There is a small general store on the island for essentials, however, it is highly recommended that you bring food over with you or order grocery delivery. There are restaurants on the Island - Old Daufuskie Crab Company, D'Fuskies, and Frye's Chicken Shack.

Quick get away and awesome time!!
Hubby and I enjoyed the Melrose beach cottage so much we extended our stay and cried when we had to leave! We had so much fun touring around the island in the golf cart, visiting the museums and learning about the island. Such an amazing place and the cottage was absolutely perfect with a breath taking view of the ocean. We will return!!

It's all about location!
We love the Melrose area and most of these homes have the same lay out. The beach is literally 89 steps out the back door! I would have appreciated quicker communication from the host. The master bedroom and bathroom floor dipped down in some spots, especially around the toilet, leading me to believe there had been water damage. It felt a little sketch. We appreciated the included a golf cart and beach chairs. The counter ice maker was very handy!We would consider returning to this home, as you seriously cannot beat the location & hopefully the floors will be repaired soon.

Great house—FABULOUS location!
We just had a blast on a friend trip at this house! This is our second trip to Daufuskie—we are all smitten with the island! We aren’t high maintenance, we wanted a CLEAN place, beachfront with a fully appointed kitchen and a spacious, enclosed deck. We got all of that and more! The rental agent answered almost all questions immediately. It was, at times, a little difficult to get quick answers via email during our stay, but we figured most answers out or asked locals, who are so friendly and helpful! We will DEFINITELY be back!!

Wonderful location and fantastic property manager. Sadly, the actual property has seen better days. I hope the owners consider giving it some TLC especially in the master bath. Please go into the rental with reasonable expectations.

Organized, clean, and great location beach house
We had a great stay. We were comfortable and the house was clean and as advertised. We do suggest more towels being left for the guests but that’s the only thing we’d change. : )

We love staying on the island! We have been staying for years! The mattresses were very uncomfortable and it would be a great idea to update them!
