Fripp Island's history can be traced back to the 17th Century when the island was deeded to Captain Johannes Fripp, a swashbuckling privateer who, like other letter-of-marquee men and pirates at that time, sailed the Seven Seas in search of gold and treasures. The island became known as Fripp's Island. Captain Fripp settled here, married a lady named Martha Scott and had a family. Now you, yes YOU, can own a piece of this storied island paradise. This home, built in 1977 and still with the original family, is situated on the front row facing the Atlantic Ocean. Featuring dual owner's suites with amazing views to keep an eye on passing pirate ships, plus an additional ground level suite for a total of three bedroom suites. Enjoy sunrises and sunsets from your expansive balcony overlooking the grass covered sand dunes that provide a unique habitat for several species of shore birds. Or take a walk around the island to see the deer feeding at the tree line. The boardwalk is only steps away and takes you to the sandy Atlantic shore so you can spend your mornings hunting for seashells and your afternoons soaking up the sun. You will not find a front-row beach home for a lower price in the Lowcountry. Optional golf and resort memberships are available to further enjoy the island. You'll love this little piece of paradise!
