The basics: 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, sleeps 10. Rental rate includes the use of one golf cart. Taxes, island fee, cleaning and refundable security deposit are extra. Fripp Island Club Guest Cards are available for purchase.
Sea La Vie is a four bedroom 4.5 bath home of about 3,500 sq.ft. located on Fripp Island in the Low Country of South Carolina.
The gated community of Fripp Island represents the best of what the Low Country offers: Pristine beaches, an abundance of wildlife and a secure place for you and your family to relax and enjoy your time away from the rest of your life.
Sea La Vie, our home, represents an amazing opportunity to experience all of this. "C'est la vie" roughly translates as "oh, well". And that's what you will say to yourself as you look around, smile, and settle into your vacation.
Spyglass, where our home is located, is a peninsula on the southern end of the island near Wardle's Landing. Sea La Vie presents ocean views from the front and a panorama of extensive marsh and estuary views from the back. The sunsets are stunning. Wildlife is seen in abundance everywhere.
Whether you are looking for a quiet place to read and refresh your spirit or a life style that is set up for family togetherness, Fripp Island offers a respite from the everyday routines of life. And Sea La Vie is the place to stay.
The house, a sprawling Cape Cod, has a large wall of windows at the rear of the house with multiple screened sunrooms each side of a large great room. Everywhere gives you unbroken panoramas over the pristine unspoiled marsh around Skull Inlet.
Whether you choose to sit with your coffee on the front porch early in the morning as the sun comes up, watching the waves in Skull Inlet and across to Pritchard's Island or... you choose the rear deck or one of the screened sunrooms, you will find yourself surrounded by nature, an ideal environment to relax and leave the worries of the world behind.
Enjoy breakfast while counting the wildlife that flies by. How many eagles and ospreys will you see this morning? After that, there's the golf courses, the tennis courts and, of course, the beaches. Nothing beats the beaches of Fripp Island.
Sea La Vie is about a ten minute walk or a five minute golf cart ride to the beach.
Beach access is assured as there are over 30 accesses to the beach. To help you enjoy your stay, we provide beach towels, beach umbrellas, surf floats, sand chairs, and a few sand toys so that you don't have to pack them.
What else? It's a 5 minute walk to the Nature Center where the naturalists will give you a tour of the wealth of island wildlife that they have at the center. The island's Activity Center is right there too. Great for the kids.
The Cabana Club & its pools, where you can enjoy the spectacular views across to Pritchard's Island and the ocean, take in a cocktail, or enjoy food from the restaurant, are located 100 yards further. There are nine pools scattered around the island that you have access to.
Spyglass is adjacent to Wardle's Landing which is a fishing and crabbing pier that juts out into Skull Inlet. Whether you are fishing, crabbing, watching the dolphins go by, or taking in the beautiful sunsets, you'll enjoy the wonders of the South Carolina Low Country from this incredible location.
Once you've done with the day's activities and fun, you relax on the porches, decks, or in the sunrooms.
You will find our kitchen well supplied with appliances and all of the necessary items to enable your full dining and cooking pleasures. There's a Weber gas grill on the deck for grilling your catch or your favorite steaks, burgers or sausages.
The house has high speed wireless internet (Hargray 200mbps) throughout. All TVs are Smart HDTVs with wireless access to the internet and free Netflix.
TV Locations...Great Room, screened sunroom, upstairs lounge area, master bedroom, number 2 and number 3 bedrooms.
The four and a half bathrooms are stocked with an abundance of bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths. We also provide a dozen beach towels.
The home has ample parking, both under the home and around it. Two cars under and four in the driveways.
Our island is near historic Beaufort South Carolina with its historical tours and many fine eating establishments.
Once you have enjoyed the unspoiled life style of Fripp Island, walking the uncrowded beach where loggerhead turtles come to nest, you will wonder why you ever went anywhere else to get away from it all. Remember, vacations at the beach form memories that last forever.
One more thing: No Smoking and No pets allowed.
Rental note: The guest who books the reservation must be 25 years or older and must be present for the length of the stay in the property.

Wonderful stay at 6 Spyglass Lane. Probably my favorite house out of all the houses we have stayed in. Only thing missing was a second refrigerator in the garage.
I can’t say enough of how great this home is. Very very comfortable, great view of the marsh, A/C worked perfect, it had a perfect golf cart with the home, beach chairs and 5 bikes that looked brand new. If in doubt of being to far from the beach just rent an extra golf cart or 2. Thanks to the owners and management for the best rental home that we have stayed at in the 10 years of coming to Fripp

David, thanks for the great review.
We were fortunate enough to stay an extended time in May & June. This home not only has the obvious WOW factors: Spectacular deck and screened porches, quiet cul de sac, nice beach towels, 4.5 bathrooms, but also the not so obvious: quality dishware & storage containers, LOTS of glassware, plenty of countertop space, Smart TV's in every space, comfy porch furniture, USB wall outlets. Very responsive owners and management company. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You'll never have to fight the crowds at Tarpon Point again - you have your own private viewing of Fripp's spectacular sunsets from your own deck.

Michael, we've had the home for nearly 4 years now and those sunsets and views never get old. Thanks for the review and hope to see you back in the future.
10th year at Fripp, 2nd time at this home and it still exceeds all others. House still looks brand new and the AC works perfectly. Well stocked with everything from utensils to bikes, that still look brand new. You can’t go wrong staying in this home when you bring your family here on vacation. And the owners and management is just a text away even if you just need a word of advice. Looking forward to next year at Fripp and hope to stay at this home again.

Terrific house! Fantastic marsh view. Well stocked. It was our 3rd stay and we will be back.
We absolutely loved our stay at 6 Spyglass Lane. My husband and myself hosted our two daughters, their husbands and two grand daughters There was plenty of space for everyone. Even with two little ones running around! We truly enjoyed all the porches. Sunsets are amazing from the top porch off of the bedroom. The screened in porch was great when the mosquitos were out. Kay was a wonderful manager. We had a few issues and she was very prompt and helpful in making our vacation so enjoyable. She went over the top to make our vacation enjoyable. Our only suggestion would be to put in a second fridge downstairs. With that many people in a house the one kitchen fridge fills up quickly. We don’t eat out with the babies so we bring a lot of food and drinks. We hope to be back in the future! Thank you. Sally and Pat Stout
