The Neighborhood:
We imagine you will find yourself strolling from your cottage to the beach over and over. This beautiful beach is perfect for long walks, jogging, and even bike riding. Families especially enjoy the relatively calm waters where children can swim and play without fear of a strong undertow. It’s a great beach for building sand castles and hunting for shells and sand dollars after the tide goes out.

Folks also enjoy touring the island by golf cart, by bicycle, and by simply taking nice long walks.

The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. Melrose is the home of a Great White Egret rookery, and at certain times of the year you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. Nests of American Bald Eagles can sometimes be found nearby, and now and then vigilant visitors can actually catch site of a Loggerhead Turtle coming ashore to lay hundreds of eggs in the soft sand.

Getting Around:
You will want to spend time exploring the rest of this unique and special island. Accessible only by ferry, water taxi, and private boat, Daufuskie Rental Group we will help with your arrangements. Daufuskie's isolation from the hustle and bustle of the mainland provides a one-of-its-kind experience for those looking to truly get away from it all. You won't find a friendlier place, and one of the best things about visiting this island is getting to know the local folks, and its diverse and interesting culture.

IMPORTANT: Please note that it is necessary to take a boat to Daufuskie Island. Costs vary depending on the service you choose for a passenger only boat, ground transportation shuttle from dock to rental and golf cart rental.

Other Things to Note:
Please note that a well-behaved canine member of the family will be considered, although there is a pet fee. Manager must review pet requests. See the end of this description for our complete pet policy.**

** PET POLICY:

We will accept a well-behaved canine member of the family if approved by the property manager. However, the dog must be over one year old, not be aggressive towards people or other pets, be house trained, does not get up on the furniture, and is ok with being left alone when you are away from the cottage (no incessant barking or destructive behavior). We require that you will be a responsible pet owner when the dog is outside, that your dog is always kept on a leash, is up-to-date on flea and heart worm treatment and...most importantly...that there will be no signs that your pet was in the property when you depart. You must be responsible for any damage and/or extra cleaning caused by your dog. There is a nonrefundable pet fee of $125 for one dog; $175 for two dogs.

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.

Charming Beach Cottage

This beachfront home is a find! It is exactly as pictured. Steps from the beach, with a great front porch overlooking the ocean. Everything is in great condition - linens, towels, furniture… The property management was very responsive and provided great information about groceries, ferry and land transportation. Will definitely come back.

Paradise away from home

The Beachcomber was very comfortable and up-dated. We enjoyed the porch overlooking the ocean with two ceiling fans. We spent much of our time relaxing and enjoying the scenery. This was our second trip to Daufuskie Island and we plan to return next year. The accommodations were as described. A great place to spend a week for relaxation and being in touch with nature.

First time on Dafuski

My friends and I were so lucky to get this property!!! The home is spotless, beautiful and the ocean is right out the back door. If we weren’t on the beach we were on the back porch. The beach is perfect! No crowds, no stress! The low tide would be amazing for children to run and play. We explored the island some but it was hard to tear ourselves away from the property. If you get the chance - GO! We will definitely go back!!!

Great spot on a beach to yourself or with your pups!

The house is truly steps from the beach with some great trees for Enos! We spent several afternoons swaying in the ocean breezes and napping to the sound of the surf. We loved long walks with the company of our dogs playing in the surf and chasing the birds. Sitting on the beach with only a few other families and seeing crowded Hilton Head across the horizon sharing the same surf was delightful. The house itself was just the right-size with 3 teen boys! The island makes you slow-down and enjoy time together. We’ve fallen in love with Daufuskie!

Wonderful Historical Place

My husband and I traveled to Daufuskie Island for the first time. The ferry ride was wonderful and they know their stuff! Our cottage was beautiful with a view to match. Let me first compliment Deborah Smith for her assistance and excellent overview of the cottage, island, things to see, and generally anything we needed to know!! The cottage was clean and comfy. People on the island were really wonderful, from the transportation people to the golf cart people and anyone else who wanted to make sure we had a wonderful first trip to the island. The two restaurants were great-I must really call out Lucy Bell's for their mouthwatering food and kind manner. I must really suggest going to Daufuskie Blues, School Grounds, and the rum distillery. We still didn't get to see everything I wanted, but that is what second, third, fourth, etc. trips are for. Can't want to come back. Go to Daufuskie Island - it is great!!!

Perfect relaxing getaway

Our family of four came to Daufuskie for Thanksgiving and really enjoyed our time. We didn’t leave the house on Thursday with bad weather, but the house was perfect for lounging around and cooking our Thanksgiving meal. The rest of the weekend we got out and enjoyed the beach and the use of the golf cart and explored the island. Our dog got to join us and he loved it as well.

Host profile image
From the Owner: I am a real estate broker and have always loved Daufuskie Island. My office is on Hilton Head Island, which is just a short ferry ride away. My husband is an architect. We have a small dog, and two grandchildren who absolutely love coming to the Cottage.

From Daufuskie Rental Group: The cottage is managed by Daufuskie Rental Group, known for superior service to rental guests. From the moment you make your reservation to your last moment on the island, we will work hard to make coming to our island an easy experience, and then to provide you with a memorable vacation once you are here.. Your property managers live on Daufuskie full-time, and are available to be of assistance on a 24/7 basis.


Why they chose this property

From the Owner: When I go to Daufuskie Island, it is a vacation. All the stress leaves me as I walk on the secluded beach, watch the wildlife and enjoy what life is really all about...beauty and peace. You will see egrets, fox squirrels, deer and dolphin....all from the spacious front porch.

From Daufuskie Rental Group: We enjoy managing this charming cottage with its perfect ocean-front location.

What makes this property unique

From the Owner: The unique benefits are what we don't have. We don't have cars, congestion, noise, tourism or crowds. We do have beautiful beaches, friendly island people who wave as they go by in their golf cart, quiet, beauty of nature. If you want to go to the busy island, Hilton Head, it is just a short ferry ride away.

From Daufuskie Rental Group: Aside from the charms of this cottage, we are happy that the owner allows well-behaved canine family members to join in the vacation fun. (Pet fees apply.)
