About this cottage rental

Ocean views and breezes near boardwalk.

This 1BR1BA guest house is approximately 10 few feet behind the main house. Parking for this is only in the dirt driveway that runs between the houses and the initial entry is the door between the 2 houses, which leads into the bedroom. You would then enter the living room/dining area and unlock the sliding glass doors.

Most of the deck and front sliding glass doors look out over an empty lot directly to the ocean, but the linoleum floors are badly worn and there is no dishwasher.

Enjoy uncrowded beaches, fishing, boating, and bike paths all over the island.

Fripp Island is a wildlife sanctuary, with deer grazing in the yards, over 170 species of birds, alligators in the lakes, dolphins playing in the waves, and Loggerhead sea turtles nesting and hatching on the shores.

I am not offering amenity cards this year and, as far as I know, the only way to get them is through a home owner who is offering them.

Great location - beach access is steps away. It was a quiet section of the beach with very few people around during our visit in July. Property- if you’re looking for amenities and updates this is not the place for you. I Don’t think it’s been updated since the 90s. The couches and bed were old and uncomfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were barely stocked. Beverly was very responsive and kind with our last minute booking. Overall this place was fine for a very last minute get away. I’m not sure how the price compares to other places on Fripp but it seemed expensive for what you get.

The location couldn’t be better. Without the amenity pass we were unable to use any pool or golf or restaurant. Also we could not connect to the Wi-Fi the password was wrong so we had to leave early cause my husband had conferences calls he had to be on Monday. We lost out on 2 days.
