Location: Sawgrass, Fripp Island, Low Country & Resort Islands, South Carolina, USA (Fripp is the first island North of Hilton Head)
Accommodations: Home, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Privately owned home in the Sawgrass Bluff area of Fripp Island.
The Sawgrass Bluff area is located on the marsh side of Fripp Island. It is a subtropical wooded area about a ten minute walk or a five minute ride to the beach in our complimentary golf cart.
When you look out our windows from the living area, you see palms and a lagoon, not another house next door. Residents and guests of this area have free access to a shared private swimming pool with restrooms and change areas all accessible via an electronic pool card.
Adjoining the pool area is a small playground complete with a tree house, slide and swings. While the pool is just behind the house, it is far enough away not to bother your quietness.
Our renters also have access to a private crabbing dock extending into the marsh. This is a great place to catch crabs, fish, shrimp, or just sit and watch the wonders of marsh life or catch a fantastic sunset.
You can sit on our screened porch early in the morning and enjoy your breakfast among the beauty of nature without the press of humanity around you - or, perhaps catch a quite nap on one of our lounges. We also have a sundeck for sunbathing in the privacy of our home instead of traveling to the beach.
Our complimentary golf cart is provided for use of LICENSED DRIVERS ONLY. This cart allows you to slowdown, leave the car behind, and tour the island from end to end counting deer roaming on the island or hunting for an alligator in the lagoons along the roadways.
Beach access is assured as each road leading from the main road to the beach has public access. In order that you enjoy your stay, we provide beach umbrellas,surf floats,and sand chairs so you don't have to pack them. We also have a charcol grill should you desire to use it.
Whether you are looking for a quite place to read and refresh your spirit or a life style that is set up for family togetherness, Fripp Island offers a respite from the everyday routines of life.
Should you so desire,you may purchase amenity access cards to the resort pools, restaurants, tennis courts, etc. not located within the Sawgrass complex itself. There are bikes, kayaks, scooters, boats, and sunset dolphin watching tours available at extra charge on the island. These cards are required for anyone over 12 and cost $50 per week. Most of our renters seldom use them.
You will find our kitchen well supplied with appliances and the necessary items to enable your full dining and cooking pleasures.
Our appliances in the utility room were upgraded in 2007 with a new washer and dryer.
We have installed high speed internet (DSL)in our unit so you can keep up to date with all your contacts with hook up via an ethernet cable. We have an answering machine to catch all our your missed calls and all the electronic devices that we have gotten used to having.
You can park under our home and still have off street parking for three cars or perhaps you may bring your boat along.
Sleeping arrangements are as follows: Master Bedroom, queen, Bedroom #2, queen, Bedroom #3, full.
Our island is near historic Beaufort South Carolina with its historical tours and many eating establishments.
Once you have enjoyed the unspoiled life style of Fripp Island, walking the uncrowded beach where loggerhead turtles come to nest, you will wonder why you ever went anywhere else to get away from it all. Remember, vacations at the beach form memories that last forever.
No Smoking and No pets Please.
