Moon River Retreat
A Private Waterfront Retreat on Daufuskie Island
There are places you visit… and places that stay with you. Moon River Retreat is one of those places.
Tucked away on Daufuskie Island and accessible only by boat, Moon River is a private waterfront resort designed for families, friends, and groups of all ages who want to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with each other.
Here, dolphins swim past your dock. Sunsets light up the Savannah skyline. Kids race barefoot down sandy paths. Grandparents linger on porches. Friends gather around firepits.
Mornings are slow. Evenings stretch long. And days are guided by tides instead of notifications.
Each cottage even includes an optional “electronics safe” — a gentle invitation to put phones and tablets in time-out — because the best moments here happen face-to-face. With three beautifully appointed waterfront cottages, a 100-foot private dock, and 3.25 acres of natural beauty, Moon River Retreat offers the rare opportunity to rent an entire island-style resort for your group.
Perfect for family reunions, small destination weddings, yoga retreats, multi-family vacations, milestone celebrations, and once-in-a-lifetime gatherings — or simply time together that feels meaningful again.
This is where generations gather.
This is where stories begin.
This is Moon River Retreat.

We had an incredible stay! The sunsets were absolutely stunning, and having direct dock access made traveling by boat super easy. Our host was fantastic—incredibly friendly, responsive, and so easy to work with. Highly recommend and we will definitely stay here again!
