Bankruptcy judge approves sale of Daufuskie Island resort By JOSH McCANN jmccann@islandpacket.com A bankruptcy court judge approved the sale of substantially all assets of the bankrupt Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa to a North Carolina company for $49.5 million at a hearing Wednesday in Beaufort. Montauk Resorts' offer was the highest to emerge after a trustee in charge of the estate marketed the property for months. Judge John E. Waites said he feared that if he did not approve Montauk's offer, the resort might be broken up and sold piecemeal, resulting in little benefit to creditors or the community of the sparsely developed, 5,000-acre island that is accessible only by boat. "Frankly, this is what the case is about: Finding some value," Waites said. "This sale had to be seriously considered and will be approved today." The resort includes an inn, two golf courses, tennis courts, several restaurants, an equestrian center and entitlemen...

Excitement is in the air for the purchase of the Daufuskie Island Resort and Inn to close to a new group of investors. The closeing date is somewhere around Thanksgiving so hopefully we can all be thankful to have a nice cozy inn, great restaurants, clean beaches, nice golf courses and places to have fun with our friends and family.

I am sorry that I haven't updated you all in awhile. Please know that the Bloody Point Pool is not open and not in good shape at all it has completely fallen into disrepair. There have been some "potential buyers" of the resort but nothing is official yet. The same goes for the restaurants. Bloody Point Golf Course the beautiful Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish designed course has been closed for play since January. I've been getting some emails from blog readers about events, weddings and stays on the island. If anyone has an event facility and catering company please drop me an email so that I can create a Daufuskie Vending List for my readers. Please take a look at the Front Porch News link for more frequent updates on events and happenings around the island.

Limited food service by the pool.I think it's "wishful thinking" to say the restaurants and the pool amenities are going to be back to normal soon. As a resident, I think it'll be months before our little paradise is back. This is in the comment section under my post but I wanted everyone to see it. Thanks to all the islanders for their opinions and comments. That is what makes blogging so much fun. We get different opinions and perspectives on the same issue. June 17, 2009 8:27 AM
