Location

Description

Privately located on the serene Marshland in the heart of Fripp Island, Live Oak Cottage, a beautifully appointed southern home, is just a heartbeat away from all that Fripp has to offer.

The serene and expansive marsh vistas, enjoyed in all directions from the porches of this low country cottage, are punctuated by a grand 100-year-old Live Oak tree situated prominently in the front yard.

Situated just off Bonita Drive, it offers easy and quick access to the beach, the Marina, Ocean Creek Golf Course, the Beach Club, the Cabana Club, the Racquet Club and so much more.

After a full day of adventure and activities, return home to rest and relax in the peace and quiet of this secluded hideaway. The home features a large screened-in porch that spans the entire back side of the home overlooking the marshland, a master suite on the main floor, a spacious and comfortable living room with a fireplace, and an eat-in kitchen. Upstairs brings wonderful vistas of the marshland and 2 more spacious bedrooms plus a bonus room. Each bedroom has a flat-screen TV, a queen-sized bed plus a single bed. The bonus room has a large flat-screen TV and a comfortable daybed that quickly turns into a full-sized double bed.

No need to look any further, Live Oak Cottage is the best hideaway on Fripp Island and the owners hope that you will find it to be the perfect place for your family to relax and enjoy all that Fripp Island has to offer. Take time to enjoy the panoramic views of the marsh, the stunning sunsets, and southern hospitality while you use the magnificent Live Oak as your backdrop for making memories of a lifetime.

A 4-seat golf cart is included with your rental (excluding monthly rentals). Many guests park their cars upon arrival and use the golf cart as their primary form of transportation. It is a great way to leisurely take in the natural scenic beauty of the island and an excellent way to visit our unique amenities.

Guest Cards Included:

Also included in your rental are up to 10 guest cards, a value of up to $500 These cards are required for access to all resort amenities including restaurants and bars, pools (opened year-round), golf, pickleball, tennis, fitness center, and more. For current hours of operation please visit our Hours of Operation page on the Resort site as some hours adjust seasonally. Guest cards offer exclusive access to discounted rates on golf and tennis.

Your unit is stocked with a starter set of essentials like toilet paper and paper towels. Springtide Market & Deli (located at the front of the island near the guard gate) stocks all essentials needed for a longer stay as well as groceries, grab-and-go, liquor, beach accessories, and much more!

Getting to know Fripp Island:

Located 20 miles from Beaufort, South Carolina, Fripp Island is a gated, private island, comprised of about six and a half square miles. The views from Fripp Island are unlike others in the Sea Islands, as Fripp is the most seaward of them all.

Take advantage of the many amenities that Fripp Island has to offer. Fripp Island features a multitude of food and beverage options for your enjoyment. With two championship golf courses, five pool complexes, 6 pickleball courts, 8 tennis courts, and three-and-a-half miles of uninterrupted beach, Fripp Island is an unspoiled treasure. The island also has a full-service deep-water marina, bicycle, paddleboard, kayak, boat, and golf cart rentals available.

Fripp Island is a designated wildlife sanctuary and is also host to many whitetail deer and other amazing wildlife. You will be sure to see them as you enter the island gates.

Reviews

We just completed our third stay at this lovely home. It is beautiful, comfortable, and doesn't feel like a rental property. This is a vacation home. It is tucked back in a quiet area surrounded by marshes, so the views are outstanding. The sunrise on the marsh is hard to beat. Three sides of the house are porches, so outside time is perfect and comfortable . If you are looking for a lovely place to relax and escape, this home is perfect. The location is central to the beaches and the marina. Everything is just a quick golf cart ride away.

What a beautiful home! Our family was very comfortable and had the best time on our vacation during the Christmas holidays at 803 Sea Bass Drive. The house is appointed with very comforable furnishings that made our stay so very relaxing. The kitchen was perfect to cook our holiday meals and celebrate the holidays as a family and the large open family room was fantastic for celebrating as a family. The porches and views of the marsh are breathtaking, but the privacy that the house offers is what really makes it so special, while at the same time it is close to everything on the island and super centrally located to everything we wanted to do. So glad we found this house and our family will be back again! Our family loves Fripp Island and loves this house!

Our family was very excited to rent 803 Sea Bass during the week between Christmas and New Year's. The weather was perfect, but the home was what made our visit so special. The house is very well appointed with nice and comfortable furniture, books, games, and art. But the views from the back deck out onto the marsh are what made it so enjoyable for our family. The house is very private surrounded by marshland and empty lots making our vacation a splendid getaway. We will be back and will rent 803 Sea Bass again this year. Thank you for your wonderful home.

My family had such a great time at Fripp and this house is just perfect for our two families that came on vacation together this year. The house is close to everything but yet it is tucked away on a private road in the middle of beautiful marsh lands. The sunsets are spectacular and there is plenty of room in the house for everyone with the bedrooms being extra large. Can’t say enough good things about Fripp and this house! We already booked this same house for our vacation again here next year! A family tradition now!! Love it!!

My family and I have been coming to Fripp for years and renting the same property because it met our needs. Because of COVID, we had to switch up our routine and try another rental property. We loved our old rental, but 803 Sea Bass is our new favorite spot. It is close enough to the beach to walk, but off of the main road. It is so quiet on the marsh and has amazing views. It is the perfect size for our family even if we have a couple extras join us. The beds are more comfortable than ours at home even. We spent most of our time relaxing on the back porch watching and listening to the wildlife in the marsh. Truly serene.

If I could rate this home more than five stars I absolutely would. The home was incredibly clean and beautifully decorated. You get great views of the marsh from the wraparound porch and large interior windows. I will not be staying anywhere else on future trips to Fripp Island! Thank you to the hosts for facilitating the perfect vacation.

We have spent several vacations on Fripp Island over the years, however this house is the best location and most comfortable home we have stayed in yet. There was plenty of room for our 3 children, the house was private and tucked away in the marsh, but still close to everything to do on the island. The views of the marsh and the wrap around porches are just fantastic to just sit and relax and watch from sunup to sundown. The house was beautifully decorated which made us feel like we were in a home rather than a rental property. Next time we return to Fripp, we will certainly return to this house to rent again. Thank you for a fantastic vacation!

My wife and I stayed here with our two younger children and absolutely loved it. The back porch is amazing and the house feels very much like a home instead of a rental. We will never forget family game nights in the living room with the fire in the fireplace. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely marsh front home. Spent a fantastic Thanksgiving here. Our family will be sure to return. The home is outfitted perfectly and is very comfortable.
