About this house rental

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!
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. Guests consistently rate Footprints with 5-stars and most 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.

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 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!

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.

What a wonderful time we (six sisters with 3 brother-in-laws) had staying at Footprints! The house is immaculate and the hosts have thought of everything. Loved having access to the golf carts and bicycles. Seeing deer in the backyard every morning was such a treat. Even though the weather wasn't what we had hoped for, we enjoyed our time together. Pat was joy to work with and checked in regularly to make sure we didn't have any questions or need anything. Would absolutely love to stay here again.

The house was beautiful. Quick walk to the beach. Communication with the owner was easy with quick responses. Our first time on the island and it was so fun. We had the beach all to ourselves. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. We loved reading out on the front porch it is nice and shady with a lovely breeze and you can see the ocean. Would fully recommend.

The home is beautiful, well equipped, and very close to beach access. My family enjoyed time at the beach every day and the house was spacious and so comfortable. The house provides a golf cart, beach towels, bikes and a wagon to transport items to the beach. The property manager, Nancy is excellent and a pleasure to work with. The owner also called us to see if we needed anything. This is our 2nd time in the house and we look forward to many more! Thank you Pat and Nancy!
