About this property

Gorgeous Canal Home - Fantastic Central Location - just steps to the best Beach

Sitting on the canal with the striking views from morning 'till night and the best beach accesses 16 & 17 directly across the street, Drift House will be your dream home away from home! Nestled amongst towering palms and some of the most beautiful live oak trees, this 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home is perfect for you. Recently updated with new interior, double sitting area, kitchen, wet bar and dining area, baths, deck, screen porch, and dock. Cathedral ceilings in this reverse floor plan give an open feel to the common areas. Enjoy the screen porch as you watch the dolphins and birds play in the canal. Crab and fish off your private dock. Enjoy the huge deck with the gas grill in the evenings.

In the best location on the island, Drift House is less than a four minute walk to the Fripp Island Club - its pools, dining facilities, tennis and pickleball courts.

Beautiful nature all around you, mesmerizing canal views, and that easygoing Lowcountry vibe - all just steps from the beach. With the same delightful breeze. You will not want to leave!

We look forward to welcoming you to Drift House.

The Fripp Island Club and its facilities were recently acquired by new ownership, who are making substantial improvements around the island. They have placed a brand new 12.8% tax on all rentals for which amenity cards will be purchased. We have had to adjust our prices upward in order to pay that tax. If you are interested in renting without the purchase of amenity cards, we would be happy to adjust the daily rates accordingly downward.

We include a golf cart with all weekly rentals.
