Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Keywords: House, Island home
This beautiful three bedroom, two and a half bath golf course house overlooks the sixteenth fairway and green on a 6000 acre private island off the coast of Beaufort, SC. Seven years ago we purchased the house and completely renovated and redecorated it with new carpeting, paint, furniture, appliances,kitchen items and linens. We visit it often, and we continue to improve it up for you and us to enjoy.
**** AMENITY CARDS*****
Because we are Fripp Island Club members, our guests can enjoy the fine recreational facilities and programs available on Fripp Island. Privately owned, with access restricted to preserve the high standards you expect, the Fripp Island sports and dining amenities are designed to provide unparalleled satisfaction. You may purchase up to six amenity cards. Each card is $50 per week from Memorial Day to Labor Day or $35 during the off season.
**** GOLF CART ****
Most of our guests want to have a golf cart available. Some do not. We make a four passenger golf cart available to those who want it for an additional fee of $250 per week which is more than $100 less than is charged by the resort for a similar cart. ****************************************
**** WiFi and HDTV ****
This past year we installed a new HDTV for the living room. Each bedroom has its own standard cable connected television.
Two of the bedrooms have queen size beds, and the third has two twins. Among the other amenities you will find, we include two bicycles to help you explore our wonderful island. Although we have tried to think of everything to make your stay more enjoyable, we welcome any suggestions you may have to make your next stay with us more enjoyable.
Fripp Island is a private gated island off the coast of one of South Carolina’s most historic cities. The island features two championship golf courses, a tennis center, a beach club, numerous swimming pools with adjacent poolside bars, a marina, several restaurants, abundant wildlife, woods, marsh boardwalks and miles and miles of walkable beaches and nature trails. Included with your rental is the right of access to all of Fripp’s natural wonders.
The house has 1550 square feet of room plus a comfortably sized deck. The kitchen is large enough for more than one person to work in comfortably and has a small breakfast nook. The living room and the master bedroom have ten foot cathedral ceilings.
Sitting on the deck, you may watch golfers work their way along the championship course, wave to Al, one of the alligators who resides in the lagoon across the fairway and occasionally look off to your left for a glimpse of the ocean at the inlet between Fripp Island and the neighboring Hunting Island. The ocean inlet is approximately 400 yards away. The nearest beach is a leisurely stroll of about 800 yards.
Our home is filled with light and features casual, comfortable furniture, beach books and inviting spots for reading, and jigsaw puzzles. The living area's large, open floor plan allows the cooks among you to prepare a meal without missing the card game at the dining room table or the conversation in the living room.
Amenities: When you arrive, you'll find the beds all made up for you and towels and toiletries in each bathroom. Not your basic rental. Our home is a home-away-from home with a large well-equipped kitchen, three TVs in the bedrooms, an HDTV in the living room, a VCR and a DVD player, a fireplace, a wet bar, air conditioning, cable television, coffee maker, deck, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, full kitchen, microwave, telephone, and two bicycles and a large charcoal kettle grill for grilling out.
A POST SCRIPT: Choosing a vacation home sight-unseen is always a challenge. We know because we did it too, every summer for 30 years. But more and more we kept coming back to Fripp Island. It suited our life style. Our goal is to help you decide if our home is right for you. So please don't hesitate to ask questions.
This is not a holiday home but a home filled with love and feelings that it belongs to someone. We have stayed at many places in the USA, but this is the best. A great vacation.' Perhaps our home will be right for you.
We wish we could extend our invitation to your pets, we love our pets and always wanted to take ours along. But we have put a lot of work, love and money into making our home inviting and comfort-able for us and our guests and we are concerned that ordinarily well mannered pets get nervous in new surroundings and accidents happen. So we have to ask that you not bring your pets. We also ask that you not smoke in our home.

