Guest Access:
A secluded ocean beach is steps away from your cottage, and many of our visitors especially enjoying visiting during nesting season of the endangered Loggerhead Turtles.

With both ocean and marsh views, your cottage offers the best of both worlds, and provides a private setting perfect for a family vacation, a reunion of good friends, or a special event.

Our island is also great for bikes and old-fashioned walking.

When you rent this cottage, you will find a true island sanctuary located on a low-country coastal island known for its abundant wildlife, pristine beaches, friendly people, and rich cultural history.

The Neighborhood:
The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. The resort is the home of a Great White Egret rookery, where you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. A nest of American Bald Eagles can be found behind the inn, and now and then vigilant visitors can actually catch sight of a Loggerhead Turtle coming ashore to lay hundreds of eggs in the soft sand.

Getting Around:
This is a bridge-less island and you will need to book a passenger only ferry and ground transportation from the dock to rental and rent a golf cart to explore the island.

Other Things to Note:
PET POLICY:

Well-behaved canine family members are welcome, but must be adult dogs, housetrained, must stay off of furniture, not be incessant barkers, and must be friendly towards humans and other dogs. Upon departure, the vacation home should look as though no pet had been in it, including removal of pet hair. There is a pet fee of $125 for one dog, and $175 for two dogs.

In addition, the property manager must approve all pet requests. Your dog must be over one year old, not be aggressive towards people or other pets, be house trained, will not get up on the furniture, and is ok with being left alone when you are away from the cottage (e.g., no incessant barking or destructive behavior). We also ask that you be a responsible pet owner when the dog is outside, that there will be no signs that your pet was in the property when you depart, and that you will be responsible for any damage and/or extra cleaning caused by your dog.

Interaction with Guests:
Concerned about the logistics of coming to a bridge-less island? No need to worry! Guests receive information and assistance from the DRG team, all of whom live on the island and who are available 24/7 for any problems. Team members strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable adventure for their visitors, and to ensure that their Daufuskie experience creates lasting and once-in-a-lifetime memories.

Daufuskie was beautiful and peaceful. This is a great get away if you just want to relax and caught.

The only bad experience with this property was the owner controlled the AC. It was too warm at night. For sports on TV you had to have a personal password.

Fantastic Get Away in Lockdown

We really needed a getaway after months of lockdown, but also wanted to be super safe. This gem on Daufuskie Island was perfect! Deb, the manager was very attentive to our every need, even bringing us fresh baked bread. I was a little nervous about access to groceries, but the system of ordering from the Bluffton was easy, and a wonderful local chef named Ernestine will whip up tasty low country feasts! It really is a magical place, no crowds, a pristine beach, a quiet pool, and the perfect spot for some r&r.

Never disappoints

In general, Daufuskie is hands down the place to go for rest and relaxation. Not only was it the perfect place to escape the craziness currently, but offers beauty and serenity like no other place. The house was everything we needed (and more)! Clean, thoughtfully decorated and Deborah was fantastic to work with! Highly recommend.

Relaxing Family Time

Great property and responsive management. We loved the size (plenty of space for our family of 4). Nice amenities including plenty of beach chairs, glassware and cookware. Kids loved roku tv. Not on the beachfront but very very close and easy access. Having Melrose pool was also nice. We would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Deborah was quick to respond to every question and request before and during our stay. I’ve never had a more helpful person to deal with. Our house was perfect for our family of 7 and we had a fabulous time exploring this beautiful and unique island. Would love to return.

Relaxing family get away

We were looking for a safe place to visit during Covid with fewer people and we found the perfect place. The Melrose Beach had plenty of room to social distance and our dog was able to join us - her first trip to the ocean! This won't be our last trip to Daufuskie Island and we are already planning our next visit. Knowing now how the ferry ride and shuttle to the house work, it will be even more relaxing. We packed all our food for the week and all was easily and efficiently transported. Deborah and her team were so patient with questions before our arrival and so hospitable to us while we were there. Some of our outings included golf cart rides, horseback riding, kayak tour, paddle boarding and shopping with the local artists. While the Melrose Club being close by and abandoned is a bit different, the slow pace and lack of crowds makes Melrose Beach and Daufuskie Island a very special place.

We enjoyed our stay so much. Long days at the beach, but could go back to the house easily for whatever we needed. Great for our kids, we rented bikes and they were off to explore. Definitely wasn't ready to leave.

Really liked this property!

We visited Daufuskie with some family and friends. Though spread across several houses, this house was our favorite. Three bedrooms not easy to find. Dog friendly was helpful. The kitchen was very well appointed (better than most). The back porch is very large / accommodating - we grilled several nights though we didn't spend a lot of time in the back (except where screened in) because of bugs (backs up to some woods/marsh). The property manager Deb was extremely helpful! Everything worked very well - so we had no issues / but Deb was very available and helpful with our few random questions/requests. I would definitely come back and hope to do so soon. I almost hesitate to provide this review for fear of others discovering and the property being booked next time :)

Relax on Island Time

This is the third time we have been to the island and the third time we have stayed at this house. Home is very comfortable and has everything you need for an enjoyable vacation. Deborah and Karen, DRG, are very helpful and accommodating. If you want to get away and just relax this is the place to go! See you next year!

