EMBRACE the nostalgia of yesterdays as we delight in sharing our acquired beach bungalow. This home has never been a rental in the past. It was a cherished home for 20 years to a enchanting owner. It would take too long to share how this purchase took place during a pandemic but it was a Godwink moment.

This gated community is Fripp Island & we have traveled here off & on since 1996. Once you get Fripp between your toes it is hard to shake it off. The allure is hard to describe adequately. It is family friendly with the natural wildlife sharing the space simultaneously and our bungalow is located in a peaceful and appealing piece of this island.

The relaxing air immerses you on the back deck as the roar of the sea can often times be heard in the distance. Birds chirp their songs as they state they are close by. And an occasional alligator can be seen guarding the lagoon. Golfers come & go on the visible green giving an occasional wave as they concentrate on their strokes. This is our Island Psalms Cottage.

Island Psalms is located 3 rows of homes from the beach but only 2 streets over. So only a 1/4 of a mile from our favorite go to beach entry 1B. We are located on the 6th green of the Ocean Point Golf course. The view is phenomenal and can be rather entertaining. Finding balls in the back yard is like a yearlong Easter egg hunt. We also have a view of the lagoon which is home to multiple alligators & other wildlife habitats. The island is a natural wildlife sanctuary so any feeding or tantalizing the inhabitants is prohibited.

Our bungalow has shaker siding which gives it an upper New England feel with a low country flair. We have 17 steps to the main door, (FYI) to a one level of living space. Coming into the entry is welcoming to enter and see through the big picture windows to view straight out to the golf course. The bungalow will sleep 9 people in beds. We have added Austin Air filters which are made in USA to our bungalow to help with virus control. Recently installed solid wood floor has been added to all the bedrooms Fall of 2022. This is much better for any allergies.

The Master bedroom has a queen size bed, in suite bathroom and ample closet space. The bathroom has double sinks, with a private potty room & tub/shower combination. The pocket door in the sink room opens up to a sleeping porch with a day bed & pull out trundle. It also has a kid’s table & chairs with games. The T.V. in that room is connected to a blue ray DVD player. This room has tons of windows to savor the view, but curtains can be drawn for privacy.

The family room has vaulted ceilings with a sizable T.V., books and games. This room opens to freshly revitalized deck for your enjoyment. Be considerate with the noise as the golfers do their putting. For your enjoyment, the roar of the ocean can often be heard as you appreciate the deck.

During our ownership, a brand NEW HVAC was installed. The well outfitted kitchen has had all NEW appliances installed except the dishwasher since ownership. We have a Whirlpool refrigerator, Kitchenaid microwave over oven, & a Frigidaire induction cooktop. The correct cookware is included but feel complimentary to bring your own, just know induction has special requirements. Adequate space is supplied to store your food. A full size washer & dryer is also supplied with start up washing supplies.

Around the corner is 2 more bedrooms and a bath. A twin bed is in a smaller room with a kid’s desk for remote learning and the printer. Wi-Fi is supplied.

The front bedroom has a king bed and a work station for more remote working or learning. The back bedroom has a queen bed with a view of the golf course. There is a Pack n’ Play, high chair & booster seat stored in this closet for the little ones. The hall bath has a tub/shower combination and linen closet with beach towels included.
At the end of this hall is the steps to the ground level. Several outdoor games, beach chairs, rolling cart, & beach umbrellas are stored here for your convenience. In the open space are 6 cruiser bicycles, water rafts & a modest kayak for your enjoyment. An umbrella stroller is also available for the evening walks. Also in this area is a ping pong table for those competitive spirits. Corn hole & a ring toss game can be taken into the yard for enjoyment. A tandem double garage is supplied in this space. Going out to the back yard from this area is a gas Char-Broil Grille under the back deck on its freshly constructed platform for that Grille Master that you brought along.

Island Psalms Cottage offers luxury cards for access to the Fripp Island Resort resources (pools, eateries, golf, tennis, and other resort activities). Due to the new resort owners, an 12.8% of the total rent resort fee will be charged in addition to cost of the individual cards. All property owners now collect this Resort Fee. Amenity cards are required for anyone 13 years and older to access these activities. **** Please let us know if you want the cards and how many so we can add these to your quote. Otherwise, they are not available for purchase.

We also offer a 6 seater golf cart for rent at $60.00 a day unless the rental is a week long stay & then the golf cart is included. (If you want to add these to your stay, contact us.)

Mangos, a boutique, & the SpringTide Market are open to all guest. If fresh seafood is your quest, there is a modest market this side of the new bridge, MainLine, that has about all you can prepare. Publix & Walmart are both on the way to the island, if you want to stock up on groceries.

The tranquility you feel & the psalms you hear as you relax from the pressures of life will surely explain the message of Island Psalms Cottage.

Vacation rental tips:

Finding the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. Booking your Beaufort, SC vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. ISLAND PSALMS…. A serene cottage with-Golf Cart and Amenity Cards. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property owner before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC attraction you simply love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
