A few notes about the island - We are club members which means that the Club amenity cards are available for purchase.


***The Fripp Island Club requires amenity cards for you to frequent their amenities. These amenities include golfing, playing tennis, going to the restaurants on Fripp, going to the swimming pools and the fitness room.
The amenity card prices for stays that are 1-4 days are $35 during the summer months and $25 during Fall, Winter and Spring.
The amenity card prices for stays that are 5-8 days are $50 during the summer months and $35 during Fall, Winter and Spring.
If you do want to purchase the amenity cards, the resort will add an additional island fee of 13% to your rental to use their amenities. This will be added to your weekly stay at time of amenity card purchase.
Each guest 13 years or older must carry an amenity card to access the Club's facilities.
There are a few places on Fripp Island that you do not need an amenity card. SpringTide Market is at the front of the island that has a large menu at their deli. From breakfast sandwiches to family BBQ meals, there is a lot to choose from. There is also a deli at the Marina that serves sandwiches and salads. The Fripp Ship and Mango stores are fun to go into for your perfect souvenir. You do not need an amenity card for golf cart, kayak, bike, etc. rentals as there are an abundance of companies who offer rental services that will deliver to you.

My family and I enjoyed this great house on beautiful Fripp Island! I highly recommend it for others to stay there. It is very comfortable for 3 couples with or without children. Fourth bedroom is loft with little privacy. The house was well equipped with whatever you may need! Overall, our stay was very enjoyable!

Family vacation
Our second year at the Pink Palace. Couldn't have a better Fripp Island beach location. Coffee on the porch watching the waves and dolphins in the surf is a great way to start the day. Noticed some of the updates from last year including the linens, ceiling fans, and new paint. Kitchen is appropriately equipped. Love the outdoor shower. Already looking forward to next year.

Super easy beach access
Great views, very easy quick beach access. While babies napped inside I was still able to see family on the beach and enjoy views from large deck facing ocean. House was very clean! I gave four stars only because, if the kitchen and furniture were updated this would definitely be a five star stay. Kitchen is well stocked. There is plenty of lounge space for down time for a family of 10. We would stay here again, for sure!!

Kitchen was well stocked with all the supplies needed to cook. You can’t beat the location, right on the beach and quiet! Can’t wait to come back!

The view from the Deck! The BEST!
2nd Time at the Pink House. New paint and carpet upgrades were nice and new! Kathy Folds is a great person to cover our needs. The only concern was a new toaster would be helpful, the one that is available burns on the right side. But the oven broiler works well instead! We hope to come back next year!

Great beachfront location
Really enjoyed our week on the beach. Nice to be able to bring the dogs on the family vacation. House was nice. Could use a little updating but everything worked well (except the vacuum cleaner). Decent beds and linens. Never ran out of hot water, even with multiple showers in sequence. Loved the outdoor enclosed shower. Easy access to the beach. Kitchen was well appropriated.

Beautiful beach
We had a great vacation! The beach was wonderful! The amenity passes are not necessary, unless you want to rent a golf cart. The upstairs bed squeaks with every turn and isn’t very comfortable, but the other beds were fine. This location was not ideal for fishing lovers. The beach is on a sandbar which made for great walks in low tide, but not ideal for fishing. Canal fishing just around the corner, but never caught anything. My teens were disappointed the waves were too small to boogie board on. Plenty of skimboarding though.

Lovely view, but….
The ocean view was spectacular! The house was comfortable and very clean upon arrival, and the major appliances worked (except the ice maker in frig), but the house was in need of much updating. The kitchen was not adequately supplied for making meals, but the host came through with much needed pans, dishes and glasses. There was no notification of service men coming which interrupted our privacy and activities. Renters need to be given notice, especially since one man was spraying for insects (we did not have time to vacate), and the other man from another company was unvaccinated (we did not let him in). Window shades did not work in most rooms and the sliding doors did not lock and one did not open. Loft toilet did not flush well and hall toilet was not attached to the floor. Not good for our disabled relative.. We worked around these issues, and had a sweet time, but we would not rent again due to all the problems that need to be addressed.
