I have been visiting Fripp Island since the late 1970's with my family. I have since continued that tradition by bringing my family and now my grandchildren. We adore the great family ambiance Fripp has to offer. We savor all of that Fripp has it to offer for all ages.  It is striking how calming it is riding around the island in a golf cart. If you visit, you will appreciate it too.

When this unit came on the market in early 2022, we decided to make the purchase.  We have been renters of this villa for many, many years!  We adore the location for  the painless beach access and having the pool right outside the door.

We have made some updates to the unit, we hope you enjoy them-- 3 new Intelligent TVS, new couches,  and window treatments.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Beaufort, SC rental & When to go:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in Fripp Island. To find the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with 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.

How to pick the best rental in Fripp Island:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Best Location on Island - 314 Captain John Fripp has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC destination you crave, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
