Carolina Girl Fripp Island
Perfect Location Mid Island, Close to the Beach, with a Dock and Golf Cart
A charming and completely refurnished third row beach house for you to make your vacation home with family and friends. Two minutes by golf cart from Fripp Island's beach, which is over 3 1/2 miles of pristine, uncrowded, white sandy bliss. 3 bedroom/3 bathroom, the Carolina Girl sleeps 8 and includes a shared dock on a tidal creek with direct access to the ocean. It is a dream for crabbing, boating, and paddling. Set aside your daily routine and enjoy life the Fripp Island way. Cruise around on the Carolina Girl’s golf cart to check out the sights on the island. Listen to the ocean waves while taking in the beautiful view of the creek from the screened-in back porch. Fripp Island is about 3000 acres of natural wonder which has been designated as a Wildlife Sanctuary. You will see plenty of alligators, deer, and birds. And Fripp is only a short trip from Beaufort, SC and Savannah, GA.
Your mood will brighten as you enter the home and take in its light, beachy décor. As you walk by the bar and wine cooler, you will be greeted with a stunning view of the canal. The kitchen appliances are all stainless, and the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and all the comforts of home. The main living area is an open concept that allows you to gather for dinner or movies.
The house has one bedroom on the main living floor which holds a queen size bed and has a full bathroom. The master bedroom (king size bed) and second bedroom (queen size bed and bunk beds) are upstairs, both with ensuite bathrooms. All bedrooms come with Roku TV (access to streaming services and free TV). There is a gas grill available for you to “put the sear on” your preferred protein, whether that be steak or fresh seafood. The screened-in back deck overlooking the canal is a constant favorite. Enjoy your morning coffee or your evening cocktail on the porch while listening to the ocean waves and feeling the ocean breeze.
The house sits way back from the road after a long driveway, and behind a stand of 50 foot tall pines and palm trees. So, there is privacy from the road, and there is plenty of space for parking up to 4 cars.
The house is centrally located on the island, so just a short distance to many of the most popular resort amenities, if you choose at your option to purchase the resort’s club cards that will provide you with access to these. The Carolina Girl is a 3 minute golf cart ride to the Cabana Club (with its pools and wet bar), and Camp Fripp. We are also close to the Bonito Boathouse restaurant. The 15th hole of the Ocean Creek golf course is right at the end of the driveway, with the Ocean Creek clubhouse just a short walk. Finally, the family playground, which also has basketball and volleyball courts, is within walking distance for even the youngest of family members.

We have stayed on Fripp several times and have never been disappointed! This property was perfect location, perfect size and well decorated. The owner was very responsive to any questions that came up. The canal location was our preference for crabbing and catch and release fishing. Located near the play ground and golf club with a golf cart to sport around in. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs. Highly recommend! Ed and Shelley were the perfect hosts.

What a wonderful week!
We had a fabulous stay here at Carolina Girl. From the pre-planning to the last day...everything was seamless. Ed and Shelley have the best guest book I have ever seen at a property. This was emailed to us after the booking (and there in the house, too). So many tips and recommendations are included! They even made sure we had a list of all the Thanksgiving activities that were going on that week.
The house is absolutely beautiful....wonderful view and stocked with everything we needed. The location was great being right in the middle of everything. Our nine year old daughter had a blast everyday with the many activities going on. It was our first trip to Fripp Island and we would love to go back and stay here at Carolina Girl again!

Perfect getaway!
This house is even better than the description. We loved fishing off the dock and all of the outdoor space and seating. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the accommodations were clean and comfortable! The host Ed was an excellent communicator, and we had an on island property manager for any needs during the week. We will be back to Carolina Girl!

THE BEST VACATION HOME YOU WILL EVER VISIT!
My family of five (three young boys ages 4-9) spent a week at this vacation home and had the BEST time.
The home itself is even better in person. The whole home is calming and from the beautiful decor to extra large comfortable towels...You will feel like you are at a luxury hotel. The home was very clean, the beds were extremely comfortable and the layout is spacious. The bathrooms are very large and again, the towels were perfection...not cheap and scratchy but big and soft.
The kitchen had everything you would ever need and more. Every kitchen item was top shelf brands that were durable with room for all your pantry items.
The TV's in every room were easy to use and the sound in the living room felt like you were in a theater.
As loud as my children are, if you shut the door and sat on either of the front or back porches, noise immediately ceased. The doors are that sound proof. The back porch was my favorite place to sit...the screened in porch kept bugs out but the cool wind in. It was beyond relaxing to sit on the couch/chairs either on the upper or lower deck to read and rest. The back porch alone is the reason we will be going back. But even better than the back porch was watching my husband and boys fish and crab off the back deck. The owners provided everything and we made life long memories on that deck...and on the golf carts that is spectacular.
There truly aren't words to capture how special this home is...we loved it and we will be going back!
