We went to the old resort for years before it went BK. This year we went over from HH to visit the resort. I ran into the project manager for the new owner. They bought the inn, and surrounding area. They are trying to buy the pool area, docs and boats from the bank but no luck yet. They are... More

Good for a day trip to learn about the Gullah culture and local artisans Highly recommend Charlie from Outside Hilton Head tours. but this is no place for a vacation! More

We did not stay at the resort, but did take the 30 minute boat cruise to the island and rented a very cool 4x4 golf cart. We drove around looking at the overgrown, deserted golf course. The Inn is closed with chains on the doors so we cruised the grounds on the cart. You could never do that if it... More

I am not sure this place is still in business. We are considering another trip down to Daufuskie Island (and will not choose the 'spa'), and I wanted to post this in case anyone else was considering staying here. My hubby and I went down for a romantic weekend over Valentine’s day in 09. I know this is dated, and... More

My wife and I spent our honeymoon here in July 2005 and for the most part loved it. There were a few issues with the snootiness(or SNOTINESS) of the hotel staff, but overall an enjoyable trip. By far the most fun we had was exploring the island with our golf cart. There are a series of dirt paths that run... More

Took one of the tour boats over to Daufuskie Island yesterday, Oct 13th. This hotel is locked up tight (chains and all). We were told it has been in bankruptcy for over a year. The island itself is boring! Most of the "sites" are mere drive-bys or open only a limited basis. Do yourself a favor and take a boat... More

Although my first experience in the spring a year before was not fantastic, it all but made up for it this time around. To come to vacation at Daufuskie Island one has to realize they are first on vacation - its time to slow down, do nothing, and let nature put you back together. That is what this island and... More

We went to this resort for a wedding and were not happy at all with our experience. Well for starters, we arrived at the embarkation center to park our car and catch the ferry, when we noticed that the parking lot was not secure and there are no security cameras. But where else are you supposed to park your car???... More

We stayed in the Melrose Inn on September 19th and 20th and had a very pleasant stay. The room was very nice with a great view of the ocean. But the resort seemed to be a bit on the run down side, missing screen in our window, hallways were dirty with lots of cob webs, pool bathrooms were not clean,... More
