A Nature Lover's Heaven:  Savor elevated and broad vistas of the ever changing marsh and the wildlife that comes through it from a Fripp Island Treehouse.  You'll see herons, egrets, osprey, eagles, woodstorks, jumping fish, fiddler crabs, deer and racoons too.  And the modest birds that stop at the feeder on the deck are an absolute joy to watch: cardinals, nuthatches, blue birds, painted buntings, wrens, titmice, chickadees, hummingbirds & MORE.  Sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous and seeing the light shift and the tide ebb and flow through the marsh grass is a real treat.  Watching boats head in and out of Old House Creek is fun too. Bring your binoculars and soak up the magic!  Birdseed is included for the feeders.

The treehouse is bright, open and comfortable and really brings the outdoors in.  Off of the 1st floor entryway there is a alluring bedroom suite (2 twin beds) with a deck overlooking the marsh and a full bath. Upstairs you'll find 2 bedrooms (each with a queen bed and adjustable base--great for reading in bed or day dreaming out the windows): the primary bedroom has a balcony overlooking the marsh and a full bathroom, and the 2nd bedroom has impressive vistas of the tree tops and a full bathroom adjacent to it.

The living room, dining room and kitchen are open and offer spectacular marsh vistas and space for you to appreciate one another or spread out.  We know you will appreciate being immersed in the peacefulness of Fripp's marsh while only being a fast ride from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the island.  There is outdoor seating on the decks and around the property for you to savor your morning coffee, an afternoon beverage, or a good book.

A 4 seat golf cart is supplied and is a outstanding way to discover the beauty of the island.  The beach and all of the amenities of Fripp are only a short ride away and the Fiddler's crabbing dock is just down the street.  You are also welcome to use the adult tandem bicycle and 2 cruiser bicycles (2 helmets included).

Our top Vacation rental tips:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.

• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
