EMBRACE the nostalgia of yesterdays as we delight in sharing our acquired beach bungalow. This home has never been a rental in the past. It was a cherished home for 20 years to a enchanting owner. It would take too long to share how this purchase took place during a pandemic but it was a Godwink moment.

This gated community is Fripp Island & we have traveled here off & on since 1996. Once you get Fripp between your toes it is hard to shake it off. The allure is hard to describe adequately. It is family friendly with the natural wildlife sharing the space simultaneously and our bungalow is located in a peaceful and beautiful piece of this island.

The relaxing air immerses you on the back deck as the roar of the sea can often times be heard in the distance. Birds chirp their songs as they state they are close by. And an occasional alligator can be seen guarding the lagoon. Golfers come & go on the visible green giving an occasional wave as they concentrate on their strokes. This is our Island Psalms Cottage.

Island Psalms is located 3 rows of homes from the beach but only 2 streets over. So only a 1/4 of a mile from our favorite go to beach entry 1B. We are located on the 6th green of the Ocean Point Golf course. The view is phenomenal and can be rather entertaining. Finding balls in the back yard is like a yearlong Easter egg hunt. We also have a view of the lagoon which is home to numerous alligators & other wildlife habitats. The island is a natural wildlife sanctuary so any feeding or tantalizing the inhabitants is prohibited.

Our bungalow has shaker siding which gives it an upper New England feel with a low country flair. We have 17 steps to the main door, (FYI) to a one level of living space. Coming into the entry is welcoming to enter and see through the big picture windows to view straight out to the golf course. The bungalow will sleep 9 people in beds. We have added Austin Air filters which are made in USA to our bungalow to help with virus control. Freshly installed solid wood floor has been added to all the bedrooms Fall of 2022. This is much better for any allergies.

The Master bedroom has a queen size bed, in suite bathroom and ample closet space. The bathroom has double sinks, with a private potty room & tub/shower combination. The pocket door in the sink room opens up to a sleeping porch with a day bed & pull out trundle. It also has a kid’s table & chairs with games. The T.V. in that room is connected to a blue ray DVD player. This room has tons of windows to appreciate the view, but curtains can be drawn for privacy.

The family room has vaulted ceilings with a huge T.V., books and games. This room opens to newly revitalized deck for your enjoyment. Be considerate with the noise as the golfers do their putting. For your enjoyment, the roar of the ocean can often be heard as you savor the deck.

During our ownership, a brand NEW HVAC was installed. The well outfitted kitchen has had all NEW appliances installed except the dishwasher since ownership. We have a Whirlpool refrigerator, Kitchenaid microwave over oven, & a Frigidaire induction cooktop. The correct cookware is supplied but feel complimentary to bring your own, just know induction has special requirements. Adequate space is included to store your food. A full size washer & dryer is also supplied with start up washing supplies.

Around the corner is 2 more bedrooms and a bath. A twin bed is in a smaller room with a kid’s desk for remote learning and the printer. Wi-Fi is supplied.

The front bedroom has a king bed and a work station for more remote working or learning. The back bedroom has a queen bed with a view of the golf course. There is a Pack n’ Play, high chair & booster seat stored in this closet for the little ones. The hall bath has a tub/shower combination and linen closet with beach towels supplied.
At the end of this hall is the steps to the ground level. Several outdoor games, beach chairs, rolling cart, & beach umbrellas are stored here for your convenience. In the open space are 6 cruiser bicycles, water rafts & a modest kayak for your enjoyment. An umbrella stroller is also available for the evening walks. Also in this area is a ping pong table for those competitive spirits. Corn hole & a ring toss game can be taken into the yard for enjoyment. A tandem double garage is supplied in this space. Going out to the back yard from this area is a gas Char-Broil Grille under the back deck on its freshly constructed platform for that Grille Master that you brought along.

Island Psalms Cottage offers luxury cards for access to the Fripp Island Resort resources (pools, eateries, golf, tennis, and other resort activities). Due to the new resort owners, an 12.8% of the total rent resort fee will be charged in addition to cost of the individual cards. All property owners now collect this Resort Fee. Amenity cards are required for anyone 13 years and older to access these activities. **** Please let us know if you want the cards and how many so we can add these to your quote.

We also offer a 6 seater golf cart for rent at $60.00 a day unless the rental is a week long stay & then the golf cart is included. (If you want to add these to your stay, contact us.)

Mangos, a boutique, & the SpringTide Market are open to all guest. If fresh seafood is your quest, there is a modest market this side of the new bridge, MainLine, that has about all you can prepare. Publix & Walmart are both on the way to the island, if you want to stock up on groceries.

The tranquility you feel & the psalms you hear as you relax from the pressures of life will surely explain the message of Island Psalms Cottage.

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Beaufort, SC area. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Beaufort, SC area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the rightvacation home:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. ISLAND PSALMS…. A serene cottage with-Golf Cart and Amenity Cards. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out 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 wonderful stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
