Canal Front, Private Dock, Across Street from BEACH, Olympic Pool, Food Court!

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 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!) Perfect home! Amenity cards aren't included but we can get them for an additional charge (see explanation of these further down!)

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 in the fire pit!

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. Downstairs, one room has a queen and a twin and the other has a queen. The pull-out queen is in the sunroom which has a door to shut it off from the rest of the house. 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!

Amenity Cards: For first timers at Fripp, amenity cards are confusing. If you rent through individual owners who use VRBO, you have to purchase them through the owner. The owners have to be members of the resort to be able to offer them. They provide access to the resort amenities. All guests ages 13 and up need them. They are an additional cost to the price quoted through VRBO. We can however add them to your balance and you can pay through the VRBO site. We also accept venmo or checks. What amenities do they provide access to? They include golf, ability to rent golf carts or bikes, tennis and pickle ball courses, swimming pools, resort owned restaurants, and the ability to launch your boat at the marina. There is still a charge to be able to use all of these (except pools!)
There is a 12.8% base cost for these. This is calculated on your base rental rate before any fees. Plus each card has an individual cost (listed below.)
$50/card: Memorial Day - Labor Day for 4-7 days
$35/card: Memorial Day - Labor Day for for 1-4 days
$35/card: Fall, Winter, Spring for 4-7 days
$25/card: Fall, Winter, Spring for 1-4 days

If you are good old fashioned beach people and don't use any of these, there is no additional charge! There is also a deli at the marina and a deli at the beginning of the island where you don't need them!
