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!

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.
