Great home -- large great room, lots of windows and full deck. Situated directly on the ocean, it is just a short walk across the dunes to a gentle sloping beach - just right for children to build sand castles or teens and adults to walk, play games or watch the sea turtles hatching. We are located on the northeastern half of the island, ensuring full beach access 24 hours a day. Our home is an easy beach walk to the "Beach Club" where there is an Olympic-sized swimming pool, restaurant, snack shop, beachfront bar, as well as water sport rentals.
Our home, we call it "Whispering Sands", is fully-equipped for your vacation enjoyment. It has just been painted throughout and updated with new furniture, refrigerator, dishwasher, bedding and rugs. The large great room with its cathedral ceiling, expansive windows, and full deck provides the perfect place for relaxing. The four bedrooms and two full baths provide plenty of room for families or couples to share a vacation together. Two of the bedrooms have full ocean views and ceiling fans, with walk out access to the deck. An outside shower on the way back from the beach is an added convenience. WiFi INTERNET ACCESS lets you stay connected to work or friends.
With three and one-half miles of Atlantic beach, a balmy year-round climate and a bridge that sets the island apart from crowds and traffic, Fripp Island is the perfect oceanfront resort for families, singles, or couples. Whether you want to keep busy with the many available activities, or just relax on our deck overlooking a wide expanse of beach, this is the vacation you are looking for.
We are midway between two excellent golf courses. Each course is less than one mile away.
Ocean Creek Golf Course has won national "top ten" new course design recognition from both Golf Magazine and The Golfer, and is the first signature course designed by Davis Love III. Surrounded by scenic salt marshes, wetlands, and lush foliage, it is both a challenging course for the expert golfer, as well as an enjoyable experience for the more casual player. The movie buff may also recognize scenery from Disney's The Jungle Book and from Forrest Gump, since both of these films were shot on this site.
Ocean Point Golf Links was designed by George W. Cobb and provides golfers with beautiful ocean views and breezes as they play this pleasant but challenging course. Enjoyment of this mature course includes elevated tees and flying fish in the water hazards, as well as views of dolphins playing in the ocean.
Fripp Island is a year round community. Whether you are looking for a summer vacation with lots of activities for the kids or want to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and terrific weather during the Fall and Spring, you'll find our home is the perfect place for your vacation.
Up to eight Fripp Island Club cards are available for a small fee, giving you access to all island facilities.
