Welcome to our newest Surf Shack! Our recently purchased Surf Shack IV is on Fripp Island in the Fiddlers neighborhood, right off of Tarpon. We are across the street from “Hannah’s Park", on a large, wooded lot with southern front porches, rocking chairs and fans to keep the salty ocean air moving.
Surf Shack IV does not have a rental history but we have had several groups of friends stay to give us feedback so we could provide the best vacation for you and your group....
"We got to stay here a couple of weeks ago, and we miss it badly. The neighborhood is quiet and calm. It was easy to take walks, to ride bikes and to head over to Hannah’s Park, just across the street. This Southern beach house is taking on a great, fun personality, with double rocking chair porches and set under the shade of pine trees and palm trees. Most of the furniture and appliances in the house are brand new. It was very clean, comfortable and relaxing! Coming in off the hot, sandy beach, I loved the AC staying at a consistent temperature throughout the house. I loved that there was plenty of hot water. LOL! I loved the large dining table for all of us to sit around while we ate and played cards. I loved rocking on the porch in the cool night air listening to the night noises and, later, rocking in the early, still mornings watching the deer hanging out in the yard. And, I loved sleeping on cool, fresh sheets and a very comfortable mattress! We hope to return next year!"
Everything in the house has been newly purchased with your best and most comfortable experience in mind. We allow you to have full control over the thermostat during your stay. We have ceiling fans and added some standing fans too. There is also an air purifier to collect allergens.
We sleep 13 in beds with all new mattresses, organic linens, Casper pillows, and ample lighting for reading while you drift off to sleep. Or if TV is your preference, we just added new TV’s in all bedrooms.
We include a Limo golf cart for touring the island, going to dinner or the short ride to your favorite beach access! We have 31 beach accesses and they all have different paths, board walks, and views!
We also include 8 beach bikes, beach chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards. In the large yard, there is a fire pit with Adirondack chairs and a hammock swing. And in the garage you can enjoy a fun game of Ping Pong on our new table with new equipment.
We have an extra refrigerator in the garage, large washer & dryer, place to hose off. We also have a weber charcoal grill and a new gas grill with a burner for you to use.
We include a Hunting Island State Park pass for you to enjoy while renting Surf Shack IV. Climb the lighthouse, walk the “bone yard”, find your favorite shell or our favorite hobby, searching for sharks teeth and other cool fossils.

Thank you Robert. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our home. And had a great vacation. “The tiny but mighty kitchen “! Lol. I hear this a lot. The people who built this home did not spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but dined out Or ordered to go food from the restaurants. Using the house for sleeping, dining and sitting on the porches. Fun times at the beach! Come back when you can and thanks for staying with us, Kathy
The golf cart was nice to have as well as the bikes, a big plus. The beds were very comfortable. Though the kitchen was small, we had minimal trouble with this, it was generally well-stocked and plenty of room for 1 person at a time cooking. Having beach towels available was a big perk as well. We loved the fire pit and the wood provided. We had a great stay!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for taking the time to share your experience! We are delighted that you enjoyed the home, its beautiful setting, and all the space it offers for gathering, relaxing, and making memories.
And yes—the kitchen is small but thoughtfully appointed, with high-end appliances and everything needed to make preparing meals at the beach feel effortless. While it may not offer a lot of room to spread out, it is well equipped for preparing family meals and enjoying lingering time together.
This home is meant to be more than simply a place to stay—it is a spacious coastal retreat where families and friends can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy all that Fripp Island has to offer. We are so happy you appreciated the home and hope you’ll return for another wonderful stay. It was a pleasure having you, Kathy
We had a great time. House was perfect. Kids loved riding the bikes. Golf cart came in very handy each day. Lots of deer for kids to pet. Kathy always responded to our questions immediately. We liked the entire vibe of Fripp Island. Everyone we encountered was warm and friendly. We extended our stay we enjoyed it so much. We will return next year, God willing.

