Guest Access:
1) Daufuskie Rental Group makes a good faith effort to describe island amenities, including restaurants and pools. However, please note that we are not responsible for the availability of amenities that we do not operate and that are beyond our control. Please contact the vendors directly for rates, days and hours of operation.
2) Your rental agreement contract's cancellation policy states that we are not responsible for events that are beyond our control, such as hurricanes. We strongly encourage our guests to purchase travel insurance, and especially recommend "cancel for any reason" policies. (These must be purchased shortly after your reservation is made.)
3) Please note that because the Melrose Resort is in transition, our Melrose guests may notice a certain level of deterioration in the resort-owned buildings but will also see that renovation efforts are now underway. Our vacation cottages are in well-maintained areas and continue to be extremely popular.
The Melrose beach is mere steps away from the SeasideCottage.
The Neighborhood:
THE ISLAND
Most of our visitors also take time to get to know the rest of this special island. Those who do quickly realize that they have discovered a hidden island gem just a short boat ride from the mainland. Quiet, laid-back, and unique, beautiful Daufuskie is described by old-timers as similar to Hilton Head before a bridge connected that island with the mainland. (Daufuskie's unofficial slogan is 'No Bridge? No Problem!')
When you choose this cottage for your vacation, you will find a perfect setting to experience a lovely low country island with a centuries-old cultural history, beautiful beaches, spectacular wildlife, and friendly residents.
The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. You will be close to the site of a Great White Egret and Wood Storks rookery, where you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. A nest of American Bald Eagles can occasionally be spotted, 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:
IMPORTANT: DAUFUSKIE ISLAND HAS NO BRIDGE, AND IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE A FERRY OR WATER TAXI TO GET HERE. YOU WILL LEAVE YOUR CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE AND RENT A GOLF CART TO GET AROUND THE ISLAND.
Other Things to Note:
It is necessary to take a ferry or water taxi to Daufuskie Island, which is located between Hilton Head SC and Savannah, GA. We will be happy to help with trip preparations!
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.
Interaction with Guests:
Managed by Daufuskie Rental Group, an on-island team of professionals dedicated to sharing the island dream with visitors.
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.

Summary: This was the nicest little vaca. We enjoyed the beach and the island. The folks are so friendly and dog friendly! The cottage was so cute and the location was great! Very comfy and cozy! Everyone made arrangements easy from the ferry over to the island to the golf cart rental. Transport from cottage to dock was not up to par.

Summary: This was our first time on Daufuskie Island and it did not disappoint! There were a lot of pieces to put together in order to ensure we had a successful vacation but every step of the way someone was available and willing to help us with any questions we had or suggestions for us! Pay attention to all the information you receive. There are a lot of instructions to follow, times to take note of, schedules to adhere to, and packing to be done but trust me they told me everything to consider along the way, and had I not done so our vacation would not have been nice as it was! We fell in love with this island, the beach, the trees, the quietness, the people everything about it. Our home was very comfortable and in a great location! Even after exploring the entire island, I think I would still choose to come back to these rentals. I loved being steps away from the beach. I loved the outdoor shower to rinse off sand too! There are a few properties still being worked on but I'm excited to see the progress next time we visit. I hope the pool and restaurant will have new owners by then and be available. I can see that being a major advantage to staying on Daufuskie! I contacted the property manager and his group many times during my stay with everything from a medical issue to where could I buy a flashlight and received a very kind prompt response every time. This is a wonderful team to work with and a great location to stay. We cannot wait to visit again!

Summary: Our cottage was just as presented, very clean and appealing. Set up w several spices and lots of good quality utensils in the kitchen. The yard and beach area we perfect for walks and sunbathing. My daughter and daughter-in-law and myself thoroughly enjoyed our time together at the cottage and our travels about the island on our golf cart. The arrangements to and from the island were seem less. Captain Dan was wonderful to work with. Communication with the management was timely and efficient.
