If you have never been to Fripp before you are in for a treat. Fripp is a private island with no commercialization. Most people park their cars upon arrival and only travel by golf cart during their stay. The island is 1 mile wide and 3 miles long. Our home is located in the dead center just off of the main road (on a cul de sac) with the beach in one direction and the marina in the other. At the marina you can take shell excursions, Dolphin tours, rent paddle boards, or dock your boat. The beach offers chair and umbrella units with beach accesses every block. The "adult" pool is just off of the beach and offers a ocean side bar for drinks. There are 7 pools at Fripp including a kiddy pool, adult pool, Olympic pool, and one heated pool (don't plan on it being a hot tub but warmer than the rest.) There are also playgrounds, volley ball, and basket ball courts. The beach club offers a number of planned activities that you will find in a hand out you will receive at the guard gate upon arrival. Some of these include corn hole tournaments, Sand sculpture contest, pool side bingo, golf cart scavenger hunts and family karaoke nights. For the kids there is Camp Fripp (by reservation) and a nature center.

Bath towels are included but bring your own beach towels. Washer and dryer in unit. One roll of paper towels and one roll per bathroom of toilet paper is supplied along with bed linens.

Tips to get the perfect Fripp Island rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Choosing and booking the best Beaufort, SC vacation home:

• First, have your group commit to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Cozy Fripp cottage on quite cul de sac has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC destination you love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
