Thanksgiving Get Away from Everything!

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.

Relaxation

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!

Beautiful location

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.

3 year Family Trip on Daufuskie

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!

Great stay

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!

Nice rental…awesome beach access

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.

Relaxation at it's best

My whole family was so relaxed once we arrived and have never been so relaxed in our entire lives and I'm relaxed when I go up north while in Wisconsin. This is a whole new level of relaxation. We will definitely be coming back year after year. We fell in love so much that we started to inquire about properties while we were there. So hopefully soon we will have a place of our own in the near future so we can come there more often.

First Visit to Daufuskie

This property was clean and well kept. The boarded up cottages and buildings in Melrose are a little concerning but don't detract from this property overall. The owner or property manager should consider including a membership to the pool to entice visitors.

Would recommend

We really enjoyed our stay in the Melrose Beach home. This was our first time to Daufuskie Island and we absolutely loved it. The home was just as advertised and the location could not have been better. It was just steps away from the beach with a great view. I loved how each bedroom had an attached bath. Perfect for multiple guests. The home is showing its age in a few places (mainly the master bath) but nothing that would detour me from staying there again. The property manager was very accommodating and helpful, answering any questions we had. She even baked us a loaf of bread since we came over without any. Our week on the island went by way too quickly and we are looking forward to our next visit in the near future. I would absolutely recommend this property.

Keep calm and carry on

Wonderful way to unwind. Property is right at the beach, close enough to hear the waves lapping at the shore and far enough away so they don’t keep you up at night. Kitchen is well equipped, freezer makes a ton of ice, island has a distillery. The Overlook House is all you could ever need!

Peaceful quiet

If you want privacy away from the maddening crowd, Daufuskie Island is your place. If you want a lot of entertainment outside of a beautiful beach, a lovely home and time with your family, go elsewhere. We literally just came back from a full day at the beach, a mere 100 steps from our front porch and only two people walked past our umbrella! Step back into time where life is peaceful and quiet at Daufuskie!

Relaxing vacation with sisters.

Daufuskie is remote and you need to bring everything you want to eat with you on the ferry. But once you’re settled in it’s very relaxing. I’m going to miss that screened in porch! Deborah was very helpful.

Much Needed Holiday Weekend Perfection!

We took the kids and In-laws to Daufuskie for Memorial Day weekend and kicked off our summer in style. This house is one of the rare non-duplex properties on the beach and has the best porch in town hands down! Everyone was extremely friendly and we made friends everywhere we went. Debra was great and we have Beth stop by and cook us dinner. Social distancing on the beach was not a problem and we had a great time fishing from the beach every morning. We probably caught 20 fish with frozen squid and shrimp right from the shore. We are still talking about what a great time we had and cant wait to go back!

Great multi family beach home!

We had a wonderful vacation on Daufuskie Island. The home was absolutely gorgeous, and that back porch was incredible...the pictures didn’t even do it justice! All four bedrooms were off of the living quarters, each of them had their own bathroom (which was perfect for several families). The mattresses weren’t very comfortable, but that was our only complaint! The house came equipped with 4 very nice beach chairs & plenty of beach toys for the kiddos — I wish we hadn’t packed our own! The pool was also amazing, nice touch!
