Bluffton Farm Cottage: Come for Summer Vacation
We were in South Carolina for the first time for a wedding and couldn’t have picked a more perfect rental. The home was beautiful, the location was ideal, and the host was so accommodating and responsive. I only wish we had more time there so we could have enjoyed the back patio! We can’t wait to come back.

Located mid-island by tennis courts, marsh sunsets
We had a very short but relaxing stay at Kathy’s place. We enjoyed how quiet and private yet walkable it is to some food options and morning coffee. Loved riding around on a golf cart exploring the island and meeting its beautiful deer everywhere! We definitely will be back!

The Hampton House
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hampton House! The house was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Location on the water can not be beat. All the beach toys and kayaks were a bonus. Derrick was super responsive and helpful. We would definitely come back. Highly recommend.

Penrose Cottage
We are very thankful to have came across this beautiful cottage for our vacation. It was everything we imagined and more. When we arrived there was music playing, wine, a sweet note, and a cake was left to greet us upon our arrival for our anniversary. It was full of all the amenities all the way down to Apple Watch chargers on each side of the bed (something I forgot to pack). Anything you may forget, Kimberly most likely has it in the cottage for you already. The beach chairs were great to take to the beach! (as we also had forgot ours) Everything was thoughtfully decorated and stocked. I loved the front porch area for my morning reading and coffee. It’s nestled on a quiet street just a short drive to Savannah and Tybee Island. Communication was amazing. We didn’t have any questions during our stay, but from the prior communication and check in, I was sure Kimberly was just a text away. We felt at home and safe at Penrose Cottage. We hope one day to be able to come back!

Tranquil Treehouse on Fripp Island Marsh
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! Thank you Emily for a great family vacation on Fripp! Your home is a slice of paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the city life! The low country at its finest. We saw deer, coons, gators, every kind of bird imaginable while on our stay on the island. We will be back!

Modern Beach Escape | Private Pool~Steps to Beach
The host was fabulous and attentive throughout the booking and our stay. The home was impeccable, conveniently located and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and leisurely beach vacay!

Beachfront Paradise w/ Dock
Beautiful and serene home! Very clean and comfortable. Views are fantastic. Ashley was wonderfully responsive. We will be back again!

Peaceful Harbour Town Treehouse with Marsh Views
Extremely responsive and helpful host. Great house, gorgeous, peaceful views. Perfect location. Will definitely be back! This house is perfect for a couple, workable for a family of three or four. Bathrooms clean and new but small. Lots of wildlife. Enjoyed the nature walk, bike riding and proximity to Harbourtown. Thank you for your hospitality!!

Beach Villa on Daufuskie Island
Great stay! Same as last year, the house is clean, it's a great location, and the included transportation and golf cart make life so easy!

5 Star Location! Pool, Walk to Shops/Dining
We had the best time on HHI at Christina’s condo. My husband & I took our one year old on her first beach vacation and there was plenty of space! We loved the convenience of the location as well as the patio for our morning coffee. We utilized the trolley in the Sea Pines area which conveniently stops at the condo to get to the beach! We would go back in a heartbeat.

D'island Retreat
Nice quiet location with plenty of room. Mrs Angel was very accommodating. Easy check in, and very comfortable stay

Ocean-View Treetop Escape w/ Fire Pit!
My wife and I came here for our baby moon to celebrate our first child. As beach people AND also airbnb hosts, we are picky. Pictures do not do this place justice. Wildlife is everywhere from dolphins, cranes, and Deer. Sunsets that look like you see pictures of in magazines. This place is special, unique, and without a doubt the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. On top of all of this, the hosts did ALL the little things right as far as amenities. Clean, recently renovated, comfortable beds/pillows, heated fan in the master bathroom, and ceiling fans in every room. Do not hesitate and book this place! My wife and I already rebooked to come back later this year.

Birdsong Oasis, Daufuskie Island
My family of 4 enjoyed every moment at Birdsong Oasis! It is immaculately clean and very beautifully decorated. There are many thoughtful touches throughout, including a sweet welcome message with treats. The beds are wonderfully comfortable with extra pillows and we loved the screened porch overlooking the marsh. The location is great too, across the street from the beach and within walking distance to two restaurants and swimming pools. We are looking forward to our next stay!

Daufuskie Point of View
Patricia’s place was perfect for our family. Dafuski is a unique place and this was exactly what we wanted. Patricia was open and honest about what was available on the island and what was not. Her property manager, Susan, was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, flexible, and friendly. The location and set up of the condo was perfect. We loved having our coffee on the deck and walking the beach every morning. Super helpful that we can bring our dogs as well. I think we found our perfect place on Dafuski. Thank you so much Patricia and Susan!

Luxury OceanView KING BED 75"TV Bar Gym Pickleball
Such a beautiful place with everything you need plus more! Short walk to the beach or huge pool. Plus the perk of a beach bar/ restaurant! Host was very proactive and provided detailed information for a smooth, no hassle vacation! Definitely will stay again!

Your guide to Daufuskie Island
All About Daufuskie Island
Tiny, five-mile long Daufuskie Island is nestled in the South Carolina Lowcountry — which stretches from Savannah, Georgia, up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — where it meets the dolphin-rich waters of Calibogue Sound. People come to the island to leave their cars behind — it’s all about bikes and golf carts here — and try their luck fishing for speckled trout at Bloody Point. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, Daufuskie Island blends Spanish moss-strewn branches, unpaved woodland roads, and spongy marshes surrounding ponds home to alligators and snowy egrets.
Daufuskie Island is also known for its strong Gullah culture — traditions maintained by the descendants of West Africans. The legacy of the Gullah people can be seen and felt in historic cottages with painted blue windows as protection against evil spirits, dishes including stone-ground grits and shrimp, and the sculpture, basket weaving, and painting showcased at local art galleries.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Daufuskie Island
The summer months are the busiest here, and an ideal time to book a rental on Daufuskie Island. Fall is when temperatures start to cool down, and an occasional, cool breeze can be felt here and there. Visiting during this season, you get the added benefit of enjoying the annual Fall Fest with live music, arts and crafts, and an all-you-can-eat oyster roast. Winter is temperate enough to be outside and visitors can enjoy a bug-free night on the beaches or in town. Come spring, the sunny weather picks up again and the island’s rivers and saltwater creeks are excellent for kayaking. Three miles of white-sand beach also beckon for sunny wanders past pastel-hued beachfront homes on stilts.
Top things to do in Daufuskie Island
Bloody Point Lighthouse
This historical landmark is not your typical lighthouse. Looking more like a keeper’s cottage, the light was operated via a dormer window. Now out of commission, Bloody Point Lighthouse is a museum where you can learn about the island’s history and the major role it played in naval trade for centuries.
Rob Kennedy Trail
Named for the first president of the Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation, this self-guided route crisscrosses the island, but you can start at any point. There are 20 listed sites of interest, from Mt. Carmel Baptist Church — home to a museum dedicated to the island’s history — to the Oyster Union Society Hall, which dates from the late 19th century.
Daufuskie Island Museum
People have inhabited this tiny island for more than 9,000 years, and there’s no place better to learn about its complicated history than at the Daufuskie Island Museum. A mix of informational displays and artifacts help trace the island’s history, from Indigenous conflicts to European settlers to it becoming a center for the Gullah community. Before you go, pick up a walking map of the island’s historic sites.
