Location: Private Homes, Fripp Island, Low Country & Resort Islands, South Carolina, USA (Corner of Tarpon and Rock Beauty) View Map
Accommodations: Estate, 8 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 5 Baths (Sleeps 18)
Keywords: Island Estate - Very Large
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 bedroom 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. We have a 73" DLP TV that gives great views from just about any angle. 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.
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. Pizza and ice cream available at the Beach Club Cafe. 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 ! Great times were had by all. eurousuen,tf.hotmail.bypass./.frippout.1.Nejrowurjwjcne.skkwk.wnoc.ekdo.

We were so happy to return to Invincible again this year! Our group continues to be thankful for such a great open gathering space with the large tv! Also, plenty of room to eat and play board games. We love the two refrigerators and two dishwashers. The weather was beautiful and the short walk to the beach was so convenient. We also walked along the marsh boardwalk. The owner is great to work with and we hope to return again.

I rented this house for all my bridesmaids to stay at for my wedding in Beaufort. It was such a beautiful house and it was very accomodating for a large group! Great spacious house right near the beach, and it had a huge back porch and a gameroom. Definitely recommend it and the owners are so nice and easy to deal with!

The reason we return to this property is because it is GREAT. It is huge. It is also close to everything important: beach club, ocean, tennis. The house is very comfortable. We've considered other properties...but after we view them...there is NO comparison. This house "Invincible" is indeed...special. We WILL be back.

This was a return trip for us. Both times we have loved our stay. The house is roomy enough to accommodate us (11 adults and 12 children) comfortably. We love the kitchen and game room and the large great room. When it was warm, the porch and tower stayed occupied. Riding around in the golf cart and seeing the deer and going to the park and beach kept the children entertained. This trip was cold and wet, but we still enjoyed our stay. We were still comfortable in this lovely location.

"This is a great house"

Review Submitted: 01/09/11
Invincible is the place to stay for your Fripp Island vacation. The location was awesome - a very short walk to the beach and to the boardwalk - which was great place to see a beautiful sun set. The house itself was absolutely wonderful. "This is a great house" - were words spoken numerous times during our vacation. There is a two of everything in the kitchen and everything you need to make your meals. The open floor plan allowed everyone to be together to eat, play games and watch tv. You can conveniently go to each of the bedrooms on the main floor or go outside and sit in the rockers to read or even relax in the hammock. The upstairs bunk room was a hit with the kids - so much space. The game room was also fun. We would stay here again - great place, great price and great owner!
Owner response:Please return anytime. Regards :)

Great getaway

House – Great spot for an extended family vacation. 4 primary rooms or suites come off of a large common area. Easy to be a part of the action – easy to get away. The walls are plenty thick. Upstairs suite can accommodate many kids, although there is only one bathroom upstairs for the adults who get that Queen room. Still, very accommodating. Game room is accessed off from the garage area. Don’t plan to sleep there. Kitchen can accommodate all families and is a great place to spend time catching up. Had trouble with the one fridge, but owner was very responsive to our needs. Understand there is a spare on site now just for such emergencies. With that said, the owner actually called on the arrival date to check on us and see what we needed. Not many owners will do that. Beach is great. Only two blocks to what is really the biggest part of Fripp’s beach. Good proximity to the pools and trails as well. If you are up for it, Hunting Island is only 2 miles or so away. The bridge to Hunting Island is a little tight, but one sidewalk can be plenty wide. Once on the island, trails take you to the lighthouse, nature center, and beaches. Sad to see the old cabins falling into the sea, but a wonderful spot to visit (and see turtles in the early morning hours.)

Great Vacation

Review Submitted: 09/10/10
This pictures on this page do not do this home justice. It was huge and the bedrooms were very spacious and had a TV in every bedroom. The house is open in the common areas but the bedrooms are very private. It is about a 2 minute walk from the beach and the beach club. The kitchen was large and big enough to cook for an army. It was a perfect place for our entire family. The owner was very helpful and called us during check in and phone numbers are posted in the house in case you need to reach them. The place was very clean and neat. The golf carts were a big help getting around the island. We will be renting this place again.
Owner response:Thank you so much. Hope to see you again. :)

What an incredible house on a beautiful island! We recently stayed at this property and thoroughly enjoyed it! The house is huge, but it has a warm feeling to it - great for a big crowd or even just a few people. There is a huge TV in the great room and also TVs in the bedrooms which is nice if you want to separate yourself from others for a little while. I was even impressed by the comfy bed we slept in! There is a huge screened in porch in back where we sat every evening sipping on coctails, watching the many deer graze nearby. We also had fun in the game room below, where we played ping pong, foosball and billiards. The house is very close to the beach - not beach front, but it took less than a minute to walk there. And what a fantastic beach! It is so cool driving the golf cart around checking out all the deer and maybe an alligator or two sunning itself by the water on the golf course. Just off the island is Johnson's Creek Tavern. We ate there twice and it was excellent both times (if they have the sea bass - get it! Yummy!). We are definitely looking forward to returning to Fripp and this incredible house ASAP.

What a great house for a big family with children! We spent a wonderful week with our children and grandchildren at this house and everyone had their own space with plenty of room for togetherness as well! The bunk room upstairs was the favorite of the older children while the younger ones could be near their parents in the twins downstairs. The spacious living, dining and kitchen areas made our time together very comfortable as well. The hammock on the screened porch was a hit with all. The location on the island is one of the best, and just steps from the beach. There is plenty of covered parking and the golf carts were a fun way to travel to see the beautiful sunsets and deer in the evenings. We love bringing our grandchildren to Fripp!
