PLEASE NOTE: Concerned about how to get to our bridgeless island? Daufuskie Rental Group is here to help you with the logistics of booking your passenger only ferry/water taxi, ground transportation shuttle from the dock to your rental, and additional golf cart rental? (Fees Apply)
A 4-passenger golf cart is included with your stay! If you need additional golf carts, discounts are available for DRG guests if booked with our premier partner, Island Essentials Cart Company. Want to book a fishing charter, History Tour, Dolphin Excursion or Sunset Cruise? We've got you covered! Contact us to for a one-stop shop experience!
We will text you the entry code and Wi-Fi password on day of arrival once unit is ready. The Daufuskie Rental Group on site team lives on the island and ready to help in any way!
The Neighborhood:
The Melrose beach is mere steps away from the Water Oak Cottage.
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:
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:
Check in is 4pm and check out 10am
A 4-passenger golf cart is included for any reservation created on or after 12/31/25
