About this property

Minutes from the beach, with indoor hot tub

This 2 bedroom/2 bath cottage with hot tub - sleeps up to 7, and just a short ride to the beach!

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 7.

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 trundle.

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!

Great Getaway

My family of 5 had a wonderful time at the Storybook Cottage! It was stocked with everything we could need and then some. The owner was very quick to respond when I had a question. We loved the location and had great neighbors. We would definitely stay there again!

A piece of heaven

I visit the island a lot and currently purchased property to build on the island. I have always drove by this cute cottage and wanted to stay in it and when we found it on line I jumped in it to rent. It’s in a quiet peaceful part of the island that is just relaxing!!! Highly recommend owner was awesome to work with.

Charming Daufuskie Stay

Our family enjoyed our short stay in the charming storybook cottage. The home was well stocked with everything we needed! Beds were comfy and we had more than enough room for the 5 of us. Burke was easy to reach and was able to answer any questions we had.

Could not have been better!

We really loved our stay here. We are obsessed with the island and this is located away from any “crowds”. Felt like we were surrounded by locals and it was so quiet/peaceful. I would love to stay here again and Burke was responsive every time. Hot tub is a major bonus and they had chairs we could use on the beach. House had great information on the island and its history, a map, and recommendations for food/sites to see.

Amazing!

We were looking for a semi secluded island to visit and this was perfect! The pictures depict the true size of what the property looks like. It was the perfect amount t of space for our party, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook with and the beds were extremely comfortable! If we come back again I would totally stay here again!

Storybook vibe

This sweet cottage is off the beaten path. Perfectly appointed to accommodate the low-key island vibe. The area offers opportunities to explore modern-day ruins by bike or golf cart. Bring a chair and a pair of binoculars to watch the birds at the rookery.

Loved it!

What a great place to stay in the historic district of Daufuskie Island! Loved that our adult kids had the upstairs to themselves if they wanted alone time (although I had a hard time deciding if who should get the upstairs. It is so cute!). Everything was cozy and lovely. The owner was very welcoming and great at answering all of our questions. Only wish it had been warmer outside so we could enjoy the yard and gazebo.

Perfect Home and Location for Daufuskie

This home was more than I expected! Perfect central location to get to true Daufuskie Island experience. Short golf cart ride to the beach. Lucy bells, Daufuskies, and most of the things to do were all very close. Nice community feel. The home had everything you could need for a short or long visit (full kitchen (2 really) with equipment, linens, grill, gazebo). Fun house with character. Owners were very responsive and helpful. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

Our Reality Escape to Paradise

Even when we can go anywhere in the world, we choose to go to Daufuskie Island. This time we got to spend a week! For the first time, we took the Sallie Ann Robinson tour - definitely worth the time and $$$. She brought us the Daufuskie historic stories from a 6th generation, first-hand point of view. School Grounds Coffee is a favorite meeting place with an amazing menu selection and friendly staff and patrons. We enjoy the authentic feel of the original school rooms there where Pat Conroy taught in 1969 and wrote about in "The Water Is Wide." The beach walks were awesome and serene with a crystal clear ocean! Everyday ended in a relaxing hot tub dip.

About the host

Hosted by Burke 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.
