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 striking 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 enormous wall of windows at the rear of the home with multiple screened sunrooms each side of a sizable 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 drink, 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 handsome sunsets, you'll enjoy the wonders of the South Carolina Low Country from this exceptional 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.

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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Beaufort, SC rental experience:
When to visit & When to reserve a Beaufort, SC rental home:
- Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
- Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
- Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
- Often, management companies supply Beaufort, SC area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
Planning and picking yourvacation home:
- Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
- Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 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 rentals search.
- Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation.
- Does your family require unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
- Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
- If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
During your stay:
- Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
- Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
- Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
- Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
- Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
- Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
