Lost your dog? Are you in need of a golf cart, or piece of furniture, or looking sell or buy one but would rather not deal with barge and delivery costs involved in getting it here?

Daufuskie's natural beauty and rich history have been the inspiration for many artist, writers and tourists. Without a bridge to the mainland, Daufuskie is accessible only by passenger ferry or private boat.

When summer strikes Daufuskie, visitors come from all over to see all the island has to offer. And this summer, tourists and islanders will have a new way to experience the island’s beautiful beaches and unique Gullah culture. The Palmetto Trust for Historic Preservation, South Carolina’s statewide organization interested in protecting, preserving and advocating for our state’s historic structures, is launching its Daufuskie Endangered Places Program, which will introduce tourists to Gullah history and roots while preserving some of Daufuskie Island’s most significant home places. How does the Daufuskie Endangered Places Program work? Palmetto Trust for Historic Preservation has partnered with descendants of original Gullah families who have owned these homes for generations. The Trust then leases the homes from the owners, rehabilitates the homes in a manner that respects the historic integrity of the structure, then rents the home to travelers who want to
