Ideal Location Mid Island, Close to the Beach, with a Dock and Golf Cart

A appealing and completely refurnished third row beach home for you to make your vacation home with family and friends.  Two mins. by golf cart from Fripp Island's beach, which is over 3 1/2 miles of pristine, uncrowded, white sandy bliss.  3 bedroom/3 bathroom, the Carolina Girl sleeps 8 and includes a shared dock on a tidal creek with direct access to the ocean.  It is a dream for crabbing, boating, and paddling.  
Set aside your daily routine and savor life the Fripp Island way. Cruise around on the Carolina Girl’s golf cart to check out the sights on the island.  Listen to the ocean waves while taking in the beautiful view of the creek from the screened-in back porch.  Fripp Island is about 3000 acres of natural wonder which has been designated as a Wildlife Sanctuary.  You will see plenty of alligators, deer, and birds.  And Fripp is only a short trip from Beaufort, SC and Savannah, GA.
 
Your mood will brighten as you enter the home and take in its light, beachy décor.  As you walk by the bar and wine cooler, you will be greeted with a impressive view of the canal. The kitchen appliances are all stainless, and the kitchen is well supplied with dishes, silverware, and all the amenities of home. The main living area is an open concept that accepts you to gather for dinner or movies.
 
The home has one bedroom on the main living floor which holds a queen size bed and has a full bathroom. The master bedroom (king size bed) and second bedroom (queen size bed and bunk beds) are upstairs, both with ensuite bathrooms. All bedrooms come with Roku TV (access to streaming services and complimentary TV). There is a gas grille available for you to “put the sear on” your preferred protein, whether that be steak or fresh seafood. The screened-in back deck overlooking the canal is a constant favorite. Savor your morning coffee or your evening beverage on the porch while listening to the ocean waves and feeling the ocean breeze.
 
The home sits way back from the road after a long driveway, and behind a stand of 50 foot tall pines and palm trees.  So, there is privacy from the road, and there is plenty of space for parking up to 4 cars.
 
The home is centrally located on the island, so just a short distance to many of the most fashionable resort amenities, if you choose at your option to purchase the resort’s club cards that will provide you with access to these.  The Carolina Girl is a 3 min. golf cart ride to the Cabana Club (with its pools and wet bar), and Camp Fripp.  We are also close to the Bonito Boathouse restaurant.  The 15th hole of the Ocean Creek golf course is right at the end of the driveway, with the Ocean Creek clubhouse just a short walk.  Finally, the family playground, which also has basketball and volleyball courts, is within walking distance for even the youngest of family members.

Fripp Island vacation rental tips and tricks:

Get the best rental home value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to choose the best rental home in the Beaufort, SC area:

• To start, have your family select the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Carolina Girl Fripp Island has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
