About this property

Charming 2-bedroom waterfront retreat with breathtaking sunsets on Fripp Island

Enjoy a getaway like no other as you embrace million-dollar views without paying a million-dollar price tag!

Our 2-story, single-family home in the low country paradise of Fripp Island offers stunning, serene marsh views of the beautiful west-facing sunsets that paint the sky and is a quick 3 minute golf cart ride to multiple beach access points. This unique home is the perfect location for families to experience all the great adventures on Fripp Island. So come and rest at Salt & Light!

Our house sleeps 8 people - 1 King bed, 1 Queen, Bunk bed (2 Twins) and a Daybed (2 Twins). Sit on the screened-in back porch and enjoy the view of the marsh and wildlife while having your morning coffee or sipping your evening beverage. There is a picnic table outside along with a propane gas grill, 2-person hammock, and Adirondack chairs to sit back and relax while soaking in the views.

DISCLAIMER: Fripp Island club membership amenity cards are NOT INCLUDED with rental, which are required to access restaurants, tennis courts, and other resort amenities on the island.

The open layout on the first floor provides an updated, fully stocked kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink and vaulted ceilings in the living room create ample space throughout. New flooring and lighting offer a fresh and clean living space during your stay.

The unit comes with a starter set of essentials like 2 toilet paper rolls per bathroom, paper towels, Palmolive dish soap, 2 shampoo/bar soap, 2 trash bags, small trash bags for bathrooms and dishwasher pods. Nearby Springtide Market & Deli (located at the front of the island near the guard gate) stocks all essentials needed for a longer stay as well as grab-and-go groceries, liquor, beach accessories, and much more!

Our home is on the quiet and serene marsh side of Fripp Island with access to all the great adventures Fripp provides. A private, gated island known as a protected wildlife sanctuary, you can let nature reel you in while fishing, paddle boarding, bird watching, admiring the deer and all the island’s natural beauty. With private beach access, golf courses, tennis courts, biking trails, and a deep connection to nature, Fripp offers the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

Our hope is to make your stay hassle-free and as relaxing as possible as you enjoy the amenities of our home. With its welcoming and clean atmosphere, you’ll want to stay as long as you can to soak up the views and beauty of Fripp Island.

One of the bedrooms is on the first floor. It offers a queen bed with soft pillows, sheets, and a comforter. There are two closets and a wall-mounted tv equipped for streaming your favorite show. The room also provides extra sleeping space with a bunk bed with two twin mattresses.

Right outside this bedroom is the first-floor bathroom with a walk-in shower and all the essentials including fresh towels, a hair dryer, and starter set of shampoo and bar soap.

Front-loading washer and dryer are stacked in the hallway closet with detergent on hand. Please keep the door open while using the dryer to help the air flow within the closet and not overheat the dryer motor.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans, full sized refrigerator, stove top and oven, microwave, Keurig dual k-cup and drip coffee maker, and coffee grinder. A starter set of coffee pods will be available.

All your basic dining necessities are provided: plates, bowls, utensils, glasses and plastic drink ware, and wine glasses along with plastic dish ware for children.

The living room has a smart tv, large sectional couch, accent chairs, and coffee table. We ask that you do not move the furniture during your stay and use the provided coasters.

Up the spiral staircase is the 2nd bedroom loft, which has the capacity to sleep up to 4 guests. There is a king bed with soft pillows, sheets, and a comforter. Additionally, there is a twin day bed that provides an additional twin trundle underneath. A wall-mounted tv equipped for streaming and a picture window with sunrise views from a nearby easy chair completes the space.

The bathroom upstairs provides a walk-in shower and all the essentials including fresh towels, hair dryer, and starter set of shampoo and bar soap.

Downstairs, the screened-in porch offers breathtaking views of both the sunrise and sunset over the marsh. A lovely space to enjoy your morning coffee, dining, evening happy hour, while relaxing by soaking in the surrounding nature.

At the bottom of the front staircase is our guest storage closet. We provide chairs, Shibumi shade, boogie/skim boards, inflatable stand up paddle boards, fishing poles, crab catcher, bait bucket, and more!

Located just 20 miles from historic Downton Beaufort, South Carolina, Fripp Island is a gated, private island, comprised of about six and a half square miles. The views from Fripp Island are unlike any other in the Sea Islands, as Fripp is the most seaward of them all. The secluded island is located near Hunting Island, Harbor Island, Lady’s Island, and Parris Island.

You’ll have access to the full house except the locked owner’s closet in the upstairs loft.

DOGS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED. You will be asked to sign a pet agreement and pay a non refundable $150 pet fee for your dog (No Cats or other animals; only service animals are permitted). An additional $350 will be charged for guests that show up with a dog without approval. Also, please be sure to pick up your dog's waste outside and dispose of it accordingly. The side yard mulch should be a sufficient spot for your dog's business, but please keep the area tidy with respect for future guests.

Do not discard cooking oil or food down any of the drains. Do not move any furniture in the house, on the screened in porch, or outside.

Please be mindful around the spiral staircase inside the house and the proximity to the marsh. Be certain children and pets are supervised at all times.

Kindly be respectful of our home and future guests if your dog has been in the ocean, on the beach, or gone a bit too far into the marsh. We have a hose and sprayer outside by the front staircase to assist in adequately rinsing and drying them off before entering the house.

The home is a smoke free property. No smoking or vaping inside the house, screened-in porch, or any where on the property. There will be a $500 smoke remediation fee for the guest if smoking occurs inside the property.

If you rent the house, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the homeowner and any affiliates from all liability, harm, loss, costs, or damage in relation to your stay including usage of bicycles.

Make sure to view our guest book in the living room as it provides local restaurant recommendations and numerous activities that do not require amenity cards. Keep an eye on your email as we’ll send you a welcome book with countless more recommendations and ideas for your stay.

So come and rest at Salt & Light. We hope you enjoy your time as you become a local Fripp Islander during your stay.

*If interested in long-term stays up to or more than month, please reach out to us directly.*

This was just as expected! Super convenient for the Pledge the Pink Walk. The house was gorgeous. My teenage boys loved the wildlife. We had several deer frequent the back screened in porch area. They loved it so much, we are planning our next family vacay to Fripp. Thank you for having us as your guest! You have a beautiful home and we greatly appreciate the stay!

Relaxing & Refreshing Vacation

It was our first time on Fripp Island. Salt & Light was exactly as pictured and listed. I even saved some pictures of the furniture and decor on a Pinterest board. The view over the marsh was a stunning sunset every night. Definitely want to rent a golf cart and the trip to the beach was a snap. Comfortable house for our family of 5. We had a wonderful stay!

This amazing little house had everything we needed, and we were very impressed upon initial walk in. Very nice updates throughout the house, and I would gladly live on the screened in porch and enjoy those views forever. I would happily stay here again, no issues at all. The view is EVERYTHING
