Set your alarm for a rendezvous with nature's impressive spectacle and get ready for one of the best sunrise experiences on the island!

Grab a single serving of Joe from the Keurig or indulge in the rich aroma of an entire pot from the classic drip maker. As the sun begins its ascent, the skyline transitions from hues of blue and purple to a vibrant canvas of pink and orange, marking the official commencement of the day's adventures.
With sunrise in the books, it's time to kick off the day's adventures! Load up the cooler, your favorite beverages, grab the complimentary beach chairs and body boards and hop aboard the 4-person golf cart. The first beach access is less than 5 mins. from your doorstep. For younger guests seeking a break from salt and sand, Davis Adore Park offers the ideal playground getaway. Basketball and volleyball courts, playground equipment, and even a pirate ship, there's no shortage of fun to be had.
After a sun-kissed day of beachside fun, pull around to the back of the home to unload the beach chairs, seashell souvenirs, and take care of those sandy feet at the outdoor shower before heading upstairs for dinner. At the Marsh Mellow, your every culinary whim is catered to with a well-equipped kitchen. Prefer a backyard culinary experience? Grab some burgers or steaks and toss them on the propane grille or go low and slow on the classic charcoal grille. Dinner's ready! Grab family/friends and meet in the dining room where there's room for 4 at the round table and 2 more can belly up to the bar. If you prefer to savor the evening breeze, move dinner outside to the rear balcony where there's seating for 4 at the outdoor dining table.
After dinner, relax with a Netflix movie on the 65" flat screen, surf the web via the high-speed internet, or opt for a more spectacular view by grabbing your favorite drink and heading out to the front-side balcony, where you can marvel at the sunset just behind the Marina Store and Deli. With seating for 2, and an invigorating breeze, it's the ideal spot to savor the moment. Sunset also marks the ideal time to embark on an island adventure on the golf cart. Cruising Fripp is a must! As nighttime settles in and the days adventures fade into memories, you have the luxury of choosing between 2 master suites, each promising unparalleled comfort. The king beds beckon, promising a nighttime of restorative sleep while the en-suite bathrooms offer convenience and privacy.
Fripp's not just a vacation spot, it's an experience. Come see for yourself. We would adore to host you at the Marsh Mellow!

How to find the best rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. Book your rental property 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 find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Beaufort, SC area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting and booking your Beaufort, SC rental home:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Stunning Sunrise and Sunset Views, King Suites, and Double Balconies. Premium Golf Cart Included, and Well-Behaved Pets Considered - 861 Bonito Rd has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Have a great stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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 vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
