The Evan Cottage

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, The Rum Distillery, the Daufuskie Community Farm, Wine and Woodworks, 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.

We stayed just two nights. We didn’t cook or do laundry. When we visit the Island again, we would definitely stay at this location again and bring groceries to cook out. Being our first time on the Island we decided to support local places for dining.

Great couples stay!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Evan’s Cottage on School Rd. It was just enough space and nicely furnished. Everything was clean and nicely decorated. I greatly appreciated the washer and dryer. We took our morning coffee on the front porch in the cool. Perfect stop for couples! We will stay again. Highly recommended.

Fantastic!!!

The Evan Cottage was everything we needed it to be. It was very affordable and on the center of the island, which was great. The front porch was my favorite place to spend time under the ceiling fan, staying cool while enjoying the nature of the island.

Cabin in the woods of Daufuskie

My wife and I had a good time during an anniversary stay at the Evans Cottage. It was well stocked and located amongst a few other homes on a dirt road on Daufuskie Island. It was small, but roomy enough for the 2 of us. We easily travelled around the island with a golf cart. The kitchen was good for preparing some meals in house. The decor was adequate with a few items left undone like an empty light fixture in the main living space. The manager was very response and kept us up to date on an unforeseen change the day of check-in.

Perfect for our little family

This was our second time staying at the Evan Cottage and it was yet again perfect for our little family of 4. It is the coziest little home away from home and we can’t recommend it enough! Listing is very accurate, and although we didn’t have to reach out to the owners beforehand or while there, we know it would’ve been easy to get ahold of them if needed. Overall, very pleased with our experience yet again!
