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 appreciate all of that Fripp has it to offer for all ages.  It is amazing how calming it is riding around the island in a golf cart. If you visit, you will appreciate 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 painless 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.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

Finding your best deal:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Beaufort, SC area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.
