Footprints in the Sand features the best of both, exceptional ocean vistas in the front of the home along with amazing expansive vistas of the Ocean Point Golf Course behind the home and painless walking to the finest beach access on the island. Access 1B.
Guests consistently rate Footprints with 5-stars and say it is the best vacation rental home they've ever experienced and that Footprints "Feels like home". The housekeeping team ensures the home is pristine upon your arrival. A golf cart, bicycles for all ages, quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach towels, hotel quality linens/towels/toiletries all come with your rental! Two weekly luxury cards are also supplied with a weekly rental.
I designed and constructed the home to include every feature I felt was missing in a vacation rental. All rooms have vistas of the ocean and either access to a private balcony or the enormous Southern porches. The main floor has an exceptional open floor plan with a sizable family room, half bath off the entryway, open dining area and sizable master bedroom and ensuite master bath. The cavernous and well-equipped kitchen is designed for huge family gatherings with tons of counter space for helpers, double stainless steel ovens, dedicated ice machine, French door refrigerator and an additional tall mini refrigerator for overflow groceries. Chefs adore the kitchen and a Weber grille is also available for outdoor cooking! The Master is upgraded with Posturepedic linens, high quality sheets, hypo-allergenic pillows and flat screen t.v.,. The humongous ensuite bath has an ADA seamless tile shower, soaker tub and a nice walk-in closet.
A golf cart along with four high quality adult cruiser bicycles (plus bicycles for the kiddies), nice quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach toys and high quality beach towels all come complimentary with your rental. If your stay is seven nights or longer, two weekly luxury cards are included. Additional cards can be purchased through me, unlike other Hosts on the Island. The new owners of Fripp Island have added a mandatory 12.8% fee ( of the base rental rate only) for ALL RENTAL PROPERTIES on the island.
The new exercise center is open and our beach access is less than a 2 min. walk to the best beach access on the island with an simple ramp (not a long boardwalk) for strollers and walkers! Don't be fooled by busy "center island" or Tarpon locations, with no room to spread out and no beach at high tide. All pools are less than a 5 min. golf cart ride and faster by car.
If you need to work remotely and we hope you don't....but if you do...... there's a dedicated desk in the upstairs loft also with fantastic vistas while you work.
Times are stressful and Footprints in the Sand is the ideal place to get away, relax and detox on this private island we call "Heaven"! We strive to ensure your safety and housekeeping adheres to CDC guidelines for cleaning and all duct work has been cleaned and sanitized for added comfort!
Footprints in the Sand is a professionally designed and decorated 5-star rated home by over 70 guests with marvelous beach and wildlife vistas! House is designed with hotel quality floors, quartz counter tops/sinks/faucets in kitchen and all baths, new fireplace surround, newly painted etc. Appreciate our close beach access to go back and forth to the home when you're at the beach! I LOVE the beach, but hate packing the "stuff" for a great vacation. No worries, we provide toiletries like a hotel, hair dryer in each bath, all linens, usb ports in all bedrooms, a golf cart, beach chairs, beach towels, beach wagon and bicycles for all ages! Exploring the island in the golf cart supplied or on the impressive bicycle paths with our bicycles, makes for the ideal vacation. What better way to get away!
Our Property Manager and Housekeeper are top-notch and use CDC recommended anti-bacteria products to keep Footprints sanitized and clean! To assist in contact complimentary amenities cards, our property manager even delivers your conveniences cards prior to your arrival at no additional charge and is available and responsive during your stay. Our goal is to ensure you have the best and safest vacation possible!
