Overview
Set your alarm for a rendezvous with nature's breathtaking spectacle and get ready for one of the best sunrise experiences on the island! Watch the show cocooned in the opulent embrace of the king-sized bed, adorned in your coziest PJs, or from the covered balcony that overlooks the waterway. Grab a single serving of Joe from the Keurig or indulge in the rich aroma of an entire pot from the classic drip maker. As the sun begins its ascent, the skyline transitions from hues of blue and purple to a vibrant canvas of pink and orange, marking the official commencement of the day's adventures.
With sunrise in the books, it's time to kick off the day's adventures! Load up the cooler, your favorite beverages, grab the complimentary beach chairs and boogie boards and hop aboard the 4-person golf cart. The first beach access is less than 5 minutes from your doorstep. For younger guests seeking a break from salt and sand, Davis Love Park offers the perfect playground oasis. Basketball and volleyball courts, playground equipment, and even a pirate ship, there's no shortage of fun to be had.
After a sun-kissed day of beachside fun, pull around to the back of the house to unload the beach chairs, seashell souvenirs, and take care of those sandy feet at the outdoor shower before heading upstairs for dinner. At the Marsh Mellow, your every culinary whim is catered to with a well-equipped kitchen. Prefer a backyard culinary experience? Grab some burgers or steaks and toss them on the propane grill or go low and slow on the classic charcoal grill. Dinner's ready! Grab family/friends and meet in the dining room where there's room for 4 at the round table and 2 more can belly up to the bar. If you prefer to enjoy the evening breeze, move dinner outside to the rear balcony where there's seating for 4 at the outdoor dining table.
After dinner, unwind with a Netflix movie on the 65" flat screen, surf the web via the high-speed internet, or opt for a more scenic view by grabbing your favorite beverage and heading out to the front-side balcony, where you can marvel at the sunset just behind the Marina Store and Deli. With seating for 2, and an invigorating breeze, it's the perfect spot to savor the moment. Sunset also marks the ideal time to embark on an island adventure on the golf cart. Cruising Fripp is a must! As night settles in and the days adventures fade into memories, you have the luxury of choosing between 2 master suites, each promising unparalleled comfort. The king beds beckon, promising a night of restorative sleep while the en-suite bathrooms offer convenience and privacy.
Fripp's not just a vacation spot, it's an experience. Come see for yourself. We would love to host you at the Marsh Mellow!
Amenities
LOCATION
The Marsh Mellow enjoys a prime, centrally located spot mid-island, situated at the end of Bonito Rd in the Marina. Its strategic position places it in close proximity to all the fun! Just a quick 5-minute golf cart ride from the beach and equally close to Davis Love Park. Nestled between the marsh and Fripp Inlet to the east, it boasts unparalleled sunrise vistas, while to the west, the Marina provides a delightful partial sunset view.
LAYOUT
At the front of the house, a gated entrance ensures privacy for a secluded courtyard. Ascending the stairs, the front door opens to a convenient drop zone, perfect for shedding your shoes before entering the main living area. To the left, you'll find the kitchen, dining room, and a balcony offering picturesque views of the Marina. On the right, the family room and the rear balcony. Nestled between the kitchen and family room is a convenient half-bath. Upstairs, both bedrooms await. A small landing separates two nearly identical master suites, each boasting a king-size bed and private en-suites. Below the main living space, the garage houses bicycles, boogie boards, beach chairs, and the golf cart. Just outside the garage and to the left, is the outdoor shower.

Reviews
861 Bonito was fantastic for our long weekend! We had all the kitchen supplies for hosting a meal with friends. Grill was amazing and the golf cart was premium! It is next door to the cart rental office, so it can be busy but it wasn’t a negative for us. Very clean and well equipped unit!
We've visited Fripp at least once a year since 2015, always renting through the resort. This was the first time renting from an outside party and it our experience was top notch. The property itself was extremely clean, decorated for the season (which my kids enjoyed), and the golf cart that came with the property was very nice. We did have an issue with the hot water, but it was repaired in under 2 hours which was a pleasant suprise considering it was a New Years Eve. We will definitely return to that property and use FrippIslandStay for future trips to the Island.
Wonderful property! Very clean and well organized. Loved the location and the marsh views. Hope to visit again!
Great stay. Thanks for being helpful with all our early questions.
