Guests consistently rate Footprints with 5-stars and say it is the best vacation rental home they've ever experienced and that Footprints "Feels like home". The housekeeping team ensures the home is pristine upon your arrival. A golf cart, bicycles for all ages, quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach towels, hotel quality linens/towels/toiletries all come with your rental! Two weekly luxury cards are also included with a weekly rental.

I designed and constructed the home to include every feature I felt was missing in a vacation rental. All rooms have vistas of the ocean and either access to a private balcony or the sizable Southern porches. The main floor has an exceptional open floor plan with a huge family room, half bath off the entryway, open dining area and huge master bedroom and ensuite master bath. The roomy and well-equipped kitchen is designed for sizable family gatherings with tons of counter space for helpers, double stainless steel ovens, dedicated ice machine, French door refrigerator and an additional tall mini refrigerator for overflow groceries. Chefs appreciate the kitchen and a Weber grille is also available for outdoor cooking! The Master is upgraded with Posturepedic linens, high quality sheets, hypo-allergenic pillows and flat screen t.v.,. The giant ensuite bath has an ADA seamless tile shower, soaker tub and a nice walk-in closet.

A golf cart along with four high quality adult cruiser bicycles (plus bicycles for the kiddies), nice quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach toys and high quality beach towels all come complimentary with your rental. If your stay is seven nights or longer, two weekly amenities cards are supplied. Additional cards can be purchased through me, unlike other Hosts on the Island. The new owners of Fripp Island have added a mandatory 12.8% fee ( of the base rental rate only) for ALL RENTAL PROPERTIES on the island.

The new exercise center is open and our beach access is less than a 2 min. walk to the best beach access on the island with an simple ramp (not a long boardwalk) for strollers and walkers! Don't be fooled by busy "center island" or Tarpon locations, with no room to spread out and no beach at high tide. All pools are less than a 5 min. golf cart ride and faster by car.

If you need to work remotely and we hope you don't....but if you do...... there's a dedicated desk in the upstairs loft also with amazing vistas while you work.

Times are stressful and Footprints in the Sand is the ideal place to get away, relax and detox on this private island we call "Heaven"! We strive to ensure your safety and housekeeping adheres to CDC guidelines for cleaning and all duct work has been cleaned and sanitized for added comfort!

Footprints in the Sand is a professionally designed and decorated 5-star rated home by over 70 guests with marvelous beach and wildlife vistas! House is designed with hotel quality floors, quartz counter tops/sinks/faucets in kitchen and all baths, new fireplace surround, freshly painted etc. Savor our close beach access to go back and forth to the home when you're at the beach! I LOVE the beach, but hate packing the "stuff" for a great vacation. No worries, we provide toiletries like a hotel, hair dryer in each bath, all linens, usb ports in all bedrooms, a golf cart, beach chairs, beach towels, beach wagon and bicycles for all ages! Exploring the island in the golf cart supplied or on the elegant bicycle paths with our bicycles, makes for the ideal vacation. What better way to get away!

Our Property Manager and Housekeeper are top-notch and use CDC recommended anti-bacteria products to keep Footprints sanitized and clean! To assist in contact complimentary conveniences cards, our property manager even delivers your luxury cards prior to your arrival at no additional charge and is available and responsive during your stay. Our goal is to ensure you have the best and safest vacation possible!

Our top Vacation rental tips:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer months are high season in Fripp Island. Book your Beaufort, SC rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Fripp Island:

• To start, have your family commit to a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Ocean Views Galore!! 5 star reviews, easy beach & pool access. Cards, cart incl! has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
