About this property

Beachfront Fripp Island home with ocean views and screened in deck

A two-story beach house with views from every room, Pelican Watch is a family-friendly escape steps from the ocean with a front-row seat to Fripp Island’s untouched natural beauty and wildlife. Listen for birds calling from your deck, walk along the sandy beach to search for turtles, shells and starfish, or simply take it all in from your screened porch.

The airy home greets you with an open floor plan and seamless flow between the living area, dining room and kitchen, featuring high ceilings and picture windows that bring the outdoors in. Inviting, contemporary-cottage decor and modern furnishings create a comfortable atmosphere with plenty of space to relax.

Take in a movie on the flat-screen TV from the sectional sofa, or prepare a summer meal in the gourmet kitchen, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances. Dine indoors at the family-style table, or step outside to the screened porch, furnished with a table and chairs for meals overlooking the ocean.

Pelican Watch sleeps up to 10 guests across four spacious bedrooms with a group-friendly bedding configuration:

Bedroom 1: King
Bedroom 2: Two Queens
Bedroom 3: Queen
Bedroom 4: Two Twins

The primary and guest primary have flat-screen TVs and en-suite baths, while the third and fourth bedrooms share a full bath with walk-in shower. All bedrooms have sliding glass doors leading to furnished outdoor space with beach or marsh views.

With direct access to the beach, you can also enjoy panoramic views directly from the shore. After a day of swimming and sand castles, take advantage of the outdoor shower and private washer & dryer.

With its open layout, ample outdoor spaces and beachfront location, Pelican Watch is an ideal escape for groups looking to rejuvenate by the ocean and explore the untouched natural beauty of Fripp Island.

Restaurants on the island
Our trip was great except the restaurants on Fripp Island require a membership to eat in the restaurant or to take food out! Seems prejudice to me!!!

Wonderful vacation
This house was perfect for us. We liked the split bedroom plan and the two masters. The screened in porch was an added bonus with our smallest family members. And Fripp is perfect for young children. Not too many waves. We all had a great time.

Great house!
Cannot beat the location of this house on Fripp for a quiet, adventure-filled stay. Our kids loved playing in the tide pools at low tide. The family loved swimming to and exploring Prichard’s Island. At high tide, plenty of waves to play in too. The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. We would love to come back!

Luxury Rental
From the moment we pulled up to Pelican Watch, we were blown away. Beautiful landscaping. Fresh paint. Thoughtful decor. Updated kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. *Incredibly* clean. Our family of six (kids 7, 6, 4, and 3) had everything we needed, from a huge fridge to melamine plates, safe and shady screened porch with hook lock doors, pristine linens and quality mattresses, beautiful bathrooms with storage, and even a tub for the littles. The beach was basically arms length away- such a short walk, and no shoes needed thanks to great upkeep! The tide pools were endless on this end of the island, and the kids soaked in the shallow water and chased minnows throughout low tide. Sunrise and sunset were incredible. This trip was a family favorite. We can’t wait to come back!

Great location and stunning views
We loved the very short walk to get on the beach and the stunning views from the indoor and outdoor porches. Being at the end of the island was very nice too and the traffic and crowds were minimal. Definitely a great place to stay.

It doesn't get any better! Ocean out the back door. Beautiful marsh views from the front. This home was very comfortable with everything you might need for a great stay. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook for a lot of people. They have books to read, games to play, sand toys for the beach. I would love to stay here again!

You feel like you are IN the ocean - lovely lovely lovely - cant say enough! Great location for privacy - like we had the beach to ourselves.

Fantastic, clean property - right on the water
We have been coming to Fripp for more than 30 years but this was our first time staying on this end of the island, which we deliberately chose based on the way the beach has eroded / shifted over time. We were very pleased with the decision and the direct beach access from the house. At high tide there was hardly any beach but it was great to hear and see the ocean. At low tide, there was amble beach for our family to run around, and it felt very private and secluded compared to the more crowded end of the island. The house was well maintained and very clean. Great layout for families. Another reviewer previously mentioned two issues to be aware of for families with young kids which I would also flag: the front door handles (facing the street) are easily accessible to toddlers, and there is no manual deadbolt or way to secure the doors, which created a safety issue. Not a deal-breaker, just required some extra vigilance or putting a chair in front of the doors. Also there are lots of delicate trinkets on the shelves . . . again, not a problem (and really lovely decorations) but something that needed to be watched throughout the stay even with a relatively calm toddler. The property management team was very responsive and efficient both before and during the stay when we had one question. Overall extremely pleased and would definitely book again for a return visit to Fripp.

Wonderful getaway!
This is an awesome property, great space for 4 adults and a 2 year old with room to spare. House was extremely clean, very short trip to beach and ocean views from most of the rooms too. Really a beautiful area. The house is in a quiet area of the island. If you’re looking for a lot to do other than beach and outdoors, probably not a good place for you. We were looking for a quiet beach getaway and couldn’t have asked for more. For those visiting, eating out in restaurants is not convenient! Deli at entrance to island had good options for quick food and lots of grocery needs, didn’t eat from the restaurant there. Johnson Creek Tavern is 10-15 minutes away from the home and food was excellent. The layout of the home felt very child friendly, except our 2 yr old could open door handles to front porch. Screened porch was super nice to let him roam some though. There are lots of breakable trinkets that had to be moved to make it child proof but otherwise perfect! No stairs inside to worry about and rental company provided a pack and play. Over all a fantastic vacation and would highly recommend.

PERFECT HOUSE AND LOCATION!
8 Mom-friends found this to be the perfect gettaway! Views from inside and out are breathtaking with the waves converging from all directions! House was immaculate, comfy, beautifully decorated, plenty of perfect seating inside and out...The kitchen had everything we needed and the ice machine was a wonderful bonus! Loved the option of outdoor shower. Nature abounded! Deer everywhere... we saw dolphins several times a day...and a very small shark jumping and feeding in the early evening...plus we saved an octopus that had come up too far on the rocks as the tide went out...We re-booked for next year within a week of returning!!
