A Nature Lover's Heaven:  Appreciate elevated and broad vistas of the ever changing marsh and the wildlife that comes through it from a Fripp Island Treehouse.  You'll see herons, egrets, osprey, eagles, woodstorks, jumping fish, fiddler crabs, deer and racoons too.  And the modest 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 beautiful 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 included 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 pretty 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 charming 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.  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 beverage, or a good book.

A 4 seat golf cart is included and is a incredible 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 2 cruiser bicycles (2 helmets supplied).

Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Beaufort, SC area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Beaufort, SC area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, SC area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Choose your vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Pets Considered, Golf Cart included - The Bird House has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
