About this property
Canal Front, Private Dock, Steps to BEACH, Pool, Food! Resort Access included!
Look no further!! We offer it all- beach and canal!! This house is truly the best location on the island and allows easy access to all the island's activities! We are a canal-front home with a private dock, across the street from the beach, next to the tennis and pickle ball courts, across the street from olympic pool, adult pool, restaurants and shopping! We are less than 100 yards from beach access 16 - which has sand regardless of the tide! (This is an incredible bonus considering some beachfront homes don't have any beach during high tide or have a huge hike to actually get to the water!) We are also INCLUDING 2 Amenity cards with rental! Perfect home!
Once you visit our home you will want to return! This home has generations of love and laughter. It has an open floor plan so you can talk to the chef while sitting on the back porch overlooking the marsh! Downstairs you can follow a family tradition and have an oyster roast on the built in grill!
ADVENTURE/ACTIVITIES: If you feel the need to venture further, you can go to two different wonderful golf courses, a marina, five different restaurants, several pools, and a fitness center! You can also explore the island on quiet roads and extensive bike trails. There is a lot of wildlife to be seen including alligators, pelicans, osprey, dolphins, crabs, and a lot of deer! There are also many great shells to be found on the beach. It is like your own little mini zoo!
If you wish to get intimately involved with wildlife, you can bring home dinner by going crabbing and fishing off our dock. You can also bring your boat and launch it at the marina or another close public launch.
Fripp also offers Camp Fripp, a children's recreation center where the kids can explore the island while mom and dad golf, play tennis, or just sit by the pool. There are organized activities for the older kids as well.
ISLAND FACTS: Fripp Island is a pristine 3000-acre private, gated island 19 miles outside of Beaufort, South Carolina. The island has three and a half miles of beautiful beaches. Several movies have been filmed on the island including Forrest Gump, Jungle Book, and The Prince of Tides. The authors Pat Conroy and Cassandra King chose to call the island home for a brief while.
HOUSE INFO: This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home has an outdoor covered porch and an enclosed sunroom. There is a king in one room upstairs and a queen in the other room. The pull-out queen is in the sunroom which has a door to shut it off from the rest of the house. Downstairs, one room has a queen and a twin and the other has a queen. PLEASE NOTE: you have to go outside to get to downstairs rooms. ALL OF THE ROOMS HAVE A TV!!! There is a wonderful view of the canal with a private dock. Downstairs there is a screen porch with an enclosed charcoal grill, a ping pong table, and of course a washer and dryer. The kitchen has all of the essentials and then some. You will surely want to enjoy it!
The house was originally intended to be a fishing camp. The downstairs was going to be for all my Grandpa's rowdy friends. The upstairs was supposed to be for the more refined guests! That being said - YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO GO FROM THE UPSTAIRS ROOMS TO THE DOWNSTAIRS ROOMS. Some people find this charming. Some find it bewildering. I like to escape downstairs!
The cost of this rental INCLUDES the resort fee and 2 amenity cards!! That is a huge savings to you! If you wish to purchase additional cards the prices are listed below. They are purchased through the owner.
$55/card: Memorial Day - Labor Day for 4-7 days $39/card: Memorial Day - Labor Day for for 1-4 days $39/card: Fall, Winter, Spring for 4-7 days $28/card: Fall, Winter, Spring for 1-4 days
Amenity cards ARE needed for the resort restaurants, golfing, tennis, paddle ball, access to pools, boat rental, paddle board rental. Amenity cards ARE NOT needed for springtide deli, marina deli, golf cart rentals, bike rentals, and frolicking at the beach.
If you decide you don't need the amenity cards, I'll REFUND you 10% of your base price!!

