Sea La Vie is a four bedroom 4.5 bath home of about 3,500 sq.ft. located on Fripp Island in the Low Country of South Carolina.

The gated community of Fripp Island represents the best of what the Low Country offers: Pristine beaches, an abundance of wildlife and a secure place for you and your family to relax and savor your time away from the rest of your life.
Sea La Vie, our home, represents an spectacular opportunity to experience all of this. "C'est la vie" roughly translates as "oh, well". And that's what you will say to yourself as you look around, smile, and settle into your vacation.

Spyglass, where our home is located, is a peninsula on the southern end of the island near Wardle's Landing. Sea La Vie presents ocean vistas from the front and a panorama of broad marsh and estuary vistas from the back. The sunsets are gorgeous. Wildlife is seen in abundance everywhere.

Whether you are looking for a peaceful place to read and refresh your spirit or a life style that is set up for family togetherness, Fripp Island offers a respite from the everyday routines of life. And Sea La Vie is the place to stay.

The home, a sprawling Cape Cod, has a huge wall of windows at the rear of the home with multiple screened sunrooms each side of a enormous great room. Everywhere gives you unbroken panoramas over the pristine unspoiled marsh around Skull Inlet.

Whether you choose to sit with your coffee on the front porch early in the morning as the sun comes up, watching the waves in Skull Inlet and across to Pritchard's Island or... you choose the rear deck or one of the screened sunrooms, you will find yourself surrounded by nature, an ideal environment to relax and leave the worries of the world behind.

Appreciate breakfast while counting the wildlife that flies by. How many eagles and ospreys will you see this morning? After that, there's the golf courses, the tennis courts and, of course, the beaches. Nothing beats the beaches of Fripp Island.
Sea La Vie is about a ten min. walk or a five min. golf cart ride to the beach.

Beach access is assured as there are over 30 accesses to the beach. To help you savor your stay, we provide beach towels, beach umbrellas, surf floats, sand chairs, and a few sand toys so that you don't have to pack them. 

What else? It's a 5 min. walk to the Nature Center where the naturalists will give you a tour of the wealth of island wildlife that they have at the center. The island's Activity Center is right there too. Great for the kids.

The Cabana Club & its pools, where you can appreciate the spectacular vistas across to Pritchard's Island and the ocean, take in a drink, or enjoy food from the restaurant, are located 100 yards further. There are nine pools scattered around the island that you have access to.

Spyglass is adjacent to Wardle's Landing which is a fishing and crabbing pier that juts out into Skull Inlet. Whether you are fishing, crabbing, watching the dolphins go by, or taking in the handsome sunsets, you'll enjoy the wonders of the South Carolina Low Country from this exceptional location. 

Once you've done with the day's activities and fun, you relax on the porches, decks, or in the sunrooms. 

You will find our kitchen well supplied with appliances and all of the necessary items to enable your full dining and cooking pleasures. There's a Weber gas grille on the deck for grilling your catch or your favorite steaks, burgers or sausages.

The home has high speed wireless internet (Hargray 200mbps) throughout. All TVs are Intelligent HDTVs with wireless access to the internet and complimentary Netflix.

TV Locations...Great Room, screened sunroom, upstairs lounge area, master bedroom, number 2 and number 3 bedrooms.

The home has ample parking, both under the home and around it. Two cars under and four in the driveways.

Our island is near historic Beaufort South Carolina with its historical tours and many fine eating establishments.

Once you have adored the unspoiled life style of Fripp Island, walking the uncrowded beach where loggerhead turtles come to nest, you will wonder why you ever went anywhere else to get away from it all. Remember, vacations at the beach form memories that last forever.

One more thing: No Smoking and No family pets allowed.

Our top Fripp Island vacation rental booking tips:

Get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in Fripp Island. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Beaufort, SC area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and choosing your prefectvacation home:

• Start by having your group decide on vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. 6 Spyglass Lane - Four Bedroom House, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
