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!

Great Family Vacation

It was a wonderful week with our family. Our only complaint was that the children's pool at 2 locations were closed for maintenance (we had 3 little ones) so we only ended up using the amenities once. The beach is expansive with plenty of room to play and the accomodations were wonderful.

Spectacular!

This home exceeded my expectations, which were high already. So many thoughtful touches throughout the house. It is bigger than I expected and had lots of areas where you could have your own space. The homeowner was very thorough and timely with her communications. Overall the best VRBO that we have ever had

We had a great family vacation.

This was our third visit to Sea Oats. On this occasion we had the entire family and enjoyed a memorable beach vacation. The home itself is outstanding and is located in the middle of the island. The view's are wonderful and we as a family took advantage of the amenities, including enjoying each of the golf courses. The owner is wonderful to work with and we have already scheduled a week for next year.

Fantastic Family Vacation

Sea Oats is absolutely fantastic. The location right beside the public walkway was great especially if you are taking a lot of stuff to the beach with you as we did with two small children. Rosanne was super. She had instructions with everything in the house and offered suggestions for eating, sightseeing and even golf cart rides. Her house is beautiful with the best view. We would definitely like to stay again

Great location

Pros: House is on an excellent part of the beach with some sand all day, but not a huge hike to the water. Very clean, well-maintained property. Beautiful outside seating area downstairs. Homeowners were great. There was an issue with one of the A/C units and they literally had someone out in less than two hours to fix it. We were extremely grateful for that! There are two extra mini-fridges in the kitchen that are great for cooling drinks & bottled water without taking up food space in the main fridge. Con: One of the bedrooms is so tiny that there is not even room for two people to walk past each other. No dresser, no closet, not even room to sit a suitcase on the floor. It is an okay space for one person to sleep, but it’s not really a “bedroom.” There were multiple cabinets with tons of cups & kitchen gadgets, but no pantry space to store a week’s worth of food for an entire family.

Location, Location…and a Spectacular House

I recently organized a beach trip for some of our Colorado friends and the choice of the house at 707 Flying Fish made me look like a Rock Star. The VRBO descriptions, amenities and images are all that and more. The house is absolutely spectacular and overwhelmingly beach comfy with several living spaces both inside and out that can accommodate everyone’s needs (rain or shine). The house is at one of the best locations on Fripp Island—directly beach front, adjacent to a boardwalk for beach access, and within walking distance to the Beach Club. Even on the weekends, the boardwalk and beach were never excessively crowded. We cooked most nights and the kitchen was well appointed and could easily accommodate three people working at once. Take your pick from four different eating areas: The sunroom or dining room (inside) or the picnic table on the deck or the dining table on the downstairs lanai. I have to admit we spent quite a bit of time on the lanai downstairs that’s furnished with outdoor furniture, TV and small refrigerator. All the bedrooms were very comfortable with plenty of bathroom space for our group. Rosanne, the owner, was so welcoming and accommodating. She truly wanted to make sure our stay was an outstanding experience. I’ve rented a lot of houses on the beach in South Carolina and this was hands-down the best beach experience, not only for me but also for all my Colorado guests. Everyone is already talking about coming back next year!

Family stay at the Sea Oats

We had a wonderful time at the Sea Oats on Fripp Island. We love how the house is decorated - perfectly matched and tasteful. The combination of the bright light, the unobstructed view of the ocean, and the beach themed interior, gave us an immediate vacation feeling that stayed with us during our time on Fripp. The home is well cared for inside and out and has everything you need for your stay. From the moment we first booked, the property manager has been very helpful, providing us with information, and kindly answering our questions.

Wonderful Ocean Front Escape

This house is in an ideal location mid island. It is ocean front with beach access all day. It’s just off of Tarpon blvd, but far enough away to cut down on the noise of the golf carts cruising by. The house itself was well furnished and comfortable, with amazing views. The deck is great for lounging in the sun and listening to the waves crash. If you prefer shade, there is a cozy area with plenty of seating underneath. Rosanne was great at communicating and made the whole process very easy and a pleasant experience. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

Words and pictures would never do it justice

This house is AMAZING. We had a family vacation of 3 families here, which included 6 adults and 3 young children. The photos and description really could never do this place justice. The house itself is sparklingly clean and tastefully decorated, and there was ample space for our families to have the option of spending time together in nice communal spaces or enjoying some privacy in our large en suite rooms or outdoor spaces. And of course THE VIEWS--breathtaking, spectacular. You can be on the beach in about 30 seconds. You just can't beat that. The communication and check-in/check out process was seamless and easy. We all felt sad leaving and hope to be able to spend time at this gem again in the future. Highest recommendations!!

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).

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.
