Very responsive owner \*This property fills up quickly with several repeat renters, especially during peak season. Book immediately to secure your preferred week for 2021\* New Tommy Bahama bedding to elevate your stay. The bedrooms are large and allow for privacy, while the huge kitchen/island and back deck provide the gathering space for your entire crew. If you've never been to Fripp, it's hard to explain how special the island and beaches are until you see it for yourself; and this house is perfectly situated to make the most of it. It is very different than your typical, crowded Myrtle Beach type of trip. I will provide you with lots of information so you know what to expect and can plan the best trip possible. This beautiful and generously appointed home has been updated throughout. It is perfectly situated near the club house and swimming pools but is only steps from the beach. Many locations on the island lose their beach during high tide, but the public access at the end of the driveway takes you to a permanent beach. Enjoy the salt-water breezes from 2 screened-in porches, a large deck, and large front porch. Bedroom setup: Bedroom 1: King bed, twin daybed with twin trundle (sleeps 4), flat screen TV, private bathroom (main level) Bedroom 2: 2 Queen beds, twin daybed with twin trundle (sleeps 6), flat screen TV, private bathroom (main level) Bedroom 3: 2 Twin beds (sleeps 2), flat screen TV, shared bathroom with bunk room (second floor) Bedroom 4: Bunk bed, full plus twin (sleeps 3), shared bathroom with bedroom 3\. Shared closet in the hall with bedroom #3 (second floor) Included In Rental: beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, and bicycles (do not ride bikes on the beach, please). \*Golf carts are available for rent on the island. (We highly recommend this. Trust us, you'll enjoy it immensely). \*Amenity cards are available for purchase. These must be used to access restaurants, pools, tennis courts, and the 2 championship golf courses. One must be purchased for each person. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Table tennis - Tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 2,430 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99970000/99964500/99964452/2854d5e4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 214 Tennis Villa - New to VRBO!

It worked out perfectly amid all the COVID precautions to get away to a private and more secluded atmosphere. The beach was a quick walk from the house and the pool was a short distance by golf cart down the street. We loved seeing all the wildlife and walking trails. The house had a large kitchen that was well-stocked and a large dining table to accommodate a group of people. House was comfortable and clean and Amy was a great hostess. ##### Becca C.

This was our second time staying here and it was another great stay. The house has everything we needed in space and amenities. The proximity to the beach is such a great amenity. It’s not ocean front but it’s as close to ocean front as you can get without paying the ocean front price. Just a short walk to the beach access. Management is great to work with and keeps in contact if needed. We look forward to making this our annual vacation spot. ##### Brook R.

We only had two burners. I know it hard to maintain but the beach chairs are bad and no umbrella. Our visit was great and we had a good time. ##### Loretta A.

Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob D. 30 Sept 2018 #### Great place close to the beach! Family trip to the place we got married. House is very close to the beach, with the access walkway next to the house. House was very spacious for all of us. Couple things could be updated but for the most part, awesome place! Hurricane Florence cut our stay short and Amy was kind of enough to refund part of the stay, as well as getting refunds for the amenity cards. Would def recommend staying here! ##### Jacob D. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kristen Z. 14 Aug 2018 #### Comfortable stay! We really enjoyed our stay at Watsontonia. The proximity to the beach was perfect! It was just a short walk from the house out to the beach. A view of the beach from the house would have been nice, but you can't have everything. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off sand upon our return to the house. The family room and kitchen were nice and roomy. The dining room table seated 8 people comfortably. There were plenty of bathrooms and beds. Even though the house faces a busy street things were always quiet at night. One evening the air conditioning was not working, but the owners responded quickly and made sure the issue was resolved promptly. ##### Kristen Z.

The house isn't bad either. Plenty of room and beds for my family of 10\. We walked down the new boardwalk to the beach and stayed all day. The house is nicely furnished with everything you will need. Enjoy! ##### Phillip G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### H L. 6 Jun 2018 #### Loved it!
