In 1872, construction commenced on the Lighthouse that would guide captains navigating the shifting shoals of Calibogue Sound. The Lighthouse’s 40-foot tower served mariners traveling around the northern tip of Daufuskie between 1873 to the 1930s. After many years passed with no attention to the structure, the Lighthouse was restored in the 1980s after development began at Haig Point.

As the legend goes, a young maiden named Maggie lived in the Lighthouse with her family in the late 19th century. Her father, Patrick Comer, was the first lighthouse keeper, along with his wife, Bridget. The family moved to Daufuskie in 1873 and tended to the structure for the first 18 years. Maggie fell in love with a naval engineer who was tasked with refitting the Lighthouse's lantern room. Notes from his diary revealed that the pair had quickly fallen in love, but something happened unexpectedly and the couple split. He left and never returned to Daufuskie Island, leaving her with a broken heart. Haig Point residents and visitors have claimed they felt the friendly presence of Maggie.

While it serves as a guesthouse with two bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and porch overlooking Calibogue Sound, the Lighthouse is also a sought-after venue for weddings, special events and private parties.

  Great location close to The Mansion. Beautiful water views. Watched dolphins from the porch. Dogs allowed so we brought our Rottweiler. Historic (old) for sure with peeling paint and windows that don’t open. No coffee pot, but has a keurig. Really squeaky beds 😲
  Glad we stayed here while our home is being built. Stay here if you have a dog or are a historic lighthouse fan. Otherwise, for the cost, go with a members home rental or The Mansion rooms.

  Our stay at the lighthouse was too brief, at just two nights, but it was still a perfect getaway. It's so peaceful and quiet, you can hear the water from your bedroom. We had everything we needed for a cozy and comfortable stay while still being delighted with the historic furnishings and touches throughout. A truly unique experience that we cannot recommend enough.

  My wife and I enjoyed our first stay ever at the Lighthouse, after two years of membership. The first floor was perfect for hanging on the porch, cooking with a full kitchen, or chilling watching golf on TV in the living room. The second floor, while spacious, has a few issues: 1) the windows, presumably to retain the lighthouse as a landmark, appear to be original and taped shut without screens. That wouldn’t be an issue except the air conditioning system only has one zone, the thermostat is on the first floor and the air doesn’t circulate well upstairs, so it got hot, and in trying to adjust the temp the first floor got chilly. The other issue is we were there with another couple and our bedroom (The Blodgett) had a bed that was extremely loud. Even shifting weight and rolling over made a loud sound. Would recommend replacing that bed. it goes without saying given our guests were behind the wall behind us, we had to “behave”. LOL. But overall, very cool experience, but next time I’ll book the mansion or a different home.

  If you’re a lover of lighthouses this is a must do experience! Staying in the lighthouse is a step back in history with some modern conveniences. Clean comfortable accommodations, everyone we encountered was pleasant and helpful. Experiencing the island on a golf cart and enjoying the peace and quiet is incredible!

  We spent Christmas at the Lighthouse. It was by far the most romantic Christmas we have ever had. The place was clean and very cozy it was unusually cold this year, so we spent most of our time inside, and it was like going back in history. Maria Sawyer set everything up for us, including the ferry to and from the island lunch at the Links on Christmas day, and the taxi boat over. There was a problem with the water taxi schedule and our reservation because of the adjusted hours for the holiday Maria called and had it fixed within ten minutes, and she was on vacation with her family, unbelievable service. I can't wait to visit again.

  The setting for the lighthouse is spectacular with gorgeous views of the sound. It's a working lighthouse with the light shining at night. Beautiful. However--the bathrooms are very, very old. And they leak. We had water pouring out of the downstairs hall wall. Maintenance came over twice-first told us to not use the toilet in the one bathroom. Second time told us to not use the bathroom at all. Meaning we had to shower in this ancient claw tub. The leaking still didn't stop and we set up a buffer of towels to keep the floor somewhat dry. Rain on Sunday cause roof leaks into the living room.

  The Lighthouse had some historic charm to it, but it could use some TLC, particularly the bathrooms and showers. Also the furnishings were inadequate -- very few comfortable chairs in the LR and the TVs worked poorly. The highlight was thecharming front porch with the great view of Calibogue Sound, but again, the seating and decor were very....tired. Not what we were expecting from Haig Point!

  a guest from Austin, TX recommends this vacation rental

  The lighthouse itself is charming and well-equipped, but there were little details off that you would expect to be better in a rental of this caliber and cost. We climbed the tower of the lighthouse and it was filthy, and the bedding and some bath linens were old and torn. The location in the Haig Point golf community wasn't ideal for us because we don't golf and the restaurants were not to our liking. It also took a good amount of our golf cart battery just to get out of the community so we didn't really feel like we could explore the rest of the island. The management was very friendly most of the time but the rental felt very much an afterthought and their main business was selling residences at the golf community. Because they are more accustomed to dealing with residents than renters I think they assumed we knew many things and acted surprised when we asked questions about how things worked. It would have been nice if there was more clarity about the food/dining situation before we went.

  We were looking for a romantic, quiet weekend getaway this January, and our stay in the historic lighthouse exceeded any of our expectations. It was enjoyable initially to leave our car on the mainland and decompress on the ferry ride to Daufuskie Island. Immediately when you see the lighthouse, you are captivated by its charm. The inside was immaculately clean and the decor perfectly captured the historic time period. We spent afternoons in the rocking chairs on the front porch with a glass of wine, watching the dolphin pods frolic in the sound. One morning after brunch we drove our appointed golf cart around the entire island, drinking in the rich history and capturing some beautiful photographs. In addition we had two delicious dinners at the Calibogue Beach Club, enhanced by the highly professional and meticulous service of the host and servers. When Sunday departure time rolled around, I must admit we were really disappointed to leave such a remarkable weekend behind, but we left with many memories and a promise to return to the lighthouse.

  A weekend in a Lighthouse what could be better? Nothing. This Lighthouse is located right on a point address from Harbour Town. Fantastic trade winds blowing through open windows make for am amazing experience. Add in a little bit of "haunted" history and mouthwatering food and it is a recipe for a one of kind stay. We loved it.
