The Neighborhood:
Daufuskie Island
The beach is great, but most of our visitors take time to get to know the rest of this special island. Those who do quickly realize that they have discovered a hidden gem just a short boat ride from the mainland. Quiet, laid-back, and unique, beautiful Daufuskie is described by old-timers as similar to Hilton Head before there was a bridge.
When you come to Daufuskie, you will have the opportunity to experience a lovely low country island with a centuries-old cultural history, beautiful beaches, spectacular wildlife, and friendly residents.
So, what are you waiting for? Book your Daufuskie Island vacation today at the Secret Beach Cottage!
Getting Around:
Logistics
Concerned about the logistics of coming to a bridge-less island? Don't be! This cottage is managed by Daufuskie Rental Group, the island's premiere vacation rental company. An on-island team will be available to help you sort through the boat options, ground transportation services, and golf cart arrangements. We are also available to help in any way while you're on the island. After all, we take our slogan to heart: "No Bridge? No Problem!"
Other Things to Note:
** PET POLICY:
We will accept a well-behaved canine member of the family if approved by the property manager. However, the dog must be over one year old, not be aggressive towards people or other pets, be house trained, does not get up on the furniture, and is ok with being left alone when you are away from the cottage (no incessant barking or destructive behavior). We require that you will be a responsible pet owner when the dog is outside, that your dog is always kept on a leash, is up-to-date on flea and heart worm treatment and...most importantly...that there will be no signs that your pet was in the property when you depart. You must be responsible for any damage and/or extra cleaning caused by your dog. There is a nonrefundable pet fee of $125 for one dog.
