About this property

Moon River, Waterfront Compound on Daufuskie Island

Moon River Retreat at Daufuskie with Private Dock

3 Coastal Cottages | 9 Bedrooms Total | Riverfront Retreat on Daufuskie Island

Located on Daufuskie Island, Moon River is a private three-home compound designed for group stays, family gatherings, and special occasions. The property includes three individual cottages—each offering 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms—with the option to reserve one home or the full 9-bedroom compound.

Two cottages sit directly on the riverfront, while the third enjoys open water views across the marsh and river toward Savannah. Wide coastal vistas define the setting, with long sightlines and a quiet pace that sets Daufuskie apart from the mainland.

Each home is designed for indoor-outdoor living. Open-air ground levels create natural gathering space with hammocks, ping pong, and cornhole, while the shared outdoor fireplace and private dock bring everyone together at the water's edge. The layout allows groups to stay connected while still having space to spread out across three separate homes.

Access to the island is by boat, reinforcing the secluded nature of the experience. Once on Daufuskie, golf carts are the primary way to explore, with local dining and beaches adding to the island's relaxed rhythm.

For travelers looking for a large group rental on Daufuskie Island with waterfront views, Moon River delivers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and coastal Lowcountry scenery.
