The Neighborhood: Daufuskie Island
You will enjoy touring "the island that time forgot" on either a golf cart or bikes, which are both available for rental. And there's no better place for nice long walks! The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. The resort is the home of a Great White Egret rookery, where you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. A nest of American Bald Eagles can be seen now and then, and some lucky visitors can actually catch sight of a Loggerhead Turtle coming ashore to lay hundreds of eggs in the soft sand.
You will want to spend time exploring the rest of this unique and special island. Accessible only by ferry, Daufuskie's isolation from the hustle and bustle of the mainland provides a one-of-its-kind experience for those looking to truly get away from it all.
THE ISLAND
Most of our visitors also take time to get to know the rest of this special island. Those who do quickly realize that they have discovered a hidden island gem just a short boat ride from the mainland. Quiet, laid-back, and unique, beautiful Daufuskie is described by old-timers as similar to Hilton Head before a bridge connected that island with the mainland. (Daufuskie's unofficial slogan is 'No Bridge? No Problem!')
When you choose this cottage for your vacation, you will find a perfect setting to experience a lovely low country island with a centuries-old cultural history, beautiful beaches, spectacular wildlife, and friendly residents.
The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. You will be close to the site of a Great White Egret and Wood Storks rookery, where you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. A nest of American Bald Eagles can occasionally be spotted, and now and then vigilant visitors can actually catch sight of a Loggerhead Turtle coming ashore to lay hundreds of eggs in the soft sand.
Getting Around: IMPORTANT: It is necessary to take a passenger only ferry or water taxi to Daufuskie Island, which is located between Hilton Head SC and Savannah, GA. You would leave your car on the mainland. Once on the island, you will need ground transportation from the dock to the rental and book a golf cart to get around. (Fees apply for all services mentioned) We will be happy to help with trip preparations!

Relax and Reset
The cottage was lovely, the view of the ocean from the screen porch was perfect. Daufuskie Island is a great place to reset. There are very few people, beautiful nature and plenty of animals. There really isn’t much to do other than relax, read, beach and the history tour so if you want an active night life this is not the place for you.

LOVED IT!
Charming comfortable home with a beautiful setting! We spent two days at the property and were glad to be there when a storm came through and trapped us in the house. We just enjoyed hanging out in the house! Management checked in with us regularly and we had no problems whatsoever. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful bungalow with beautiful view
This is our second time staying at the home, and that says it all. Lovely, clean, all you need, and our favorite-the screened in porch. time slows down on Daufuskie. We loved every minute of it.

Relaxing family getaway
Wonderful oceanfront cottage. Comfortable and a quick walk to the beach. Great place for kids to swim in the ocean safely. Management was very helpful and responsive. Island is very quiet with minimal groceries and restaurants but great that it is secluded and not commercialized. Totally easy to bring groceries and supplement as needed on the island. Highly recommend.

4 days of peace & quiet. Had fun exploring the island with our golf cart and bikes. Nice home with lots of kitchen basics (coffee filters, spices, etc.) provided.
