You will fall in love with Daufuskie Island on your first visit. It is a vacation like no other. The craziness of traffic, tourist and crowded beaches are not our idea of relaxing. Your Daufuskie Island vacation begins when you leave your vehicle on the mainland and board a ferry or private boat for a fun ride over to the Island where you can often see Dolphins. After a short 30-45 minute ride you are so relaxed and ready to kick back and truly enjoy all the nature, quiet beaches, long walks & golf cart rides.

Feel any stress in your life instantly go away with the soft breeze of the ocean air. Tour the island on your golf cart and enjoy the nature and peacefulness. You may see rare birds, alligators, deer, fox squirrels and more!

At a specific point on Daufuskie Island you can see Hilton Head, Savannah and Tybee Island, but those crowded beaches are in the distance as you enjoy a private beautiful beach. If you want to see more of the local living enjoy a meal at the Daufuskie Crab Company, at the Freeport Marina, D'Fuskie's Store Eatery & Bar, On-Deck Diner, at Daufuskie Island Distillery, Frye's Corner, Driftwood Diner or The Sportsman. Visit The Iron Fish, The Community Farm, The Daufuskie Island Distillery (Daufuskie Rum Company), Daufuskie Blues for indigo dying classes and beautiful merch, Boohags, a coastal chic bootique, The Light House at Silver Dew Winery.
In addition to our beautiful beaches, the Melrose Pool is open (seasonal).

There is so much to experience on Daufuskie, and we hope you will enjoy The Captain's Choice and all Daufuskie has to offer as much as we do!

    Our trip was excellent. Despite some rain, we had plenty to enjoy and discover. The home was beautiful and well maintained. The owners were very communicative and helpful. The short walk to the beach was perfect. We will be back!

    An amazing villa for a fantastic 3 night get away. A beautifully decorated villa that was spacious and very clean. Communication was easy and prompt. The screened in porch was my favorite spot to enjoy coffee and start the day on island time.

    We had a great stay here (myself, my wife, 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son). This was a great location, and the villa was very nice. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring the island and eating at the various restaurants. The hosts were kind very good at communicating through VRBO. Highly recommend.

    We absolutely loved our week at Daufuskie!! The Captain’s Choice was perfect for our family. The moment that you enter through the wonderful porch and see the ocean…”I could stay here forever!” The decor is so beautiful, and the villa is very well equipped..from the kitchen..to the beach chairs and toys!! Everything is extremely clean, with many special touches. The communication prior to our visit was immediate and so thoughtful in every aspect of our trip planning. We also enjoyed the Melrose Pool…but the beach is perfect for young children too!! Don’t hesitate to plan your trip…and Captain’s Choice will be your trip ever!!

    This place is probably the most beautiful and clean VRBO we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean! Decorated beautifully, comfortable furniture with everything you could possibly need! The porch was huge and well furnished, a spot for everyone with a fantastic view of the ocean. When it was too dark to see the ocean, you can hear it and feel the ocean breeze. I highly recommend anyone going to Daufuskie, to stay here. Thank you, Terri!
