About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

2 bed/2 bath with hot tub - sleeps up to 7 - just minutes from the beach!

Experience the seclusion and charm of an island paradise in coastal South Carolina. How secluded? Well, there is no causeway, so there are very few cars and most use the public ferry or private boats to get on or off the island. Once on the island, golf carts and bicycles are the way to go.

This eclectic storybook cottage is located in the Historic District of Daufuskie Island, just minutes from the the most private public beach in America. Fish from the ocean shoreline or in the brackish marsh for sheepshead, croakers, whiting and more!

About the house itself: Quirky and comfortable, everything you need to feel at home is at your fingertips. This 2/2 home features a bed and bath upstairs and downstairs, with two kitchens and two living areas, which is perfect for two families travelling together. Can sleep up to a total of 7. The lower-level galley kitchen is equipped for everything you need for home-prepared meals, and the dining area seats 6 comfortably. Pocket doors provide the privacy for the lower master bedroom with a full-size bed, while the open floorplan of the upstairs bedroom features a queen-size bed and an addition trundle.

The lower-level hot tub room and the upper-level deck both overlook an outdoor gazebo (great for a picnic lunch) and goldfish pond in the back yard. 600/50 Mbps wifi with Roku, Google Chrome and antenna television.

This cottage is non-smoking and no pets!

A washer and dryer is also available so you can pack lightly for an extended stay!

Our Reality Escape to Paradise

Even when we can go anywhere in the world, we choose to go to Daufuskie Island. This time we got to spend a week! For the first time, we took the Sallie Ann Robinson tour - definitely worth the time and $$$. She brought us the Daufuskie historic stories from a 6th generation, first-hand point of view. School Grounds Coffee is a favorite meeting place with an amazing menu selection and friendly staff and patrons. We enjoy the authentic feel of the original school rooms there where Pat Conroy taught in 1969 and wrote about in "The Water Is Wide." The beach walks were awesome and serene with a crystal clear ocean! Everyday ended in a relaxing hot tub dip.

Could not have been better!

We really loved our stay here. We are obsessed with the island and this is located away from any “crowds”. Felt like we were surrounded by locals and it was so quiet/peaceful. I would love to stay here again and Burke was responsive every time. Hot tub is a major bonus and they had chairs we could use on the beach. House had great information on the island and its history, a map, and recommendations for food/sites to see.

Amazing vacation house for an amazing vacation!

We had an amazing stay here for a week. We got caught in a rainstorm upon arriving to the island but thankfully the instructions to getting into the house was very clear and easy. Great communication with how things worked. The house was very clean and smelled amazing when we walked in. The beds were comfortable and the two separate living spaces was great. We had 2 families staying and it didn't feel like we were on top of each other trying to get ready each day. Very convenient location close to the county dock and grocery store. Nice quiet road with some neighbors but we barely even knew they were there. There was a couple of historic sites on our road that we didn't have to go out to the main road to explore. Also plenty of beach towels and shower towels. If you're staying here you really dont need to bring all those extras. Washer and dryer was a bonus so you dont have to bring a lot of clothes. Hot tub was a great addition to the end of the night after exploring all day. This was our second stay on the island and this was definitely a great house to stay at. Would definitely recommend and stay again next year.

Charming Daufuskie Stay

Our family enjoyed our short stay in the charming storybook cottage. The home was well stocked with everything we needed! Beds were comfy and we had more than enough room for the 5 of us. Burke was easy to reach and was able to answer any questions we had.

Daufuskie Adventure

We had a good time. The cottage is storybook like and quaint. My husband and I had the downstairs and my two adult girls had the upstairs. The owner is very nice and very quick to respond. It was cold on our first day/night on island. The hot tub was Perfect!! Special addition. Oh yeah! the girls checked on and fed the fish outside in the koi pond. The house was well equipped with everything you need. We felt right at home. Looking forward to next time! This was our first time visiting the island.

Storybook vibe

This sweet cottage is off the beaten path. Perfectly appointed to accommodate the low-key island vibe. The area offers opportunities to explore modern-day ruins by bike or golf cart. Bring a chair and a pair of binoculars to watch the birds at the rookery.

Glad to be home.

Daufuskie Island definitely isn’t for everyone. We found the island very remote with little to offer for food/groceries $$$. We packed 3 large suit cases of just groceries, but dining out options would have been a nice option to have. Locals are not welcoming and seemed to despise island visitors. Be sure to budget $100 for baggage handling and $400+ to have a golf cart for the week. Rental did have bikes with flat tires, but a cart is needed as attractions are quite far. There are few attractions. Home has a cabin like feel and is well worn. Neighbor situation and condition of yard made the outside basically useless for our needs. Photos of the home are dated and do not accurately depict the current condition. We are Michigan residents and have stayed in Vrbo properties for over 10 years while vacationing. This not one we would stay twice in.

Loved it!

What a great place to stay in the historic district of Daufuskie Island! Loved that our adult kids had the upstairs to themselves if they wanted alone time (although I had a hard time deciding if who should get the upstairs. It is so cute!). Everything was cozy and lovely. The owner was very welcoming and great at answering all of our questions. Only wish it had been warmer outside so we could enjoy the yard and gazebo.

Cute and quaint private getaway

My wife and I stayed here for our honey moon. The house was very comfortable and clean and extremely private. It was a short golf cart ride to a very private public beach. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay on Daufuskie.
