Daufuskie Island, South Carolina
Please Note:
Daufuskie Island has no bridge, and it's necessary to take a ferry or water taxi from SC or GA to get here. We help with those arrangements!

Daufuskie Rental Group is proud to introduce the 5bdr/5bth Sweetgum Cottage, a member of DRG's Daufuskie Coastal Collection. This luxury free-standing house has recently undergone a complete renovation, and offers discerning island visitors a private and breathtakingly beautiful home overlooking the Melrose beach and Atlantic Ocean.
As are all the Coastal Collection properties, the Sweetgum Cottage is, quite frankly, drop-dead beautiful. Decorated by Atlanta designers, every room is a showcase of casual elegance and comfort. There is no space in the house that is not touched with exquisite lighting, artwork, and furnishings.
And the location is sublime! The Sweetgum 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.

The Daufuskie Coastal Collection properties are managed by Daufuskie Rental Group, an on-island team of professionals dedicated to sharing the island dream with visitors.
Daufuskie Rental Group is not responsible for the availability (or lack thereof) of any amenity beyond our control, such as the restaurants, museum, etc.
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.
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. We recommend you contact the vendors for current rates, days and times open.
2) Your rental agreement contract's cancellation policy states that we are not responsible for events that are beyond our control, such as weather related. 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.
The living area features an open floor plan including comfortable seating areas, a fully equipped kitchen, a large flat-screen TV over the fireplace, and of course the fabulous ocean vista. The adjoining screened-in porch overlooks the ocean, and provides a perfect setting for morning coffee and evening cocktails.
There are four master bedrooms in the house, and one master suite with a seating area and private screened porch. All of the masters have ensuite bathrooms separated by sliding "barn doors." Three of the masters have king beds, the fourth one has two queens. (Perfect for parents who want to share the space with their little ones.) The fifth bedroom has a queen bed and the bathroom is directly across the hall. Coastal artwork, luxury bedding, high end furniture, and elegant ceiling fans in all bedrooms await their fortunate guests.
The cottage features an open floor plan with comfortable seating areas in the dining and living room areas. The fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing family meals, easily flows into the living and dining spaces.
A wonderful ocean-front screened porch offers a relaxing setting for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Also included in the house is a full laundry room with washer, dryer, and laundry sink. Outside, you will find a hot and cold water shower and a gas grill. The cottage also comes with 4 beach chairs.
Didn't we tell you this house has everything
The Melrose beach is mere steps away from the Sweetgum Cottage.
Wonderful times were had by our entire family!
Amazing place and location! Perfect place to relax, enjoy the beach and get around on Daufuskie! The house is clean, nice and perfect for relaxing, going to the beach, pool and hanging out! We had 2 families staying together and we had plenty of room to eat and hang out. highly recommend!
I highly recommend this vacation home. It has spectacular views throughout and steps from the beach. We had a wonderful time.
Daufuskie was a prefect vacation spot—few people, slow pace, beautiful beach! This home was beautiful and fit our three families perfectly! The beach is steps out the back door and we were pleasantly surprised with the wagon, beach chairs, and toys! We chose this house based on beach and pool availability. So it was very disappointing the pool was not open and that it was never communicated to us that it closed. The kitchen is very sparsely equip and nothing was provided when we asked—no pitcher (we laddled tea from a bowl all week?). Management did replace a broken coffee carafe within 24 hours but the kitchen has NOTHING—pack it all: coffee filters (basket), paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, etc. Its a lot of extra planning to get to Daufuskie—ferry, food, transport, cart rental. But it’s very much worth it!!
Great place on the beach. We really enjoyed our stay.
The house was great for our family vacation! We really enjoyed the layout and the beach was just steps away. DRG was super easy and communicated well to get us checked in and out.
Excellent
Wonderful week
Having already been to Daufuskie and stayed in several different Melrose rentals this house exceeded expectations. One of the newer rentals on Oaks it’s perfect and very comfortable!! Kitchen is well equipped as is the beach toys/chairs. Will definitely be back.
Really great. Would have liked more beach chairs. Not so easy /cheap to rent additional ones. . Great kitchen. Pool excellent. Surprised at how small common area for tv watching was.
