Our Tennis Villa, "Surf Shack III" is located in the heart of Fripp Island, right off of Tarpon Boulevard, behind the Tennis & Pickle ball courts.
Our 2 story villa, with spiral staircase, has been upgraded (2023) with all new furniture, rugs, coastal decor, lamps, chandeliers and ceiling fans. The King bed has a new mattress, new linens and the most comfortable "Casper" pillows.
Be mesmerized by the incredible Salt Marsh that we are proud to call our back yard. Enjoy the expansive views of the beautiful spartina grasses and the ever changing tide waters that fill and empty out, twice a day.
Watch the Osprey, Red tailed Hawk, Kingfisher, and the Great blue heron (just to name a few) searching for their next tasty treat.
Don't be startled when you see antlers pass by the porch. It's just the Deer wandering by looking for a nice spot to take a nap.
We include our newer electric golf cart, that is a little lifted with bigger tires named "Big Red", for you to enjoy with your rental.
The Beach Club Complex is across the street along with the open air "Sandbar", Adult swimming pool, Olympic swimming pool, newly remodeled Fitness Center, food court, Beach Club restaurant, and Ocean View Lounge, not to mention the Majestic Atlantic Ocean and our beautiful white sandy beaches.
We hope you choose to stay with us and enjoy the wonders of vacationing with the Marsh as your backdrop. Our Fripp Island friend and Lowcountry book author, the late Pat Conroy, best describes the salt marsh like this, "At sunset we watch the saltwater tides rising with perfect congruence to the rising moon. No matter the time of day, the creek spreads out in the thrown coinage of sunset, bright as a centerpiece in the transcendental green of the great salt marsh".
