Guest Access:
PLEASE NOTE: Concerned about how to get to our bridgeless island? Daufuskie Rental Group is here to help you with the logistics of booking your passenger only ferry/water taxi, ground transportation shuttle from the dock to your rental, and golf cart rental? (Fees Apply)
A 4-passenger golf cart is included with your stay! Please contact us if you need additional golf carts, as discounts are available for DRG guests if booked with our premier partner, Island Essentials Cart Company. Want to book a fishing charter, History Tour, Dolphin Excursion or Sunset Cruise? We've got you covered! Contact us to for a one-stop shop experience!
We will text you the entry code and Wi-Fi password on day of arrival once unit is ready. The Daufuskie Rental Group on site team lives on the island and ready to help in any way!
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.
A 4-passenger golf cart is included for any reservation created on or after 12/20/25.
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:
A 4-passenger golf cart is included for any reservation created on or after 12/20/25.
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).

This place made for an awesome vacation. No traffic, beach was not over crowed. A 10 out of 10. Would repeat this trip every year. Didn’t want to leave!
A beautiful ocean front half cottage on Daufuskie Island. Very relaxing stay away from the noise of the big city. Empty beaches at this time. Water is warm, but not clear.Amenities provided all essentials. Very clean place.Will be back at some time...
This property was very clean and beautiful. The management company was great with communication and very accommodating to us. The entire process was seamless. Our family spent a lot of quality time relaxing to the sound of the waves.
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.
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.
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 place right at the ocean. House was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. When I needed information property manager got right back to me. Definitely would 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.
