Grab some burgers or steaks and toss them on the propane grille or go low and slow on the classic charcoal grille. Dinner's ready!

If you prefer to savor the evening breeze, move dinner outside to the rear balcony where there's seating for 4 at the outdoor dining table.
After dinner, relax with a Netflix movie on the 65" flat screen, surf the web via the high-speed internet, or opt for a more spectacular view by grabbing your favorite drink and heading out to the front-side balcony, where you can marvel at the sunset just behind the Marina Store and Deli. With seating for 2, and an invigorating breeze, it's the ideal spot to savor the moment. Sunset also marks the ideal time to embark on an island adventure on the golf cart. Cruising Fripp is a must! As nighttime settles in and the days adventures fade into memories, you have the luxury of choosing between 2 master suites, each promising unparalleled comfort.
