******* IMPORTANT UPDATE: CHANGE IN GUEST CARD POLICY AND PRICE *******

The Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort was purchased by the Seascape Hospitality Group in January 2023. The new owners are implementing many changes that will immediately effect guests and owners alike. The most major change impacting visitors is that in order to access resort amenities (pools, golf courses, activities, eateries, etc.) they will be required to purchase Guest Cards ($25-$50) AND also pay a resort conveniences fee equal to 12.8% of the property rental (excluding housekeeping costs, taxes, etc.). For example, if you rent our home for a week at $350/nighttime, the new additional conveniences fee will be $313.60 ($2450 x 12.8%) PLUS the cost of Guest Cards to be purchased. Apparently, properties managed by the Resort have always required payment of this luxury fee. The new owners have pledged to make many improvements to resort facilities and have stated that the expanded luxury fee will provide vital capital for doing so. The new policy was implemented on February 24, 2023 and will be applicable to all future bookings. We sincerely regret that the new policy increases the cost of visiting on Fripp Island for those wishing to savor the resort's amenities.
