This uniquely designed, well-lived-in, octagonal home is one of the Island's original homes. Beachfront and immediately adjacent to the trendy and gorgeous beach access #12, this is one of the most convenient locations on the Island.

This home is ideal for sizable family groups and get-togethers, one of the few homes on the Island that can sleep up to 20 guests in the 17 beds. The cavernous open floor plan of the living room, dining room, and kitchen area upstairs accepts everybody in the group to be together for meals and fun. Nature surrounded boardwalk leads down to a marsh and then the beach.

Both living rooms have a 32" intelligent TV with cable. Streaming only in bedrooms. The second living room on the first floor (den) is complete with 2nd refrigerator and foosball table. Outdoor shower for washing off after the beach. Private boardwalk leading to the main boardwalk.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Finding the best rental home in Fripp Island:

• To start, have your family agree to trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. 713 Winter Trout - New to VRBO! Resort Access Included! has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If not, contact the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Beaufort, SC attraction you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