We had a wonderful time at this lovely beach house! The kitchen has everything you would need, the beds were very comfortable and you couldn't beat the location. We enjoyed sunset and sunrise on both porches and the sun room was just perfect for all afternoon nap in the A/C. 10/10!
Second time staying at this property and we loved it. Conveniently located across from beach access 16 and own private fishing dock. Property has plenty of toys and beach chairs. Kitchen was equipped with extra cooking items. Will definitely stay here again.
Location, locationThis house is in a beautiful and convenient location on the island. The beach is a block across the street and the canal access and views are wonderful. Even though it is an older house it was comfortable, has a well equipped kitchen and spacious. Marcie was easy to reach when we had questions.
Lovely to stay at a home that matches the description on VRBO. Very laid back, on a canal, deer roaming daily. We did not need ammenity cards so exchanged for refund. Owner extremely easy to work with and very accommodating. Will definitely book again!!Thank you for helping make our long weekend extra special.
House was super close to the beach and the dock was awesome! Owner was incredibly responsive and attentive! Fripp is an amazing vacation spot for family of all ages and we will be returning soon!
We loved every minute of our stay at this house! Perfect location, easy communication, and very affordable for what we were looking to experience! We will most definitely be booking here again :)
Wonderful location walking distance to beach and pools. Upstairs comfortable with 2 BR’s and plenty of seating for group. Nice view of canal out back. Downstairs BR’s OK. A bit awkward how up and down only connect outside, but it was clear before booking. Couple of missing fixtures and burned out bulb and grill was too grungy to use. Hostess very kind and responsive to text.

Thanks for all the kind words! We have ordered a new outdoor grill! We have also reached out to confirm what the missing fixtures are and will resolve them asap! We want to have zero problems for renters so they can focus on having a great time!
We have been coming to Fripp for nearly 40 years, and this was a great location for a reunion. The house is private despite being right next to the tennis club, and the beach is very close - excellent for small legs! The kitchen was well stocked with essentials, and our host was responsive and friendly. Thank you so much for a great holiday!
We adored this house! I was right next to the tennis villas and across from the beach club . But it was situated far back from the road, once you pulled up to the house you felt completely hidden. The crabbing dock was a wonderful bonus and even though we caught just one, it was wonderful to teach my kids one of my favorite pastimes. Marci was an excellent communicator and was so very helpful. We're already planning a return trip.
House was great for our family. Very close to the nearby resort facilities but felt private at the same time. Dock on canal and large backyard were great. House has a beachy / old-school vibe, but beds were super comfortable, house was clean and bug-free (not easy to achieve in this area). All appliances, etc worked great. Would definitely stay again!
Enjoyed our stay! Owner was accommodating and easy to reach. Property was clean and located in a great spot on the island! Plenty of parking. Beautiful dock and view! Loved the hangings in the hallway depicting yearly family gatherings! Super creative and special!
Wonderful location. Right on the canal and across from the beach. Marcie went above and beyond helping me figure out the amenities cards. So huge thanks for a great sisters weekend.
We loved the house and its location. The external stairs was not a problem for our group. Having the dock on the canal gave opportunities forots of great activities during down time when not at the beach.
Best trip to Fripp!!! This was first time for us staying canal side and we loved it. The kids enjoyed setting and checking the crab baskets and the adults loved to fish from dock.

Location was great however I did not realize you have to go outside to go to downstairs bedrooms and the screen door was broken. Downstairs was dirty and needed cleaning especially chairs and floor. Also the info stated toiletries and one roll of paper towels were supposed to be provided but were not.

Carolyn - I am sorry about the lack of toiletries. In the future please note that I am always available to aid in things like these. I will also speak to the folks who clean between guests and ensure this doesn't happen again.
As for the downstairs, I am going next week to see what is happening there. I will speak to the crew who cleans about this as well. We want all our guest to have an amazing time and not have to worry about those things!
I hope the rest of your visit was great!
About the host
Hosted by Marcie Hansen
This house was built by my grandprents in the 1960's. It has been a family haven ever since. My parents own it now. We have family vacations there once a year where we boat, swim, crab, bike, golf cart and get into all sorts of trouble!! I rent the house for them and remember visiting my Grandmother there when I was a kid. She made the craziest food and we had to eat it without complaining! I still can't eat cold soup!! We have so many family memories there, it is a vital part of our lives. We love it when people rent the house and develop some of their own memories!
What makes this property unique
This map doesn't show the canal for some reason. it is there right behind the house! Fripp Island is like any other place in the world. It is an experience you won't forget!!
