The Otter House is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath bungalow with a beachy vibe and a captivating view of Blue Heron Lake. Spotting gators sunbathing on the banks, mullet jumping, and the ever-changing parade of birds provides Lowcountry casual entertainment all day. The huge rear deck is the ideal place to hang out, boasting something for everybody with a raised outdoor lounge, a 6-person dining table, and a bar top offering front row vistas of the lake and deer that frequently pass through the back yard.

Every detail was carefully considered during a full remodel finished in 2023. Inside you can chef it up in the gourmet kitchen with vistas of the lake or lounge on the comfortable couch. When the day is done, retire to one of three well-appointed bedrooms. Each of the primary and guest bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, and the 4-twin bunk room has a full bath across the hall.

In the morning appreciate your coffee while you watch the sun rise over the lake. Take your pick for coffee: old school drip, Keurig, or Philips 3200 Series Entirely-Automatic Espresso Machine with LatteGo + Iced Coffee Maker. As the day heats up, savor plenty of ice from our dedicated ice machine in the walk-in pantry. Fill your cooler and your insulated cup, grab a few chairs from our beach gear stash, hop on the rental golf cart supplied, and take the 5-min. ride to the beach.

If the beach isn't your thing, you can always play pickle ball or tennis, work out in the new gym, take in any one of numerous pools on the island (adult, Olympic or Cabana Club), throw a line in at the fishing pier or Bonita Bridge, play at either of the two spectacular golf courses on the island, shoot some hoops at the club or Davis Adore Park, horseback ride at Camelot Farms, book a captained ride on the Lil' Fripper or the Fripper II, rent your own boat for the day, or hop on one of the bicycles in our stash and go for a ride on the bicycle path. How ever you spend your day, we hope you relax and enjoy this place as much as we have.

A 4-seat Fripp Island Resort golf cart is included with your stay (excluding monthly units). Many guests park their cars upon arrival and use the golf cart as their primary form of transportation. It is a great way to leisurely take in the natural breathtaking beauty of the island. After dinner, hop on the golf cart and head to the Food Court for some ice cream!

Also supplied with your rental are up to 8 guest cards, with a value of up to $400. These cards are required for access to all resort amenities, including golf and tennis courses, eateries and bars, swimming pools, and more. Guest cards offer exclusive access to discounted prices on golf and tennis.

Stressful day? What are you waiting for? Go ahead and book your next get away today. We don't ask for a giant commitment, and you'll feel much better once you've locked in some dates. Unlike many properties on the island, this beach bungalow can be booked for just a 2 nighttime minimum off peak and 4 nighttime minimum for peak.

No family pets.

*Note with gators in the water and all, it isn't safe to swim, boat or fish in Blue Heron Lake. No worries, there are plenty of other places on the island to do those things.

Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal SC. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Beaufort, SC visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to pick the best rental in the Beaufort, SC area:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. The Otter House - New to VRBO! Resort Access Included! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Beaufort, SC vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Beaufort, SC beach you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. 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 terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
