Stay with us and see why our guests literally brag that "Fripper Upper" is the best one-bedroom on the island!
"Fripper Upper" is a COMPLETELY and TASTEFULLY RENOVATED (end of 2021) 1 king bed/1 full bath FIRST FLOORING CORNER villa with INCREDIBLE marsh, canal, and sunset vistas!  The current owners purchased at the end of 2020 and spent all of 2021 making the entire villa new, bright, light, and airy.  EVERY window accepts plenty of light while highlighting the beauty and splendor of the marsh, wildlife, and Mother Nature.  NO PARKING LOT OR STAIRCASE VIEWS - ALL MARSH VIEWS!   NO STAIRS TO THE BEDROOM (once inside, it's all one level - you don't have to haul bags up stairs to a bedroom).  The beach, ocean, adults-only pool and bar, Island Bites food court, Olympic swimming/lap pool, Island Arcade, The Fripp Ship and The Little Fripp Ship souvenir/clothing stores, gym/exercise center, and the heart of Fripp Island are just across the street, with MULTIPLE BEACH ACCESSES too!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Beaufort, SC vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Fripp Island rental home:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Fripp Island. To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
  • Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
  • Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
  • Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Beaufort, SC area:

  • Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Fripper Upper: 1st Floor, Just for TWO, All MARSH Views, FREE Coffee\/Tea\/Creamer, Club Cards Available! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rentals search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
  • Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
  • Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
  • Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your stay:

  • Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
  • Did your family have a wonderful stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
