This means more planning and preparation on your part, but it’s also why Daufuskie is so undeveloped and special! Guests must arrive by ferry or water taxi and secure ground transportation from the arrival dock on Daufuskie to the cottage.

There is a small general store on the island for essentials, however, it is highly recommended that you bring food over with you or order grocery delivery. There are restaurants on the Island - Old Daufuskie Crab Company, D'Fuskies, and Frye's Chicken Shack.

We had the best time! Check-in and check-out was easy. House was clean and furnished with everything we needed for a long weekend getaway. Loved our proximity to the beach and the golf cart made getting everywhere around the island a breeze. Will definitely be returning!

Great location

We just spent the best week on Daufuskie! The location was perfect for walking out and spending mornings on the beach, afternoons at the Melrose pool and evenings riding the golf cart to view wildlife. It was so peaceful and relaxing, and my kids said they wish they could stay all summer! Can’t wait to go back!

Great getaway girls trip

Beautiful view and great location. House was clean with basic amenities. Needs some upgrades on the house- particularly the flooring , which is soft and sinks in places. Maybe water damage ??

Isolated and relaxing

Over all the place was nice and not crowded at all! We stayed 4 nights and seemed like we had the whole beach to our selves everyday. House was nice for the rates we paid… the only drawback was there’s no hot water pressure in the showers.

Quick get away and awesome time!!

Hubby and I enjoyed the Melrose beach cottage so much we extended our stay and cried when we had to leave! We had so much fun touring around the island in the golf cart, visiting the museums and learning about the island. Such an amazing place and the cottage was absolutely perfect with a breath taking view of the ocean. We will return!!

We had a great stay. We were comfortable and the house was clean and as advertised. We do suggest more towels being left for the guests but that’s the only thing we’d change. : )
