Spectacular "WOW" House- 3 Bedrooms - Featured on HGTV - Walk to Coffee Shop!

Beautiful DA FUSKIE DREAMS Historic District House -
The DA FUSKIE DREAMS HOUSE HAS BEEN FEATURED IN HGTV (HOME AND GARDEN TV) AS A "WOW-WORTHY" VACATION HOME!

THE ONLY HISTORIC DISTRICT VACATION HOME THAT OFFERS A COMBINATION PACKAGE OF FIBER OPTICS (HIGH SPEED) INTERNET AND CABLE TV.

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST TAKE A BOAT TO GET TO DAUFUSKIE ISLAND (WE HELP WITH THE LOGISTICS) AND YOU SHOULD PLAN TO SPEND APPROXIMATELY $65 PER PERSON ROUNDTRIP FOR BOTH BOAT AND GROUND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.

We're getting ahead of ourselves! Let's talk about the location.

This beautiful house (just 6 years old!) is located in the heart of Daufuskie's Historic District, and is perfect for visitors who want to truly experience the local island life on our special island. Visitors are an easy walk away from Daufuskie's historic church, from the Mary Fields School (now housing the School Grounds Coffee Shop and the Daufuskie Blues studio), and from the historic Francis Jones House. Beach Road is just around the corner, and the best beach on the island is a 5 minute golf cart away.

This house is perfect for those who want to get off the beaten track and really get to know this unique and quirky island, including its warm and friendly residents. Visitors are given the opportunity to experience an island life that has all but disappeared from the Low Country region.

The Da Fuskie Dreams House is located on a private and serene wooded setting. There are lots of outside extras such as a hammock suspended between two trees, a fire pit, an outdoor hot/cold shower, and a garage for your rental golf cart. (We will help set up your rental cart with Tour Daufuskie, and it will be delivered directly to your house.)

Quite frankly, this house has been the talk of the island since it was built, and literally EVERYONE who sees it raves out its uniqueness, beauty, and serene setting.

Concerned about the logistics of coming to a bridge-less island? No need to worry! Guests receive information and assistance from the DRG team, all of whom live on the island and who are available 24/7 for any problems. Team members strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable adventure for their visitors, and to ensure that their Daufuskie experience creates lasting and once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Daufuskie Rental Group is not responsible for the availability (or lack thereof) of any amenity beyond our control, such as the restaurants, museum, etc.

IMPORTANT: IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE A FERRY TO DAUFUSKIE, SO EXTRA FEES WILL APPLY. WE WILL HELP FACILITATE WITH THOSE ARRANGEMENTS.

Guests are expected to follow golf cart operation rules, e.g., no kids driving cart; no driving on the beach; no alcohol.

Guests are expected to leave the house in the condition they found it, so that it is ready for cleaning and sanitizing

This is NOT a party house. Please look elsewhere if you are looking for a vacation home for that purpose.


The "Da Fuskie Dreams" House is an incredibly wonderful addition to the Daufuskie vacation home rental inventory! It's difficult to describe how lovely and unique this house is! It's breathtakingly lovely...starting with the fabulous screened-in front porch with its suspension "swing bed" and "swing table!" As soon as you walk onto the porch, you will know you are in for a one-of-a kind island experience! ****

Let's talk about the house! You’ll love the beauty and comfort of this well-equipped house, its serene setting, and large screened-in front porch. The house is impeccably constructed and designed. The pretty kitchen is fully equipped and will make preparing family meals a snap. The Living Room includes great views of the surrounding woods, and includes a flat-screen Smart TV. The owner has recently had a fiber optics high speed internet and cable system installed. (The only such combo system to be found in a Daufuskie historic district vacation home. Why miss the big game just because you're on Daufuskie??)

You'll find the nearby Iron Fish Art Gallery's art throughout the house.

The Mermaid Bedroom and the Beach Bedroom are both located on the main floor. Each has a queen-size bed, a view of the surrounding woods, and en suite bathrooms.

The Dreams Loft Bedroom offers more sleeping options, including a queen-size futon and a Day Bed...and a whimsical adjoining half bathroom. (Kids love this space!)

