A Nature Lover's Heaven:  Savor 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 delightful 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 handsome 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 appreciate 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 savor your morning coffee, an afternoon drink, or a good book.

A 4 seat golf cart is supplied and is a fabulous way to discover the beauty of the island.  The beach and all of the amenities of Fripp are only 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).

How to book the best Fripp Island rental experience:

When to book a Beaufort, SC rental & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Beaufort, SC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Beaufort, SC area travel guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, SC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Pets Considered, Golf Cart included - The Bird House has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Beaufort, SC attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. message the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
