About this property

Minutes from the beach, with indoor hot tub

This 2 bedroom/2 bath cottage with hot tub - sleeps up to 6, and just a short ride to the beach! Features an indoor hot tub, and 2 kayaks are available to use.

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

This eclectic storybook cottage is located in the Historic District of Daufuskie Island, just minutes from one of the most secluded public beaches 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 home features a bedroom 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 6.

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 additional futon.

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 Wi-Fi 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!

Absolutely amazing stay! I cannot say enough about this beautiful house! It was everything it advertised and more! Definitely takes some planning/coordinating (no cars, no groceries stores, etc) but that makes the experience that much more exciting! We are already planning for another stay next year!

Host was very responsive and had all information easily accessible. Although we did not use the kitchen, it was very well stocked. The house is very eclectic and in need of some maintenance and a good deep cleaning. The area of the island the house is located in is less than desirable.

About the host

Hosted by Burke & Alicia Brennan

Host profile image
Burke and Alicia, always in a festive spirit. We love hanging out on the "public" beach, even though most of the time, its just us there! This Daufuskie Island getaway is our second home. Most of the time we can be found in Tucker, GA, just north of Atlanta.

Why they chose this property

We love the outdoors, walking, hiking, biking and going to the beach. We prefer small, intimate encounters with fewer people, than being swallowed by crowds. Daufuskie Island is a calming retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

What makes this property unique

Picnic gazebo in the back yard.
Goldfish pond.
Indoor hot tub.
