Daufuskie Island
You will enjoy touring "the island that time forgot" on either a rented 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.
If you're looking for an old-fashioned beach vacation experience, this house will exceed your expectations. Expect this vacation home to book fast! Reserve the Daufuskie Sea Horse Cottage for your family's vacation of a lifetime!
Getting Around:

Other Things to Note:
A 4-passenger golf cart is included for any reservation created on or after 12/31/25

PET POLICY:
Well-behaved canine family members are welcome, but must be adult dogs, housetrained, must stay off of furniture, not be incessant barkers, and must be friendly towards humans and other dogs. Upon departure, the vacation home should look as though no pet had been in it, including removal of pet hair. There is a pet fee of $125 for one dog, and $175 for two dogs.
In addition, the property manager must approve all pet requests. Your dog must be over one year old, not be aggressive towards people or other pets, be house trained, will not get up on the furniture, and is ok with being left alone when you are away from the cottage (e.g no incessant barking or destructive behavior). We also ask that you be a responsible pet owner when the dog is outside, that there will be no signs that your pet was in the property when you depart, and that you will be responsible for any damage and/or extra cleaning caused by your dog.
Interaction with Guests:
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. Team members strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable adventure for their visitors, and to ensure that their Daufuskie experience creates lasting and once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Daufuskie Rental Group is not responsible for the availability (or lack thereof) of any amenity beyond our control, such as the restaurants, museum, etc.
IMPORTANT: IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE A FERRY TO DAUFUSKIE, SO EXTRA FEES WILL APPLY. WE WILL HELP FACILITATE WITH THOSE ARRANGEMENTS.
