2 Br Villa Vacation Rental In Daufuskie Island, South Carolina

This beautiful, modern villa is nestled in the quiet Melrose Resort community on Daufuskie Island. During your stay in our villa, you will enjoy ocean views from every room, warm ocean breezes on the large screened-in porch, and short walks to the white sandy beach. Views of the marsh and ocean abound, and there's plenty of sea life and nature to enjoy as old southern charm surrounds you on Daufuskie Island, with its beautiful moss-covered oaks and rocking chair front porches.

Whether coming to Daufuskie for the first time or a seasoned visitor, you are sure to appreciate the unspoiled beauty the island has to offer. Since the island is only accessible by ferry, visitors on the island are limited. The beach is uncrowded and there may be times you find yourself alone on the beach. There are very few cars on Melrose, making it quiet and safe for the entire family to walk, bike, and play. And best of all, the beach will be just steps from your villa.
