About this house rental

Welcome to Steel Magnolia (f/k/a The Southern Belle II), a premier elegant vacation beach rental home at Fripp Island. I purchased the home in September of 2018 and spent the first few months of ownership making upgrades and personal touches.

We look forward to creating countless memories here for generations to come. Therefore, we take great pride in our home and are so excited to share it with your family. Our cozy home will be perfect for your families’ Fripp vacation. We are confident that you will make memories that last a lifetime.
The home was designed and furnished by the leading home designers in Beaufort.

For continuous relaxation, the screened porch may be the best room in the house. Comfy seating, ceiling fan, patio curtains, hanging edison lights, built-in Bose speakers, and the breathtaking scenery...heavenly! As if that weren’t enough, there’s a large outside deck overlooking the golf course with the ocean views in the background to sit and enjoy or do some great grilling on the propane gas Weber grill. The extra long teak outdoor dining set will be the preferred spot to enjoy a family meal.
All bedding, pillows, linens, and towels will be provided for your stay.

We enjoyed our stay as the island never disappoints and this home was just perfect for our group. Having the two golf carts was a definite plus for the experience.

The a/c could not keep up! Two units could not keep the upstairs below 84 degrees at night. Lower level was 74 to 78 degrees. Yes it was 95 degrees some days. Our house in Ohio on 95 degree days can be brought down to 70 degrees. I was very uncomfortable. The talk of 2 golf carts did not happen, a second (and third) showed up the day we were leaving. This was a huge disappointment causing issues with getting the family to the beach accesses. The furniture in the great room was shot. Worn out, uncomfortable.

This was a great house and the only reason I marked it as 4 stars is due to the air conditioning which was chugging along but struggled with the temperatures outside. But the property manager was taking action on this for future clients. The house was clean, the beds were great (best I've had on vacation yet!), and had not only 1 but 2 golf carts. We rented a 3rd thinking there was only 1 but honestly this worked out perfectly with 3 couples and some grandkids! I would definetly rent this home again for future family vacations!

We had such a lovely stay— great layout of the home, bathrooms off of every room & with a fully stocked kitchen. It was so easy to do meals in! We had amazing weather so we didn’t spend much time in, however, the golf carts included made our stay so fun and easy to explore! Loved that bonus! Kim was super responsive & a great communicator. There is a big osprey nest off the back porch which we loved to watch while we ate and chatted in the evenings! Great family time! Definitely hope to return!

Such a great time with the family here at Fripp. We loved all the amenities and the gorgeous scenery. The deer were just adorable. What a lovely time. Also, an Osprey nest right out our back porch. Loved watching the Osprey parents feed the babies fish. Loved this place so much! Will definitely be back.

Great location for a day trip to Savannah and another to Beaufort. Fun having golf carts to explore the island. Each couple enjoyed having their own bathroom off their bedroom. Kitchen was very well stocked and we made several meals. Good dinner at Sea Side Bar & Grill. Great day at the beach, beautiful sunsets. Had fun checking out Bubbas for ice cream! Couch isn’t so comfortable and house needs some maintenance.

We loved returning to Fripp once again! The house was perfect for all of our family….golf cart too! We loved the location and house layout. Only thing that could use improvement would be the couch in the living room. Appeared very dirty and worn out. Other than that we had a great time, can’t wait to go back!
