About this property

BEACHFRONT ACCESS 24/7.

Spring and Fall are spectacular on Fripp Island. Because the breakfast room blocks the wind, you can spend sunny days on the upper deck almost year round. The 3 outdoor decks are as beautiful as the interior. There are stunning ocean views from all the living areas and 2 of the decks. On the ground level, you will find a bedroom (2 twin beds) with an ocean view, private bath with shower and french doors opening onto the 20 x 30 ft. deck, a dining area, and a large outdoor shower. The main living areas and 4 other bedrooms are upstairs. Upstairs Bedrooms: (1) Master (King Bed) with its own private deck and private bath (with Steam Shower). (2) A small Bedroom (2 twin beds). This room has hanging hooks & storage bins but no closet. This room is suitable for young children. (3) Bedroom (King bed) which opens to a Bath with Jacuzzi (this bathroom also opens to the hallway - near the small twin bedroom). (4). The 4th upstairs Bedroom (King Bed) has a private bathroom with shower and some ocean view.
Ring doorbell and camera covers only the front door area and the front drive.
The home accommodates 10 people. (3 King beds and 4 twins). I of the twin rooms is a small sleeping room with no closet and it is only suitable for younger children. High Chair & Pack and Play provided upon request.
The Breakfast Room has 3 walls of glass with a view from 1 end of the Island to the other - a perfect place to have an early cup of coffee and watch the sunrise. For dining, the Breakfast Table seats 5, the Dining Table seats 8-10, and the picnic table on the upper deck seats 10. There is also a table with seating for 8 on the lower deck. There are 2 Seating Areas - a 23 x 18 Family Room with Flat Screen TV (seats 9 comfortably) and a room with a smaller seating area with a Fireplace. The Breakfast room has a Day bed and TV. The home has (2) WiFi, 6 TV's, trash compactor, and charcoal grill. There are 10 beach chairs and beach towels for your use. However, you may never want to leave the house or the upper deck! It's great to be able to watch your family play on the beach while you relax on the deck or prepare a meal. For security purposes, we installed a Ring doorbell and camera which only monitors the front door area and front driveway. If interested in using Fripp Island Resort amenities, inquire with owner about costs for Resort Fee and Guest Cards.

Great respite!
Our small family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this fabulous beach house! It was just what we all needed and the hosts couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. It had everything we needed. This is our second visit and since we like it so much we have made it our favorite family get-away. Thank you so much for welcoming us back!

About the host

Hosted by Rosanne McAlister

Host profile image
In 1999 we drove onto Fripp Island for the 1st time. That same day, without ever spending a night on Fripp Island, we put in an offer on our 1st home there. Best decision we ever made. In 2010, we bought 'Sea Oats'. Our daughters and sons in law and 5 grandchildren adore Fripp Island. It has given us years of many happy memories. And many families return to our home every year for their family’s vacation. We know 'Sea Oats' can be the same wonderful experience for you.

Why they chose this property

It’s all about The View!! Many people have told us that we have the best ocean view on Fripp Island. Since we are center island, it is wonderful to have a nice beach 24/7. Because of the home’s configuration, our upper deck is protected from chilling winds. On a 60 degree sunny day, our deck usually registers 70 degrees. So even in off season, it is a great place to enjoy the sun and ocean view. The upper deck has 6 chaise lounges and a picnic table for 8. The covered lower deck with ocean view provides a wonderful outdoor experience even on rainy days. We love looking up at the stars at night and the dolphins in the morning. Every year, sea turtles lay their eggs near our house. Wake up early and you might see a Mother Turtle going back to sea. Later in the summer, it is so fun to watch when the baby turtles hatch! The Master Deck is also the perfect private place to get some sun.

We loved the ocean view, Fripp Island’s soft, silky sand, and the style of the home. We like the fact that it is open yet it has several different seating and deck areas. So it is a great house for gathering together but also for finding moments of privacy. If interested in using Fripp Island Resort amenities, inquire with Owner about costs for Resort Fee and Guest Cards.

What makes this property unique

With additional payment of a Resort Fee (12.8 % or less of the base rate) and purchase of Guest Cards, you may access Fripp Island Resort amenities (you will order and make payment directly through the owner). Resort Amenities include restaurants, golf, tennis, pickleball, numerous pools, access to rent golf carts, kayaks, etc. through Fripp Island Excursions, Camp Fripp, etc.
Fripp Island can be a delightful vacation even without the Resort. Golf carts, bikes and kayaks can be rented nearby at Barefoot Bubba's (contact them at 843-541-3400 and barefoot-bubbas.com). Electric Golf carts can be rented through Suttcliffe Golf Carts (843-524-6502). There are several good restaurants within 10 miles of Fripp. And individuals offer fishing expeditions and lovely sunset cruises where you can see the dolphins. Instacart delivers from the Publix on Ladys Island to the house. A local company will set up tents on the beach for a fee. Sea Oat's center island location is perfect.
Fripp Island is a family island, and everyone rides around on golf carts. With a 15 - 20 mph speed limit, the pace is easy and safe. There are so many wonderful activities and learning experiences for children at nearby Hunting Island. Fripp Island is a nature preserve - a bird watcher's and photographer’s paradise. Tour Penn Center and study the Gullah culture. Horseback Riding Facility 10 minutes from Fripp. Art Galleries, great restaurants and shops in charming Beaufort by the Bay. Buy your fresh fish and garden vegetables along Highway 21.
