Immerse yourself in the rich Gullah culture and history of the island, with landmarks like the Mary Fields School whispering stories of the past. Daufuskie is also home to an artisan community, where local craftspeople create beautiful works that reflect the island's culture.
Keep in mind that there is no "BRIDGE" to Daufuskie Island, so your adventure begins with your choice of a private water taxi, passenger only ferry, or your very own boat. When taking the ferry/water taxi, you will need ground transportation from the dock to the rental and book an electric golf cart as well. Fees apply for all these services. DRG is here to help you with all the logistics and more!
As you explore the island by golf cart, you will encounter the island's gentle deer, vibrant bird habitats, and even the occasional alligator basking in the sun, reminding you of the natural beauty that thrives here.

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.
