- "Thia was a perfect place to get away to! The cottage was clean and surprisingly stocked with anyrhing we needed. The porch off the living room made you feel like you were sitting in a treehouse! 100% would recommend staying here while visiting Daufuskie." - "We really enjoyed our stay here. It was easy to get to the beach with a golf cart. There was plenty to do! The house was well equipped with everything we needed. I do recommend bringing in plenty of food as the General store is limited. Will stay here again! The beach was not crowded and everyone was friendly. The house was perfect for us and we brought 4 kids. Really enjoyed this peaceful trip as the house was quite private. Never ran into anyone. Absolutely loved it!"

- "Nice" - "Even though there was a tropical storm on our second day and we were without power for little over a day, our hosts were great! They brought us coffee the morning the power was out. We will definitely be back!" - "This place is amazing. It was just my wife, myself and my dog (60lb GSP) and we loved it here. The beach is directly in front of the house just over the dunes. We never saw more than 3 people on the entire beach the entire week we were there. We cooked and grilled every night, and the kitchen is well stocked for anything you would need! They do provide food and water bowls for the dogs but the dog bed provided is very small! Something to keep in mind if you’re bringing a larger dog. This was a fantastic place to stay and we are already planning out return"

- "We always enjoy the huge porch and easy access to the beach." - "Very cute, super clean and wonderful location. Our family and puppy loved every minute! We will definitely return!" - "We had a wonderful week staying at Melrose on the Beach. The front porch was wonderful with a great view of the ocean. Patti's condo had everything our family needed with nice extra touches such as sunscreen, beach chairs and beach towels. Patti also was easy to contact and provided great information for our family as this was our first time visiting the island."

Within 200yds of Beach, renters will have the pleasure of staying in a Beautiful Home. Daufuskie Island is unique in that it does not have a bridge. Visitors, renters and owners travel from Hilton Head or from Savannah by Ferry (45 mins.) to the Island. One of the best things that we have to offer is our on island manager, Karla. She will help you with everything before and during your stay. We will help you with the Logistics.
There is something about a charming beach cottage that is absolutely irresistible, don't you think? The stunning hydrangea blue siding, white trim, nautical touch décor, and windows that let in the sound of crashing waves, what's not to love?
This comfortable cottage is endearingly named "Beach Haven". We think everyone should have a "haven", so why not one on the beach. From the moment you step inside, you'll be swept right off your feet.
At just 1600sf this adorable seaside getaway is located on the charming island of Daufuskie, South Carolina. As you enter the front door you will quickly see that the "open living" floor plan makes this cottage feel much larger than it really is. (Please see the pictures.)
But wait until you open the French doors and take a look at the 12'X 30' screened-in back porch. It is not only decorated with wicker furniture, and a marble top wrought iron table, but there is a very unique walnut swing bed. Of course, on the back landing is a gas outdoor grill. This spacious back porch is nestled in a grove of live oak trees, dripping with Spanish moss. It gives you a tree house feeling and it overlooks the 6th green and the 7th tee of the Bloody Point golf course.
The upstairs is totally devoted to the master bedroom and master bathroom. It has a sitting area and a walk-in closet to make you comfortable.
Under the house you will find another deck for your pleasure. There is an outside shower with a place to wash the sand off and two bikes, beach chairs, boggie boards, skim boards, beach games and toys, all for your use.
Because of liability issues we cannot allow you to use our golf carts. So, we suggest you rent a golf cart for your stay on Daufuskie. We can help you arrange this and it will be delivered and waiting for you. Also, we will help you with the logistics of the Ferry trip to and from Daufuskie and any other transportation needs. Part of the adventure and uniqueness of Daufuskie is getting there and then exploring the Island in a golf cart. What fun!!
Since the beach is just 200 yards from Beach Haven, it is just a short golf cart ride, or bike ride, or a short walk. This is great for early birds to take in a stroll on the beach before the rest of the house awakes or the convenience of running back to the house to get something you forgot, or the bathroom, or maybe fix a beach lunch.
Also, within walking distance in the opposite direction from the beach is the historic Bloody Point Lighthouse. It has a gift shop for unique and special gifts, food items, and wine! There is a video room which features a short historic video about Daufuskie and the Lighthouse. Outside is a very interesting garden area with horticulture examples of the Island's Plantation farming history. And, a viewing area to look at 3 bald eagle nest. Beach Haven is within 500 yards of five nest and eagles and other birds are wonderful for bird watching.
Our guest book will give you all the details of places to go, eat, see, and do. You can be as busy as you wish or as relaxed and rested as you want. Just sit back, relax and enjoy this fabulous adventure on Daufuskie Island.
The sleeping arrangements are as follows:
Upstairs is completely devoted to a master suite. A full size bed is in front of Easterly facing windows, giving you a view of the ocean and spectacular sunrises without getting out of bed. And, the master bath is stunning. Downstairs is a full bathroom and a den/second bedroom with a queen size Murphy bed. It's brand new and very comfortable. Also, there is a queen size sofa bed in the living room. Even though it appears that this cottage sleeps quite a few, we recommend 4 guests. However, we will be happy to entertain your request for more guest. Just message us.
I left out that we have fiber optics high speed wifi. And, our TV is a smart TV.
Please ask if you have any other questions.

