and long to move back to this piece of heaven on earth. Thank you Tammy and Curt!

We have used JonBie Maison two years in a row and used their cottages on Daufuskie for our trips. Each house has been incredible! They were convenient, clean, pretty, and had everything we needed. The owners are very helpful and are quick to respond.

We have rented from JonBie Masion several times over the past decade. All experiences have been perfect. They have everything you need and are easy to contact if you have questions during your visit. They make the whole travel to Daufuskie process super easy. We love visiting the island and will continue to use their rentals for all future traveling. Hope you do too.

We had a wonderful stay, even in the rain! If you want “boujee” go to HHI but if you want “beachy” go to DI!

I had an amazing time staying in one of the JonBie cottages. They are right on the beach, well equipped and clean! Daufuskie is a magical place to visit, I would definitely stay there again.

I was a part of small party that was fortunate enough to lodge here during our stay on the island. What a treat it was to have all the accommodations needed to make our stay seem less and enjoyable. It was like being right at home. The location of the homes are stunning, the sea breeze comes in wonderfully through the windows and getting around the island is simple and intuitive. Looking forward to coming back!

I can't say enough good things about JonBie Maison. This beachside vacation rental company is exceptional and it’s run by folks who put customer service above all. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of amazing. Booking was a breeze. They were quick to respond to any questions and provided us with all the information we needed for a stress-free stay. The cottage is perfect– cozy yet spacious, blending beachside charm with modern comforts. It was exactly as described and even better than the pictures. The beach was just a short walk away, offering us stunning views right from our large patio. The screened in patio was perfect for lounging any time of day. At sunset we didn’t have to worry about any bugs or mosquitoes, we could simply soak up the serene atmosphere. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, from the comfortable beds and plush towels to the beach chairs and coolers that made our beach days even more enjoyable. Our cottage came with a map and golf cart that was fully charged which made getting around Daufuskie Island a breeze. What truly sets JonBie apart is their commitment to providing a personalized and memorable experience. The team went above and beyond to make sure we felt right at home, offering recommendations for local dining, activities, and hidden gems that made our trip to Daufuskie even more special. Thank you Tammy and Kurt. We can’t wait to come back!

Holy moly was this a dreamy place to stay. My daughter and her family absolutely loved it and we had the best time relaxing beside the beachfront fire pit. Staying at JonBie Masons, was the ultimate vacation experience... management spared no detail and they were always available to give us activity tips, restaurant recommendations, & they even told us the best beaches to watch the sunset. Any family would undoubtedly have a joyful time in one of JonBie's stunning cottages. Everything we could have possibly needed was thought of in advance, provided and beautifully executed. If only we could have stayed longer! We have already reserved our dates for our next stay with JonBie and hope to come back many years to come.

We stayed in an absolutely gorgeous beachfront cottage that had everything a group could dream of. The property was in a dream location, beautifully decorated, spacious and lovely. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, & we especially appreciated the coffee and tea provided, which we enjoyed several mornings and afternoons on the gorgeous ocean-facing porch. The in-unit laundry & dishwasher came in handy and the property manager Tammy and her husband went above and beyond to take care of us from the moment we arrived to the day we left. We could not have asked for a more picturesque, dream visit to Daufuskie Island and can't thank JonBie enough for their extremely generous hospitality and wonderful rental experience. I cannot recommend them enough and am looking forward to returning to the island for many more stays JonBie Mason. Thank you again!

My wife and I had a chance to get away to Daufuskie Island for Valentine’s Day and could not have been more pleased with this gem. The house sits 30 yards from the ocean and has an expansive view! The island is relaxing and only accessible by boat. There are many good places to eat on the island but our favorite was the Melrose Oyster House and Beach Club.

This was our 5th year staying at JonBie Maison and we love it! Best location for beach access on the island I think! And Tammy thinks of everything. The decor is beautiful and relaxing and the amenities are so gracious! And she is very accommodating! I would highly recommend this island and especially this home to stay in! Jonbie Maison has other beautiful home options too!

This year has been my 4th year staying in a JonBie Maison rental. I keep coming back because the houses have all been beautifully decorated, spotless, and very well appointed. The attention to detail, from pots, pans, dishes, appliances, games, sand toys, pillows, blankets, you name it, it was provided. Tammy and Kurt were also very quick to respond to all questions and needs we had. My whole family stayed this year and this trip made all the new comers fall in love with the island. We could've stayed forever!

Our Daufuski trip was one of the best family trips we have taken - and JonBie Maison was a big reason why! One of the nicest and cleanest homes we have stayed - attention to detail for amenities and an incredible view and a team that is there to answer questions and help you find the best places to eat! Don’t hesitate to book a trip to this island and use Tammy and Kurt! They will do everything they can to ensure you have a marvelous time !!!

This was our 4th trip to Daufuskie Island and we would not stay anywhere else but with Jonbie Maison. This new property was beautifully decorated with an AMAZING view of the ocean. Everything we needed was at the cottage and we felt very pampered. We will be back next year!

You know how you look and places to rent online and they appear beautiful but then you get there and it’s not so pretty? WELL THATS NOT THE CASE HERE! It’s far more luxurious in real life! We have came and stayed in the same JonBie Maison home away from home for several years! We have our next year trip booked before we ever leave the island. Amazing people, fantastic place, and an island worth visiting if you want to slow things down for a bit! HIGHLY RECOMMEND JonBie Maison! They’ve become part of our girl trip family!
