About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms

• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1450 square feet

I am happy to share my second home with you. You will have the entire place to yourself. We provide a 4-seat golf cart, body boards, beach chairs and umbrella. Amenity cards are available for purchase to Fripp Island Resort, which give you access to golf (you can see the 16th tee box through the window), swimming pools, eateries on the island, tennis, pickleball and much more. There is also plenty to savor without the cards: beach, cycling, watching wildlife, etc!

We are sandwiched between the Ocean Point Golf Course and the Ocean! Walk, drive bicycle or cart around our striking neighborhood with beautiful vistas and vibrant wildlife. Take a hike on a close by trail, or hit the beach from one of 30+ beach accesses. Head to the beach club (amenities cards required) for drinks, food, pool, exercise center, tennis or pickle ball. Or book your tee time on one of two manicured and spectacular golf courses. Catch some fresh seafood for dinner, and don’t forget to take the kids to the activity center and make a stop at Hunting Island State Park (pass supplied). Some facilities are open seasonally on Fripp and Hunting Islands.

We provide a golf cart for cruising the island. There’s plenty of cart parking at the beach access points. You can also get around the island comfortably by car. Car parking is available at the Marina, Ocean Point GC, the Beach Club, Tennis Club, Wardle Point, Ocean Creek GC, and the stores at Springtide Market. Many people choose to rent bicycles for getting around the island, and it’s also a handsome walk on well-maintained sidewalks and nature trails.

I look forward to hosting you!

Strategies to get the optimal Beaufort, SC vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Birdie's Bungalow on Fripp - Across from Golf and Ocean - Cards Avail\/Golf Cart has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your group.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
