Guests consistently rate Footprints with 5-stars and say it is the best vacation rental home they've ever experienced and that Footprints "Feels like home". The housekeeping team ensures the home is pristine upon your arrival. A golf cart, bicycles for all ages, quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach towels, hotel quality linens/towels/toiletries all come with your rental! Two weekly luxury cards are also included with a weekly rental.

I designed and constructed the home to include every feature I felt was missing in a vacation rental. All rooms have vistas of the ocean and either access to a private balcony or the sizable Southern porches. The main floor has an exceptional open floor plan with a huge family room, half bath off the entryway, open dining area and sizable master bedroom and ensuite master bath. The roomy and well-equipped kitchen is designed for huge family gatherings with tons of counter space for helpers, double stainless steel ovens, dedicated ice machine, French door refrigerator and an additional tall mini refrigerator for overflow groceries. Chefs appreciate the kitchen and a Weber grille is also available for outdoor cooking! The Master is upgraded with Posturepedic linens, high quality sheets, hypo-allergenic pillows and flat screen t.v.,. The giant ensuite bath has an ADA seamless tile shower, soaker tub and a nice walk-in closet.

A golf cart along with four high quality adult cruiser bicycles (plus bicycles for the kiddies), nice quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach toys and high quality beach towels all come complimentary with your rental. If your stay is seven nights or longer, two weekly amenities cards are supplied. Additional cards can be purchased through me, unlike other Hosts on the Island. The new owners of Fripp Island have added a mandatory 12.8% fee ( of the base rental rate only) for ALL RENTAL PROPERTIES on the island.

The new exercise center is open and our beach access is less than a 2 min. walk to the best beach access on the island with an simple ramp (not a long boardwalk) for strollers and walkers! Don't be fooled by busy "center island" or Tarpon locations, with no room to spread out and no beach at high tide. All pools are less than a 5 min. golf cart ride and faster by car.

If you need to work remotely and we hope you don't....but if you do...... there's a dedicated desk in the upstairs loft also with fantastic vistas while you work.

Times are stressful and Footprints in the Sand is the ideal place to get away, relax and detox on this private island we call "Heaven"! We strive to ensure your safety and housekeeping adheres to CDC guidelines for cleaning and all duct work has been cleaned and sanitized for added comfort!

Footprints in the Sand is a professionally designed and decorated 5-star rated home by over 70 guests with marvelous beach and wildlife vistas! House is designed with hotel quality floors, quartz counter tops/sinks/faucets in kitchen and all baths, new fireplace surround, freshly painted etc. Savor our close beach access to go back and forth to the home when you're at the beach! I LOVE the beach, but hate packing the "stuff" for a great vacation. No worries, we provide toiletries like a hotel, hair dryer in each bath, all linens, usb ports in all bedrooms, a golf cart, beach chairs, beach towels, beach wagon and bicycles for all ages! Exploring the island in the golf cart supplied or on the gorgeous bicycle paths with our bicycles, makes for the ideal vacation. What better way to get away!

Our Property Manager and Housekeeper are top-notch and use CDC recommended anti-bacteria products to keep Footprints sanitized and clean! To assist in contact complimentary luxury cards, our property manager even delivers your conveniences cards prior to your arrival at no additional charge and is available and responsive during your stay. Our goal is to ensure you have the best and safest vacation possible!

Our top Fripp Island vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal SC. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Ocean Views Galore!! 5 star reviews, easy beach & pool access. Cards, cart incl! has 5 bedrooms and 5 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 you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 group have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
