About this house rental
Look 4 BR 3 BA Sleeps 10 OCEAN IN FRONT GOLF COURSE in BACK---Private
“Hooked on Higher Porpoise”
Absolutely Beautiful Home with Unbelievable Views that change throughout the day!!!
Four Bedroom House sits elevated above the Atlantic Ocean.
Fishing boats and dolphins pass by so close you can see the dolphins feed and blow through their blowholes often with babies following. As the tide changes throughout the day so do the views. Something is always putting on a show, whether it's the sunrise, eagles and ospreys catching fish in their talons, deer walking or running by, fishermen catching crabs or fish, or the dolphins!! It's truly amazing to watch from the 4 rocking chairs on the spacious front porch and balconies (4 more rocking chairs) while you sip your favorite drink, relax, read, or enjoy your family and friends.
This house is on the 18th fairway of Ocean Point Golf Course.
The beach is close by and there is a private outside shower attached to the back of the house to wash the sand off when you return.
Swimming pools? The Fripp Island Club alone boasts nine sparkling pools. The Cabana Club offers multiple choices-a magical lagoon-style pool with waterfalls, cascading flowers, islands and caves, an oval oool and a kids' pool with a giant frog slide.
Club cards are required to enjoy any of the Fripp Island Resort amenities and they are available for purchase with this property. If you opt to purchase cards, a new 12.8% resort fee based on the rental amount before taxes, cleaning and other fees will be charged in addition to the cost of the individual Club cards.
Sitting & rocking on the front porch overlooking the ocean is a favorite pastime while drinking your favorite beverage and sharing stories. You won't want to leave. You will be at one of the best places on the island. The privacy is splendid!
The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to create wonderful meals. Fresh shrimp, oysters, crabs, grouper and other seafood is available for purchase close by. Cook in the kitchen or on the Blackstone gas grill. There is a wine fridge, excellent dishwasher, plenty of counter space, and many odds and ends you won't find in other homes. Fun dishes and a great blender for those "Jimmy Buffet" drinks!
This home is appointed to please others. Our private housekeeper prides herself in being the best and maintains the house remarkably well. She believes "good enough seldom is"!
There are three garage doors downstairs housing two golf carts, four bicycles, beach toys, a propane Blackstone grill, a ping pong table and ample space to park two cars. The driveway can easily hold six more cars, so parking is not a problem.
There are deer all over the place and easy to spot out the kitchen window, particularly early in the morning and just around sunset. The backyard leads onto the 18th fairway just below the tee-box. Looking down the fairway to the east is the Atlantic Ocean just a few feet behind the 18th hole.
There are 3 Smart TVs in the house with high speed internet. If there's a rainy day you might want to access Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, or any streaming account you have.
Downstairs features a full bath, combination bedroom/game-room with games, puzzles, a pool table and a couch for relaxation.
Two Yamaha Golf Carts (2018) ARE INCLUDED in your stay – no need to rent golf carts separately!

Well stocked, very clean. The home was great for two families. View of the water was a daily highlight and the wind off the water kept bugs away. Two golf carts made driving around the island very convenient. The kitchen and living area was large and didn’t feel crowded when everyone was the space. We would book this home again.

We had a wonderful visit. The views off of the front porch are fantastic; this is where we spent most of our time. The house was perfect for our family. We hope to be able to return soon!

We loved the home. The view was incredible!! We woke before sunrise each morning just to enjoy the view. The home provided everything we needed. The 2 golf carts were perfect for our family and the bikes were a hit!! The weather wasn’t so great for us a few days but the games that were provided filled our time with laughter and fun! The complimentary wine and snacks were so sweet. We will definitely be staying again!!
