Melrose on the Beach Villa | Deluxe Oceanview Penthouse, Pool, Fitness Center & Transport From Dock Included!

2 Bedroom Villa in Melrose on the Beach, Daufuskie Island

This beautiful, modern villa is nestled in the quiet Melrose Resort community on Daufuskie Island. During your stay in our villa, you will enjoy ocean views from every room, warm ocean breezes on the large screened-in porch, and short walks to the white sandy beach. Views of the marsh and ocean abound, and there's plenty of sea life and nature to enjoy as old southern charm surrounds you on Daufuskie Island, with its beautiful moss-covered oaks and rocking chair front porches.
Whether coming to Daufuskie for the first time or a seasoned visitor, you are sure to appreciate the unspoiled beauty the island has to offer. Since the island is only accessible by ferry, visitors on the island are limited. The beach is uncrowded and there may be times you find yourself alone on the beach. There are very few cars on Melrose, making it quiet and safe for the entire family to walk, bike, and play. And best of all, the beach will be just steps from your villa.
When booking, PLEASE NOTE our place is listed as pet friendly, but we only allow dogs (with a $100 pet fee per stay and completed pet addendum) and our HOA only allows up to 2 dogs in our villa. We are also only allowed a maximum of 6 overnight guests in our place per the fire ordinances in our area and cannot accommodate groups of more than 6 guests. Please provide the total number of guests in your group and if you will be bring any dogs with you on your trip, please check the “Traveling with Pets” box when when booking so I can accurately relay the information to our grounds transportation crew who will be picking you up at the dock. Also PLEASE BE AWARE our villa is located on Daufuskie Island, which is only accessible by passenger ferry and you cannot bring your car to the island. You must book one of the ferry/boat services to the island and leave your car at their dock. Cottage Carts (road-ready golf carts) are the main form of transportation while on the island and you can easily book a cottage cart or bikes for use during your stay with one of our locals rental companies. Though we do not include a cottage cart, all of our rentals include ground transportation between our villa and the dock on arrival and departure and our place is within walking distance of the beach (approximately 100 yards) and the Melrose Beach Club and Oyster house (approximately 200 yards). Access to the Pool and Fitness Center at the Melrose Beach Club and Oyster House for up to 6 adults/children are also included throughout your stay. Additionally, we provide beach chairs, resort-style beach towels, a beach umbrella, and a beach cart with a selection of toys for your use during your stay so you do not have to bring those over to the island and you can relax and enjoy your vacation.
The are 4 villas in our building with the same floorplan. One unit directly behind us and two units directly below us. We have a shared entrance to the stairwell at the ground floor of our building and then a private entrance to our screened porch and villa. The screened porch is not shared and has doors leading to the porch from the main living area as well as each bedroom. All areas of the screened in porch face the ocean with direct views to the beach and ocean which are just a 100 yards away. The Villa's main living area features spectacular ocean views with the sunlight and moonlight glinting like diamonds off the water throughout the day. The living room features a full sofa, two large chairs, a large TV with DVD player and Cable TV, including air play and streaming to most popular internet streaming channels. The kitchen is fully equipped with service for 6 and full-size stainless steel appliances, garbage disposal, and dishwasher, making meal preparation easy for you and your family throughout your stay. Meals can be enjoyed in the dining area or screened porch and each area seats up to 6 comfortably. A full-size washer and dryer is located in the closet just behind the dining area to make island life more convenient.
The Master bedroom features a king-size bed with beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset. From the Master there is direct access to the screened porch, so you can enjoy the rocking chairs or balcony height table for two without disturbing your guests. In the Master, there is a TV with a DVD player and Cable TV with internet streaming capabilities. The Master bath features a jetted tub for two, dual sinks, and a large walk-in shower. The Guest bedroom also features beautiful views of the ocean for your family and friends to enjoy. There are 2 queen beds, a TV with a DVD player, and Cable TV with internet streaming capabilities. There is a large en suite bath with tub/shower combination and dual sinks. From their Guest suite, your family and friends will also enjoy their own private access to the screened balcony and a private seating area with rocking chairs.
Named "Daufuskie Point of View" for its spectacular views of the island and ocean beyond, the villa features a 500 square foot screened-in porch. The screened porch is a wonderful place to spend time with family and friends, watch children play by the shore, and dolphins and shrimp boats just offshore. With its multiple seating areas and ocean breezes, we think you will truly enjoy this extension of your living space during your stay.
For those considering their first trip to Daufuskie we know the idea of traveling to our bridgeless island may be daunting. We provide all of our guests with a list of recommendations and contact information for the various ferry/boat services, cottage cart and bike rental services, grocery services, etc. at the time of booking. This makes it easy to book these services on your own, but they are not included in your stay. You would make your own reservations and/or place your own orders, then pay the vendor directly. If you have any questions regarding these types of services in advance of booking your reservation please reach out to us through the inquiry option before booking for more information.

Summary: Was a short trip after the Thanksgiving holiday. Was our first visit to Daufuskie Island. Susan was always quick to respond to my messages and was very helpful and friendly. The house is wonderful and exactly as shown and described. Well designed and decorated. Great view. The beach is nice. Not large waves but that may have just been the time that we were there..? Everyone we met were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely look to come back again.

Summary: This property is beautifully decorated and has a wonderful location! We thoroughly enjoyed the unobstructed ocean view and the soothing sounds of the gentle surf. The beach was clean and the neighbors were friendly. Patti was very helpful, and her place is squeaky clean with many thoughtful touches that give it a homey feeling. The island was fun to explore - we even saw an armadillo family! Be sure to check out the Daufuskie Soap Factory and the School Grounds Coffee shop! Next time we will bring a fishing rod and more dinner groceries so we can stay in and just enjoy our home away from home. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Summary: It was our first time visiting the island and Patti made everything flawless. She provided specific and detailed instructions and answered all of my questions both before and during our trip. She provided clear communication while we were there, and once we arrived Sue took over and added more. The condo has the best view and everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Please note this is a location made for relaxing, there’s no fuss at all. If bringing children make sure they are prepared to relax and not be busy. We had the best time, beach and pool during the day and games and puzzles at night. Perfect way to unplug and unwind.
