You will fall in love with Daufuskie Island on your first visit. It is a vacation like no other. The craziness of traffic, tourist and crowded beaches are not our idea of relaxing. Your Daufuskie Island vacation begins when you leave your vehicle on the mainland and board a ferry or private boat for a fun ride over to the Island where you can often see Dolphins. After a short 30-45 minute ride you are so relaxed and ready to kick back and truly enjoy all the nature, quiet beaches, long walks & golf cart rides.

Feel any stress in your life instantly go away with the soft breeze of the ocean air. Tour the island on your golf cart and enjoy the nature and peacefulness. You may see rare birds, alligators, deer, fox squirrels and more!

At a specific point on Daufuskie Island you can see Hilton Head, Savannah and Tybee Island, but those crowded beaches are in the distance as you enjoy a private beautiful beach. If you want to see more of the local living enjoy a meal at the Daufuskie Crab Company, at the Freeport Marina, D'Fuskie's Store Eatery & Bar, On-Deck Diner, at Daufuskie Island Distillery, Frye's Corner, Island Shack or The Sportsman. Visit The Iron Fish, the community farm, The Daufuskie Island Distillery (Daufuskie Rum Company), Daufuskie Blues for indigo dying classes and beautiful merch, and The Light House at Silver Dew Winery.
In addition to our beautiful beaches, the Melrose Pool is open (seasonal).

There is so much to experience on Daufuskie, and we hope you will enjoy The Captain's Choice and all Daufuskie has to offer as much as we do!

Loved this Villa!

Everything about this villa was amazing. This was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. It smelled fresh and clean the moment we walked in. Everything was decorated beautifully. We had everything we needed for our stay. It was just as described. The host even went above and beyond to leave out a pack and play for our infant to sleep in since we were trying to minimize the amount of luggage we could take on the boat. We would definitely use them again!

Perfect holiday

The Captain’s Choice was the perfect setting for a vacation with our multigenerational group. The home was immaculate, quite spacious and included every amenity one could possibly need. It was a home away from home. The close proximity to the beach was the icing on the cake! Thank you!

Captain’s Choice Never Disappoints

We had another great stay at the Captain’s Choice! (Our fourth!) The house is very well appointed and is more than accommodating for me and my husband. The screen porch is to die for and we spend lots of time there. The fact that this home includes a golf cart is priceless and it’s always full of gas and waiting for us. We’ll definitely be back!

Daufuskie is a dream with a hiccup on each end. :)

Getting there and getting to the cabin were the biggest challenges of the week, but once there we were absolutely enchanted by the quiet pace and crowd free environs. Our host was very responsive and easy to work with. The home itself, especially with the big front porch looking out at the ocean, just knocked our socks off. My 12 year old insisted on sleeping out on the "summer porch" as his grandmother called it. We'll be back.
