First time on the island. Great location. Right on the beach. Sit on the porch and watch the sunrise with some coffee or the the sunset with a meal. Ride or watch the horses, ride the golf cart all over.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable for our three-generation family of six. The kitchen is well-equipped and, in addition to regular dishes, even had plastic cups and plates for young children. The location is excellent -- just a few steps from the beach and a lovely beach view from the kitchen, living room, screened-in porch, and one of the bedrooms. We enjoyed visiting the island's historical sites, Lucy Bell's Cafe and School Grounds Coffee, running on the beach, hunting for shells, riding bikes, and spotting alligators. The rental team was very easy to work with and sent us all the information we needed to figure out the logistics of our first-time Daufuskie visit.

Wonderful beach front property. Waking up to the sunrise from our bed every morning melts the world’s havoc away!

10/10

This home has an incredible view of the ocean and a nearly private beach. Each morning for our sunrise walk we only saw one or two other people. How can you beat that? The location is quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a get-away. The service of the Daufuskie Rental Group is incredible. I forgot a much needed medication and they liaisoned bringing it to the front door. That certainly exceeded my expectations, especially for the remote location. I would return to this property.

10/10

We had a pleasant and safe family getaway with the most beautiful ocean view. Waking up in front of the beach is unbeatable. The beach was practically all to ourselves and provided a great way to relax and to exercise at leisure.

House was clean and stocked with the necessities. The resort pool was closed but the restaurant was open with a minimal staff. Most importantly the ocean view was relaxing and the beach was secluded.

Spent 4 nights at Sunrise cottage. Very nicely furnished and appointed. Kitchen had everything we needed. A couple of minor maintenance issues, but overall a nice place to stay.

Truly a special place. Sunrise cottage is right on the beach and has everything we needed for a relaxed, easy time on the island. Beds were super comfortable and sitting on the porch listening to the waves was a delight any time of day. The kitchen is well equipped and perfectly located in the house for making meals and still being a part of the action. Deborah was super communicative whenever we had a question and was kind enough to give us local tips and insights about island happenings. My family of 3 had a wonderful time and would happily recommend Sunrise Cottage and Deborah to anybody.

Perfect location, lack of crowds and NO hectic activity, fun history and local artisans, interesting wildlife. Will definitely return! Also the sunrise view from our oceanfront porch was magnificent.

just what was need for a long weekend of peace and quiet nd a beautiful setting all over the island

10/10

We spent 6 nights in Sunrise Cottage and absolutely loved it. The property was cute and clean. The beaches were practically empty (which was great for us looking to enjoy some privacy and time away from the rat race). The sand is truly a 60 second walk from the back door and the screened porch was nice to listen to the waves. This vacation was unlike anything I have ever planned and Deborah and her team were responsive to my questions about logistics. My husband and I would definitely go back.

The Cottage caught my Family and I like a glove. The Cottage is on the Beach and the Sunrises are truly amazing. The Island is absorbed with a kind and kindred feel! We all enjoyed getting our hands dirty and exploring the Island with the Golf Cart as well. If you want to go back a couple hundred years ago and get away from it all; look no further you have found your Sunrise Cottage Get Away! Take care, The Williams Family

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Melrose at the Sunrise Cottage. The management staff was responsive to our needs and checked on us throughout the week with recommendations for activities and restaurants. We would highly recommend to any family looking for a place to escape and unwind.

This was my second stay at the sunrise cottage and it was as wonderful as the first! The cottage is beautiful and and the views are even more amazing! I love the ease of walking onto the beach and getting around the island. Everything you need is provided in the cottage. We did not feel like we were missing anything during our stay. It was wonderful! Everyone involved with the property is wonderful! Deb, Karen and Karla are so sweet, accommodating and easy to communicate with. I love spending the morning drinking my coffee on the screen porch and watching the sunrise. The beach is so peaceful and relaxing and it’s easy to spend hours there. This is my favorite spot! There are a few places to eat on Daufuskie and they each have something for everyone. We enjoyed all the food and the friendly staff! We also loved exploring the island and learning more about its history. Daufuskie is truly a hidden gem. Everyone on the island is incredibly friendly and helpful! We love Daufuskie so much we will be returning in 3 weeks! Thank you for another lovely stay! See you soon!

We just returned from an amazing stay at this cottage on Dafuskie! The cottage was exactly as the pictures show , very clean, well equipped kitchen, great beds, large rooms and plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 4 kids. The screen porch was the perfect spot to watch the kids play on the beach right in front of the cottage. We had an issue with the gas grill not working but the owner, Deborah Smith, was so kind and helpful, responded right away and got the issue fixed. We would definitely stay here again!
