If you want to stay on the island, we cannot recommend renting a house (or condo) enough! It's the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing beach weekend while still being right in the heart of the celebration. There are several great options for booking - including the Fripp Island website, Airbnb, and VRBO. If you choose to book through Fripp Island directly, be sure to use our discount code McconnellBoyer2026 for savings on your rental!

This hotel is a few minutes from downtown Beaufort and about 45 minutes from Fripp. You are close enough to downtown to explore all of the shops and dining options it has to offer. Please use the discount code above when booking, and let us know if you have any questions!

Stay in the heart of the Beaufort Historic District and explore the antebellum homes, plantations, and secluded islands of South Carolina's Low Country at our charming hotel on the Beaufort River. Walk to quaint shops, art galleries, bookstores, and a variety of cafés, bistros, coffee shops, and eateries. Dine overlooking the water in our Room by the Bay or take your coffee to our patio and watch boats drift along the marina.
Southern hospitality is everywhere, from the fresh flowers in our lobby to our secluded outdoor pool. Wake up to a hot breakfast of biscuits and gravy, banana or pumpkin breads, bagels or scrambled eggs. You'll also enjoy a perfect home base for exploring Hilton Head, Charleston and Savannah, which are less than an hour's drive away.
