Casa Del Mar on Fripp Island

Gorgeous oceanfront home on Fripp Island with direct beach access

Casa Del Mar is an elegant oceanfront five-bedroom, five full-and-two half-bath home that offers sweeping views of the ocean. The home provides an ideal layout for families to enjoy spending time together, while also offering private space.

The first floor includes three bedrooms; two of which are oceanfront suites with king-sized beds and spacious walk-in private baths which feature European glass, custom tiled showers which offer a spa-like experience of rain heads and sprays, as well as jetted tubs for your relaxation. Both suites have their own flat-screen 32-inch flat screen TVs, with direct access to a covered porch, situated just steps from the beach. The third bedroom is perfect for children/teens, as two sets of twin/full bunk beds offer their own sanctuary. This room has its own full bathroom with combination tub/shower and half-bath just outside in the hallway.

Down the hall is the laundry room with washer & dryer, utility sink, drying racks and a second full-sized refrigerator and ice maker.

Also located on this level is a large living area with kitchenette with mini-refrigerator, microwave, sink, coffee pot, blender and toaster oven for your convenience. The 50-inch flat-screen HDTV in this area offers a gathering place replete with a queen-sized sofa bed. This space opens to an expansive sundeck and covered patio that overlooks the ocean. There is a large poly wood dining table and chairs which match the slate gray Trex composite decking and railings.

The second floor can be accessed via elevator or stairway. It features a large kitchen with granite counter-tops, stainless-steel Viking appliances, microwave, Keurig and Cuisinart coffee makers, as well as an abundance of cherry wood cabinets. There is also a wet bar with a 28-bottle wine cooler, formal dining area, as well as a large family room with a 65-inch HDTV over the gas fireplace.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor. The primary, oceanfront suite has a very large bathroom with a walk-in shower which features a spa-like experience, with a shower rain head, sprays and a jetted tub. The primary suite also has a 65-inch flat-screen TV. All bathrooms in this home have granite counter-tops to add to the elegant feel. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed with private bath, a 26-inch flat -screen TV and two nightstands; each with its own USB ports.

Enjoy the lower level with room for 3 cars along with an under-air ping pong room; ideal for avid players. There are two tank-less water heaters located here so everyone is able to take a hot shower at any time. Walk outside and relax on the 1220 sq feet of porches and decks. Take advantage of amazing sunrise views while watching the dolphins play ocean-side or enjoy sunset views off the dining area balcony overlooking the marsh.

The property was very nice and welcoming. We really enjoyed ourselves. The only thing I would say is the format in which sundries are given are wasteful. It was difficult to open the boxes and then having to dispose them? Not very eco-friendly.

Loved walking in to a clean, well appointed house. Early check-in was a huge bonus for us and easy "close and lock the door" checkout was the best. Windows clean for a clear ocean view just put the icing on the perfect cake. Lovely, clean home.

The house is so nice and the view magnificent. We have been going to Fripp Island for 46 years and this house is our favorite. Just wish there were twin beds in upstairs bedroom where there is a queen bed.

Casa Del Mar is the perfect home away from home. The kitchen is a dream, well equipped wt top of the line appliances. Showers and bath tubs amazing! Each bedroom has private bathrooms. Best of all the home is spotlessly clean and directly on the beach! Thank you for this gem Natural Retreats! A piece of heaven on earth!

Our weekend at Fripp was absolutely terrific. The house was so clean when we arrived, and had all the pertinent information we needed to experience all Fripp has to offer. The 5 bedrooms made everyone feel like they had their own space, and the kitchen was easy to work in, and had any kitchen item we could ever need. The beach is literally at your back door. Thanks for the great experience. We will return.

Best Thanksgiving Ever!!!!

We treated my mother, our children and grandchildren to a week at Casa Del Mar for Thanksgiving! The floor plan was perfect, grandparents and great grandparent were on the top level. The middle level was great with a master suite for each of our 2 children and the bunk room for the 5 grandchildren. The kitchen had everything and the most amazing view. The pool table in the basement provided great fun for the older children and granddad. Watching the sunrise from our bed was something special!!

Ideal

This past August was our fifth year to spend a week on Fripp with family and each year we have tried a different house. We finally found our place in Casa del Mar and booked it again for next year. The layout met all our needs and the location and views met all our desires.

Awesome

We just returned home from our vacation on Fripp and while there’s no place like home, the Casa Del Mar was sure hard to leave. Great accommodations for our large family. The lay out was perfect & it was CLEAN.(very important to us) We are planning to book for next year ASAP! Thanks for such a great home away from home !

Great house for a family of all ages

This was our 2nd stay at Casa Del Mar. We came with 4 families ages 3-63. The house is perfect for everyone to have their own space. Each bedroom has its own full size bathroom, the kitchen is large and fully stocked to make any meal, and the kids have their own lounge area on the second floor to set up video games away from the main living area. The views of the ocean from just about every room can’t be beat and the location near the end of Tarpon Blvd, make it feel like we have more than enough beach to ourselves. We look forward to renting this perfect house again.

Great location on a beautiful island near Beaufort

This is a beautifully appointed home on the beach. There are windows and newly refurbished decks with amazing views of the ocean and surrounding area. Views of sunrises and sunsets. There's a gourmet kitchen fully equipped with granite countertops, and stainless steel Viking appliances. 2 beautiful fireplaces for the cooler weather. The house has 3 master suites and additional bedrooms with baths. Sleeps maybe 17? It's beautifully furnished and is as comfortable for 2 (my husband and I with an occasional guest) as it would be for multiple families. Close to Beaufort, Port Royal, Hilton Head.

We come to casa Del Mar every year. This house is equipped with everything you need for the best vacation ever! The kitchen is a dream. The bathrooms are like your personal spa. The decks are perfect to relax and enjoy the view. The highlight...the beach just steps from your door. All around best house on fripp island!!

Great home!

The home is fantastic! This was our second year in this home and next year will be our third! The home is well maintained and comfortably held 6 adults and 6 kids. There are many features, but we especially loved the extra refrigerator on the main level! The ice machine was a nice touch as well. The kids had a blast in the basement playing ping pong. The outside has a very nice sitting area near the house and also a nice area closer to the beach. I would for sure recommend this home!

Our favorite vacation spot

We stayed at Casa Del Mar in May this year. Fripp Island is beautiful in the Spring. The weather is cool and comfortable - no crowds. The home is magical - designed with spectacular views from every window and quality furnishings that blend with the environment. The home is well maintained and equipped with the finest appliances. It is comfortable. It has an elevator. The owners just added a lovely fireplace to the upstairs master suite. It was perfect for the cool May nights. Decks everywhere. Right on the beach.

AMAZING OCEANFRONT HOME

We stayed in May, and had a WONDERFUL, RELAXING TIME!! The home had a fully stocked kitchen! We cooked almost every night and had every item we could possibly need for a perfect dining experience! The views from this home is so perfect! I would just sit on the comfortable love seat and just stare at the beauty! Our group agreed that we stayed in the BEST home on the Island! We hated to leave paradise! Our plans are to return and bring more family and friends to experience this beautiful place!

Outstanding House

We stayed at this house for a week in late March with 3 other couples. Had a great time on the Island and local area. The house was a great place to enjoy our mornings watching the sun rise and listening to the waves day and night. Hope to use it again in the future.

Great beach view

We visited in August. We had a marvelous time. The house has everything you want or need. The view of the ocean was simply gorgeous. The elevator and large open rooms are perfect for anyone handicapped.
