Decorated with coastal sophistication in mind with new comfortable beds, pillows, linens, and floor to ceiling windows to watch the wildlife swim and fly by. We have also added an air purification system with multiple Honeywell air purifiers.

A well appointed kitchen for everything you would need to prepare a exceptional meal,. A Keurig coffee maker and also a drip coffee maker are available at the coffee bar. A Weber charcoal grille for grilling and a separate 25 LB. Ice maker for countless frozen drinks. A few cooking spices, olive oil, and some coffee left for you in case you forgot yours. And if you don't have what you need just text us and we will be right over.

We include our golf cart, named "Shortie", for you to savor while you stay at the Surf Shack so you can cruise all over the island or take a ride to the beach & eateries.

We are club members so you can purchase amenities cards to appreciate the Resort owned facilities on the island. These facilities include the eateries on Fripp Island, the swimming pools, the golf courses and tennis. The Deerlake neighborhood has its own private neighborhood swimming pool across the street from our home. This pool is available to our guests.

Our home is hidden off of the main road. A little walk through the tropical yard and you will find our blue home, sitting proudly, nearly right on the Lake! Makes one feel like you are on a boat, with all of the windows and the open floor plan.

We appreciate our family pets and would consider your pet too. We have air purifiers throughout the home to control dust, pet dander, allergens, etc. We do not have carpet but we do have area rugs so Fiddo needs to wash his paws before coming inside, please. And like all other pet considered units, there is a pet fee to pay.

We have Beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys and a beach umbrella.

And there’s something special about an outside shower and showering when you get back from the beach so we added a temperature controlled, enclosed outside shower!

**There is the possibility that you will see an alligator swim by every now and then. It is illegal to harass, feed, or do anything to an alligator but observe and admire. Also, our Lake looks like fun to fish in but you can't really. We do have magnificant fishing spots all over the island and we will be happy to share that info with you if you like.

***The Fripp Island Club requires amenities cards for you to frequent their conveniences. These amenities include golfing, playing tennis, going to the eateries on Fripp, going to the swimming pools and the exercise room.

Each guest 13 years or older must carry an luxury card to access the Club's facilities.
There are a few places on Fripp Island that you do not need an luxury card. SpringTide Market is at the front of the island that has a huge menu at their deli. From breakfast sandwiches to family BBQ meals, there is a lot to choose from. There is also a deli at the Marina that serves sandwiches and salads. The Fripp Ship and Mango stores are fun to go into for your ideal souvenir. You do not need an luxury card for golf cart, kayak, bicycle, etc. units as there are an abundance of companies who offer rental services that will deliver to you.

We hope you choose the Surf Shack for your vacation destination. It's a great place to build fun memories and to see such a variety of animals that most do not get to see on a daily basis.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Beaufort, SC area. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be 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 on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by having your family decide on dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Wildlife viewers dream! Peaceful & so clean, golf cart incl., pool across street has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If not, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
