About this property

Enjoy an outstanding safe ocean rental on a sparsely populated island

This property is located in the Melrose on the Beach plantation directly on the ocean which is on Daufuskie Island. For those not familiar with Daufuskie it is an island without a bridge located about a mile south of Hilton Head. It is accessible by Ferry or boat. There are great views of the Atlantic Ocean, Hilton Head Island and Tybee Island from most rooms and the multiple porchs and decks.
The home is on the Jack Nicklaus designed golf course overlooking the 16th green and 17th tee.
There are 3 oceanfront master suites each with its own Jacuzzi tub. There are three oceanfront decks and three fairway decks. There is a screened porch of the kitchen for outdoor dining. The home has three separate living areas and two laundry rooms. There is a second refrigerator for extra food and a wine cooler with wet bar.
Portions of the Melrose Resort remain closed including the Inn and the golf course. The Beach Club restaurant is looking to reopen later this Spring or early Summer., as is the pool on a seasonal basis.
There has been erosion of the seawall in front of the home due to Atlantic storms so the house is now directly located on the beach which is tidal. At times the water will come up to the ocean level slab. The first floor of the house is located about 18 feet above the ground on pilings so it has not effect on the dwelling.

Spring Break
The house is as advertised inside. It is large, spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was heavily utilized for our large family and we made a lot of meals, which brings me to Daufuskie itself. This island has never recovered from the hurricane over a decade ago. The listing doesn’t mention that the beach is unusable by the house. There are large downed trees all along the beach and a busted sea wall making fishing almost impossible. The pool is literally sitting on the beach as a large concrete monument to the hurricane. There are two boarded up condemned houses on the beach right next to this house. The pictures on the outside of the house are pre hurricane I believe. Also, this house is not on a golf course. The golf course was abandoned some time ago and it just large areas of overgrown bushes and grass. We had a great time and if you like it quiet and private then this is a great place to stay. You won’t be disappointed with the inside of the house for sure.
