This charming 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 modernized 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 savor. Recently, we removed the carpeting and installed wood floors in the entire home except the bedrooms. We completely refreshed 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 amenities 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 luxury cards will be able to appreciate 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 conveniences cards will still have access to all of the handsome natural wonders of Fripp Island: the fantastic 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 amazing 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 enchanting, we welcome any suggestions you may have to make your next stay with us more fun.

The ocean inlet is roughly 400 yards away. The nearest beach is a leisurely walk of about 800 yards.

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 adore our pets and always wanted to take ours along. But we have put a lot of work, appreciate 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.

• To find the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.

Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.

• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
