About this property

The Evan Cottage

The Evan Cottage was built in 2013 and is the perfect cozy spot for your “unplugged” Daufuskie adventure! This 1 bedroom/1 full bath bungalow is fully furnished with modern amenities. Our massive covered front porch boasts a ceiling fan and plenty of space for outdoor dining and people watching! A Weber grill and fire pit complete your rustic experience. Enjoy a romantic couples weekend or an affordable vacation with your young family comfortably in our home.

Centrally located in the heart of the Historic District, the cottage is only a short walk to the Historic First Union African Baptist Church and Mary Fields School made famous by the book, "The Water is Wide" and movie "Conrack." The beach is 2 miles away via a peaceful 10 minute golf cart ride. Other nearby attractions include Freeport Marina, The General Store, Daufuskie Crab Company, D’Fuskies, The Rum Distillery, the Daufuskie Community Farm, Wine and Woodworks, The Iron Fish, and more! Evan Cottage is centrally located to all Daufuskie Island has to offer!

There are no passenger vehicles on Daufuskie Island. All visitors must access the island by personal watercraft or ferry service. There is no bridge and ferries do not allow cars. Expect an "unplugged" vacation with no WiFi and limited antennae cable, although you will have cell phone service and can use your data plan for Internet access if absolutely necessary. This is true island life!

If you are booking last minute in the busy summer season, you may want to check with the golf cart rental companies for availability first, prior to booking. We do not offer a refund if you cancel within two weeks of your reservation.

Read entire description of rental location

We were unaware of the following because we didn’t read the whole description; we would need to leave our vehicle behind to take a ferry to the island as no vehicles are allowed. Ferry fees are expensive and must be booked ahead, golf cart rental during stay to get to cabin and around is a necessity and is also expensive. Host was prompt with communication when we discovered our dilemna and refunded cleaning fee which wasn’t required of him and was appreciated.

Best tine ever!

The cottage was absolutely perfect. The island and its people are wonderful! We felt like we were part of their island family when we left. Love the way of life. From sitting on Sally’s front porch for over an hour talking and borrowing her fishing poles to venture out another day! to the ladies at the lighthouse, the preacher at the church, the guy at the coffee shop and so many more! It’s just like a Hallmark movie! Going back to a time lost in my memories when life was good. We are going back again!

1 bedroom Daufuskie Island cottage.

We stayed here while we volunteered for a 100 mile race on the island. The rental had everything we needed to be comfortable throughout the weekend. There are a couple of places to get food nearby if you rent a golf cart to get around. The closest restaurant was 2 miles from here since we were there in off season. The public beach is also 2 miles from here.

Comfortable Cottage on Daufuskie Island

We were very satisfied with the Evan cottage. The owner responded quickly to questions throughout the entire process. The description and photos were accurate. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The furniture was comfortable, especially the memory foam mattress. In comparison with other Daufuskie properties of equal size we felt it was a great value. We appreciated the wooded, secluded setting and enjoyed having loads of available kindling as a result (even had branch trimmers to cut branches for kindling). The central location affords quick access to many parts of the island, including Haig Point, the ferry landing, the general store and dining options at Cooper River Landing.

Perfect cottage for 2

Cottage was very clean and well stocked with the basics. Front porch is great. We visited based on a write up in Southern Living Mag, which did prove to be somewhat misleading. Many restaurants were closed for the season even though signs indicated they were open for business. Grocery store had limited items for purchase. Haig Point restaurants and facilities are for members only. Old Daufuskie Crab was open and very good. The Front Porch at the distillery was good. Fryes was good. Golf cart rental is a must. Bring more groceries and less clothes would be my advice.