You guys were such a pleasure. We love that you had such a fun time. We can’t wait for you to come back and fill our house and island with joy! We need lots more folks just like you to come and have a great vacation on Fripp Island, Kathy
This was our 3rd family visit to Fripp. This place did not disappoint. Kathy was super helpful and extremely responsive. The house had plenty of space and the location was phenomenal!! The Fiddlers Cove neighborhood is quiet and perfect. The crab dock and close park makes it a great spot for families. The fire pit was led to an unexpected great night. We will be back!!

Thank you so much Dave. We love that you enjoyed your time on Fripp and at our house. And we super love that you had an unexpected great night around the fire pit! Seems like a night around the fire pit will bring out the laughter or the tears. And if you’re lucky, maybe both! We’d love to have you back. Thank you again, Kathy
Our family had an amazing experience staying here for Christmas! The property is beautiful, spacious, clean, and offers many amenities. The host is very communicative and instructions were clear. The island speaks for itself with endless nature and wildlife. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are beyond happy that you had a good Christmas at our house. And so happy that you enjoyed the island too. We’d love to have you come back and stay with us again, Kathy
We enjoyed the home overall, especially the very comfortable beds and great A/C. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. When we had an issue with the golf cart, it was taken care of immediately.Our main concern was the roach problem we encountered. Despite documentation of pest-control treatment and an exterior spray being arranged after we reported the issue, we continued to encounter multiple types of roaches, including German and American roaches, and killed several every day. We took reasonable precautions, including keeping food sealed and doors closed, so the number of roaches was far beyond what we feel is acceptable for a vacation rental.Unfortunately, the issue followed us home. After our four-hour drive, a German roach emerged from our car while unloading, and we spent several hours inspecting and disinfecting our belongings because we were concerned we had brought roaches home.We truly appreciated the host’s responsiveness and efforts to address the issue, but the pest-control treatment did not appear to be effective. We hope the infestation can be thoroughly addressed with a more effective solution for future guests.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the home, found the beds comfortable, appreciated the A/C, and felt that we were responsive and helpful when you needed us. We were also happy to take care of the golf cart issue immediately.
We are, however, very sorry that you encountered bugs during your stay. We take pest control very seriously and do have a professional pest-control company regularly servicing the property, including exterior treatments. As soon as you brought the issue to our attention, we arranged for an additional exterior treatment.
Fripp Island is a coastal, heavily wooded environment, and unfortunately, occasional insects can make their way inside even in homes that are professionally treated and carefully maintained. That said, we understand that encountering multiple roaches is upsetting, and we are following up with our pest-control company to determine what additional measures may be appropriate.
We appreciate that you recognized our efforts to respond quickly and address the issue while you were here. Guest comfort is extremely important to us, and we will continue working with our professional pest-control provider to keep the home as comfortable and well-maintained as possible for future guests.
Location on the island was perfect. We stay every year but have never stayed near the front and it was super convenient. For the price the house was great. The property manager provided excellent communication.
This was the best beach experience we have ever had! The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything you could need for a family trip! We will definitely be coming back to stay here.

Thank you so so much! What a nice review and we appreciate it. We do try very hard to have everything one might need and if you do need something just let us know as we live right around the corner and love a quick golf cart ride. Thanks for staying with us. Hurry back when you can, Kathy
The mattresses and pillows were unexpectedly comfortable.
We appreciated the golf cart, bikes and fire pit.

I love to hear this!! We were very careful in picking the mattresses and pillows. And we are happy that you enjoyed the golf cart. Come back when you can, Kathy.
Great accommodations, centrally located loaded with extra comforts away from home and super clean! Fripp island for the win with a wonderful place to stay! We really loved our visit to the island and it was made better by the lovely rental. Also really good communications. Fire pit was a win too. Thank you!

Loved our stay at Fiddlers Cove! We were two families wiht teenagers spending Spring Break together. The house was fantastic. It was clean and had everything we needed.

We are so happy to hear about the fun that you had. We forget about how unique it is that the deer are so friendly. We are just so used to it. It is very special. Thank you for staying with us, Kathy.
This was our 10th year coming to Fripp. We try to stay at a different property each year so that we can experience each unique area of the island. This home was exactly as described and perfect for our stay! Kathy was quick to respond to any question I had and made check in/out as smooth as possible. We’re looking forward to staying here again!
