The Captain's Choice - Unobstructed Ocean View - Best porch on Avenue of Oaks

2 bedroom, 2 baths, steps from the beach, sleeps 8 with inflatable queen mattress.
Clear to ocean view in Melrose with all the amenities of home. Living Room and both bedrooms are ocean side. Cable TV & wireless internet. 4 new HD tv's. New linens, pillows, bedcover and memory foam mattress pads. Both bedrooms have direct access to large, screened porch overlooking the ocean. Fully equipped, open kitchen.

Daufuskie Island is boat accessible only. Take a ferry or one of many private water taxis from Hilton Head, Bluffton or Savannah to get there. Your personal vehicle will be left at the departure location and a golf cart will become your means of transportation while visiting Daufuskie.

Enjoy your morning coffee watching the sunrise over the ocean from the large screen porch with rocking chairs, soft seating and a high-top dining table. Master bedroom has a King bed with a large private bathroom, 2 vanities, walk-in shower, Jacuzzi tub and toilet. 2nd bedroom has 2 Queen beds with large private bath with double vanity, tub/shower, toilet. Both bedrooms have an ocean view and direct access to the screen porch. Also includes Queen size inflatable bed.

You will fall in love with Daufuskie Island on your first visit. It is a vacation like no other. The craziness of traffic, tourist and crowded beaches are not our idea of relaxing. Your Daufuskie Island vacation begins when you leave your vehicle on the mainland and board a ferry or private boat for a fun ride over to the Island where you can often see Dolphins. After a short 30-45 minute ride you are so relaxed and ready to kick back and truly enjoy all the nature, quiet beaches, long walks & golf cart rides.

Feel any stress in your life instantly go away with the soft breeze of the ocean air. Tour the island on your golf cart and enjoy the nature and peacefulness. You may see rare birds, alligators, deer, fox squirrels and more!

At a specific point on Daufuskie Island you can see Hilton Head, Savannah and Tybee Island, but those crowded beaches are in the distance as you enjoy a private beautiful beach. If you want to see more of the local living enjoy a meal at the Daufuskie Crab Company, at the Freeport Marina, D'Fuskie's Store Eatery & Bar, On-Deck Diner, at Daufuskie Island Distillery, Frye's Corner, Island Shack or The Sportsman. Visit The Iron Fish, the community farm, The Daufuskie Island Distillery (Daufuskie Rum Company), Daufuskie Blues for indigo dying classes and beautiful merch, and The Light House at Silver Dew Winery.
In addition to our beautiful beaches, the Melrose Pool is open (seasonal).

There is so much to experience on Daufuskie, and we hope you will enjoy The Captain's Choice and all Daufuskie has to offer as much as we do!

Perfect holiday
The Captain’s Choice was the perfect setting for a vacation with our multigenerational group. The home was immaculate, quite spacious and included every amenity one could possibly need. It was a home away from home. The close proximity to the beach was the icing on the cake! Thank you!

Truly the best!
This place is probably the most beautiful and clean VRBO we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean! Decorated beautifully, comfortable furniture with everything you could possibly need! The porch was huge and well furnished, a spot for everyone with a fantastic view of the ocean. When it was too dark to see the ocean, you can hear it and feel the ocean breeze. I highly recommend anyone going to Daufuskie, to stay here. Thank you, Terri!

Loved this Villa!
Everything about this villa was amazing. This was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. It smelled fresh and clean the moment we walked in. Everything was decorated beautifully. We had everything we needed for our stay. It was just as described. The host even went above and beyond to leave out a pack and play for our infant to sleep in since we were trying to minimize the amount of luggage we could take on the boat. We would definitely use them again!

Wonderful stay
We just discovered this island, and we’re so excited we did. The place is a hidden gem. The house was all we could wish for. Very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for our stay. Huge screened in porch with views of the ocean. Beach towels, chairs etc are provided. We will definitely come back!

Beautiful views from the screened porch!
We absolutely loved the view from the screened porch. I enjoyed sipping coffee, reading, relaxing in the mornings with our dog while my teenagers slept. This is our third trip to the island and really enjoy the slow pace and serenity!
