About this property

Large Home on Marsh, Party Deck, Game Rm, Two Golf Carts, 8 Bikes, Elevator, ADA

2.5 Minute Golf Cart Ride to the Beach...we even supply the Golf Carts!

BEAUTIFUL MARSH VIEWS, Sleeps 15, ADA+Elevator includes Two 6-Seater Golf Carts and 8 Bikes at ~ No Extra Charge!

Marshmellow is so insanely sweet; everyone will want s'more. There is no better way to reconnect with family, friends, and nature than with a relaxing stay at the luxurious Marshmellow. This beautifully decorated 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home with four screened porches is ideal for multigenerational families to enjoy the Low Country. There are three King Suites, including one with an ADA-compliant bathroom and shower on the main level, accessible by an elevator on the ground level. Guests with walkers or wheelchairs can be in the heart of the action with the option of a serene retreat nearby.

The spacious open great room, dining area, and open kitchen invite large families or groups to gather and create new memories. In the great room, guests can enjoy the large-screen SMART TV and stereo above the 'Instant On' gas fireplace from the large sectional sofa or the game table area. The dining area seats 10 at the table with stools for 5 more guests at the bartop, which overlooks the dream kitchen. This space transitions to a broad screened-in porch with rockers and additional soft cushion seating. Panoramic views of the marsh and incredible sunsets, rich with wildlife and drenched in ever-changing colors, mesmerize from dawn to dusk.

Whether your group is cooking traditional family dishes or experimenting with gourmet recipes, the family's chefs will appreciate the fully-stocked kitchen's high-end appliances and cooking essentials. This entertainer's paradise includes a gas and charcoal grill, grilling tools, a large pot for low-country boils, charcuterie, and serving platters for indoor or outdoor celebrations. The Cuisinart Coffee Maker Barista System is a delight to experiment with your flavored coffees and cappuccinos. Brew filtered 12-cup carafes, individual K-Cups, or Pods. The machine accepts Espresso & Nespresso compatible capsules and has a steam wand to frothed milk.

The vibe in the second bedroom on the main level is perfect for guests who want a separate place to hang out. This spacious room includes a daybed with Westin luxury twin mattresses and can also serve double duty as an office, TV room, or game room.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and three full baths with porch access! The large primary bedroom with a king-size bed, sitting area, Pull-down laptop desk and stool, SMART LED TV, and ensuite bath spans the entire length of the home! The lavish primary bath pampers guests with his-and-her vanities, a jetted tub, a large shower, and a private water closet. The bathroom is large enough to set up our full-size crib and still have privacy for parents with plenty of room.

The second primary bedroom also includes a king-size bed and private bath, SMART TV/VCR, and a rocker for relaxing. The third upstairs bedroom with bunk beds (five total twin beds) and SMART TV is perfect for adults, children, and teens. The second-floor, marsh-front screened-in porch is the perfect place to talk or read, listen to the noises of nature, and relax before bed.

Also, do you have young children in your family? We got you! The rental includes a full-size crib, an adjustable high chair, and a Pack' N Play. You can lighten your load and not have to haul all of this equipment to the beach. Also, there are lots of board games and puzzles to keep everyone happy if there is a rainy day during your stay.

Marshmellow's interiors are stunning, but the huge 24' x 18' Party Deck makes the biggest splash. With ample seating for dozens of guests, a bar, and both charcoal and gas grills, every day can be a celebration. This picturesque event space has hosted weddings, yoga retreats, large family reunions, and many Parris Island graduation parties for up to 25 people.

On the ground level, the outside shower is a convenient way to rinse off after a day at the beach. Two parking pads adjoin two large garage bays, providing parking for 4 vehicles. We own additional homesites right down the street for guests to park if more than four cars are needed for your party.

As a bonus, our weekly rentals include TWO 6-person Club Car Golf Carts with ADA access stickers for direct beach access for family and friends who are unable to walk down to the ocean. This amenity is unique to Fripp and so rewarding for guests with disabilities or advanced age. Also, there are 8 bikes of all sizes for you to enjoy. This is a $1,200+ value added to the rental—for free.

Located on Davis Love Drive, Marshmellow is directly across from the Ocean Creek Golf Course, where you can watch golfers from a rocker or swing teeing off from the #2 and # 18 holes on the Ocean Creek Golf course. The course is recognized as one of the top golf courses in South Carolina by Golf Magazine, with a 4.5-star rating. Ocean Point Golf Course, designed by George W. Cobb, is a short cart ride away. Golf instruction is available for both adults and kids as young as four years of age.

FANTASTIC PROPERTY!!!

The home is spectacular!!! Amenities were great and it has the most well-equipped kitchen of any rental I've had! Only suggestion would be that the screen be replaced on the main level back porch and another chair or two on that porch. We loved sitting out there!!! I would absolutely rent again if we go to Fripp another time!!!

Beautiful!

This home is beautiful and was a great asset to our vacation. 91 year old Dad was able to use the elevator and golf carts were extra handy, especially with handicapped access availability on the beach. The screened porch in back was a great morning coffee/bird watching/family gathering spot. ABSOLUTELY recommend this place!

Long Relaxing Weekend

We needed a place with private BRs/BAs and an elevator. This place was perfect. The home had been modified to allow wheelchair mobility. We spent mornings on the screen porch, days at the pool or beach, and evenings relaxing in the den. Kitchen was well stocked. Great marsh views and responsive host. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Joan Barnes and David Patzke, Owners

Host profile image
4RentOnFripp,LLC owns the luxury vacation home on the Marsh at Fripp Island, SC. Joan and her husband Dave are both active owners who make sure your vacation is the best it can be.

Why they chose this property

We came to Fripp Island as something new and different to do with the kids for vacation. They enrolled in Camp Fripp and we took off on the golf cart exploring the island and just fell in love. Now with this home and 6 homesites, we still enjoy the magic of Fripp.

What makes this property unique

The party deck has two picnic tables with benches, a round conversation table with 4 chairs, a bar, built in seating around the perimeter, grill and the most amazing sunsets on Fripp each night! A water house is built-in so for nights when you want to have a low country boil with friends and family, your clean up is as easy as a few good minutes with the hose and you are ready for the next meal. Kids of all ages love the deck.
