“Hooked on Higher Porpoise”

Absolutely Spectacular Home with Unbelievable Vistas that change throughout the day!!!

Four Bedroom House sits elevated above the Atlantic Ocean.

Fishing boats and dolphins pass by so close you can see the dolphins feed and blow through their blowholes often with babies following.  As the tide changes throughout the day so do the vistas. Something is always putting on a show, whether it's the sunrise, eagles and ospreys catching fish in their talons, deer walking or running by, fishermen catching crabs or fish, or the dolphins!!  It's really extraordinary to watch from the 4 rocking chairs on the cavernous front porch and balconies (4 more rocking chairs) while you sip your favorite drink, relax, read, or appreciate your family and friends.

This home is on the 18th fairway of Ocean Point Golf Course.  

The beach is close by and there is a private outside shower attached to the back of the home to wash the sand off when you return.

Swimming pools? The Fripp Island Club alone features nine shining pools.  The Cabana Club offers multiple choices-a magical lagoon-style pool with waterfalls, cascading flowers, islands and caves, an oval oool and a kids' pool with a giant frog slide.
Club cards are required to savor any of the Fripp Island Resort amenities and they are available for purchase with this property. If you opt to purchase cards, a new 12.8% resort fee based on the rental amount before taxes, cleaning and other costs will be charged in addition to the cost of the individual Club cards.

Sitting & rocking on the front porch overlooking the ocean is a favorite pastime while drinking your favorite drink and sharing stories. You won't want to leave. You will be at one of the best places on the island. The privacy is splendid!

The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to create incredible meals. Fresh shrimp, oysters, crabs, grouper and other seafood is available for purchase close by. Cook in the kitchen or on the Blackstone gas grille.  There is a wine refrigerator, superb dishwasher, plenty of counter space, and many odds and ends you won't find in other homes. Fun dishes and a great blender for those "Jimmy Buffet" drinks!

This home is appointed to please others. Our private housekeeper prides herself in being the best and maintains the home remarkably well. She believes "good enough seldom is"!

There are three garage doors downstairs housing two golf carts, four bicycles, beach toys, a propane Blackstone grille, a ping pong table and ample space to park two cars. The driveway can comfortably hold six more cars, so parking is not a problem.

There are deer all over the place and simple to spot out the kitchen window, particularly early in the morning and just around sunset. The backyard leads onto the 18th fairway just below the tee-box. Looking down the fairway to the east is the Atlantic Ocean just a few feet behind the 18th hole.

There are 3 Intelligent TVs in the home with high speed internet. If there's a rainy day you might want to access Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, or any streaming account you have.

Downstairs features a full bath, combination bedroom/game-room with games, puzzles, a pool table and a couch for relaxation.

Two Yamaha Golf Carts (2018) ARE PROVIDED in your stay – no need to rent golf carts separately!

Our top Rental home booking tips:

Cost saving strategies:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Fripp Island. To find the best value, shift your family's Beaufort, SC trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
  • Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
  • Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the perfect Beaufort, SC rental home:

  • Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
  • Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. Higher Porpoise - 507 Porpoise Drive has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your trip.
  • Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
  • Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
  • If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

  • Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
  • Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