A wonderful and relaxing place.

The home and the island were perfect. If your looking to get away from it all on a quiet beach, it doesn't get better than this. The home is comfortable and well appointed. Deborah is a great host and manager. This is the second year we have rented a house from Deborah and will be back again!

Wonderful Cottage, Great Location, Terrific Trip

What a unique and fantastic place for a vacation. We loved Daufuskie, and could not have had a better place to stay than this cottage. We arranged for an early arrival and check-in, and Deborah communicated well with us before arrival, and met us at the cottage upon our arrival. She took the right amount of time to review everything we needed to know, before leaving us to enjoy our stay on the island. We had a couple of small questions during our stay, and a text message to Deborah was always met with a quick response, and useful information. Daufuskie is not for everyone, but our family enjoyed the quiet, the relatively uninhabited beaches, and the freedom to explore. The golf cart that came with this rental was also perfect, and we racked up some good miles as we explored nearly everywhere. Do your homework before deciding to go to Daufuskie, as it is not a resort island, nor does it have a lot of amenities. It is beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and a terrific place if you enjoy exploring and experiencing something different than your typical vacation destination. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Thank you!

Daufuskie was unique and charming

We fell in love with Daufuskie. It was not love at first sight, but we quickly fell for it. First I'll say a bit about Deborah and her team. Deborah was out of town the week we rented so we did not meet her in person though she was very helpful beforehand. Our interactions were with Karen and she had a truly positive impact on our stay. Karen went out of her way on multiple occasions to assist us with various things. Rarely, if ever, have I had a property manager show the sort of kindness and service oriented attitude that Karen did. I would rent from Deborah and Karen again in a heartbeat! The house itself was really great four our family of 6. The furnishings surpassed what we expected. I was not too excited about it being a duplex but you know what, you couldn't even tell. I think we saw the guests on the other side 2 times in an entire week. The way the house is shaped your porches have totally privacy from one another. Speaking of the porch, that back porch was incredible. It's screened in with a comfy couch and ceiling fans. We fell asleep so many nights on that couch reading and listening to the insects chirping, so peaceful! The extended deck was also great and we enjoyed grilling out on the gas grill several nights. The kitchen was great and well stocked, the bedrooms and bathrooms were all great as well. There were ample beach toys, umbrella, chairs, etc. We never felt like we needed anything else. Lastly, Daufuskie itself was really peaceful. The beaches were mostly empty and it was so quiet without any background noise from cars or roads. If you're looking for lots of fun things to do, Daufuskie is not for you. If you want to actually relax and have nothing to do except long walks, golf cart rides, naps, board games with the family, etc. then Daufuskie is perfect! If you're a runner, Daufuskie has some great running options, we also did some paddle boarding out to the disappearing sand bar Island and over to Hilton Head as well. You can find a few adventurous things but it's mostly relaxing. The neighborhood this house is located in, Melrose, has some abandoned buildings but also signs of work being done. When we were there in late July it looked like they were about a week away from reopening the pool and a restaurant at the beach club. That would be a really nice option to have and it's about a 3 min walk away. Overall this house was wonderful, I highly recommend it!

Relaxing and Peaceful

We very much enjoyed our weeklong stay on Dafuskie. The house is well maintained and very clean. Deborah and DRG are available to answer questions and help with any situation at any time. This is our second time staying in the island. The weather was great - it does get hot during the middle of the day but there is always a breeze at the beach and a lot of shade on the island and in Melrose. By about 4 pm it begins to cool down and you can feel the breeze coming across the island. We rode around the island on the golf cart, played on the beach, ate at Lucy Belles (delicious), and had coffee at the coffee shop. We also took a day trip to Savannah via boat - but most of all we relaxed and enjoyed each day! We will be back!

House was great.

Loved the property but there were too many people involved in reservation process (3). None of them seemed to be communicating with the others resulting in one of them texting me the night before (11:30pm) asking for a phone number that at least two of them had been given. Other than administration we loved the place and the whole Daufuskie experience.

Exceptionally well appointed and one of the best houses on the island!

We booked this beautiful house for a long weekend for my mom's birthday. The three bedrooms were ample in size and beautifully decorated, as was the entire house. A screened porch, huge back deck with gas grill, and a hammock in the backyard were a highlight. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. Deborah greeted us when we arrived at the house and gave the most thorough and detailed run of the island. She prepared us well for all there is to do and see on this amazingly rustic and gorgeous island! The golf cart ( seating for 6) is the icing on the cake! Super quite and fun! Beach chairs/ beach umbrellas/ beach toys for kids. She thought of everything! We will be back 😍
