Ocean vistas and breezes.

Spectacular new Boardwalk to the Beach only 2 homes 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 sleeps 9 in beds. The guest home sleeps 3 in beds and 2 more on a fold out futon couch. Total 12 in beds plus 2 on fold out futon.

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.

I'm trying 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. 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.

Finding the best Fripp Island vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• In the Beaufort, SC area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of SC. To find the best rental home within budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Beaufort, SC attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect rental in the Beaufort, SC area:

• First and foremost, have your family select trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Ocean Views, Mid-Island, Main 3BR2BA + Guest 1BR1BA House s has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, SC beach you simply love, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
