"We had a great stay here (myself, my wife, 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son). This was a great location, and the villa was very nice. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring the island and eating at the various restaurants. The hosts were kind very good at communicating through VRBO. Highly recommend."

"This property along with Daufuskie Island is a great location to decompress. This listing was perfect. Steps from the water, amenities to have fun outside, beautiful sunrises, great screened in porch to feel the warm breeze but being protected from direct sun and other elements. Very responsive hosts prior to arrival and with questions during stay. Highly recommend."

"We were looking for a safe place to visit during Covid with fewer people and we found the perfect place. The Melrose Beach had plenty of room to social distance and our dog was able to join us - her first trip to the ocean! This won't be our last trip to Daufuskie Island and we are already planning our next visit. Knowing now how the ferry ride and shuttle to the house work, it will be even more relaxing. We packed all our food for the week and all was easily and efficiently transported. Deborah...

"We were a party of 9 adults on the island for 9 days. When we 1st pulled up to the property I was a bit concerned about the size from the outside, but once we were inside that was no longer a question. The place is incredible! Well maintained, clean, great layout for such a large group, and incredibly spacious. Slept 9 comfortably and we all had plenty of space. Everything was exactly as advertised and we had no issues at all with anything not working. Washer and dryer were very nice to have....
