About this property

Fripp Island, South Carolina - Tree House Getaway

This 3 Br, 3 Bath, 2 Kitchen secluded “tree house” with 2,800 Sq. ft is located on a road that magically rises up out of the marsh and is nestled in a private, beautiful area of palmettos and pines.

Fripp Island is an exceptional place; from the minute you drive across the bridge into this gated community, you will exhale and enjoy the slower pace and nature surrounding you. Pier Fishing, crabbing, bike riding, and walking the beach at sunrise and sunset are just a few of the things you will be able to experience on Fripp Island, SC.

This rental does not include amenity cards or a golf cart. Amenity cards are not available for purchase. Golf carts can be rented from Sutcliff rentals.

The home is delightful with a 150-degree view of the marsh, where egrets nest in the marsh grasses and soars overhead in the blue sky, where deer roam in the yard, and where you will see the most beautiful sunsets from the back deck.

Decorated in a delightful color scheme, it is an extension of nature's beauty and a peaceful setting right outside the door that will take your breath away.

The easy living floor plan of 2 levels adds to the comfort and convenience.
• The first floor has 1 BR, 1 Bath, Family Room, and Kitchen.
• The second floor has 2 BR, 2 Baths, Great Room, Dining, Kitchen, Laundry, and 3 Decks.

The kitchen is fully equipped with an ice maker, coffee maker, utensils for both eating and cooking, plates, pots, and pans.

We supply bed linens, bath towels, and beach towels in addition to kids' games, books for adults, an outdoor grill, Kayaks, bikes, beach toys, beach umbrellas chairs.

Hunting Island State Park is just over the bridge from Fripp and a great place for the kids, both older and younger, to search for sharks' teeth and shells. Don't forget to visit the lighthouse!!

A great solution for couples traveling together or for larger families.

The only thing missing is you!

Long-term Fall and Winter rentals are available.

Fantastic island treehouse!

This was a fantastic house during the 4th of July! You could see the fireworks right from the back porch perfectly. The house was well-appointed and fit our family perfectly - with the extra kitchen and living space downstairs on the first level. Watch out for the raccoons living in the tree holes…they were feisty and come up to visit us on the patio frequently during the morning and while we were packing up to leave!

Marsh stay on Fripp Island

Wonderful view of marsh! Quite area on the island. Plenty of room! Would recommend blinds or shades in upstairs bedroom on the right. Some would like a TV in sitting room upstairs other guest like not having a TV.

Nice house with no TV

The house was nice but NO TV which really disappointed some of the guests. It was not stated in the listing. A lot was required upon arrival and departure-Turning on/off water on the outside of the house, heat/cool regulations, all dishes cleaned and put away, and a few others.

Even the teenagers Loved it.

Fripp island is beautiful. An abundance of wild life including cute little deer roaming the island. We rented a golf cart and the teen girls enjoyed driving us to and from the beach. The sounds of the marsh were right out of a movie. We enjoyed reading books on the deck and listening in the mornings and evenings. The house was well equipped with everything you need to cook or make coffee with. If a teenager tells you it’s one of their favorite vacations they’ve been on thats saying something!

Simply Beautiful

Our stay was wonderful. We spent the majority of the time relaxing on the large porch that overlooks the tidal marsh. The wildlife is up close and personal here. For the adventurous, high tide provides the best opportunity for kayaking. The house was clean and very comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We will love to visit again!

Looks can be deceiving

We had reservations for 6 nights but only stayed 1. The air conditioner/electricity was not working on the first floor so we could not use any of this space . There were no exterior lights working which was a huge safety issue for us to deal with. We also could not charge our electric golf cart due to the electrical problems. The air conditioner vents were leaking so bad in the kitchen and master bedroom (there was a huge piece of plywood covering a hole adjacent to the ac vent and water stains all over the ceiling) that I had to put bowls under them to keep from walking in water. When I took a shower there was 6 inches of water in the tub due to a clogged drain. The dryer was not operating properly and the towels were damp and soured. The deck outside the master bedroom was covered with an inch of pine straw. The furniture upholstery was stained and had holes worn in places. The refrigerator was very dirty. I contacted the property owner and she had a housekeeper come and clean the refrigerator and had an electrician there within 90 minutes, he made several attempts to reset the breakers, he left and said he would return later to install new breakers. I talked to the property owner and told her we just could not deal with the other issues and she said she completely understood and would refund my money. However she did not refund all my money as promised. I am very disappointed, these issues ruined our family vacation.

Relaxing

We had a good time at Fripp. It was very relaxing. Our house did not have amenity cards so we could not use anything which was disappointing. The golf cart that we rented was gas and we did not like that. The home was very accommodating for 2 families, however it needs to be updated. The air conditioner leaked from the roof and leaked on one of the beds. The ceiling was peeling.

Perfect for two families to enjoy together or separately. Great room inside, bedrooms, and upper deck outside had spectacular views of the Marsh! Kitchen was fully equipped too!

Great Escape!

Our family's first time at the Octagonal Tree House. Nancy the owner was prompt in responding, friendly and a gracious host. The house is in a good location, clean, very relaxing. If this house doesn't have the best view over the marsh I would be shocked. My family and I still miss the view a month later. The location of the house is in a great location on a narrow finger peninsula extending into the marsh away from the main thoroughfare of the island so there wasn't a lot of traffic out in front of the house which was awesome, yet still within walking, biking or golf cart distance to everywhere on the island. Very pleased with our stay.

