The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. The resort is the home of a Great White Egret rookery, where you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. A nest of American Bald Eagles can be seen now and then, and some lucky visitors can actually catch site of a Loggerhead Turtle coming ashore to lay hundreds of eggs in the soft sand.

Summary: This property was excellent. Not knowing the island, we did not understand the complexity of traveling to and from via water taxi. This lack of preparation made our agenda pretty expensive and stressful. It would have been helpful to know that we needed to bring groceries with us. We enjoyed the restaurant services that were open but it was quite limited. Overall it was a fun adventure. Hopefully this review will help you better educate your next guests.

Summary: House is better than what the pictures show! Spectacular view and distance from the ocean! Wonderful screened in porch- where we enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal! Kitchen items were perfect for cooking dinner, even though I bought some items.

Summary: Great place for the kids to unwind and the parents too!

Summary: We have stayed on the island many times. This property was excellent. Walking distance to the beach was the best part and loved the huge rooms. Great for children.

Summary: We stayed for 10 days! This property was nice, clean, and spacious for 5 adults and 2 toddlers + 4 additional visiting family members who had a smaller place down the street. We were able to cook and feed 11 people very easily here! The back porch (swing especially) was wonderful and the beach was close enough to walk to it multiple times a day, every day. There were also many great books and board games, which was great as we experienced many rainy days! The property came with a electric golf cart to my surprise (we were expecting gas) and communication was good. The kitchen is very well stocked and has just about everything you need. Now, as for the "hiccups" that are noteworthy for future guests... Make sure you bring dish tabs, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and paper towels. I bought the $140 stock the house package thinking it would help with our 10 days stay, but 2 dish tabs was kind of a joke. Its my fault - I should have looked more closely at the details. It was not worth it. We ended up buying a lot of the stuff again for that long of a trip. I feel that quantities of provided items should be adjusted to the length of stay. I even offered to pay more for more TP and PT, ungranted. For how much we paid for this rental, it was just annoying to constantly feel that basic needs were not met, and I thought I had planned well. Beware that there are cockroaches - dead and alive. One room in particular, especially the bathroom. When I turned the light on in the middle of the night, they would scatter... Just a little eww. I know this is expected in SC but the house needs another treatment. One of the 2 beds in the same room was not supportive at all. Both my husband and I ached after sleeping on it. This is an objective statement, so take it as you will. The other 5 beds in the house were fine. And finally, the hole in the screen porch - there are many reviews about it so I know the company knows about it. Not a biggie, however one night we heard something weird and caught a very fat, not shy at all racoon pulling my diaper bag through the little hole and took off with it. When I got it back, I found there was a granola bar wrapper in it - just a wrapper, but he could smell it. Be very careful not to leave food on the porch!! The big screen in porch is SO SO NICE but it gives a false since of security when there are large furry locals able to visit you after hours. I'm very glad my kids were not out there!

Summary: We planned a short girls trip to Daufuskie - our first time there! The location of the house is awesome for its beautiful beach access and views. It’s conveniently located to the bar / restaurant near the Freeport Marina. We thoroughly enjoyed the porch and the layout of the house was very conducive for hanging out together. My (minor) critiques are as follows: the group wished we had a few basic seasonings in the house so that we didn’t have to bring everything over on the ferry. This was communicated up front, so we were at least prepared. Water pressure was a little weak and the bathrooms in particular could use an update (again, something we expected based on the listing and communication). We were missing top sheets on the beds which would have been nice since it was a bit too warm for a comforter. Finally, there were a few dead bugs in the house when we arrived. Probably to be expected since it is a very natural environment. :) we had a great time and would gladly come back and stay!

Summary: One of the most relaxing vacations we have had!
Cindy C. May 8, 2022 11:00:24 AM
Summary: Loved the location. Melrose seems to be the better of the beaches on Daufuskie though there are lots of great water views. Not much to do on the island, so go planning to relax or explore nature. The company who managed the property were wonderful. Very helpful and great communicating with us. A couple of small cleanliness issues but we addressed those. The place needs a little TLC especially two of the bathrooms and there’s a hole in the porch screen that is a nighttime access to a critter of some kind Lol but overall we were pleased. They installed a new washer and dryer during our stay which was a bit aggravating as it took up 2 1/2 hours of my time because I didn’t like the idea of people being in my place though they were extremely nice. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.

Summary: Thank you for allowing us to rent this beautiful cottage. We come to Daufuskie each year and love it dearly. This cottage was oceanfront, provided generous room for a large family, and provided a relaxed vacation memory to remember. Pros-secluded beach, four bd/4ba, golf cart included, comfortable beds, beach chairs on porch, and INCREDIBLE back porch. Cons-the cottage has some NORMAL wear/tear that needs to be addressed (outlet loose from wall, large hole in porch screen, stove heating element on one eye not calibrated, door lock damaged etc) But I spoke w rental company and they are fixing these. This cottage is beautiful and you can’t beat the location. Recommend it highly. Also, recommend Bull River for private water taxi over and Mungeon Golf Carts if you need additional golf carts. Daufuskie is a magical place to vacation.

Summary: We were looking to escape reality and find a place that offered us the opportunity for relaxation, Melrose on The Beach did just that! All beds were comfortable with nice, crisp white linen. The home was clean, but there was a very strong, musty odor when we arrived. All of the bedrooms have carpeting that looked in need of a deep cleaning or removal. This may have been the source of the smell. The beach was beautiful and not crowded at all! We appreciated the beach chairs supplied by the owner. Overall we had a wonderful stay!
