Other things to note:
Booking directly with the Fripp Island property owner, whether through their own website or other portals such as VRBO or others, etc., provides the financial advantage of flexibility compared to reserving through the Fripp Island Resort. When booking through the Resort, guests are automatically charged a 12.8% resort fee on the nightly rate, regardless of whether they intend to use Resort amenities. However, when renting from a homeowner who is a Resort member, guests have the choice to purchase amenity cards if they wish to access Resort facilities or save that money for other vacation experiences—such as off-island dining, excursions, golf cart rentals, or other activities. This flexibility allows guests to customize their Fripp Island experience based on their preferences and budget while still enjoying the comforts of a beautiful vacation rental.

We are Resort Members and are happy to assist you if you would like Resort access for your vacation. It is completely up to you how you prefer to vacation—Fripp Island offers a magical place to relax and renew, with or without Resort amenities. Whether you choose to explore nature, enjoy the beach, or simply unwind on the marsh, your time here will be unforgettable.

*FRIPP ISLAND RESORT AMENITIES AVAILABLE FOR ADDITIONAL FEE:
Beaches, nature trails, bike paths, etc., are freely accessible as guests of our home; however, Fripp Island Resort amenities are available exclusively to Amenity Card Holders. If friends or family would like to enjoy Fripp Island Resort amenities—golf courses, swimming pools, club restaurants—they are available at additional costs the resort charges.

Access to Fripp Island Resort Amenities:
Resort Fee - 12.8% in addition to your rental agreement base rent price (excluding taxes and cleaning fees if charged on less than one week stays), PLUS
Amenity Card Fees - 2025 Rates
Prime Season: $59 (7-day) or $39 (3 night/4-day)
Off-season $39 (7-day) or $28 (3 night/4-day)
If you decide to order resort access, we will include two FREE 7-day amenity cards with your weekly reservation.

Delightful Fripp Island experience

We had a wonderful stay and the house was perfect. It had great amenities and was well stocked with everything a family will need. The communication with the host was excellent and she was very attentive and quick to respond to all questions. I will absolutely try to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended.

Long Relaxing Weekend

We needed a place with private BRs/BAs and an elevator. This place was perfect. The home had been modified to allow wheelchair mobility. We spent mornings on the screen porch, days at the pool or beach, and evenings relaxing in the den. Kitchen was well stocked. Great marsh views and responsive host. We will be back!

This home is beautiful and was a great asset to our vacation. 91 year old Dad was able to use the elevator and golf carts were extra handy, especially with handicapped access availability on the beach. The screened porch in back was a great morning coffee/bird watching/family gathering spot. ABSOLUTELY recommend this place!

This is the perfect home for family gatherings and for members of your family that need assistance. The elevator and golf carts with handicap decals allowed family to enjoy the beautiful beach at Fripp. My parents want to know the mattress company name for the bedding in the master bedroom on the first floor.

Family visit for baby shower

We had a large group of extended family in town for a shower and wanted to stay together. The house was very nice and well maintained, the host was wonderful also. The disappointing part is the extra fees that Fripp charges. I paid over $500 for amenity cards and only 3 people were ever asked to show them the entire weekend. It was a waste of money on top of the amount already spent.

Best Wedding Ever!

A truly beautiful place to host a small wedding! Our closest family and friends gathered for a weekend of festivities at the Barnes' home. Not only was Fripp the perfect place to host a wedding but this home made for a wonderful gathering place and reception area. In planning for this weekend I had a million questions and Joan was so gracious in answering all questions and providing help. The backyard situated on the marsh with a beautiful porch created a magnificent place for our reception. The home was large enough to fit people coming and going throughout the weekend. The kitchen was perfect for the caterer to prepare. The golf carts were so helpful carting people around the island. I can't thank Joan enough for allowing us to have such an incredible wedding at her home!

About the host

Hosted by Joan Barnes and David Patzke, Owners

Host profile image
4RentOnFripp,LLC owns the luxury vacation home on the Marsh at Fripp Island, SC. Joan and her husband Dave are both active owners who make sure your vacation is the best it can be.

Why they chose this property

We came to Fripp Island as something new and different to do with the kids for vacation. They enrolled in Camp Fripp and we took off on the golf cart exploring the island and just fell in love. Now with this home and 6 homesites, we still enjoy the magic of Fripp.

What makes this property unique

The party deck has two picnic tables with benches, a round conversation table with 4 chairs, a bar, built in seating around the perimeter, grill and the most amazing sunsets on Fripp each night! A water house is built-in so for nights when you want to have a low country boil with friends and family, your clean up is as easy as a few good minutes with the hose and you are ready for the next meal. Kids of all ages love the deck.
