Ideal Location Mid Island, Close to the Beach, with a Dock and Golf Cart

A appealing and completely refurnished third row beach home for you to make your vacation home with family and friends.  Two mins. by golf cart from Fripp Island's beach, which is over 3 1/2 miles of pristine, uncrowded, white sandy bliss.  3 bedroom/3 bathroom, the Carolina Girl sleeps 8 and includes a shared dock on a tidal creek with direct access to the ocean.  It is a dream for crabbing, boating, and paddling.  
Set aside your daily routine and appreciate life the Fripp Island way. Cruise around on the Carolina Girl’s golf cart to check out the sights on the island.  Listen to the ocean waves while taking in the striking view of the creek from the screened-in back porch.  Fripp Island is about 3000 acres of natural wonder which has been designated as a Wildlife Sanctuary.  You will see plenty of alligators, deer, and birds.  And Fripp is only a short trip from Beaufort, SC and Savannah, GA.
 
Your mood will brighten as you enter the home and take in its light, beachy décor.  As you walk by the bar and wine cooler, you will be greeted with a gorgeous view of the canal. The kitchen appliances are all stainless, and the kitchen is well supplied with dishes, silverware, and all the amenities of home. The main living area is an open concept that accepts you to gather for dinner or movies.
 
The home has one bedroom on the main living floor which holds a queen size bed and has a full bathroom. The master bedroom (king size bed) and second bedroom (queen size bed and bunk beds) are upstairs, both with ensuite bathrooms. All bedrooms come with Roku TV (access to streaming services and complimentary TV). There is a gas grille available for you to “put the sear on” your preferred protein, whether that be steak or fresh seafood. The screened-in back deck overlooking the canal is a constant favorite. Appreciate your morning coffee or your evening beverage on the porch while listening to the ocean waves and feeling the ocean breeze.
 
The home sits way back from the road after a long driveway, and behind a stand of 50 foot tall pines and palm trees.  So, there is privacy from the road, and there is plenty of space for parking up to 4 cars.
 
The home is centrally located on the island, so just a short distance to many of the most trendy resort conveniences, if you choose at your option to purchase the resort’s club cards that will provide you with access to these.  The Carolina Girl is a 3 min. golf cart ride to the Cabana Club (with its pools and wet bar), and Camp Fripp.  We are also close to the Bonito Boathouse restaurant.  The 15th hole of the Ocean Creek golf course is right at the end of the driveway, with the Ocean Creek clubhouse just a short walk.  Finally, the family playground, which also has basketball and volleyball courts, is within walking distance for even the youngest of family members.

Fripp Island rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to book a Beaufort, SC rental & When to go:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking the right Beaufort, SC rental home:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Carolina Girl Fripp Island has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is right for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a certain Beaufort, SC destination you simply love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
