The character
Haig Point is the Lowcountry with the bridge deliberately left off. It sits on the north end of Daufuskie Island — an island with no road connection to the mainland — so getting there means boarding the community's own private ferry across Calibogue Sound from an embarkation dock near Hilton Head. That single fact shapes everything: no through-traffic, no drop-in tourists, and a pace set by tide tables and ferry schedules rather than highways. Once across, residents get around largely by golf cart, and the island's maritime forest and Sound frontage do the rest.
Inside the gates, life orbits the Haig Point Club — a Rees Jones-designed golf course, an equestrian center, tennis, and a clubhouse — alongside the restored Haig Point Lighthouse, a piece of genuine island history kept on the property. It reads as a small, self-selecting community for people who want privacy and nature over convenience, and who see the ferry ride not as a hurdle but as the point.
Life here

- The restored Haig Point Lighthouse and miles of maritime-forest and Sound frontage
- Deep-water and Calibogue Sound access for boating and fishing
Best for
- Buyers who want a private, nature-first island over a drive-up resort
- Golf, equestrian, and boating households drawn to Daufuskie's seclusion
- Second-home and full-time owners who see ferry-only access as a feature, not a hurdle
Home styles
Lowcountry cottages and custom island estates — deep porches, metal roofs, and tabby-and-clapboard vernacular — set on golf, forest, and Sound-front homesites, most designed for cart-and-ferry island living.

Fees & Assessments
What ownership here actually costs — every figure sourced, dated, and carrying its own confidence tag. This is real, maintained data, not a range we made up.
Last reviewed Jul 24, 2026
$20,745 / year
Reported — confirming Source: Simply Grand Properties — Daufuskie Island HOA / POA Fees (2026 Updated) aggregator guide (not yet Association-confirmed)Base annual assessment per the SGP row, which reads "$20,745 + Membership." A separate Haig Point Club membership applies on top — SGP lists it as $26,944–$32,298, but the CADENCE (annual vs. one-time) is not clear from the source, so it is NOT encoded as a hard figure here. Confirm the assessment-vs-membership split and the membership cadence with the community.

Who pays varies Reported — confirming Source: Simply Grand Properties — Daufuskie Island HOA / POA Fees (2026 Updated)Source lists the amounts but not who pays each; club initiations are typically paid by the incoming buyer. Confirm the transfer-fee formula and initiation at contract.
What the dues include
- Included: Gated security / patrol
- Included: Roads & common areas
- Partial: Amenity access
The community assessment funds the private ferry operation, gated entry, island security, roads, and common areas — the island has no bridge, so the ferry is core infrastructure. Full club amenities (the Rees Jones golf, equestrian center, tennis, and clubhouse) come via the separate, required Haig Point Club membership, so amenity access is only partly in the base assessment.
