The Houseboat on Tybee Island
Located at the Tybee Island Marina on Lazaretto Creek, along the western boundary of Tybee Island, The Houseboat offers spectacular sunrise and sunset views nestled in a serene spot between the beach on Tybee or a day exploring Savannah. Due to its location on a floating dock in a tidal creek, with low tides making for a difficult/steep transition between the floating and stationary docks, The Houseboat is not ideal for guests with mobility issues.

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.
What are the 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.
