Daufuskie Island Bloody Point Lighthouse and Museum Hotels

"This property is more than a home. It is a place for healing and restoration. I spent the entire month of January 2026 basking in the luxury and majesty of this villa. 2025 was a year of tragedy and upheaval for me -- my husband passed away, I was hospitalized twice, and I made the decision to move from the home where I raised my children. This villa was exactly what I needed. On warmer days, I could sit on the patio and watch the dolphins play, the sailboats float by, and the miniature deer graze. Everything about this place is luxurious. The furniture, the towels, the bedding, the mattresses, the china, the appliances…everything. I ate most of my meals at home, and the kitchen was fully equipped with every gadget you can imagine. And have you ever heard of a dishwasher that doesn’t make any noise? Unbelievable. Some days, I visited places like Coligny Beach, Harbor Town, and Shelter Cove to get a little exercise and mingle a little.The South Beach Marina Village is across the street from the famous Salty Dog Café, shops, entertainment, and a harbor with dolphin tour and boat rental options.The hosts, Margie and Gavin, were delightful. Their response time was immediate, but they were never intrusive or nosy.My stay at this villa was the experience of a lifetime. And as an added bonus, I missed a two-foot snowstorm at home."

"Wonderful location in the historic, central part of the island (near church, schools, etc.). Spacious, clean, new, well-appointed home. We loved our stay."

"Welcoming host, clean place with everything we needed. "

"Fantastic house! The pictures don’t do it justice, the house is beautiful, spacious, well apportioned, quiet, scenic, just perfect."

"Fantastic stay for marathon weekend"

"We love Daufuskie and find Melrose a great place for little kids and beach exploration! "

"A beautiful and spacious house, perfect location. We stayed with 7 people and a dog and were very comfortable. The house is well equipped and very clean. I had one little question and support was right there.Daufuskie is the perfect place to rewind and live slow. Loved it! Thank you!"

"My husband and I stayed here for our baby moon, and it was perfect! We used daufuskie life for our shuttle to and from the house, and Lowcountry ferry for our shuttle to island from Hilton head. Both transportation’s were great and referred by host! We got to the island a little bit earlier than our reservation, but the host was more than welcome to accommodate us, and great with communication. We ended up having a slightly stormy weekend, but the location of this rental was perfect for quick access to the beach for shark teeth hunting and access to the pool when you don’t feel like getting sandy. There are some food options at the pool house, but would suggest being prepared with some groceries if you don’t feel like a 10 minute golf cart ride. The golf cart included was wonderful and came with a full tank. Nice layout of the house with wonderful view of the inlet from the Atlantic Ocean. Would stay here with friends or by ourselves again in a heartbeat."

"Super nice and friendly. Host was great"
