Welcome to our newest Surf Shack! Our recently purchased Surf Shack IV is on Fripp Island in the Fiddlers neighborhood, right off of Tarpon. We are across the street from “Hannah’s Park", on a large, wooded lot with southern front porches, rocking chairs and fans to keep the salty ocean air moving.
Surf Shack IV does not have a rental history but we have had several groups of friends stay to give us feedback so we could provide the best vacation for you and your group....
"We got to stay here a couple of weeks ago, and we miss it badly. The neighborhood is quiet and calm. It was easy to take walks, to ride bikes and to head over to Hannah’s Park, just across the street. This Southern beach house is taking on a great, fun personality, with double rocking chair porches and set under the shade of pine trees and palm trees. Most of the furniture and appliances in the house are brand new. It was very clean, comfortable and relaxing! Coming in off the hot, sandy beach, I loved the AC staying at a consistent temperature throughout the house. I loved that there was plenty of hot water. LOL! I loved the large dining table for all of us to sit around while we ate and played cards. I loved rocking on the porch in the cool night air listening to the night noises and, later, rocking in the early, still mornings watching the deer hanging out in the yard. And, I loved sleeping on cool, fresh sheets and a very comfortable mattress! We hope to return next year!"
Everything in the house has been newly purchased with your best and most comfortable experience in mind. We allow you to have full control over the thermostat during your stay. We have ceiling fans and added some standing fans too. There is also an air purifier to collect allergens.
We sleep 13 in beds with all new mattresses, organic linens, Casper pillows, and ample lighting for reading while you drift off to sleep. Or if TV is your preference, we just added new TV’s in all bedrooms.
We include a Limo golf cart for touring the island, going to dinner or the short ride to your favorite beach access! We have 31 beach accesses and they all have different paths, board walks, and views!
We also include 8 beach bikes, beach chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards. In the large yard, there is a fire pit with Adirondack chairs and a hammock swing. And in the garage you can enjoy a fun game of Ping Pong on our new table with new equipment.
We have an extra refrigerator in the garage, large washer & dryer, place to hose off. We also have a weber charcoal grill and a new gas grill with a burner for you to use.
We include a Hunting Island State Park pass for you to enjoy while renting Surf Shack IV. Climb the lighthouse, walk the “bone yard”, find your favorite shell or our favorite hobby, searching for sharks teeth and other cool fossils.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a great time. House was perfect. Kids loved riding the bikes. Golf cart came in very handy each day. Lots of deer for kids to pet. Kathy always responded to our questions immediately. We liked the entire vibe of Fripp Island. Everyone we encountered was warm and friendly. We extended our stay we enjoyed it so much. We will return next year, God willing.

You guys were such a pleasure. We love that you had such a fun time. We can’t wait for you to come back and fill our house and island with joy! We need lots more folks just like you to come and have a great vacation on Fripp Island, Kathy
This was our 3rd family visit to Fripp. This place did not disappoint. Kathy was super helpful and extremely responsive. The house had plenty of space and the location was phenomenal!! The Fiddlers Cove neighborhood is quiet and perfect. The crab dock and close park makes it a great spot for families. The fire pit was led to an unexpected great night. We will be back!!

Thank you so much Dave. We love that you enjoyed your time on Fripp and at our house. And we super love that you had an unexpected great night around the fire pit! Seems like a night around the fire pit will bring out the laughter or the tears. And if you’re lucky, maybe both! We’d love to have you back. Thank you again, Kathy
Our family had an amazing experience staying here for Christmas! The property is beautiful, spacious, clean, and offers many amenities. The host is very communicative and instructions were clear. The island speaks for itself with endless nature and wildlife. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are beyond happy that you had a good Christmas at our house. And so happy that you enjoyed the island too. We’d love to have you come back and stay with us again, Kathy
Location on the island was perfect. We stay every year but have never stayed near the front and it was super convenient. For the price the house was great. The property manager provided excellent communication.
The fire pit was awesome! Thank you for providing wood. Small kitchen but well stocked. Not a lot of pantry storage but we made it work. Beautiful home! My grandsons loved the deer!!
Great accommodations, centrally located loaded with extra comforts away from home and super clean! Fripp island for the win with a wonderful place to stay! We really loved our visit to the island and it was made better by the lovely rental. Also really good communications. Fire pit was a win too. Thank you!

Thank you so so much! What a nice review and we appreciate it. We do try very hard to have everything one might need and if you do need something just let us know as we live right around the corner and love a quick golf cart ride. Thanks for staying with us. Hurry back when you can, Kathy
The mattresses and pillows were unexpectedly comfortable.
We appreciated the golf cart, bikes and fire pit.

I love to hear this!! We were very careful in picking the mattresses and pillows. And we are happy that you enjoyed the golf cart. Come back when you can, Kathy.
Loved our stay at Fiddlers Cove! We were two families wiht teenagers spending Spring Break together. The house was fantastic. It was clean and had everything we needed. The golf cart and bikes made it easy for everyone to get whereever we needed to be. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the great vacation!

We are so happy to hear about the fun that you had. We forget about how unique it is that the deer are so friendly. We are just so used to it. It is very special. Thank you for staying with us, Kathy.
We LOVED our stay on Fripp Island! It was the perfect home for our family. We had various questions during our stay and the owner/manager was very quick to respond and offer support during our stay. We loved having access to the bikes and the golf cart. We used them every single day of our stay there. It was such a special time that we had together as a family with the grandparents celebrating our daughters high school graduation!We would love to come again and stay in this family friendly home!

Thank you Jenny. This is exactly what we hoped our Fripp home would provide! A fun family time with bike riding and great memories. We are so happy you had a fun time. Come back when you can and thank you for staying with us, Kathy
This was our 10th year coming to Fripp. We try to stay at a different property each year so that we can experience each unique area of the island. This home was exactly as described and perfect for our stay! Kathy was quick to respond to any question I had and made check in/out as smooth as possible. We’re looking forward to staying here again!

You guys were the best! Thank you so much for choosing our house to stay at for your vacation. Just the nicest folks! We appreciate it a lot, Kathy
We had a great time and the golf cart and ping pong table were nice amenities for the kids. We had an issue with the TV and trash but both were resolved quickly. Condo is updated and cute decor. Kitchen is really small but we took turns in the kitchen and dining area is spacious. Always received quick responses and would recommend to others. Right near the store on the island which was nice.
Great location where it was quiet and out of all the big crowds. Convenient to get to the market.
The doors I would have liked to completely close for more privacy and a better noise barrier. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!!! The kitchen is small, but as others have said well equipped. Great location.
Thank you!
Everything was great about the property! We enjoyed the bicycles, golf carts (there were two 4-seaters instead of one 6-seater). The house was clean and well-appointed. It had everything we needed! Recommend! A++
