Welcome to the Yellow Palmetto Retreat- Your Timeless Coastal Getaway!


Description

Step back in time at the Yellow Palmetto Retreat, a serene sanctuary that embodies the spirit of Coastal Southern living and family togetherness. This spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home invites you to reconnect, comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests within its generous 3,000 square feet of living space.


The Space

As you arrive via ferry to Daufuskie Island, you’ll find yourself transported to a simpler era, where time slows down and cherished moments with loved ones take center stage. Enjoy the tranquility of pristine, uncrowded beaches that stretch endlessly, perfect for building sandcastles and collecting seashells without the distractions of modern life.


Nestled in Melrose, this charming home is surrounded by nature, offering a peaceful and private getaway. The open-concept floor plan is perfect for family gatherings, featuring floor-to-ceiling French doors that open to a spacious backyard with a cozy fire pit—ideal for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars. The interior boasts stunning hardwood floors, smooth ceilings, and elegant crown molding throughout the main level, along with a screened-in porch off the dining area for leisurely family dinners.


Cook up delicious meals in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, complete with updated cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and ample storage space for all your culinary delights. The main floor features a convenient office that has an air mattress for additional guests and shared full bathroom.  The master bedroom has a King bed with ensuite bathroom, while three spacious bedrooms and two full baths await you upstairs, one with a queen bed, 2nd with a single and queen bed and 3rd with a bunk bed.  This beautiful home offers plenty of room for everyone.


Keep in mind that there is no "BRIDGE" to Daufuskie Island, so your adventure begins with your choice of a private water taxi, passenger only ferry, or your very own boat. When taking the ferry/water taxi, you will need ground transportation from the dock to the rental and book an electric golf cart as well- Fees apply for all these services. DRG is here to help you with all the logistics and more! 


Immerse yourself in the rich Gullah culture and history of the island, with landmarks like the Mary Fields School whispering stories of the past. Daufuskie is also home to an artisan community, where local craftspeople create beautiful works that reflect the island's culture. At the Yellow Palmetto Retreat, you can truly unwind, enjoying the comfort and privacy that enhances your family experience. As you explore the island by golf cart, you will encounter the island's gentle deer, vibrant bird habitats, and even the occasional alligator basking in the sun, reminding you of the natural beauty that thrives here.


Create lasting memories at the Yellow Palmetto Retreat on Daufuskie Island—where pristine beaches, rich culture, and the joy of family togetherness come together for an extraordinary vacation experience. Book your timeless escape today!

    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.


    Other things to note

    This is an electric cart only neighborhood, so please make sure to let the golf cart company know when you book your cart rental.
