A Blue-Chip Oceanfront Opportunity. A true Daufuskie Island oceanfront retreat-where unspoiled beaches, maritime forests, and low-density coastal charm create an experience you simply can't replicate on the mainland. Built to perform, this is the largest home in the Melrose Cottage-an irreplaceable footprint in this neighborhood unlikely to be reproduced with current guidelines-offering 6 bedrooms/6 bathrooms, including two lockout suites with kitchenettes-ideal for accommodating multiple groups, providing guest separation, or maximizing rental versatility. Set on one of the East Coast's most tranquil stretches of shoreline, this Lowcountry oceanfront oasis delivers sunrise views over the Atlantic, sightlines extending to the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and spanning to South Beach, home to some of the area's $8M+ oceanfront properties-a compelling value comparison for oceanfront offerings. A standout for buyers seeking both lifestyle and upside, the property sleeps up to 20, has a proven rental history, and has future rentals already on the books-making it equally compelling as an investment opportunity or a peaceful coastal second home retreat (rental income 2024: $159,767 and 2025: $101,652). Recently refreshed with new LVP flooring throughout (bathrooms included), various kitchen appliances and furnishings, plumbing and light fixtures, and a new back deck addition to soak in the unobstructed ocean views, this home is positioned for immediate enjoyment and continued rental performance (the back deck is not currently stained as the wood requires dry time; staining will be completed prior to closing-enhanced photos included). Situated on a large lot, the home offers a level of privacy that's increasingly hard to find in an oceanfront setting. All of this is set on Daufuskie Island, a private barrier island located between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, accessible only by ferry or boat. Enjoy the benefits of your investment and the rare sense of quiet-surrounded by natural beauty-while remaining close to Hilton Head conveniences. One of the owners is an SC-licensed RE agent.