- "This is our first time using any of the short term rental sites, and we were a little hesitant about the process. BUT. Let me tell you about this wonderful home, and the amazing people who are listing it! From the day that I booked for our vacation, we've had a line of communication open with the on island rep for this home. She's so sweet, and recommended ferries to book and companies to get carts from to scoot around the island. The home itself? Immaculate. So beautiful and clean, it felt like visiting a family member's home instead of something booked online. We used to stay exclusively in nicer hotels on vacation, but this is BETTER. Bathrooms were stocked up with all the essentials, the kitchen had all your basics covered, and good grief. This house is gorgeous. I LOVE this home. There was a full binder worth of info about the island, including some how-to, menus for the island's restaurants, and a map with the route to the beach. There's no central AC in the home, but the mini splits kept everything nice and cool for when you came back from your adventures. Daufuskie Island has cemented itself in both of our hearts, to the point that we were looking on Zillow the first night of our trip. To the owners: You have made such a beautiful and loving space in an amazingly gorgeous island. I hope every day you spend in your home is just as wonderful as the brief two (just two!! Sad day on leaving) nights that we got to enjoy."

You will find yourself strolling from your cottage to the beach over and over. This pristine and secluded beach is perfect for long walks, jogging, and even bike riding. (No golf carts here, though! This is a nesting area for the endangered Loggerhead Turtles.) Families especially enjoy the relatively calm waters where children can swim and play.

- "Property was clean and the property manager checked in and responded thru texts quickly. Booking process and information sent ahead of time was helpful in planning ahead" - "We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the island!! We hope to be back soon! Thank you for a wonderful experience" - "We can't wait to come back!" - "Perfect location for some quiet time at the beach with family!" - "Like so many people, I have been feeling the stress of all that is going on, business, and the pace of life. I realized I needed a vacation and the thought of staying at a crowded hotel and not being able to get out when I needed just did not interest me. I went on line and saw this beautiful house and realized this is where I wanted/needed to stay. I reserved the house before talking with my Wife but she agreed that this place looked great! When we got there, the property was as beautiful as the pictures and we spent 4 relaxing days listening to the waves looking at the amazing views. I had plans for so many things, but the house was so relaxing and comfortable that I spent most of the time in a state of bliss. The house had everything I would have imagined and we wanted for nothing. This was one of the best vacations we've ever had and will be going back to Daufuskie on a regular basis. We are counting the days when we can return!"

- "We absolutely loved our stay at the beach cottage at Melrose. The cottage is clean and very well furnished, and offers great views of the ocean and Hilton Head Island. The whole D'fuskie Island experience is extremely relaxing. The people are warming and inviting. Everything is a short golf cart drive away." - "This house was beautifully decorated,equipped and located! From the large screened in porch we were able to see the ocean and watch the thunderstorms in all their glory, to top that the perfect double rainbow! The house came with a golf cart which was a necessity to explore the island. There isn’t a lot of nightlife but the island is better than any other beach location we’ve been. It’s got a charm and private feeling you won’t match. We are already discussing the dates for next year!"

- "This was my family’s fifth time staying at DaFuskie Dreams, and our 6th visit to DI. The home is the perfect size for our family and a great location, just a short cart ride to the beach. Very private, clean, and maintained. We LOVE relaxing on the porch swing. Host is very responsive and informative. Always a great stay!" - "The Dreams house was everything we needed and more. The well-stocked kitchen allowed me to cook meals for our family all week. There were books sharing the history of Daufuskie. Nice location, very quick cart ride to the beach. The best part about our stay, though was Deb. She was incredibly helpful when the power went out on our first night and was very responsive to any needs we had all week. 10/10 would recommend this property!"

