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, Daufuskie Island Distillery, the Daufuskie Community Farm, Wine and Woodworks, Silver Dew Winery, Daufuskie History Museum, Roost Family Farm, 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.
