Overview
*** 2018 update: Fripp Island beach accesses have been repaired after the hurricanes and there are more accesses than ever to our PRISTINE 3 MILES OF BEACH ***
*** This home has had a remodeled kitchen, featuring all new appliances, granite counter tops and a larger island; remodeled bathrooms; new wooden floors and carpeting throughout; new HD TVs, BlueRays, NetFlix and wiFi throughout; all in the last few years ***
The Sawgrass Bluff area is located on the marsh side of Fripp Island. It is a subtropical wooded area about a ten minute walk or a five minute ride to the beach in our complimentary golf cart.
When you look out our windows from the living area, you see palms and a lagoon, not another house next door. Out of the front windows is a view of the marsh. Residents and guests of this area have free access to a shared private swimming pool with restrooms and change areas all accessible via an electronic pool card. The pool is less than 100 yards from the house.
Adjoining the pool area is a small playground complete with a tree house, slide and swings. While the pool is just behind the house, it is far enough away not to bother your quietness.
Our renters also have access to a private crabbing dock extending into the marsh. This is a great place to catch crabs, fish, shrimp, or just sit and watch the wonders of marsh life or catch a fantastic sunset.
You can sit on our screened porch early in the morning and enjoy your breakfast among the beauty of nature without the press of humanity around you - or, perhaps catch a quiet nap on one of our loungers. We also have a sundeck for sunbathing in the privacy of our home instead of traveling to the beach.
Our complimentary golf cart (Fripp Island Resort rents them for $275 per week) is provided for use of LICENSED DRIVERS ONLY. Please make sure that you adhere to this licensed drivers only policy as the fine for violation is $200. This cart allows you to slowdown, leave the car behind, and tour the island from end to end counting deer roaming on the island or hunting for an alligator in the lagoons along the roadways.
Beach access is assured as each road leading from the main road to the beach has public access. In order that you enjoy your stay, we provide beach towels, beach umbrellas,surf floats sand chairs, and a few sand toys, so you don't have to pack them. We also have a charcol grill should you desire to use it.
Whether you are looking for a quiet place to read and refresh your spirit or a life style that is set up for family togetherness, Fripp Island offers a respite from the everyday routines of life.
You will find our kitchen well supplied with appliances and the necessary items to enable your full dining and cooking pleasures.
We have installed high speed internet (Comcast 20mbps) in our unit so you can keep up to date with all your contacts with wireless-N connectivity throughout the house. All TVs are Smart HDTVs with wireless access to the internet and free Netflix on each.
The bathrooms are freshly remodelled and we also stock them with a dozen each of bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths. Speaking of towels, we also provide a dozen beach towels.
We have two decks, one for sunbathing with supplied reclining chairs and one which is screened-in and has a table with chairs for relaxing in comfort.
You can park under our home and still have off street parking for three cars.
Our island is near historic Beaufort South Carolina with its historical tours and many fine eating establishments.
Once you have enjoyed the unspoiled life style of Fripp Island, walking the uncrowded beach where loggerhead turtles come to nest, you will wonder why you ever went anywhere else to get away from it all. Remember, vacations at the beach form memories that last forever.
No Smoking and No pets Please.

Reviews We stayed here for a week at the end of May. We would book this house again. It was perfect for us- two adults and one 5 year old. First of all we really enjoyed the golf cart. This is one of the highlights of our trips to Fripp - driving around the island in the evenings. Of course you can see the deer and great views of the ocean and sunsets. On our final night we pulled over to see a pod of dolphins playing near the shore. What a way to end the trip. All of the beach provisions was appreciated. I cannot stress this enough. Knowing that we didn't have to find sand toys, towels, beach chairs and umbrellas was wonderful. Everything was brand new for us (but we were early in the season) and it was just nice to not have to purchase those and leave them behind. We had plenty of beach towels and my 5 year old enjoyed the sand toys. We spent many hours on the beach. My only recommendation to renters- bring a large beach bag! You can carry this to and from the golf cart with all your towels and such. We also packed a soft cooler to bring to the beach with us as well. This was great for some drinks and snacks. There was also some crabbing gear - but we only did this one day. The crabbing dock in the neighborhood got hit by the hurricane so we had to drive to another. The house was lovely. It was well taken care of. The highlight was the screened in porch. We sat out there most nights and played games or listened to the frogs sing. No bug bites and the ceiling fan allowed for some much needed breeze. It was a great place to dry suits and towels as well. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. We hit the grocery store and the shrimp market before we hit the island. We used the grill one night as well. Everything was provided for that as well. My five year old loved the fact there was a TV in the bedroom. It was easy to hook up to Netflix and that was nice to spend some quiet time in a bedroom and away from mom and dad. We spent most of our time on the island. Many hours on the beach and in the neighborhood pool. We didn't miss the amenity card. If you don't feel like cooking - you can grab a sandwich or pizza at the small convenience store on the island - we always eat at the SHRIMP SHACK and Gullah Grub off the island. The only downside was we were unable to do a dolphin cruise on the island because you needed an amenity card to book. If you wanted to do one - you could find one off the island. We will book this house again! Thank you!
