Ocean Views, Easy Access to Best Beach on Island! - Vacation rental home in Fripp Island, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 9
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Boardwalk to the Beach only 1 home away.

Savor uncrowded beaches, fishing, boating, and bicycle paths all over the island.

Fripp Island is a wildlife sanctuary, with deer grazing in the yards, over 170 species of birds, alligators in the lakes, dolphins playing in the waves, and Loggerhead sea turtles nesting and hatching on the shores.

The main home is 3BR2BA with beds for 8.

There is a 1BR1BA guest home roughly 10 few feet behind the main home that you may rent for an additional fee per week. This has a queen in the bedroom and a twin in the LR/DR/kitchen area..

I try to rent from a Saturday OR to a Saturday during the summer season because that's when I have to make nearly all my income for the year, and that's when most weekly guests wish to arrive/depart. If I "cross the week-end" I'm much more likely to end up with little pockets of days that are very difficult -- or impossible -- to rent. My goal is to avoid short pockets of unrented days and also to allow people looking for a full week to be able to rent from Saturday to Saturday.

I am not offering amenities cards this year and, as far as I know, the only way to get them is through a home owner who is offering them.

Golf cart rented separately.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Summer months are high season in Fripp Island. To find the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.