A Home Away From Home

Our family has been visiting Hurley Haven annually since 2005, and we will continue to do so. Tastefully decorated in a relaxing beach theme, the house features all the amenities you will need to settle in and enjoy the benefits of "home away from home" while experiencing the allure of ocean living. The beauty of this house is rivaled only by the setting in which it is located. You will be enthralled by early morning sunrise and late evening sunsets viewed from the comfort of the large, back deck or the window-lined living room overlooking the island marsh. The inclusion of on-site bicycles and kayaks is a wonderful convenience providing hours of enjoyment for young and old alike. Located just a few, short miles from the oceanfront, the seclusion of this property invites you to rest and solitude, while still giving ample opportunity to enjoy the fun of beach life. If you're searching for a place to relax and refresh, look no further. Hurley Haven is perfect in every way!

Wonderful family vacation

My husband and I took our daughter, her husband and three children to Hurley Haven and had a wonderful time. The house is so tastefully decorated and the attention given to the guests needs is exceptional. It feels like you are walking into the home of a relative, so comfortable. Fripp Island is an exceptional place; the minute you drive across the bridge into this gated community you exhale and enjoy the slower pace and the nature that surrounds you. Initially, I was a little anxious about my grandchildren (ages 12, 8 and 6) staying on a nature preserve/bird sanctuary as they are used to Myrtle Beach but from the first day I knew it was a hit. Pier Fishing, crabbing, bike riding, walking the beach at sunrise and sunset, and that is just a few of the things we did. Hunting Island State Park is just over the bridge from Fripp they offer daily activities for children and most are free. If there is a fee, it’s minimal. My daughter asked her children if they wanted to come to Fripp Island again or go to Myrtle Beach and they all said, “Fripp”! We loved it.

A Great Escape to Hurley Haven

We discovered this home three years ago while staying at another vacation house on Fripp Island. This home is truly a gem! It will comfortably accommodate two families. Each having their own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining area and living room with foldout couches for larger families. The home is decorated in a southern sea coast style. Turquois, sea foam green and yellow coloring accent and brighten every room of the home. Bamboo rugs and wallcoverings have been incorporated to add texture. There are no second hand or bargain brand furnishings. The home is exquisitely furnished while having a down home comfort. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you can imagine. From one side of the home, you have a panoramic view of the sky from sunrise to sunset. When you wake up in the morning you’ll view the sun rise while looking out over the marsh and see wild life abound. You’ll listen to the birds calling out as the fiddler crabs click their claws. Deer occasionally pass under the deck area. In the evening, you’ll recline into plush couches and chairs as you watch the brilliant sunset. Paradise! Over the past years, we have been all over the island and you will not find a better view of the sunset. And what additionally makes the stay at this home so enjoyable is the owner herself. Nancy is so understanding. She has been able to flex and meet our needs when we have needed to change our reservation dates. She always checks in with us before, during and after our stay to see if we need anything from her. We have stayed at this house the past three years and already have our reservations in for next year. We plan to continue to return for years to come and hopefully extend our stay to two months. Fripp Island with its beautiful scenery and sandy beaches accompanied by this beautiful home make for a perfect relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable vacation!

Just What Everyone Needs!

We stayed at Hurley Haven last week. It was absolutely wonderful. The whole family loved it and the area. The marsh is alive with many birds & wildlife. The deer are so relaxed and you can get very close to them which excited the little ones! The house is just as relaxing as described with beautiful décor. It was delightful to find the kitchen stocked to meet my expectation and more. The kayaks & bikes were great fun for everyone. It was actually a big delight to be away from everything including TV for a whole week. The house was designed great for our three generation family with a wide variation of ages. It worked wonderful to give everyone "their own space". I so enjoyed working with Nancy. She is very pleasant and very easy to work with. Thanks for your hospitality! We will definitely return again.

Perfect family nature getaway on Fripp Island

We really loved this house! It is a true getaway and a perfect home away from home! It has everything you could ask for (family games, books, cd/dvd player, wireless internet etc.), the house is beautifully decorated, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is very spacious. The marshland views that can be enjoyed from the deck (there is a great seating area and a hammock) and the kitchen/livingroom area through panoramic windows are just amazing! Lots of wildlife, great sunsets and the whole setting is so quiet, peaceful and relaxing that you don't really want to go anywhere else :-) It was also fun to watch the change of the tides. We especially enjoyed going kayaking (kayaks and bikes are provided). The kayaks can be launched from the house 1 hour before high tide and we kayaked almost every day for about 2 hours. 1 kayak can comfortably hold an adult and a smaller child under 10. There is a marina close-by that can also be reached with the kayaks. We explored the island with the bikes several times. The island is a quiet/peaceful island where you can go golfing, hang out at the beach, go kayaking or biking. If you need to go shopping or get groceries for your vacation, Beaufort is a 30 minute drive away. Hunting Island is just around the corner. Nancy is very nice, responsive and easy to work with. I am sure we will be back in the future. We can highly recommend this vacation rental, you won't be disappointed!
