DAUFUSKIE ISLAND SC
Your villa is located on one of the best-kept secrets on the eastern coast: Daufuskie Island. Your vacation home overlooks 3 miles of pristine, quiet beaches where all you can hear is the sound of gentle waves and beautiful shore birds. Watch the shrimp boats, bike or ride horses along the beach, take a Historic tour and discover the Gullah History of Daufuskie or take in a round of golf. Don't forget to try our island delicacy, deviled crabs! Better still, we'll help arrange a full low-country dinner prepared by a local resident to be delivered directly to your cottage.

History buffs will enjoy exploring the island and visiting various sites providing a glimpse into the past, including the recently-restored Oyster House used as a 19th century Gullah meeting place, the Billie Burns Museum, ancient cemeteries, and the two-room school house where renowned author Pat Conroy taught and which was the subject of his first book, The Water is Wide.
Those interested in unique shopping opportunities will want to visit such attractions as the Iron Fish Art Gallery, Daufuskie Blues, Daufuskie Soap, the Daufuskie Rum Company and the weekly shrimp and produce stand during the warmer months. And you certainly don't want to miss the Daufuskie Island Community Farm, where old and young visitors alike are encouraged to help feed the chickens and even to try milking a goat!
The island's motto is 'No Bridge? No Problem!'
Getting Around:
IMPORTANT NOTES
- You will have to take a 30 - 50 minute boat ride to get to Daufuskie, which is a bridge-less island located between Hilton Head SC and Savannah, GA. We are happy to provide information about various ferry and water taxi options.
- You will almost certainly want to rent a golf cart for getting around the island, and we will help with those arrangements. (You should count on around $65 a day for a 4 seat cart.)
