New Tommy Bahama linens to elevate your stay. The bedrooms are sizable and allow for privacy, while the giant kitchen/island and back deck provide the gathering space for your entire crew. If you've never been to Fripp, it's hard to explain how special the island and beaches are until you see it for yourself; and this home is ideally located to make the most of it. It is very different than your typical, busy Myrtle Beach type of trip. I will provide you with tons of information so you know what to expect and can plan the best trip possible.

This gorgeous and generously appointed home has been refreshed throughout. It is ideally located near the club home and swimming pools but is only steps from the beach. Many locations on the island lose their beach during high tide, but the public access at the end of the driveway takes you to a permanent beach. Appreciate the salt-water breezes from 2 screened-in porches, a enormous deck, and huge front porch.

Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
