여행 팁

관습과 문화

Be flexible

Daufuskie has a very small population. All businesses on the island are relatively small and operated by island locals. Hours of operations may change based on the time of year, island events, or personal matters. Our businesses do their best to operate in the hours they market, but things happen. Feel free to reach out to me if there is a specific need or issue!
관습과 문화

Cash vs Card

All island businesses accept both cash and card; not need to worry about bringing cash only.

Food Items

Daufuskie does have limited food options. The Daufuskie Crab Company is open seven days a week, 11:30 - 8:00. D'fuskies Store and Eatery is open every day except Wedneday, however they close at 5:00 on Sundays-Tuesdays. There is no option for breakfast. I would recommend bringing any food you plan to eat. The general stores are limited in what they offer, but do have emergency items if needed.

Vacationing on Daufuskie

Things are a bit different on Daufuskie Island. The island is remote, and only accessible by boat. Please be aware of this when visiting. If there is a strong storm, or a tree hits a power line, we could lose power. Which may take hours before workers can get over. If internet goes out, it may be a few days before the provider can get to the island. I do my best to resolve issues as quickly as possible, but sometimes things are outside of my control. Daufuskie is different, which is what makes it so wonderful. Please remember this when visiting.
