Girls weekend
We had a fantastic time on Daufuskie island for the weekend. The Sea Horse cottage was perfect for our small group. We loved being right at the ocean front. The cottage was clean, updated, decorated nicely and had all of the amenities to get us started for a lovely weekend. Would definitely stay there again.

Amazing Time at a stellar house
This is an amazing property. The house sits right across the path from the beach, and right next to a beach club with fabulous food, and terrific pools. Plus we had the wonderful opportunity to see a sea turtle emerge from the ocean, and make a nest for her babies in the sandy beach behind the house! The rental company folks who live on-island are very nice, helpful and responsive to issues that arose during our stay. We left our extra non-perishable unopened food in a bag on the counter to support local families. It’s a nice way to give back a little to this island and the nice folks who will welcome you here! FYI: bring food, beach towels, dish soap and trash bags. Have fun on Daufuskie!

Labor Day weekend at Melrose on Daufuskie
Overall very nice cottage/home. On the beach and only a few steps from the ocean. Clean, well appointed home. Coffee maker and BBQ grill did not work, but called/texted manager and it was addressed in a few hours. Only negative was the the home lacked outdoor living space, ( porch and/or deck). Unfortunate because the views were great and having a deck or screened in porch would have been wonderful.

Beach cottage was very comfortable, just a few steps from the ocean, and provided all necessities.
Preperty met all expectations. It was clean, directly on the ocean and had all the necessities for a comfortable week's stay. It was located on a beautiful part of the island and transportation was by golf cart provided by the host. Plan to return next year.
