Best Beach- Ocean Views -- Guest House - Vacation rental home in Fripp Island, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage

Ocean vistas and breezes near new boardwalk.

This 1BR1BA guest home is roughly 10 few feet behind the main home. Parking for this is only in the dirt driveway that runs between the homes and the initial entry is the door between the 2 homes, which leads into the bedroom. You would then enter the living room/dining area and unlock the sliding glass doors.

Most of the deck and front sliding glass doors look out over an empty lot directly to the ocean, but the linoleum floors are badly worn and there is no dishwasher.

Savor uncrowded beaches, fishing, boating, and bicycle paths all over the island.

Fripp Island is a wildlife sanctuary, with deer grazing in the yards, over 170 species of birds, alligators in the lakes, dolphins playing in the waves, and Loggerhead sea turtles nesting and hatching on the shores.

I am not offering amenities cards this year and, as far as I know, the only way to get them is through a home owner who is offering them.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Fripp Island vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in Fripp Island. Booking your Beaufort, SC vacation home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Beaufort, SC area travel guides which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Best Beach- Ocean Views -- Guest House has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