Map & Owner's Profile
Golf Course Home: 3BR 2 1/2 Bath, Hdtv, Wifi
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Fairway Club Villas
We wanted a free standing house large enough to accomodate our small family, with a view of the water on the golf course. We had stayed at some of the Fairway Club homes in the past and really loved them. When we saw this house, we decided to not miss the opportunity.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Every day the deer walk by. We're on a first name basis with some of them! We have a pond across the fairway with wonderful ocean birds (including a bald eagle who comes by to fish once in a while), a few alligators, jumping fish and one of the world's great frog choruses. They ought to take their singing on tour. Four hundred yards up the fairway, we can see the ocean where it comes into the inlet between Fripp and Hunting Island. Within a couple of hundred yards, the Audubon Club maintains a nature trail on the edge of one of the marshes.

We had been renting at Fripp for nearly 30 years. In 2003 we saw this house, fell in love with it, bought it and have been working on making it perfect ever since.

Really comfy house for a Fripps Island Stay

Review Submitted: 11/19/11
My husband and I stayed at this property a few weeks ago. It was a first for the property and a first for Fripps Island. We enjoyed both. The home is spacious with lots of light and the views were quite nice. From the living room and adjacent deck, there is both a golf course and slightly further away ocean vista. The living room was very comfortable for sitting and watching TV or reading a book and the dining area was also comfortable, looking out on the golf course vista. We would not hesitate to recommend this villa and would like to return there ourselves some day.

My husband & I stayed at this home in September 2011. It is very comfortable,clean and has a great view of the ocean and a fairway. The people that work on Fripp Island are very friendly and helpful. We ate at a place called the Shrimp Shack for lunch which is just before Fripp Island and it has the best flounder sandwich I have every had. This location is close to Savanah and Hilton Head and both are a must see. The Wards were most helpful with info on everything in the area. If you are interested in this area we would highly recommend this property.
Owner response:We work hard to keep our house clean and supplied with almost anything one might need on a vacation, including information about the area. We truly appreciate the kind words of our guests that let us know we have succeeded.

This home is lovely and extremely clean. You can tell the owner really cares and it was perfect for my wife and two young sons. We had a blast riding the blue golf cart (rented from the owner) and all the restaurants in the area were very good. If you like a CLEAN, QUIET home and one great BEACH with plenty of wildlife all around, you will love this home on Fripp. Also no need to bring anything especially kitchen utensils the Wards have thought of everything, they even had small arrival bags made up for the boys with small toys and cookies sitting on the table upon our arrival. THANK YOU
Owner response:What a fabulousl review. Peggy and I work very hard to make our guests' vacation a special one for them. It is wonderful when our guests see and appreciate our efforts.

While the family isn't new to Fripp, we were new to this side of the island. The house is in a remote part of the island that gets VERY little traffic. This was wonderful having 2 small children. The layout of the house is ideal for a family. The house surprisingly was very quiet making it easy to curl up to a good book or take a nap. The one thing Rick and Peggy do not brag about is this house only has 6 steps to climb. What a joy it is unloading the car for the week and not breaking your back hauling everything up and down steps. As usual there were plenty of deer and alligators. The golf car we rented through Peggy and Rick was waiting on us when we arrived as were the ammenity cards. Peggy and Rick were extremely helpful and answered any questions that we had. This is the 4th house we've rented on Fripp and we would not hesitate to rent again.
Owner response:Thank you for your wonderful comments. I only want to set the record straight, there are eight steps, and while the street where the house is located is a cul de sac with very little traffic, the house sits on the 16th fairway with a view, albeit a distant one, of the ocean. Again, thank you. I hope we see you next year.

We enjoyed our stay at your home. It was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the patio which we thoroughy enjoyed as we watched the golfers and have the urge to try it ourselves. It was so relaxing and of all the time I have been vacationing, I was surprised that the kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances, cookware, dishes. What a nice addition, as I have personally toted pots and pans with me so that we had everthing we needed to cook with. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching the deer come up to our patio. I would recommend this home to anyone who would like to relax, ride a golf cart,enjoy the deer and the golfers and need I forget the alligator that resides in the lagoon. July 2009

A comment from our on-site guest book in July, 03: We would like to thank you. The house was very comfortable and the furnishings were great. Also, the home had a lot of extra amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. Our 9 month old loved to watch the deer off your back deck. We hope to visit Fripp Island in upcoming years and hope to visit your home again.
