Location: Private Homes, Fripp Island, Low Country & Resort Islands, South Carolina, USA (Corner of Tarpon and Rock Beauty)

Accommodations:  Island Estate - Very Large, 8 Bedrooms, 5 Baths (Sleeps 18)

The best location on the island. Less than a one minute walk to the beach (~ 100 yards). Always great beach. Sandy and wide. A short two minute walk to the beach club complex. Corner of Rock Beauty and Tarpon Boulevard.

There are eight (8) bedrooms. Wi-Fi included.

LAYOUT OF THE HOUSE: As you enter, you immediately sense the size of the house. Spacious and airy. The kitchen / dining / great room constitute the central axis.

On the left side of the house are three bedrooms: the first bedroom is a queen. The second bedroom has two twin beds. These two bedrooms open to a central hall. These bedrooms are also connected by a bath suite.

The connection room has two lavatories. Off this room is another room with the commode and the shower. With this design, one guest can be taking a shower in full privacy, while another guest uses the lavatory.

The last bedroom on this LEFT side is a master. King with private bath.

The RIGHT side of the house is a mirror image of the left side, except that a laundry area is located in the central hallway.

All bathrooms have cultured marble counter tops and ceramic tile floors. The mirrors are huge: 4' x 8'. One of the master suites has a Kohler steam shower. All bedrooms have ample closet space. The corner bedrooms have flat screen LCD’s. Luggage holders and comfy chairs round out the bedroom décor.

There are two bedrooms upstairs. One has a queen, tv, love seat and walk in closet. The other bedrooms is perfect for kids: two sets of twin BUNK beds, a 50” flat screen TV, ample play space, toys, etc. There is a full hall bath for both of these two bedrooms. This area also has its own HVAC system. This room is heavily insulated. Quiet. ZZzzzzz

THE KITCHEN: The spacious kitchen has just about everything you could wish for. A professional range with gas burners and a very large griddle (14" x 24"). The oven is large with a see-through door. Two Sub Zero refrigerator / freezers with ice makers, two very quiet dishwashers, two microwaves, warming drawer, two disposals, two sinks and a Scotsman ice maker to supplement the ice makers in the refrigerators. Plenty of china, cutlery and cooking/mixing/serving pieces.

The counter area lay-out allows three chefs to be using the kitchen at the same time. Really. Plenty of space. Usual appliances: blender, toaster, coffee maker(s), and a hot strip for other plug-in's. One of the neat things about the kitchen is the lighting.

Three types of lighting: under counter, over cabinet and task specific. This way, you can pick your mood.

The dining room naturally flows from the kitchen area. As you can see in the photos, there is a large elevated bar. We chose wrought iron furniture with clear glass tops for the dining experience. The Pergo floors invite you to take off your shoes and stay a while.

As we continue in this area, the great room is next. It is a natural fit. Two love seats, two leather La-Z-Boy recliners and a generous sofa with coffee table form the "U" shape for TV watching. The 10' theatre screen is huge. In fact, there is not a place in the entire central axis without a view of the screen. You can even sit at the table and enjoy your favorite game or movie. It is rumored that folks have even watched an action movie while cooking in the kitchen!

Even though the house is large, there is also a warm feeling that comes from being able to separate from others in your own personal space. The house is very quiet.

Underneath the house is the game room. 9' pool table, ping pong table, foosball table, card table. With its black and white tile, neon signs, stereo, TV's, wet bar, it is the perfect get-away room.

The house has 5 HVAC systems for comfort. The three bedrooms on the left side have a system. Same for the bedrooms on the right. Kitchen / dining / great room has another. Upstairs area has another. And the last one is in the game room. This way, you can pick your comfort level. Bring your own grill. You can pick one up @ Wal-Mart for $30. This way it is new and ready for your use.

The large screen porch is always a favorite. Folks tend to congregate on the screen porch. A cup of coffee or a glass of wine, your favorite book, and in a few moments those “things” from your inland life will be melting away, as the sights and sounds of Fripp embrace you. The hammock is a treat.

The owner is attentive to both the condition of the house and the overall experience of the guest.

Comments: Amenity cards are available for purchase at extra cost. Guest is required to perform a few housekeeping assists: pick up and take out the trash, load/start the dishwashers. Cleanliness is important. Golf cars are available for $175 or $275 per week.

The house is located at the best beach access on Fripp. Even at high tide, there is always plenty of sandy beach to enjoy. I've listed a few competing properties. All are in great condition. However, we think you’ll agree that you get more for your money if you stay at Invincible.

