About this property

Gorgeous Canal Home - Fantastic Central Location - just steps to the best Beach

Sitting on the canal with the striking views from morning 'till night and the best beach accesses 16 & 17 directly across the street, Drift House will be your dream home away from home! Nestled amongst towering palms and some of the most beautiful live oak trees, this 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home is perfect for you. Recently updated with new interior, double sitting area, kitchen, wet bar and dining area, baths, deck, screen porch, and dock. Cathedral ceilings in this reverse floor plan give an open feel to the common areas. Enjoy the screen porch as you watch the dolphins and birds play in the canal. Crab and fish off your private dock. Enjoy the huge deck with the gas grill in the evenings.

In the best location on the island, Drift House is less than a four minute walk to the Fripp Island Club - its pools, dining facilities, tennis and pickleball courts.

Beautiful nature all around you, mesmerizing canal views, and that easygoing Lowcountry vibe - all just steps from the beach. With the same delightful breeze. You will not want to leave!

We look forward to welcoming you to Drift House.

The Fripp Island Club and its facilities were recently acquired by new ownership, who are making substantial improvements around the island. They have placed a brand new 12.8% tax on all rentals for which amenity cards will be purchased. We have had to adjust our prices upward in order to pay that tax. If you are interested in renting without the purchase of amenity cards, we would be happy to adjust the daily rates accordingly downward.

We include a golf cart with all weekly rentals.

Amazing 2023 Fripp Trip

A fantastic property on Fripp! Well cared for and very family friendly. Close to everything on the island…beach, pools and activities. Our kids loved fishing off the canal dock, caught several fish, as well as a sting ray :0 Peter was great to work with. Highly recommend this property!!

Perfect place to stay on Fripp

This home is delightful, all details were exactly as pictured and described. Extremely clean, well appointed and well stocked, and perfect location on the island. Our group of 4 adults and 5 children ages 10-13 had the perfect week. Highly recommend!

Location location setting!!!

The home is beautiful and well appointed with all the desired kitchen stuff and tons of seating inside and out. The yard and dock off the back was put to great use, fishing and relaxing in the hammock and we spent a LOT of time on the screen porch. Close to amenities yet feels private with beautiful trees and foliage-great bird watching-gorgeous! Beds are all very comfortable! Peter was very responsive and a great host!

We loved Drift House!

Our family would highly recommend Drift House. It had everything we needed for our family of 6 adults and 4 children under 8 years old. We ate in most meals and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect! It's a short walk to the beach, one of the pools and to get ice cream. :) It's a short walk to the pickleball courts which we also enjoyed using one evening. We also enjoyed the spacious yard and having a canal in our backyard. Our 8 year old grandson lowered a crab trap into the water from the floating dock and checked on it no less than 10 times a day. Every day he caught something and his excitement was priceless. He and his dad spent time fishing off the dock as well. We rented bikes and the trails make it safe for young children so a family bike ride to the playground was a lot of fun. While the one pool is walkable, the other one we took the golf cart while some rode bikes. It's a little too far for young children but an easy ride for adults. Probably the best room in the house, in my opinion, is the large screened in porch. It was fun to sit out there and eat meals...and the table was big enough for all 10 of us to sit around....and watch the deer walk by in the morning and evenings. We hope to return to Fripp Island and Drift House would be our top choice when it comes to accommodations. I must also mention Peter was the best host. I had numerous questions prior and after booking and he graciously replied to each and every email. Thank you once again for letting us use your home, Peter. We made countless memories to look back on for years to come.

About the host

Hosted by Peter

Friends and family are the primary components of my life. I worked in the hospitality industry, so relationships are at the forefront of both my personal and my professional life. Cooking, entertaining, skiing, traveling and organizing fun travel events are what I love. And sports in general.

Why they chose this property

Everyone craves the escape, that one place where you can leave the world behind, just be in the moment, relax, and renew... That is Drift House.

What makes this property unique

Fripp Island is an incredible nature preserve private island located between Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC; 1 hour from Hilton Head Island. The island is a private, gated resort community with 2 scenic championship golf courses (one a renowned Davis Love III Signature design), a tennis complex (clay, hardcourts, and pickle) and a variety of pool options including an ocean/marsh front complex housing and a heated pool.

Drift House is at the center of it all.