Quiet and Relaxing
This was a great getaway for a quiet long weekend. We brought out dogs and enjoyed walking and letting them play on the beach. The screen porch is a perfect place for a nap.

Wonderful Stay at your house on Daufuski Island
We had a wonderful time on Daufuski Island. The house was wonderful. It was very clean and had all of the starting amenities needed. The rental group checking in on us by text the first day and after the first night to make sure we had everything we needed. It was a great vacation. We loved the porch!

Wonderful getaway!
This was my family’s fifth time staying at DaFuskie Dreams, and our 6th visit to DI. The home is the perfect size for our family and a great location, just a short cart ride to the beach. Very private, clean, and maintained. We LOVE relaxing on the porch swing. Host is very responsive and informative. Always a great stay!

Fabulous
The Dreams house was everything we needed and more. The well-stocked kitchen allowed me to cook meals for our family all week. There were books sharing the history of Daufuskie. Nice location, very quick cart ride to the beach. The best part about our stay, though was Deb. She was incredibly helpful when the power went out on our first night and was very responsive to any needs we had all week. 10/10 would recommend this property!

Enjoyable spring break
This property was good, but has the potential to be really, really great. Deb, the property manager, was wonderful. She called us the day before to assist with any last minute travel arrangements. She also met us at the property upon our arrival, and texted us various eating options throughout the week. She was kind and very responsive. The location of the home is great. Very private and lots of outdoor space. My kids and dog enjoy exploring outside. There is a great opportunity to increase overall experience of this home as cleanliness was definitely a factor. The first day, we found a dirty hand towel which Deb immediately apologized and offered us a nominal credit which was appreciated. After that, we found several other cleanliness issues throughout the week. We didn't want to keep bothering Deb, although I'm sure she would have taken care of them. Instead, we did forward her a list of the issues after checkout so they can be fixed for next time. Deb shared that the house is scheduled for a deep clean next week so the next guests will get to enjoy it even more. Once the cleanliness and linen issues are corrected, this property will truly be 5+ stars.

Beautiful home! Relaxing island!
We really enjoyed our stay on Daufuskie! It’s definitely a laid back, relaxing environment. The beaches are really remote! No touristy crowds! The house was absolutely beautiful. Comfortable, clean, adorably decorated. Deb was extremely helpful as well. Ask a lot of questions before you journey to the island…everyone is willing to help. I would highly advise using the private water taxis and packing whatever you want! Bring groceries to cook and enjoy on the deck.

Our first (and hopefully not last) trip to DI
We loved our stay in the little cottage in the woods! It was so cute and cozy! The house was clean and Deb was very kind and helpful. The bed/swing got a lot of use whether for relaxing, reading, or napping! The ride to the beach seemed to get shorter and shorter as our stay went on! The location within walking distance to the coffee shop was so convenient! Our drives around the island on our cart were so much fun and we loved exploring! Our family really wants to return one day for another stay!

40th birthday weekend
The house was perfect. Excellent use of space. The house isn't huge but we had 8 adults, a 9 year old and a baby and there was plenty of space. Three bathrooms were a great help. We spent every night sitting on the giant screened in porch playing games and catching up with each other. My husband said it was his best birthday ever.

Truly relaxing vacation
We felt right at home on the island and in our beach house. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals "at home" and we also enjoyed the couple of restaurants on the island. We went to the beach every day and explored all we could in our golf cart. Our hostess was very attentive and informative. I would highly, highly recommend !

Our vacation on Daufuski was amazing from start to finish. Arriving at our rental house was so exciting. It is swt back in the woods a little away from the road. It is so charming and special. We enjoyed most of out time on the front porch swing listening to the sound of nature. It was wonderful.

Perfect house!
My family of 5 plus our labradoodle thoroughly enjoyed staying at this home. The house was very clean upon arrival and had everything we needed. We were here for 5 days and did not want to leave. Daufuskie is an amazing place and this house made it that much better. Plenty of room for everyone and very close to many of the attractions that bring you here including the beach.

