Feel any stress in your life instantly go away with the soft breeze of the ocean air. Tour the island on your golf cart and enjoy the nature and peacefulness. You may see rare birds, alligators, deer, fox squirrels and more!

At a specific point on Daufuskie Island you can see Hilton Head, Savannah and Tybee Island, but those crowded beaches are in the distance as you enjoy a private beautiful beach. If you want to see more of the local living enjoy a meal at the Daufuskie Crab Company, at the Freeport Marina, D'Fuskie's Store Eatery & Bar, On-Deck Diner, at Daufuskie Island Distillery, Frye's Corner, Driftwood Diner or The Sportsman.

Great island getaway property! Beautifully appointed decor. 2 bedroom ensuite condo. Each suite had a bath, mini frig, tons of storage. The king suite had a shower and jacuzzi tub. The suites were separated by a large kitchen, dining, living area with expansive views of the water. This layout provides nice privacy. The porch was also fabulous with comfortable furniture and the same spectacular views. Great for a family or 2 couples.

An amazing villa for a fantastic 3 night get away. A beautifully decorated villa that was spacious and very clean. Communication was easy and prompt. The screened in porch was my favorite spot to enjoy coffee and start the day on island time.

Relaxing family getaway

We had a great stay here (myself, my wife, 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son). This was a great location, and the villa was very nice. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring the island and eating at the various restaurants. The hosts were kind very good at communicating through VRBO. Highly recommend.
