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 savor the countless possibilities of access to a private pier and a private floating dock at the rear of the home. A newly 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 appreciated 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 appreciate 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!
