Need More Than Eight Bedrooms?

A hotel sits immediately next door — no one gets left behind.

Need more than eight bedrooms? A hotel is located directly adjacent to Southern Daze Estate. Overflow guests stay just steps away, while the entire group still gathers together for meals on the estate, mornings on the beach, and evenings on the porches. It's the best of both worlds — the intimacy of a private estate with the flexibility to accommodate a group of any size. Inquire and we'll help coordinate everything.
