A few notes about the island - We are club members which means that the Club amenity cards are available for purchase.


***The Fripp Island Club requires amenity cards for you to frequent their amenities. These amenities include golfing, playing tennis, going to the restaurants on Fripp, going to the swimming pools and the fitness room.
The amenity card prices for stays that are 1-4 days are $35 during the summer months and $25 during Fall, Winter and Spring.
The amenity card prices for stays that are 5-8 days are $50 during the summer months and $35 during Fall, Winter and Spring.
If you do want to purchase the amenity cards, the resort will add an additional island fee of 13% to your rental to use their amenities. This will be added to your weekly stay at time of amenity card purchase.
Each guest 13 years or older must carry an amenity card to access the Club's facilities.
There are a few places on Fripp Island that you do not need an amenity card. SpringTide Market is at the front of the island that has a large menu at their deli. From breakfast sandwiches to family BBQ meals, there is a lot to choose from. There is also a deli at the Marina that serves sandwiches and salads. The Fripp Ship and Mango stores are fun to go into for your perfect souvenir. You do not need an amenity card for golf cart, kayak, bike, etc. rentals as there are an abundance of companies who offer rental services that will deliver to you.

Love, love, love! We’ve visited Fripp many times over 30 years. This house quickly became our favorite. Our host Kathy was quick to respond, the house was spacious and well appointed. Best location with a nearly private beach. Grandkids loved the wide beach and searching for crabs. Can’t wait till next year!

Fourth bedroom is loft with little privacy. The house was well equipped with whatever you may need! Overall, our stay was very enjoyable!

Super easy beach access

Great views, very easy quick beach access. While babies napped inside I was still able to see family on the beach and enjoy views from large deck facing ocean. House was very clean! I gave four stars only because, if the kitchen and furniture were updated this would definitely be a five star stay. Kitchen is well stocked. There is plenty of lounge space for down time for a family of 10. We would stay here again, for sure!!

Family beach trip

This is our 3rd year at the pink palace. We love the location. We love the proximity to the beach and the beauty of waking up with the waves and sunrise with a cup of coffee. Great place to hang with our adult kids. After three years, we thought we would have an update on appliances and things like icemaker. The place is outdated for the price that they are charging.
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 23 June 2024
Ouch! Ok…We replaced the refrigerator and added a new ice maker just yesterday, actually right after you left. The stove/oven is a Jennair and works perfectly fine. The dishwasher is fairly new. So all things are completely functional. We do have plans to remodel the kitchen this winter. So check out us for next summer. We will give you a discount since you’re a repeat and you were not completely 5 star satisfied. But remember…. The listing pictures do tell the story. If the picture of the kitchen looks the same as when you rented before, it should not be a surprise that it is still the same as the previous 2 years.

Long Weekend at the Pink Palace

The location of this property is wonderful, with beautiful views and easy beach access. The deck overlooking the beach is a delightful place to sit. The arrangement of the house is good for family groups - 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs, and a loft with a bed and bathroom. The living area can accommodate about 8 people easily, and the dining table is huge. The house could use some updates and repairs, but there was nothing that interfered with our enjoyable weekend.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Nov 2020
Thank you for the list of items that you found that we could repair and make things even better for our guests. Ocean front houses are so beautiful but the salt air takes a toll on the hardware of the outdoor fixtures, etc. Thank you again for your comments. We will have the slider working with more ease and hopefully each and every Adirondack chair will be restored to beauty!

Hello 2020!!!

We spend 4 nights and 5 days closing out 2019 and ringing in 2020. The home was comfortable, colorful and completely met our needs for being close to nature, doing some good cooking in the kitchen and spending time just relaxing and being together. We would definitely stay here again and hope to come back to Fripp Island.

Family vacation

Our second year at the Pink Palace. Couldn't have a better Fripp Island beach location. Coffee on the porch watching the waves and dolphins in the surf is a great way to start the day. Noticed some of the updates from last year including the linens, ceiling fans, and new paint. Kitchen is appropriately equipped. Love the outdoor shower. Already looking forward to next year.

Myself, my husband, mother in law, 6 year old daughter and 10 year old Golden Retriever spent April vacation here. The house is gorgeous, spacious, clean and right on the beach. We had a wonderful time exploring the island and just relaxing. We cooked all our meals there and the kitchen had all the pots and pans and utensils we needed. My mother in law enjoyed the books and puzzles that were available to use. The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommend this property.
