A Nature Lover's Heaven:  Savor elevated and broad vistas of the ever changing marsh and the wildlife that comes through it from our Fripp Island Treehouse.  You'll see herons, egrets, osprey, eagles, woodstorks, jumping fish, fiddler crabs, deer and racoons too.  And the song birds that stop at the feeder on the deck are an absolute joy to watch: cardinals, nuthatches, blue birds, painted buntings, wrens, titmice, chickadees, hummingbirds & MORE.  Sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous and seeing the light shift and the tide ebb and flow through the marsh grass is a real treat.  Watching boats head in and out of Old House Creek is fun too. Bring your binoculars and soak up the magic!  Birdseed is supplied for the feeders.

The treehouse is bright, open and comfortable and really brings the outdoors in.  Off of the 1st floor entryway there is a alluring bedroom suite (2 twin beds) with a deck overlooking the marsh and a full bath. Upstairs you'll find 2 bedrooms (each with a queen bed and adjustable base--great for reading in bed or day dreaming out the windows): the primary bedroom has a balcony overlooking the marsh and a full bathroom, and the 2nd bedroom has pretty vistas of the tree tops and a full bathroom adjacent to it.

The living room, dining room and kitchen are open and offer spectacular marsh vistas and space for you to savor one another or spread out.  And we just added a very cozy new living room sectional and swivel chair for you to relax in.  We know you will appreciate being immersed in the peacefulness of Fripp's marsh while only being a fast ride from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the island.  There is outdoor seating on the decks and around the property for you to appreciate your morning coffee, an afternoon drink, or a good book.  There is a game cupboard in the living space and a beach closet in the downstairs bedroom that includes bocce, cornhole, umbrellas, a shibumi shade tent and more.

A 4 seat golf cart is supplied and is a excellent way to discover the beauty of the island.  The beach is a short ride away and the Fiddler's crabbing dock is just down the street.  You are also welcome to use the adult tandem bicycle and 4 cruiser bicycles (4 helmets supplied). 

Thank you for you your interest in the Bird House--we know you'll adore it as much as our family does! :-) -The Fraser family

Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Reserve your Beaufort, SC rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect vacation home in Fripp Island:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Pets Considered, Golf Cart included - The Bird House has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Beaufort, SC destination you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for a great stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
