Ocean Views! Aug specials,5 star reviews, easy beach access. Cards, cart incl!
Our 5-star reviews say it all......Footprints is the perfect oasis and paradise for your vacation! From the moment you arrive, the house is designed for your fun and enjoyment! For the month of August save over $50/night! Footprints in the Sand boasts the best of both, incredible ocean views in the front of the house along with amazing panoramic views of the Ocean Point Golf Course behind the house and easy walking to the best beach access on the island. Access 1B. Guests consistently rate Footprints with 5-stars and say it is the best vacation rental house they've ever experienced and that Footprints "Feels like home". The housekeeping team ensures the house is pristine upon your arrival. A golf cart, bikes for all ages, quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach towels, hotel quality linens/towels/toiletries all come with your rental! Two weekly amenity cards are also provided with a weekly rental.
I designed and built the house to include every feature I felt was missing in a vacation rental. All rooms have views of the ocean and either access to a private balcony or the large Southern porches. The main floor has an exceptional open floor plan with a large family room, half bath off the foyer, open dining area and large master bedroom and ensuite master bath. The spacious and well-equipped kitchen is designed for large family gatherings with lots of counter space for helpers, double stainless steel ovens, dedicated ice machine, French door refrigerator and an extra tall mini fridge for overflow groceries. Chefs love the kitchen and a Weber grill is also available for outdoor cooking! The Master is upgraded with Posturepedic bedding, high quality sheets, hypo-allergenic pillows and flat screen t.v.,. The huge ensuite bath has an ADA seamless tile shower, soaker tub and a nice walk-in closet.
A golf cart along with four high quality adult cruiser bikes (plus bikes for the kiddies), nice quality beach chairs, beach wagon, beach toys and high quality beach towels all come free with your rental. If your stay is seven nights or longer, two weekly amenity cards are included. Additional cards can be purchased through me, unlike other Hosts on the Island. The new owners of Fripp Island have added a mandatory 12.8% fee ( of the base rental rate only) for ALL RENTAL PROPERTIES on the island.
The new fitness center is open and our beach access is less than a 2 minute walk to the best beach access on the island with an easy ramp (not a long boardwalk) for strollers and walkers! Don't be fooled by crowded "center island" or Tarpon locations, with no room to spread out and no beach at high tide. All pools are less than a 5 minute golf cart ride and faster by car.
If you need to work remotely and we hope you don't....but if you do...... there's a dedicated desk in the upstairs loft also with incredible views while you work.
Times are stressful and Footprints in the Sand is the perfect place to get away, relax and detox on this private island we call "Paradise"! We strive to ensure your safety and housekeeping adheres to CDC guidelines for cleaning and all duct work has been cleaned and sanitized for added comfort!
Footprints in the Sand is a professionally designed and decorated 5-star rated home by over 70 guests with fabulous beach and wildlife views! House is designed with hotel quality floors, quartz counter tops/sinks/faucets in kitchen and all baths, new fireplace surround, newly painted etc. Enjoy our close beach access to go back and forth to the house when you're at the beach! I LOVE the beach, but hate packing the "stuff" for a great vacation. No worries, we provide toiletries like a hotel, hair dryer in each bath, all linens, usb ports in all bedrooms, a golf cart, beach chairs, beach towels, beach wagon and bikes for all ages! Exploring the island in the golf cart provided or on the magnificent bike paths with our bikes, makes for the perfect vacation. What better way to get away!
Our Property Manager and Housekeeper are top-notch and use CDC recommended anti-bacteria products to keep Footprints sanitized and clean! To assist in contact free amenity cards, our property manager even delivers your amenity cards prior to your arrival at no extra charge and is available and responsive during your stay. Our goal is to ensure you have the best and safest vacation possible!

Both rooms open to the upper front deck looking onto the Atlantic Ocean where you can also enjoy the sunrise! A twin air mattress and pack n' play are available as well.
- The other two bedrooms view the golf course and have two twins in each room and if you'd prefer you have the option to convert the twins to a King! Each room has their own vanity and toilet, share a Jack and Jill shower and supplied with a high quality hair dryer.
