Sitting on the canal with the striking views from morning 'till night and the best beach accesses 16 & 17 directly across the street, Drift House will be your dream home away from home! Nestled amongst towering palms and some of the most beautiful live oak trees, this 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home is perfect for you. Recently updated with new interior, double sitting area, kitchen, wet bar and dining area, baths, deck, screen porch, and dock. Cathedral ceilings in this reverse floor plan give an open feel to the common areas. Enjoy the screen porch as you watch the dolphins and birds play in the canal. Crab and fish off your private dock. Enjoy the huge deck with the gas grill in the evenings.

In the best location on the island, Drift House is less than a four minute walk to the Fripp Island Club - its pools, dining facilities, tennis and pickleball courts.

Beautiful nature all around you, mesmerizing canal views, and that easygoing Lowcountry vibe - all just steps from the beach. With the same delightful breeze. You will not want to leave!

We look forward to welcoming you to Drift House.

The Fripp Island Club and its facilities were recently acquired by new ownership, who are making substantial improvements around the island. They have placed a brand new 12.8% tax on all rentals for which amenity cards will be purchased. We have had to adjust our prices upward in order to pay that tax. If you are interested in renting without the purchase of amenity cards, we would be happy to adjust the daily rates accordingly downward.

We include a golf cart with all weekly rentals.

    A fantastic property on Fripp! Well cared for and very family friendly. Close to everything on the island…beach, pools and activities. Our kids loved fishing off the canal dock, caught several fish, as well as a sting ray :0 Peter was great to work with. Highly recommend this property!!

    This home is delightful, all details were exactly as pictured and described. Extremely clean, well appointed and well stocked, and perfect location on the island. Our group of 4 adults and 5 children ages 10-13 had the perfect week. Highly recommend!

    The home is beautiful and well appointed with all the desired kitchen stuff and tons of seating inside and out. The yard and dock off the back was put to great use, fishing and relaxing in the hammock and we spent a LOT of time on the screen porch. Close to amenities yet feels private with beautiful trees and foliage-great bird watching-gorgeous! Beds are all very comfortable! Peter was very responsive and a great host!

    Our family would highly recommend Drift House. It had everything we needed for our family of 6 adults and 4 children under 8 years old. We ate in most meals and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect! It's a short walk to the beach, one of the pools and to get ice cream. :) It's a short walk to the pickleball courts which we also enjoyed using one evening. We also enjoyed the spacious yard and having a canal in our backyard. Our 8 year old grandson lowered a crab trap into the water from the floating dock and checked on it no less than 10 times a day. Every day he caught something and his excitement was priceless. He and his dad spent time fishing off the dock as well. We rented bikes and the trails make it safe for young children so a family bike ride to the playground was a lot of fun. While the one pool is walkable, the other one we took the golf cart while some rode bikes. It's a little too far for young children but an easy ride for adults. Probably the best room in the house, in my opinion, is the large screened in porch. It was fun to sit out there and eat meals...and the table was big enough for all 10 of us to sit around....and watch the deer walk by in the morning and evenings. We hope to return to Fripp Island and Drift House would be our top choice when it comes to accommodations. I must also mention Peter was the best host. I had numerous questions prior and after booking and he graciously replied to each and every email. Thank you once again for letting us use your home, Peter. We made countless memories to look back on for years to come.

    What a great home to spend a week with family in. The home was spacious and very clean. The screened back porch was wonderful. It had a great view and we spent time every day enjoying it. We cooked most nights and the Kitchen was well appointed. And if you want to walk to the beach, the location was perfect. And while we didn’t have any issues during the stay, Peter was still in contact to make sure our week went right. I would highly recommend.

    My family enjoyed our stay at the Drift House. It is located on the best part of the island and is tucked back off the road for privacy. The home is well appointed and Peter was wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend this lovely home!

    You know what I loved about our stay - it was effortless luxury. The screened porch, dock, and backyard was one of the best we’ve ever seen at Fripp. Beautiful decor, plenty of entertaining areas, the beds and linens were top-notch, very clean, and it felt as if we were staying at a five star resort. The house is located on the canal and is a perfect spot for fishing, very quiet area , yet across the street from a beach access, close to the marina, and other amenities. Peter was a wonderful host, he was quick to respond to my questions, made checking in an absolute breeze, and was very thoughtful with welcome gifts.