Competing properties: vrbo/48166, vrbo/51276, vrbo/58576.

This property, Invincible, is a bargain. Come again. Often.

About Fripp. Fripp Island is NOT Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head. There are NO traffic jams. No neon. No fast food restaurants. It is affordable, quality, coastal living. Only about a dozen street lights on the entire island. When the sun goes down, it is DARK. Fripp is a nature preserve. Deer come out at dusk. There are no crowds at Fripp. Family friendly. Most folks use golf cars to zip around the island. Comfy and cozy. Come and be one of us !
Your name with no spaces frippout1 and the rest of the gang just showed up. Great times were had by all. eurousuenTomadkins/frippout1Nejrowurjwjcne.skkwk.wnoc.ekdo.

  • To put it in a word..."Awesome". This house if perfect for a large family week. We stayed at this home with our extended family and it worked out perfect. The living area and kitchen were perfect for our family. The kitchen has basically 2 of everything and we didn't have to run the dishwasher twice, and with the two Subzero refrigerators we had plenty of room for all of our cold food. This home could not be more perfect! The house is centrally located on the island close to the pools, beach club and beach. Fripp is a wonderful place to get away. We scheduled to come back next year while we were there! We didn't want to miss out!

  • 7/6/08 Our extended family cam from all over the US to Fripp Island and spent a week at this beach house. The house is roomy enough and so nicely arranged that even with an age diversification from young children to grandparents no one felt "cramped". It is well maintained and located at one of the few places on the island that has a beach during both high and low tide. A real plus for us! You can also walk to the pool if so inclined. I would highly recommend this rental.

  • Our group (mostly teenagers) came 2 days after Christmas and left New Year's Day. There were a total of 11 of us and we were very comfortable. The house is the perfect location and the island is beautiful! The setup of the house is perfect for large groups -- the kitchen, the big screen tv, the porches, the parking -- a great place to entertain and to relax. The kids had a great time on the golf carts exploring the island which is full of wildlife and great places to take pictures. The beach was perfect for collecting shells and sandollars and was such a short walk from the house. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back.

  • This is the perfect house for large groups. We had 15 people and the house easily accomodated the group. We never ran out of hot water, dishes, glasses etc. It is conveniently located to the beach, pool, tennis courts (a short walk or quick golf cart ride). We highly recommend this house.

  • This large comfortable house was perfect for our group of five couples. We all had privacy when we wanted it and could gather for our sedate brand of"fun and frivolity" when we desired. Being so close to the beach was wonderful and encouraged us all to walk off the seafood suppers we prepared. Can't say enough good about the house, the owner and the whole Fripp Island experience. We've rung in new years in Chattanooga, Asheville, Biloxi, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, Edisto Island, and in our hometown. Fripp was great and calls us back!

  • We (two families for a total of eight) stayed at this property over the Thanksgiving week of 2005 and had a blast. The owner is incredibly cooperative and the house is great for larger groups. Everyone had a bedroom and there were plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen was fully equipped and easy to use--a must when eight people are trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner together! The house is very close to the beach and the salt marshes. Fripp Island is a real treasure--be sure to rent kayaks and head out into the marshes. We would rent this house again and hope to do so. I can’t say enough good things about this property and its owner(s).

  • We stayed at the Invincible July 2005. We have been to Fripp for the past 12 years and this is the hands-down favorite. Close to everything. Large enough for my claustrophobic sister in law. When we compared it to some other properties on Fripp, the house was a real value. We do plan to come back. And by the looks of the way the calendar fills up, we're going to get our reservation in very soon. I would recommend it to anyone. It was great.

  • Invincible is a dream home with excellent accommodations. Our family spent Christmas in this wonderful home with more than enough space for the 18 of us. The island and home would be a dream for anyone who is looking for a relaxing break.

  • We traveled south from Ohio to escape one of the longest winter I can remember and found total paradise. This house became home for 8 golfers and we could not have been more pleased with the accomodations. I wish I had this kitchen at home. The guy's were speechless when we walked through the door for the first time. Thank you Tom for opening up this beautiful home to us. Also, the golfing was great except that I almost ran out of golf balls. Thanks again Tom. We're ready to come back next year!!!

  • Our family stayed in this home last summer. We have a large group and this home was perfect in sleeping arrangements and island location. The home is very nicely decorated and clean. The kitchen is nicely stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans--important to a big group like ours. We look forward to returning to Fripp and this home in the future.
