About this venue
Moon River Retreat embraces the slower, natural rhythm of Daufuskie Island. Here, there are no traffic lights, no chain stores, and absolutely no rush. Guests of all ages—from young families to couples in their 80s—fall deeply in love with the estate’s simplicity. Surrounded by cinematic sunrises, gentle ocean breezes, and ancient oaks, our coastal sanctuary features a private dock where dolphins surface daily and fishing is excellent. Moon River Retreat isn’t just a beautiful place to stay; it’s an invitation to slow down and rediscover life's most meaningful moments.
