Plus, enjoy a refreshing pool included for the 2024 summer season!

Your journey begins with a unique experience, as Daufuskie Island is accessible only by ferry or water taxi. Our dedicated team is on hand to assist with transportation bookings and golf cart rentals, ensuring that your arrival to this tranquil beachfront paradise is smooth and hassle-free.

Outstanding Guest Features:
Each of the five bedrooms provides a unique decor, ensuring a peaceful nighttime haven for up to ten guests. Four luxurious master bedrooms boast ensuite bathrooms, with options including three king beds and a fourth bedroom featuring two queen beds. The crowning jewel, the King Master, comes with a cozy reading area and a private screened porch, perfect for capturing stunning sunrises over the Atlantic. The fifth bedroom, while not ensuite, is equally charming and includes a queen bed and a workspace for writing postcards or for virtual work.

Additional Amenities:
This cottage is well-equipped with a laundry room featuring a full-size washer and dryer and an outdoor wooden walkway leading to a gas grill. After a day at the beach, rinse off under the outdoor shower, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the night sky while bathing under the stars. For dog lovers, the cottage welcomes one well-behaved dog up to 20lbs for a small pet fee.

Getting Around:
Logistics

Concerned about the logistics of coming to a bridge-less island? Don't be! This cottage is managed by Daufuskie Rental Group, the island's premiere vacation rental company. An on-island team will be available to help you sort through the boat options, ground transportation services, and golf cart arrangements. We are also available to help in any way while you're on the island. After all, we take our slogan to heart: "No Bridge? No Problem!"

Other Things to Note:
** PET POLICY:

We will accept a well-behaved canine member of the family if approved by the property manager. However, the dog must be over one year old, not be aggressive towards people or other pets, be house trained, does not get up on the furniture, and is ok with being left alone when you are away from the cottage (no incessant barking or destructive behavior). We require that you will be a responsible pet owner when the dog is outside, that your dog is always kept on a leash, is up-to-date on flea and heart worm treatment and...most importantly...that there will be no signs that your pet was in the property when you depart. You must be responsible for any damage and/or extra cleaning caused by your dog. There is a nonrefundable pet fee of $125 for one dog.

Concerned about the logistics of coming to a bridge-less island? No need to worry! Guests receive information and assistance from the DRG team, all of whom live on the island and who are available 24/7 for any problems.

A magical few days on Daufuskie

This was our first time to Daufuskie Island, but it definitely won’t be our last. We had an amazing time on this magical island. The house was wonderful and the rental group was very responsive. It was awesome to be able to bring our four-legged family members along, too. Just overall a really excellent experience. Only negative was we didn’t stay long enough!
