2 Bedroom Villa in Melrose on the Beach, Daufuskie Island

107D Sea Salt Villa, Located on the second floor (there's no elevator), we do provide a Beach Butler for your luggage & groceries only.
Welcome to the "Sea Salt Villa"! We know you will fall in love with Daufuskie Island and will never want to leave. You will experience the most fabulous vacation in your own private paradise nestled right next to a quiet stretch of pristine and beautiful beach. Our cozy Villa is located in the Melrose area among large oak trees with gorgeous hanging Spanish moss. We love living in such a peaceful, shady area so close to the beach. What is better than sitting in a rocking chair or chaise lounge on the large shaded porch after a sunny day at the beach enjoying the sounds of the birds and beautiful scenery with a cold drink in your hand? Take a golf cart ride at dusk and you will encounter deer playing in the grassy golf course and wooded areas. Stroll the beach at low tide and you can walk for what seems like a mile into the Atlantic Ocean. From the beach you can see the southern tip of Hilton Head Island to the left and Tybee Island to the right.
This second-floor west view villa features an open floor plan with bamboo wood flooring in the living area, kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is equipped with all stainless appliances and an eat-in breakfast bar. It is also very well stocked with cookware and tools so you can enjoy home-cooked meals any time you want. Offers the choice of drip coffee or Keurig. The living room features sitting areas, a flat screen TV, comfortable convertible sofa/bed and access to your private screened porch overlooking the golf course and wilderness. The lengthy screened porch is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or early evening cocktail while taking in the natural beauty and sounds of the Island and the sunset. The master bedroom is spacious with king bed, sitting area, refrigerator, microwave, TV and separate access to the porch. It also has a large master bathroom equipped with separate sinks, large shower and a spa tub for the upmost relaxation. The guest bedroom has two queen beds, separate access to the screened porch, TV, microwave, and a connected spacious bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower. We also provide two bikes which come with the rental.
Remember there is "NO BRIDGE" to Daufuskie Island (and we like it that way). Your adventure would start with choice of private water taxi or public ferry transport to the Island from Bluffton, SC. Private transportation by water taxi can be booked with May River Excursions at www.mayriverexcursions.com ). This is a private boat with a 30-minute ride, $10 overnight parking and unlimited luggage. Cost is $50 per person (3-person minimum), round trip. You can also book with the public ferry, Daufuskie Ferry Company, which is a 45-minute ride. Cost is $65 per person, round trip. There is a $10 fee for daily parking and a transport fee of $10 or $20 for your luggage and groceries (depending on how much you bring). Both embark out of Bluffton, SC. We will meet you on the island when you arrive at the dock, help load your luggage and groceries, and take you to your villa. Transportation on the island back to the ferry dock at the end of your stay is also provided. You will need to rent a golf cart once on the island (we will provide information for rentals). The island is small enough to easily get around with either type of transportation, but we recommend golf cart rental to move around the island quicker (plus it is more economical and carries your goodies you will collect in your island adventure). Groceries are very limited on the Island, although we are happy to announce that we now have a small grocery store (D’Fuskie’s Store & Eatery, with many food items available. It is recommended you plan your meals and bring your main groceries on the ferry or call Bayard to place your grocery needs. Pizza & Cold/Hot sandwiches are also available, Thursday-Tuesday 11am-8pm.
There are many things to do on the island. Visit the Daufuskie Community Farm (open daily 11-4pm) where everyone is encouraged to help feed the animals. Your round of golf can be played (for a separate fee) at the private community of Haig Point, located on the north end of the island. Horseback riding rentals are available through Haig Point and Marsh Tacky Equestrian for beach and trail rides. If you want to taste the unique flavors of rum, bourbon or vodka distilled right here on the island, visit the Daufuskie Island Rum Company and take some home or back to your villa to enjoy. You can visit the Lighthouse which is home to the Silver Dew Winery.
The restaurants on the island are unique & colorful! Daufuskie Crab Company (located right on the water near the ferry dock) serves lunch & dinner 11am-8pm with a Caribbean atmosphere! They host live bands in the peak season (May through September) on Saturdays and Sundays. School Grounds Coffee Shop is the perfect place to start your day or boost your afternoon - open daily 9pm-4pm.
Take time to explore the Island, relax, rejuvenate your mind and soul, and most of all, enjoy our little piece of Heaven called the Sea Salt Villa. We know you will want to come here again as soon as you leave!

Summary: Decided to give Daufuskie Island a try as something different for a long beach weekend. Everyone (adults and kids) had a good time.

Summary: The listing was exactly as pictured and very close to the beach. The beach was not crowded at all. We did bring our own food due to the limited options on the island, but they had all the appliances and cooking items we needed already there. We got to spend time on the beach and get all the rest we needed :)

Summary: One of the best vacations we’ve ever been on. Susan was an amazing host and easy to reach any time. Daufuskie is such a wonderful place to vacation. You feel like you are on a private island. We went in the middle of June and most days, had the beach all to ourselves. The condo was amazing and plenty space for our family of 6. We got fresh seafood from a local fisherman and had everything we needed in the kitchen to make a great meal. We will definitely be back, probably every year. I highly recommend this wonderful place and ppl to anyone looking for something different.

Summary: This property was exactly as described. This is not our first visit so we had a better idea of how to pack this time! The condo is very well equipped with seasonings and cookware. The amenities were awesome and the porch is where we spent most of our time. It is HUGE! It was me, my husband and step son (10). There are plenty of things to do on the island that kept the 10 year old entertained. We were so happy to see all of the restaurants are back and the pool at Melrose open! Susan is great too! We love seeing her! Yes, there are stairs... the stairwell has excellent lighting and is very clean. We did not find it cumbersome in any way. There is a lift that you load all of your luggage/beach gear - which was awesome! We can't wait to go back!

Summary: This home is actually even better in person than in the pictures. It was immaculate and spacious. We have three teenagers and a toddler. There was room for everyone, and they all loved hanging out on the beautiful porch. Susan is a wonderful host, who sought to make sure all of our needs were met!

Summary: This was our first trip to Daufuski and we very much enjoyed our trip. The condo was lovely, the two bedrooms and main kitchen/living area were very nicely furnished. The kitchen was well stocked so we had what we need to cook. The porch off the back was the best and the whole family spent quite a bit of our downtime hanging out there. Susan did a great job on the transportation to/from the ferry and she bailed us out when our golf cart got a flat tire. Staying on Daufuski was a different experience for sure, stock up on groceries to bring with you and plan to just go with the flow as restaurants and activities have varying times when they are open. We enjoyed the use of the Melrose pool for one day but mostly just spent time on the beaches. We would love to go back some day.

Summary: We had the best week on Daufuskie! The villa is lovely, perfectly decorated for the area and with comfort in mind. There are touches that make it homey while still feeling like you are on vacation. Having my coffee or wine out on the screened porch while looking out watching the egrets was one of my favorite things. My kids loved the villa as well, finding “their” bedroom to be comfortable and roomy. They loved the board games and puzzles! The beach is an easy walk or quick golf cart ride and so incredibly peaceful. The island is magical with welcoming, gracious locals who are happy to share tips and island history. Everything on the island is dog friendly which is so cool. And it was wonderful that the villa itself was pet friendly so my 15 year old girl could come with us. I fell in love with just about everything on the island and never wanted to leave. We are already planning our next trip! Thank you for the hospitality!
