Location: Fairway Club Villas, Fripp Island, Low Country & Resort Islands, South Carolina, USA
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6)
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. Three years ago we purchased the house and completely renovated and redecorated it with new carpeting, paint, furniture, kitchen items and linens. We visit it often, and we have set it up for you and us to enjoy.
**** AMENITY CARDS*****
Because we are Fripp Island Club members and have purchased Master Guest Cards, 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. Six master Guest Cards are provided which allow you to purchase up to six amenity cards for the adults in your party, if you desire. Each AMENITY CARD fee is $50 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 $200 per week which is $80 less than is charged by the resort for a similar cart. ****************************************
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, two TVs, a VCR, 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.

From our on-site guest book August, 03 Dear Wards- We absolutely love your home -- The colors are fresh & bright yet also soothing. We especially enjoyed sipping coffee in the morning on the wonderful deck -- watching the sun come up & gazing at the ocean. Thank you! This is our fourth time at Fripp & we all agree that this is the best spot. We plan to return! Thank You Signature

Rick and Peggy: My parents and I had a nice stay. Everything was so comfortable! Our grandparents came along with my aunt and we loved the couches so much that my friend and I preferred to sleep on the couch. The view was magnificient, everynight we would find ourselves on the porch staring up at the stars. A good thing your house was so nice because it rained one day and we're stuck inside, therefore we got out a puzzle. One more thing before we leave, since we are packing up, I loved the bikes! My sister's boyfriend and I found them and rarely put them down. Fripp is a nice place to use them. Well, we enjoyed our stay. Hope everything is back in its place. Signature

From the on-site guest book August, 03: Rick and Peggy, Fripp Island turned out to be a wonderful vacation destination. The kids loved the wildlife, especially the tree frogs that visited the sliding glass door each night. The house was great and provided a headquarters from which to operate. We thank you for the warm reception. Signature "We saw deer, an alligator, and wnt walking for seashells." Daughter, Age 5.

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.
