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!

Summary: Beautiful and intimate. Quiet. Peaceful. Relaxing. One suggestion . . . fix the BBQ -- it's probably time for a new one. We tried grilling the first night -- had to finish in the house. The burners are gone on the grill.

Summary: My husband, son and I stayed in Dafauskie Island during Spring Break. We had a great time! The Oceanfront Cottage was awesome! It was very clean and it had everything we needed. I loved being able to look out the big windows towards the ocean. The walk to the beach was short and easy. They have beach chairs and you would just need to bring your own beach towels. It was nice being able to ride around in the golf cart. We really enjoyed our visit to the museum, where we learned quite a bit of Dafauskie’s history. Communication with the rental group was easy. We would definitely love to return!

Summary: This cottage is adorable and so well laid out. I love the two chairs in front of the window with the most stunning views of sunrise and tides. A wonderful way to start your day with coffee and soaking in The beautiful day. Loved the golf cart transportation and the ease of it being ready when we arrived. I struggled a little with the keypad lock but finally managed. The weather was cool and would have loved to use the gas fireplace to take the chill off but could not get it to work ..:I did not ask for help but am sure the rental group would be responsive The only thing I would suggest is maybe replacing the all bed pillows A really amazing location and I would recommend it to anyone for a great vacation.

Summary: This is an amazing property. The house sits right across the path from the beach, and right next to a beach club with fabulous food, and terrific pools. Plus we had the wonderful opportunity to see a sea turtle emerge from the ocean, and make a nest for her babies in the sandy beach behind the house! The rental company folks who live on-island are very nice, helpful and responsive to issues that arose during our stay. We left our extra non-perishable unopened food in a bag on the counter to support local families. It’s a nice way to give back a little to this island and the nice folks who will welcome you here! FYI: bring food, beach towels, dish soap and trash bags. Have fun on Daufuskie!
