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:
Concerned about the logistics of coming to a bridge-less island? No need to worry! Guests receive information and assistance from the DRG team, all of whom live on the island and who are available 24/7 for any problems. Team members strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable adventure for their visitors, and to ensure that their Daufuskie experience creates lasting and once-in-a-lifetime memories.

** 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). We require that you will be a responsible pet owner when the dog is outside, that your dog is always kept on a leash, is up-to-date on flea and heart worm treatment and...most importantly...that there will be no signs that your pet was in the property when you depart. You must be responsible for any damage and/or extra cleaning caused by your dog. There is a nonrefundable pet fee of $125 for one dog; $175 for two dogs.

Second time at this property!

We love this property so much that we came back again this year. It's perfect for our group of ten. The kitchen has everything we need to cook our meals and there is plenty of space to spread out.

The house was beautiful, well stocked, and perfect proximity to the beach. We had a few housekeeping and cleanliness issues that have been addressed with DRG. The manager was flexible and communicative.

No hot water for half of the house for 6 day

The property was nicely situated on the beach. Clean, but 2 of the 5 bedrooms asa well as the kitchen had no hot water. There's no one able to fix it for 6 days we were there. A guy came out the 2nd and 4th day to fix it but was unable to fix it for longer than 1 minute. Then they blamed the propane company for the problem. No one actually came out that had experience in fixing hot water heaters. I requested a partial refund for the hassle and inability to use 2 showers and kitchen sink. Never heard from them again except to offer a discount on our next stay. No way am i spending a ton of money with a company that doesn't make good on their promised 5 bedroom, 5 bath property

Good for large groups

We had 10 people in our group and there was plenty of space. Great location and updated house. We only had two minor issues: ice maker doesn’t make much ice but you can buy some on the island and the dryer takes a long time to dry clothes or towels…not real issues just things to account for. Overall very happy with the house and would stay again if we ever come back to daufuskie.

Most wonderful family getaway!

Everything was spectacular. The property owners are great, communication was easy, the house was in perfect condition. Views are not to be beat and the ocean is literally across a golf cart path. This is the perfect place to stay to experience everything this remote island has to offer. Thank you for making our trip extra special!
