AMENITY CARDS are now available for purchase. Our home is a new, private residence located at 609 Porpoise Dr.. After renting on Fripp for over 20 years I have tried to furnish our home with all of the comforts that you would be looking for. It offers a large Living Room with color TV/CD/VHS/and X-box setup (cable).
All three bedrooms have color TV/VCR with cable. Phones in living room, kitchen & all bedrooms. Ceiling fans in all rooms, breakfast nook, large kitchen, private dining room & laundry room (washer & dryer) with pantry. Large Master Bedroom has king bed & walk-in closet. Second bedroom has queen bed, 3rd has twins. Master bath has a shower & garden tub with lots of candles and bubble bath.
There is a lovely front porch with rocking chairs... and on the back, a screened-in porch (with table & chairs)& a deck (with large, new gas grill). All linens and cooking utensils are provided. We have a front yard with private parking & back yard big enough for the kids. We also offer at no extra cost, a four-seat golf cart (island fees for a cart is $265/week)& three bicycles to cruise the island. This is the preferred mode of transportation.
Fripp Island is private and gated. The island is three-and-one-half miles long. The beach is pristine white and very secluded. Fripp is a wildlife and bird sanctuary. You will see deer roaming at all times of the day and night, you'll probably see thirty to fifty any time you go out. Best of all, there are NO shopping malls, NO neon signs & NO traffic lights.
Fripp is the last island on the chain so there is no through traffic. If you don't live there or have reservations you can't get on the island. Safety +. Your children can't get into trouble unless they look for it.
Fripp Island was the film set for Forrest Gump, Disney's Jungle Book, and The Prince of Tides. Fripp also offers two championship golf courses - Ocean Point, designed by George Cobb, and Ocean Creek, Davis Love III first signature design.

“TAKEN FROM HOUSE GUEST BOOK”Your house is beautiful,comfortable & cozy. I am so glad we found you on the internet. I hope we have the opportuity to stay here again. My grandson could not believe the deer were all around us. They enjoyed seeing them so much. We attended the exercises for our newly graduated marine and pray he will be able to stay in the US. It was a grand experience. This is a beautiful place thank you so much.

“TAKEN FROM HOUSE GUEST BOOK”My words can't express the feelings of gratitude, excitement& (sorry to be leaving)the island. Your were right when you said this place is a gift from God. This weekend has been an experience for me in so many ways. As you,when I look across the water and see the beautiful sun or moon reflecting I have this breath-taking experience of remembering there is more to life than we often seem to rememger. I needed this transformation again & I am so thankful I found it here in you lovely home. I have enjoyed e-mailing you & talking to you on the phone. I do plan to contact you in the future with more transformaton reservations. Thank you again for the deer,horse-shoe crabs,angel wing shells,serenity & piece of Heaven on Earth.
