PLEASE NOTE: Concerned about how to get to our bridgeless island? Daufuskie Rental Group is here to help you with the logistics of booking your passenger only ferry/water taxi, ground transportation shuttle from the dock to your rental, and golf cart rental? (Fees Apply)
A 4-passenger golf cart is included with your stay! Please contact us if you need additional golf carts, as discounts are available for DRG guests if booked with our premier partner, Island Essentials Cart Company. Want to book a fishing charter, History Tour, Dolphin Excursion or Sunset Cruise? We've got you covered! Contact us to for a one-stop shop experience!
We will text you the entry code and Wi-Fi password on day of arrival once unit is ready. The Daufuskie Rental Group on site team lives on the island and ready to help in any way!
The Neighborhood:
And the location is sublime! The Sassafras Cottage is situated on the picturesque Avenue of Oaks with a wooded setting at the front and the Atlantic Ocean at the back. As a free-standing house, guests will enjoy privacy and beauty...and all just steps to the beach.
Didn't we tell you this house has everything?
The Melrose beach is mere steps away from the Sassafras Cottage.
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.
Getting Around:
Concerned about the logistics of coming to a bridge-less island? No need to worry! Guests receive information and assistance from the DRG team, all of whom live on the island and who are available 24/7 for any problems. Team members strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable adventure for their visitors, and to ensure that their Daufuskie experience creates lasting and once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Other Things to Note:
A 4-passenger golf cart is included for any reservation created on or after 12/17/25! Please contact us if you need additional golf carts, as discounts are available for DRG guests if booked with our premier partner, Island Essentials Cart Company.
IMPORTANT: IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE A WATER TAXI OR FERRY TO DAUFUSKIE ISLAND SC. WE WILL HELP WITH THOSE ARRANGEMENTS
** PET POLICY:
We will accept a well-behaved canine member of the family if approved by the property manager. However, the dog must be over one year old, not be aggressive towards people or other pets, be house trained, does not get up on the furniture, and is ok with being left alone when you are away from the cottage (no incessant barking or destructive behavior). We require that you will be a responsible pet owner when the dog is outside, that your dog is always kept on a leash, is up-to-date on flea and heart worm treatment and...most importantly...that there will be no signs that your pet was in the property when you depart. You must be responsible for any damage and/or extra cleaning caused by your dog. There is a nonrefundable pet fee of $125 for one dog; $175 for two dogs.
