Solaia (pronounced so- lī- ya), is of Italian origin and means a place where the energy of the sun radiates. 475 Tarpon Boulevard demonstrates, in real-life, the real estate adage of: location, location, location! Solaia really provides the best of both worlds: fast and simple access to both the canal and to the beach.

Solaia appeals to individuals and families who appreciate the countless possibilities of access to a private pier and a private floating dock at the rear of the home. A freshly installed KayaArm on the dock, provides ease and stability for embarking on trips via kayak or paddle board (available for rental drop-off and pick up by various local stores) to discover the canal or Fripp marshes. Guests have reported dolphin sightings and have also adored fishing and crabbing directly from the dock.

Fripp Beach Access #29 is just steps away from Solaia's front steps. The proximity of the beach to Solaia means you do not need to use a golf cart to drive to the beach and you also need not lug loads of beach gear to and from the beach (unless, of course, you want to)! If the family gets hungry during their beach adventures, they can just walk back to the home, shower off the sand in Solaia's outdoor shower and prepare lunch in the kitchen. If more beaching is desired, it is just steps away! Fripp beach water is so warm, you could swim and body board for hours!

Quick and painless access to canal and beach also means you have access to the acclaimed, spectacular low country sunrises and sunsets! The screened porch at the rear of the home provides a comfortable setting for viewing if guests don't want to walk to the dock or have difficulty walking. There is also a front porch with rocking chairs where guests savor vistas of the ocean and gaze at the stars and moon at nighttime. Fripp is an outdoor enthusiast's (including golf and tennis, of course!), beach-lover's, nature-lover's, photographer's and history buff's heaven. There is just so much to do and see!

Finding the best Fripp Island rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Beaufort, SC area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in Fripp Island. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation home in the Beaufort, SC area:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. 475 Tarpon Blvd - New to VRBO! Resort Access Included! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
