This beautiful three bedroom, two and a half bath golf course home overlooks the sixteenth fairway and green of one of two golf courses on this 6000 acre private island off the coast of Beaufort, SC. Twenty years ago we purchased the home and completely remodeled and redecorated it with new carpeting, paint, furnishings, appliances ,kitchen items and linens. We visit it often, and every year we continue to improve it for you and for us to appreciate. Recently, we removed the carpeting and installed wood floors in the entire home except the bedrooms. We completely modernized the master bath area. It is now tiled with a walk in shower, a new vanity, mirrors, lighting, etc. We tore out the old, cracked and buckled asphalt driveway and installed pavers for the driveway and walkway.
**** AMENITY CARDS*****
Recently, the Fripp Island Corporation was bought out, and the new owners have vastly increased the cost of luxury cards. We are members of the Fripp Island Club and, therefore, can offer our guests luxury cards. However, guests may wish to consider whether the benefits are worth the new costs. In addition to the $50 per card per week fee, the corporation will now collect an additional 12.8% fee based on the weekly rental. Those guests who choose to purchase the amenities cards will be able to savor the fine recreational facilities and programs available on Fripp Island. Privately owned, with access restricted to preserve the high standards you expect, the Fripp Island sports and dining conveniences are designed to provide exceptional satisfaction.
Those guests who choose to not purchase luxury cards will still have access to all of the gorgeous natural wonders of Fripp Island: the astounding beaches, the nature walk off of Porpoise Drive, striking ocean vistas, playing in the surf, all of the wonders that separate a trip to Fripp from a hotel resort stay . In addition, drives off island can provide impressive local eateries and golfing facilities.
**** GOLF CART ****
Most of our guests want to have a golf cart available. Some do not. We make a four passenger golf cart available to those who want it for an additional fee of $300 per week which is substantially less than is charged by the resort for a similar cart. ****************************************

**** WiFi and HDTV ****
We have installed wifi and an HDTV for the living room. The master bedroom has an additional HDTV. The TVs are connected to Dish Network with HBO and Showtime and numerous other premium networks.

****Bedrooms****
Two of the bedrooms have queen size beds, and the third has two twins. Although we have tried to think of everything to make your stay more fun, we welcome any suggestions you may have to make your next stay with us more enchanting.

**** The House****
The home has 1550 square feet of room plus a comfortably sized deck. The kitchen is huge enough for more than one person to work in comfortably and has a modest breakfast nook. The living room and the master bedroom have ten foot cathedral ceilings.

Sitting on the deck, you may watch golfers or white tail deer work their way along the championship course, wave to Al, one of the alligators who resides in the lagoon across the fairway and occasionally look off to your left for a glimpse of the ocean at the inlet between Fripp Island and the neighboring Hunting Island. The ocean inlet is roughly 400 yards away. The nearest beach is a leisurely walk of about 800 yards. At least once during your stay, get up early, sit on the deck and watch the incredibly handsome sunrise.

Our home is filled with light and features casual, comfortable furnishings, beach books and inviting spots for reading, and jigsaw puzzles. The living area's enormous, open floor plan accepts the cooks among you to prepare a meal without missing the card game at the dining room table or the conversation in the living room.

Conveniences: When you arrive, you'll find the beds all made up for you with towels and toiletries in each bathroom. Not your basic rental. Our home is a home-away-from home with a sizable well-equipped kitchen.. The TV in the living room is HD has a connected DVD player. The home also features wifi, a fireplace, air conditioning, cable TV, coffee maker, huge comfortable deck, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, full kitchen, microwave, phone a large gas kettle grille for grilling out.

A POST SCRIPT: Choosing a vacation home sight-unseen is always a challenge. We know because we did it too, every summer for 30 years. But more and more we kept coming back to Fripp Island. It suited our life style. Our goal is to help you decide if our home is right for you. So please don't hesitate to ask questions.

This is not a holiday home but a home filled with appreciate and feelings that it belongs to someone. We have stayed at many places in the USA, but this is the best. A great vacation. Perhaps our home will be right for you.

We wish we could extend our invitation to your family family pets, we appreciate our pets and always wanted to take ours along. But we have put a lot of work, adore and money into making our home inviting and comfortable for us and our guests and we are concerned that ordinarily well mannered pets get nervous in new surroundings and accidents happen. So we have to ask that you not bring your pets. We also insist that you not smoke in our home.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Fripp Island rental home:

• To find the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and pick the perfect Beaufort, SC rental home:

• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Golf Course Home: 3BR 2 1\/2 Bath, Hdtv, Wifi has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean 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 family have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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.
