6 BR, 5 BA sleeps 12! Private dock on canal. Steps from beach! Golf cart too! - Vacation rental home in Fripp Island, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 12
• 6 Bedrooms
• 5 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

We have a cavernous home with 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms total in Treetops. The main level kitchen has newly been refreshed to optimize counter space and to include brand new appliances. The ground level of the home is accessed through outside stairs to include a 2nd kitchen, dining area, living room and 2 bedrooms, and a bathroom. We have 2 screened porches on the back side of the home overlooking the canal with AMPLE indoor and outdoor dining areas for families who are ready to CHILL! We seat 10 at a table on the main level inside with another 3 at the bar and a table that seats 6 on the upper screened porch next to the swing. Downstairs the dining room seats 8 with 4 more on the lower screened porch. We have 2 master bedrooms upstairs with king beds, a twin bedroom, and a queen. Downstairs there is a set of bunk beds in 1 bedroom and a queen in the other. The two front bedrooms upstairs open to the front porch for a peaceful place to sit and the two back bedrooms overlook the private dock and canal. You can dock a boat at our dock 24/7 and kayaks are comfortably launched from there as well. A 4-seater golf cart comes with the rental rental as well. We just require you to reserve the golf cart and they will happily deliver it to you and charge us for it. We have a full size gas grille and TVs in the living areas as well as 3 bedrooms on the main level. We have 2 full sized fridges so that you have plenty of room for food/drinks. For your convenience, we have a crockpot for the home and a Keurig for each kitchen. We also have a regular carafe coffee maker in both kitchens. We have elegant beach decor throughout the home. This is a peaceful setting as it sits off the road somewhat which also accepts for ample parking and yet you are steps away from all of the activities at the Beach Club, the tennis courts, and most importantly, the BEACH! We are able to get as many amenities cards as you need for all guests over 13 years of age who would like to eat at the eateries, play golf or tennis on the island, swim in the pools, or rent equipment on Fripp. These are an additional charge to the renter as we charge you what the island charges us. For renters who would like to purchase luxury cards, there is a new resort fee that will be added to your rental rate. This will be 12.8% of your rental fee, and this is the case for the entire island. We would adore for you to come and savor Treetops!

Tips to get the very best rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Beaufort, SC vacation home:

• First, have your family commit to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. 6 BR, 5 BA sleeps 12! Private dock on canal. Steps from beach! Golf cart too! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
