I have been visiting Fripp Island since the late 1970's with my family. I have since continued that tradition by bringing my family and now my grandchildren. We adore the great family ambiance Fripp has to offer. We savor all of that Fripp has it to offer for all ages.  It is spectacular how calming it is riding around the island in a golf cart. If you visit, you will adore it too.

When this unit came on the market in early 2022, we decided to make the purchase.  We have been renters of this villa for many, many years!  We appreciate the location for  the simple beach access and having the pool right outside the door.

We have made some updates to the unit, we hope you enjoy them-- 3 new Intelligent TVS, new couches,  and window treatments.

How to get the best Beaufort, SC vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• To get the best rental home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Best Location on Island - 314 Captain John Fripp has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• During check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
