Ocean Views, Easy Access to Best Beach on Island! - Vacation rental home in Fripp Island, SC

About this Property

• Sleeps 9
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Boardwalk to the Beach only 1 home away.

Savor uncrowded beaches, fishing, boating, and bicycle paths all over the island.

Fripp Island is a wildlife sanctuary, with deer grazing in the yards, over 170 species of birds, alligators in the lakes, dolphins playing in the waves, and Loggerhead sea turtles nesting and hatching on the shores.

The main home is 3BR2BA with beds for 8.

There is a 1BR1BA guest home roughly 10 few feet behind the main home that you may rent for an additional fee per week. This has a queen in the bedroom and a twin in the LR/DR/kitchen area..

I try to rent from a Saturday OR to a Saturday during the summer season because that's when I have to make nearly all my income for the year, and that's when most weekly guests wish to arrive/depart. If I "cross the week-end" I'm much more likely to end up with little pockets of days that are very difficult -- or impossible -- to rent. My goal is to avoid short pockets of unrented days and also to allow people looking for a full week to be able to rent from Saturday to Saturday.

I am not offering amenities cards this year and, as far as I know, the only way to get them is through a home owner who is offering them.

Golf cart rented separately.

Strategies to get the perfect Fripp Island vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Beaufort, SC area. To find the best value, shift your family's Beaufort, SC vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