A beautifully maintained home with all the amenities we needed for our family to enjoy our stay at Fripp. We have definitely found the home we will rent for all of our future vacations. We enjoy and respect the love and care the owners give to their home. It's just what we were looking for.
This is a lovely home on a cul-de-sac away from the hustle and bustle of the resort area, which we particularly liked. It is fully equipped and comfortable for a truly home away from home feeling. I have been renting vacation homes for many years now and my standards are high. This property was everything I was hoping. The house was very clean and up to date. Master bedroom was very roomy and the kitchen had everything I needed, which was appreciated since we ate in most nights. The screened porch was great for evening conversations without worrying about bugs. It does back up to a community pool and while we had an issue one evening with teenagers in the pool after closing, Fripp Security was quick to respond to our call. For the most part, we heard very little from the pool. We were very grateful for the golf cart and when a problem arose with that our second day there, the management company was responsive and arranged for repair. We loved visiting Fripp Island and thank the owners for sharing their home with us as it truly was a delight.
This Fripp Island home is perfect for small families! The open kitchen, dining, and great room create a wonderful space for family time. We love the nearby Marsh boardwalk, riding the bicycles to watch the sunset at the end of the island, and taking the golf cart to the beach. WiFi works great, and the kitchen is generously sized and equipped for making meals. Highly recommend this home, this is our second year as guests!!
Wonderful open kitchen, dining, sitting area for a great family vacation. Comfortable, clean furniture in sitting area. Master bedroom is generously sized with a very nice bathroom. Other two bedrooms are small, but perfectly adequate. Easy parking under house. Well maintained golf cart and 3 nice bicycles. We had a couple of minor problems, which were quickly and completely resolved! Suggest you bring beach towels and chairs (if you want to stretch out or recline.). Loved the area with shady, overhanging trees. Just a pleasant bike ride across the boardwalk to the beach. House is a great value on Fripp, my favorite vacation spot ??
Wow! What a great place stay! Fripp Island is beautiful and this house matches its beauty.Clean, updated and has everything you need for a worry free stay. Comfortable beds and seating areas and the kitchen is divine! Thank you for a wonderful vacation stay!
This property was perfect. It was pristine, and very welcoming, right down to the fancy folded towels on the beds. It was an ideal location. It's apparent this is a family home, not just a rental, as it has everything you would need for a perfect stay; they thought of everything. I'll be reserving this property every year!
Beautiful home in a very quiet part of the island. Everything you need is in this house! Highly recommend and looking forward to staying here again.
The house was great! In a quiet area with a great screened in porch that you can sit on and relax. The inside of the house is beautiful, clean and very spacious. The swimming pool is very close and it is well kept also. There are plenty of places to fish and crab. We boiled crab one evening. We enjoyed every last minute of our vacation in this home. I would definitely recommend this house. Fripp Island is a great vacation spot.
Great house with lots of space . Pool within waking distance and golf cart use was a bonus!!! Owner and property manager were great during stay. My family and I appreciated the accommodations.
I was very impressed with how clean the house was upon our arrival- it was sparkling! The kitchen was great- nice big sink, lots of pots, pans, and dishes for cooking the fresh seafood we got at Gay's Seafood (a must!!!). the living room was very spacious and the furniture was comfortable and appeared almost new. The open format was great for hanging out as a family after a full day at the beach! We used the Netflix feature on the TV quite a few times and it was a nice feature! We played cards on the screened in porch at night and watched deer, alligators, etc from the deck. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly and the nearby pool was great! Though we walked to the beach several times, it was much quicker and easier to bring all our beach gear by golf cart. Plenty of perfect beaches with easy parking and access. We went to several different beach access points and enjoyed the variety! There were three adult bikes. One with questionable brakes. We used the charcoal grill, beach toys, beach chairs, and umbrella. Overall a good value for the money. Plenty of space for our family of six! I felt the website description was very accurate and corresponded to what we found when arriving!
What a beautiful home!!! My family and I have rented 4 other houses on Fripp, and this one is BY FAR the best!!! We WILL be back!
This was our third year staying at this rental house. We walked in this year and it was like we had just been there the day before, not a whole year ago! Feels just like home when we go now.
Great stay, lovely home, very well maintained. So peaceful!
Great vacation at Fripp! Our stay was wonderful and we all enjoyed your house--it was certainly a home away from home!! Can't wait until next year!!
We had an incredible week at Fripp!!! The accomodations were amazing! It was a home away from home! We are definately planning to return next year!! Thank you!
Fripp Island is a great vacation spot. Our rental home was beautiful and a good location on the island. It was also nice having the subdivision pool nearby. Our week was fantastic. We saw deer, alligators, snakes, starfish, dolphins, stingrays, horseshoe crabs, birds of all kinds. We went out with the turtle patrol, bright and early in the morning and got to see a mother turtle still on shore and then got to help relocate her eggs to another nest. It was a once in a lifetime experience!