The Neighborhood:
THE ISLAND

Most of our visitors also take time to get to know the rest of this special island. Those who do quickly realize that they have discovered a hidden island gem just a short boat ride from the mainland. Quiet, laid-back, and unique, beautiful Daufuskie is described by old-timers as similar to Hilton Head before a bridge connected that island with the mainland. (Daufuskie's unofficial slogan is 'No Bridge? No Problem!')

When you choose this cottage for your vacation, you will find a perfect setting to experience a lovely low country island with a centuries-old cultural history, beautiful beaches, spectacular wildlife, and friendly residents.

The wildlife is abundant and breathtaking. You will be close to the site of a Great White Egret and Wood Storks rookery, where you will see hundreds of these graceful birds settle in for the night. A nest of American Bald Eagles can occasionally be spotted, and now and then vigilant visitors can actually catch sight of a Loggerhead Turtle coming ashore to lay hundreds of eggs in the soft sand.

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.

Other Things to Note:
It is necessary to take a ferry or water taxi to Daufuskie Island, which is located between Hilton Head SC and Savannah, GA. We will be happy to help with trip preparations!

- "property was nice, no complaints" - "This was our first time on Daufuskie Island and it did not disappoint! There were a lot of pieces to put together in order to ensure we had a successful vacation but every step of the way someone was available and willing to help us with any questions we had or suggestions for us! Pay attention to all the information you receive. There are a lot of instructions to follow, times to take note of, schedules to adhere to, and packing to be done but trust me they told me everything to consider along the way, and had I not done so our vacation would not have been nice as it was! We fell in love with this island, the beach, the trees, the quietness, the people everything about it. Our home was very comfortable and in a great location! Even after exploring the entire island, I think I would still choose to come back to these rentals. I loved being steps away from the beach. I loved the outdoor shower to rinse off sand too! There are a few properties still being worked on but I'm excited to see the progress next time we visit. I hope the pool and restaurant will have new owners by then and be available. I can see that being a major advantage to staying on Daufuskie! I contacted the property manager and his group many times during my stay with everything from a medical issue to where could I buy a flashlight and received a very kind prompt response every time. This is a wonderful team to work with and a great location to stay. We cannot wait to visit again!"

This eclectic storybook cottage is located in the Historic District of Daufuskie Island, just minutes from one of the most secluded public beaches in America. Fish from the ocean shoreline or in the brackish marsh for sheepshead, croakers, whiting and more!

It was quiet, comfy and very restful - look forward to visiting again !" - "Wonderful retreat, very private. The island is full of nice people." - "This sweet cottage is off the beaten path. Perfectly appointed to accommodate the low-key island vibe. The area offers opportunities to explore modern-day ruins by bike or golf cart. Bring a chair and a pair of binoculars to watch the birds at the rookery."

- "Highly recommend this property! The house was perfect, very comfortable with a huge screened in porch. Very personable check-in which was awesome. They truly went above and beyond for me when I told them my connection to Dufausky. Beach access was easy and having a golf cart included was key. Would definitely stay here again!" - "Living on HHI, people wonder why we would ever consider going to another close by beach. Daufuskie, is the apt answer for that question - close but not too close, remote but not too remote. Have not been to Daufuskie for many years - was great to re-familiarize and feel pampered - JonBie Maison lodging at Easter Beach (105B) was perfect. Everything & anything you need is there from coffee (NICE coffee), nice refrig, great decor, comfy & relaxing screened porch, even spices for cooking, just like home - only better - since you didn't feel as though you needed to plan anything!"

The kitchen is a dream for anyone who cooks (this island is not for people who don't, lol). A combination of nautical and nostalgic decor - beautiful and homey. The screened in porch allowed us to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about bugs - such a nice touch. We loved it!"

- "Well, best thing I can say about this place is that it was about perfect. It has a huge screened in back porch that looks right out at the ocean. It was very clean and looked beachy. The bed was very comfortable and the air was cold. It has a bath that is long and deep, if you want a good relaxing bath. We were sad to leave and can't wait to come back someday soon." - "Beautiful view of the beach, especially with a full moon. No traffic, no crowds, perfect place to unwind. Screened porch chairs perfect for napping."