We loved this cute and very clean home. You don't need to bring much, plenty of beach items like umbrella and chairs. Toys for the kids. Well stocked kitchen, but try Lucy Belles, it's ok n the neighborhood. House is bigger than it looks, and we were well taken care of by owner.

Perfect getaway
Thank you for making this wonderful house available on VRBO. Our family had the opportunity to spend a week here, and the only thing we regret was not staying longer. The house is perfect for small families, and they have truly thought of everything you might need, in the house and in the shed for outdoor fun. We basically lived on the front porch when we were not at the beach just down the road. We definitely hope to be back again soon!

Vacation during COVID
We loved the property - it's exactly how it appears in the photos - even better! If we weren't on the beach or exploring, we spent most of our time on the beautiful porch. There is plenty of seating and the bed/swing was our favorite. Our three boys and dog had plenty of space to run around in the yard, and they loved the outdoor shower! Everyone had a great time.

Family “Girl’s” Trip
My sister and her 2 daughters decided we wanted to take a girls trip for the youngest niece’s 51st birthday and go somewhere we hadn’t been before. We chose Daufuskie Island for the peace and quiet. When looking for a place to stay I ran across this property and loved it immediately. The cute porch, the nice layout, fire pit, everything looked perfect. And it was! Cottage was clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities you could ask for. Beds were comfy and living area roomy. The upstairs loft stairs were very steep so my nieces offered to sleep there on the daybed and futon. They said both were comfortable. Unfortunately we were unable to use fire pit due to the weather but it was nice. We brought water but water from faucet taste fine. There was an ice maker in freezer that produced lots of ice. TV was easy to operate but we didn’t watch it much. There were games supplied but both the Yahtzee and Monopoly had lots of pieces missing. Note to owner: you might want to go through and replace games or get rid of any that are not “playable”. I would have brought games from home had I known that we couldn’t use what was at the rental. Also, a DVD would be really nice on a rainy day. Also, the cottage notebook needs to be updated. A lot of the info provided is no longer accurate due to Covid. Back to rental! It was just wonderful and we plan on going back. Due to Covid and other issues, at here are very few choices for eating out so DO bring food if your staying for a full week. If only staying for 2 or 3 days, enjoy lunch at Lucy Bells and dinner at Daufuskie Crab Co. Do try to visit all the sites and enjoy the laid back atmosphere!!

Much needed peace and quiet
When we pulled into the driveway I knew we had picked a winner! We drove into the wooded lot during early evening. There was a lamp on in the window -- incredibly inviting! We opened the door to the sound of soft music from the TV. We found the kitchen well-stocked for cooking our meals. The beds were soft and cozy. Although it was too chilly to enjoy the screened porch or outdoor shower, I could imagine how pleasant it would be during the other seasons. Deborah & team were very helpful with information about getting to and around the island, among other things. We have already checked the calendar for possibly returning later in the year!

About the host

Hosted by Daufuskie Rental Group Team

Host profile image
Deborah is the owner of the Da Fuskie Dreams House, and is also owner/president of Daufuskie Rental Group representing a variety of island houses, cottages, and villas. She and her 16 year old son, Shawn, are Daufuskie residents. Deborah greatly enjoys sharing this special island with visitors, and works hard to ensure an easy and memorable trip to her guests.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful little house was built just 6 years ago by an Atlanta couple who did an exception job of designing and decorating the home. It is extremely well-constructed and includes many, many extra features. The location is wonderful, and provides a great option for visitors who want to experience the real Daufuskie.

What makes this property unique

Too many extra benefits to list, but they include an extremely quiet and serene wooded setting, a convenient location close to some of the Historic District's most significant sites, easy access to Beach Road, which provides a 5 minute cart ride to the best beach on the island, and a 2-3 minutes ride to the memorable Lucy Bell's Cafe, a short walk to the School Grounds Coffee Shop and to the Church, and a 10 minute cart ride to the Melrose pool. (Daily fees apply.)

Re golfing, we can help you set that up. (Contact owner.)
