Sea La Vie is a four bedroom 4.5 bath home of about 3,500 sq.ft. located on Fripp Island in the Low Country of South Carolina.
The gated community of Fripp Island represents the best of what the Low Country offers: Pristine beaches, an abundance of wildlife and a secure place for you and your family to relax and savor your time away from the rest of your life.
Sea La Vie, our home, represents an fantastic opportunity to experience all of this. "C'est la vie" roughly translates as "oh, well". And that's what you will say to yourself as you look around, smile, and settle into your vacation.
Spyglass, where our home is located, is a peninsula on the southern end of the island near Wardle's Landing. Sea La Vie presents ocean vistas from the front and a panorama of broad marsh and estuary vistas from the back. The sunsets are impressive. Wildlife is seen in abundance everywhere.
Whether you are looking for a peaceful place to read and refresh your spirit or a life style that is set up for family togetherness, Fripp Island offers a respite from the everyday routines of life. And Sea La Vie is the place to stay.
The home, a sprawling Cape Cod, has a sizable wall of windows at the rear of the home with multiple screened sunrooms each side of a huge great room. Everywhere gives you unbroken panoramas over the pristine unspoiled marsh around Skull Inlet.
Whether you choose to sit with your coffee on the front porch early in the morning as the sun comes up, watching the waves in Skull Inlet and across to Pritchard's Island or... you choose the rear deck or one of the screened sunrooms, you will find yourself surrounded by nature, an ideal environment to relax and leave the worries of the world behind.
Savor breakfast while counting the wildlife that flies by. How many eagles and ospreys will you see this morning? After that, there's the golf courses, the tennis courts and, of course, the beaches. Nothing beats the beaches of Fripp Island.
Sea La Vie is about a ten min. walk or a five min. golf cart ride to the beach.
Beach access is assured as there are over 30 accesses to the beach. To help you savor your stay, we provide beach towels, beach umbrellas, surf floats, sand chairs, and a few sand toys so that you don't have to pack them.
What else? It's a 5 min. walk to the Nature Center where the naturalists will give you a tour of the wealth of island wildlife that they have at the center. The island's Activity Center is right there too. Great for the kids.
The Cabana Club & its pools, where you can appreciate the spectacular vistas across to Pritchard's Island and the ocean, take in a beverage, or enjoy food from the restaurant, are located 100 yards further. There are nine pools scattered around the island that you have access to.
Spyglass is adjacent to Wardle's Landing which is a fishing and crabbing pier that juts out into Skull Inlet. Whether you are fishing, crabbing, watching the dolphins go by, or taking in the striking sunsets, you'll enjoy the wonders of the South Carolina Low Country from this marvelous location.
Once you've done with the day's activities and fun, you relax on the porches, decks, or in the sunrooms.
You will find our kitchen well supplied with appliances and all of the necessary items to enable your full dining and cooking pleasures. There's a Weber gas grille on the deck for grilling your catch or your favorite steaks, burgers or sausages.
The home has high speed wireless internet (Hargray 200mbps) throughout. All TVs are Intelligent HDTVs with wireless access to the internet and complimentary Netflix.
TV Locations...Great Room, screened sunroom, upstairs lounge area, master bedroom, number 2 and number 3 bedrooms.
The four and a half bathrooms are supplied with an abundance of bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths. We also provide a dozen beach towels.
The home has ample parking, both under the home and around it. Two cars under and four in the driveways.
Our island is near historic Beaufort South Carolina with its historical tours and many fine eating establishments.
Once you have adored the unspoiled life style of Fripp Island, walking the uncrowded beach where loggerhead turtles come to nest, you will wonder why you ever went anywhere else to get away from it all. Remember, vacations at the beach form memories that last forever.
One more thing: No Smoking and No family pets allowed.

Tips to get the perfect Beaufort, SC vacation rental experience:
Get the most from your budget:
- Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- Summer is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
- Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
- Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
- Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.
Narrow your rental Search:
- Begin by selecting your trip dates and a max budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 6 Spyglass Lane - Four Bedroom House, Sleeps 10 has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rental home search.
- Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
- If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
- Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
- Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
Have a fantastic stay:
- Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
- Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
- Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
- On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
- Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
