Ocean View Home on Daufuskie Island

Traveling to Daufuskie where the island does not connect to any mainland by bridge, you'll enjoy a beautiful ferry ride from Hilton Head/Bluffton or Savannah-where you'll leave your car and take a step back in time. Once at the dock you'll travel to our house by way of land transportation and rent golf carts for your travels around the island during your stay.

Our home is located on the beautiful and historic Daufuskie Island on the Melrose, with just a fairway separating the house from the beach and Atlantic Ocean. Our 5 bedroom/5 bath open and spacious home gives you a perfect view of the Calibogue Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy rocking on the front porch taking in the serene atmosphere and wild life, with room for the whole family to experience the history and beauty of Daufuskie.

June 2025 Family trip

Needs to accommodate with a larger group ex: towels, plastic containers, plastic cups, House wasn’t the cleanest. Killed a lot of water bugs. Dryer wasn’t drying completely. Having to light the stove every time you needed to cook. Ice machine didn’t work. Overall had a great time!

Golf cart heaven and so much to explore

This property is amazing for family and friends! Everyone has their own bath and quiet space. The kitchen is very nicely stocked with cooking pans and dishes with a great grill. Incredible views of the ocean and sunrise. Our group included a grandmother 90 years old and a 3 year old with other adults and absolutely everyone found things to do and had a great time. Lauren was fantastic as a resource and very quick to respond to questions . True story it is a logistical challenge to get your groceries over and coordinate ferry and ground transportation…but Lauren was super helpful and it was very much worth it! There is so much history on the island and if you love golf carts then this is paradise! So much fun for the whole family to explore ! We definitely want to go back again! Without hesitation indorse the Twigg House property!

Magical !

My colleagues and I stayed at this beautiful home for a long weekend and it was magical. Lauren the owner was super responsive and assisted us with all our questions. We sat on that front porch and watched the sunrise every day, the dogs played on the beach. It was so much fun driving to dinner in the golf cart and navigating the island. We took a tour with Sallie and learned about the history of the island. I want to go back soon! Don’t hesitate it this place is available!

Holiday weekend getaway

Our second time renting this property and it never disappoints. Group of locals that love to spend the off season on Daufuskie and this house was perfect. Lauren is very responsive and makes the check in/out process quick and easy. We’ll continue to rent this property from her because of the amazing experience we’ve had the last 2 visits.

First time on Daufuskie.

First of all, pictures don't do this house justice. It is absolutely massive and we loved all the space. Location: just a short stroll to the beach. Never saw a neighbor and it was extremely quiet and peaceful. The sea wall is great for photos and wildlife watching. Crabs, seastars, sand dollars, birds, pretty much anything you would want to find at the beach. The only negative here is that unless the tide is out it is not really safe, imo, to swim with the sharp boards and such submerged in the water. We waited until the tide was out to swim, but the public beach was nice and only a short cart ride away. The host was responsive and answered all of our questions in a short period of time. Having 2 fridges was awesome for our large party. Air fryer and cofee maker, pretty much everything you need. Front porch was unbelievable. We loved our stay here and hope to come back!

Spectacular Ocean View

This was a lovely location for our family staycation on Daufuskie Island. We live in neighboring Hilton Head and have always wanted to explore Daufuskie as a family. This home provided us all the space and amenities we needed for a long weekend stay.

A relaxing week!

We LOVED this house and did not want to leave to go back to reality! Our group consisted of 5 adults (2 couples) and 2 teenagers - this house enabled us to have our own bedrooms and bathrooms! My daughter and son didn't have to share! Most of our time was spent on the porch and walking along the beach which felt like our own private beach! Everyone had a place to go to get some time alone and the open floor plan allowed us to have lots of time together to play games and enjoy meals! The kitchen had lots of supplies to make anything we wanted to make! Each time we requested items, they were delivered that same day! We loved our stay and Lauren was SO helpful with the millions of questions I asked her about the island! Thank you!

A very special home

I can’t say enough about this house, the island and the amazing owners. We were married on the island and hosted our reception at the home afterwards. It was the absolute perfect setting. There was amazing communication from the moment I inquired about the property, the entire time we were there and afterwards. They were willing to help with anything we needed and made our stay great. The house is beautiful and warm. The views are amazing. Daufuskie is so special to us. We will definitely be back. This house will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Amazing!!!

This home was amazing! It was large enough for my entire family to spread out. Our teenagers admittedly had a good time, even though it is quite secluded (which I love). I love the privacy and being beachfront. Sitting on the porch watching the sunrise and listening to the waves crashing was very relaxing. The people on the island are extremely nice and treated us like family, especially Nancy at the Daufuskie Crab Co. The house had everything we needed. I cannot wait for our next trip. Thank you Lauren (and Sherry), you made our trip highly enjoyable!
