About this property

Ocean Views Galore! 5 star reviews, easy beach & pool access. Cards, cart incl!

Our 5-star reviews say it all......Footprints is the perfect oasis and paradise for your vacation! From the moment you arrive, the house is designed for your fun and enjoyment!
Footprints in the Sand boasts the best of both, incredible ocean views in the front of the house along with amazing panoramic views of the Ocean Point Golf Course behind the house. Guests consistently rate Footprints with 5-stars and most say it is the best vacation rental house they've ever experienced and that Footprints "Feels like home". The housekeeping team ensures the house is pristine upon your arrival.

I designed and built the house to include every feature I felt was missing in a vacation rental. All rooms have views of the ocean and either access to a private balcony or the large Southern porches. The main floor has an exceptional open floor plan with a large family room, half bath off the foyer, open dining area and large master bedroom and ensuite master bath. The spacious and well-equipped kitchen is designed for large family gatherings with lots of counter space for helpers, double stainless steel ovens, dedicated ice machine, French door refrigerator and an extra tall mini fridge for overflow groceries. Chefs love the kitchen and a Weber grill is also available for outdoor cooking! The Master is upgraded with Posturepedic bedding, high quality sheets, hypo-allergenic pillows and flat screen t.v.,. The huge ensuite bath has an ADA seamless tile shower, soaker tub and a nice walk-in closet.

A golf cart along with four high quality adult cruiser bikes (plus bikes for the kiddies), nice quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach toys and high quality beach towels all come free with your rental. If your stay is seven nights or longer, two weekly amenity cards are included. Additional cards can be purchased through me, unlike other Hosts on the Island. The new owners of Fripp Island have added a mandatory 12.8% fee ( of the base rental rate only) for ALL PROPERTIES on the island.

The new fitness center is open and our beach access is less than a 2 minute walk to the best beach access on the island with an easy ramp (not a long boardwalk) for strollers and walkers! Don't be fooled by crowded "center island" or Tarpon locations, with no room to spread out and no beach at high tide. All pools are less than a 5 minute golf cart ride and faster by car.

If you need to work remotely and we hope you don't....but if you do...... there's a dedicated desk in the upstairs loft also with incredible views while you work.

Times are stressful and Footprints in the Sand is the perfect place to get away, relax and detox on this private island we call "Paradise"! We strive to ensure your safety and housekeeping adheres to CDC guidelines for cleaning and all duct work has been cleaned and sanitized for added comfort!

Footprints in the Sand is a professionally designed and decorated 5-star rated home by over 70 guests with fabulous beach and wildlife views! House is designed with hotel quality floors, quartz counter tops/sinks/faucets in kitchen and all baths, new fireplace surround, newly painted etc. Enjoy our close beach access to go back and forth to the house when you're at the beach! I LOVE the beach, but hate packing the "stuff" for a great vacation. No worries, we provide toiletries like a hotel, hair dryer in each bath, all linens, a golf cart, beach chairs, beach towels, beach wagon and bikes for all ages! Exploring the island in our golf cart or on the magnificent bike paths makes for the perfect vacation. What better way to get away!

Our Property Manager and Housekeeper are top-notch and use CDC recommended anti-bacteria products to keep Footprints sanitized and clean! To assist in contact free amenity cards, our property manager even delivers your amenity cards prior to your arrival at no extra charge and is available and responsive during your stay. Our goal is to ensure you have the best and safest vacation possible!

We're proud to be chosen by VRBO as a Premier Partner! This spacious showcase home sits across from the Atlantic Ocean at Fripp Island, named in Southern Living Magazine's top 10 picks for the "Most Amazing Island Getaway in the U.S."!


Our beloved author, Pat Conroy’s wife/author, Cassandra King, and her 'Same Sweet Girls' group have rented/stayed in our home several times and loved it!

- Upstairs has four comfy bedrooms, each with a uniquely appointed beach décor and all bedrooms have flat screen TVs!

- Two bedrooms face the ocean each with Queen beds, their own vanities/toilets and share a Jack and Jill shower. One of the Queen bedrooms has an additional twin bed. Both rooms open to the upper front deck looking onto the Atlantic Ocean where you can also enjoy the sunrise! A twin air mattress and pack n' play are available as well.

- The other two bedrooms view the golf course and have two twins in each room and if you'd prefer you have the option to convert the twins to a King! Each room has their own vanity and toilet, share a Jack and Jill shower and supplied with a high quality hair dryer. These bedrooms have their own private balconies to admire the ocean and sunsets as well!

We manage our home like an upscale hotel, furnishing all the baths with toiletries, hotel quality towels & linens for total pampering! Our property manager lives nearby to ensure everything runs smoothly during your vacation.

'Footprints in the Sand' is a pristine home that is exceptionally decorated with a cozy beach flair and has been included in Fripp Island Resort’s 'Tour of Homes'.

Handicap-friendly with secured WiFi, The yard is perfect for croquet, badminton or volley ball and the kids love to roller blade and ride bikes in our circular driveway too! One of our recent guests even had her bridal reception in the backyard overlooking the golf course and the sunset!

Come and enjoy this unbelievable vacation home!! All you have to pack is your personal items....we provide the rest!
Home can be rented Sat-Sat or Sun-Sun except during the Summer Season, when rental is Sat-Sat. We offer a lot of features and amenities that most rentals don't, so you and your group can enjoy an amazing vacation!

Great sisters getaway!
What a wonderful time we (six sisters with 3 brother-in-laws) had staying at Footprints! The house is immaculate and the hosts have thought of everything. Loved having access to the golf carts and bicycles. Seeing deer in the backyard every morning was such a treat. Even though the weather wasn't what we had hoped for, we enjoyed our time together. Pat was joy to work with and checked in regularly to make sure we didn't have any questions or need anything. Would absolutely love to stay here again.

Awesome House
The house was beautiful. Quick walk to the beach. Communication with the owner was easy with quick responses. Our first time on the island and it was so fun. We had the beach all to ourselves. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. We loved reading out on the front porch it is nice and shady with a lovely breeze and you can see the ocean. Would fully recommend.

Beautiful Beach Home. 5 stars!
The home is beautiful, well equipped, and very close to beach access. My family enjoyed time at the beach every day and the house was spacious and so comfortable. The house provides a golf cart, beach towels, bikes and a wagon to transport items to the beach. The property manager, Nancy is excellent and a pleasure to work with. The owner also called us to see if we needed anything. This is our 2nd time in the house and we look forward to many more! Thank you Pat and Nancy!

Beautiful home and Great location
We have stayed at many rentals on Fripp Island over the last 20 years. This house was one of our favorites...a few minutes walk to a nice and relatively quiet stretch of beach, plenty of space for the nine of us and an enormous living room/kitchen with a porch overlooking the golf course and a higher one in the direction of the ocean. My brother is an excellent cook and always picky about the kitchen rentals, how well-stocked they are etc and he loved this kitchen. Everything is clearly labeled, and the property manager and owner answered me immediately with questions. Golf cart AND bicycles included! (Not always the case). Plus lots of beach chairs and toys. All in all, we had an excellent week because the house was so great--makes all the difference for a stress-free vacation.
