PLEASE NOTE: Concerned about how to get to our bridgeless island? Daufuskie Rental Group is here to help you with the logistics of booking your passenger only ferry/water taxi, ground transportation shuttle from the dock to your rental, and additional golf cart rental? (Fees Apply)
A 4-passenger golf cart is included with your stay!

The Neighborhood:
The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. The resort is the home of a Great White Egret rookery, where you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. A nest of American Bald Eagles can be found behind the inn, and now and then vigilant visitors can actually catch sight of a Loggerhead Turtle coming ashore to lay hundreds of eggs in the soft sand.
1) Daufuskie Rental Group makes a good faith effort to describe island amenities, including restaurants and pools. However, please note that we are not responsible for the availability of amenities that we do not operate and that are beyond our control.

Our vacation cottages are in well-maintained areas and continue to be extremely popular.

We wanted a beach vacation that allowed us to see kids home from college and meet a new girlfriend for the first time. This home was one of the most beautiful rentals we have stayed in at any beach, cozy and chill. The layout with the screened in porches, oversized swing and enough TVs to allow people to spread out. Having beach equipment made it even better.
We were blown away by this property. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need to prepare your family meals. We loved the two porches and spent lots of time in the swinging bed. The pictures do not do this place justice. The bathrooms were great and the beds were all comfy. This is our third trip to the island and we plan on staying at the Pelican’s Perch again in the future.
The property was very nice and clean. We loved the back porch especially and having the golf cart to ride around on the island. I would like to mention that the living room fan wall switch should be labeled similar to the other wall switches. Also, the tv remotes were a little confusing as to which one to use for tv vs. cable box, specifically in the master bedroom. But overall we had an awesome time and plan to come back as soon as possible!
