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 especially since a high quality electric golf cart, 4 adult bikes, nice quality beach chairs, beach towels and 2 amenity cards(cards incl in weekly rentals only) are included! That's over a $1,200 in savings!
Footprints in the Sand boasts the best of both, incredible ocean views in the front of the house alongwith 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 also have the option of converting one of the upstairs twin rooms to a comfy King! Just let us know.
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 and a fully-equipped kitchen all come with your rental! Two weekly amenity cards are also provided with a weekly rental. All you need to pack is your toothbrush, bathing suit, t-shirt and shorts.....LOL! My team and I strive to provide hotel-like standards and your best vacation experience at Footprints.

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, large bath, walk-in shower, walk-in closet, high quality sheets and a flat screen t.v.,. The huge ensuite bath is also ADA accessible.

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 owners of Fripp Island Resort 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. The Resort will also be opening their new miniature golf at center island as well!

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 where you can enjoy 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 high standards for cleaning.

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 available to assist in making your vacation special. For your convenience and at no extra charge our property manager even delivers your amenity cards prior to your arrival and is responsive during your stay. Our goal is to ensure you have the best and safest vacation possible!

    This house has a wonderful layout especially the bathrooms for every bedroom. It is well equipped with the beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, bikes, and beach wagons mentioned in the description. The owner and property manager were very responsive although we had no problems. Easy beach access and great part of Fripp’s beach. We highly recommend!

    We had 4 families staying. Loved the way the house was laid out. The bathrooms were genius. The beds were very comfortable. The access to everything was great and convenient. The property manager Annette was very helpful and easy to work with. Pat was very kind to think of us as our father had passed the week before. We will definitely stay again.

    All 14 of us had an excellent week! Close to the beach, with great beach chairs, toys, and towels. Views of sunrises from the upstairs bedrooms and porch. The ice machine spoiled us! We need one at home. The family mentioned the great hairdryers in each bath. We loved the thoughtful layout/design of the house and bedrooms.

    Third year staying at Footprints and it was excellent as always. This year was even better because it was the first time in six years that everyone was able to come. We all love the close access to the beach. Footprints feels like home now. Thank you Pat for opening up your home to us.

    Family of 10. Daughters, son- in-law and grandchildren , with my husband and myself. Pat answered my questions quickly, provided needed information and provided a recliner which assisted me with my painful back/ hip. The house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen. We were disappointed because there was a limited view of the ocean. Everyone loved the beach! was a limited v eqkitchen

    We were lucky to find Footprints available for the week we were planning to host a family vacation on Fripp Island. Our group consisted of six adults and four children aged 12-14 years old. I am happy to report that all enjoyed a magnificent holiday on the island. Footprints is a beautiful, spacious, well equipped home that is perfectly situated to access the beach and other island amenities. The included golf cart was great and allowed us to easily tour the island. Because of the size of our group, we did rent a second six seat golf cart but the favorite was the sporty one provided by the owner. The pre arrival instructions were detailed and ensured that we would be well prepared to enjoy our family holiday. The owner, Pat, was terrific in answering all questions we had prior to and during our stay. Suffice it to say this property is special and we look forward to staying there again.

    Our family had a wonderful time at this quiet home near the beach on Fripp Island. The owner was helpful with booking, prompt in answering questions and provided additional information to help us have a great stay. The house provided everything we needed to have a great week. The property manager was also responsive with questions during our stay. We would definitely go back!

    The house had ample room for the nine of us. Plenty of private space and together space. The ramp was great for our son who is in a wheelchair. Beach access 1B was close and worked well for our son's beach chair and night beach walks.
