Guests must arrive by ferry or water taxi and secure ground transportation from the arrival dock on Daufuskie to the cottage.
There is a small general store on the island for essentials, however, it is highly recommended that you bring food over with you or order grocery delivery. There are restaurants on the Island - Old Daufuskie Crab Company, D'Fuskies, and Frye's Chicken Shack.

Summary: Beautiful home & location. Quick beach access. Great communication. Daufuskie is our favorite and will continue to be a yearly trip. Only recommendations to the host I could recommend are - updating mattresses (we could feel the springs) & better hot water (we had cold showers) - we would still stay again!
