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.
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.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We fell in love with Daufuskie Island! Perfect house for our needs, terrific ongoing communication with the host, all with a beach view! Worth every effort to get there. We will be back!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
This cottage was amazing!! Clean and very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking tools and pans that one would need for meals. We mostly ate out at the different restaurants on the Island. Kristy was amazing host!!! I rent VRBO’s all over the country and have never had such a host that was so quick to answer questions and made us feel so welcomed. Would highly recommend!!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
From booking to checkout this was a 10/10 experience. I cannot say enough about Krissy Roberts, she was so knowledgeable, calm when I was not lol and extremely helpful. Always reachable via text & made our stay easy & relaxing. Logistics getting on & off island can be tricky & stressful - Krissy made the process so much easier. The property is gorgeous, clean, well appointed, comfortable & serene. Several times while enjoying the island I would comment to my husband - "or we could be in a hotel!" No comparison & worth every penny. Thank you for a lovely stay on Daufuskie Island as first timers.
