475 Tarpon Blvd - New to Airbnb! Resort Access and Golf Cart Included! Solaia (pronounced so- lī- ya), is of Italian origin and means a place where the energy of the sun radiates. 475 Tarpon Boulevard demonstrates, in real-life, the real estate adage of: location, location, location! Solaia truly provides the best of both worlds: quick and easy access to both the canal and to the beach. Solaia appeals to individuals and families who enjoy the endless possibilities of access to a private pier and a private floating dock at the rear of the house. A recently installed KayaArm on the dock, provides ease and stability for embarking on trips via kayak or paddle board (available for rental drop-off and pick up by various local shops) to explore the canal or Fripp marshes. Guests have reported dolphin sightings and have also enjoyed fishing and crabbing directly from the dock. Fripp Beach Access #29 is just steps away from Solaia's front steps. The proximity of the beach to Solaia means you do not need to use a golf cart to drive to the beach and you also need not lug loads of beach gear to and from the beach (unless, of course, you want to)! If the family gets hungry during their beach adventures, they can just walk back to the house, shower off the sand in Solaia's outdoor shower and prepare lunch in the kitchen. If more beaching is desired, it is just steps away! Fripp beach water is so warm, you could swim and boogie board for hours! Quick and easy access to canal and beach also means you have access to the renowned, spectacular low country sunrises and sunsets! The screened porch at the rear of the house provides a cozy setting for viewing if guests don't want to walk to the dock or have difficulty walking. There is also a front porch with rocking chairs where guests enjoy views of the ocean and gaze at the stars and moon at night. Fripp is an outdoor enthusiast's (including golf and tennis, of course!), beach-lover's, nature-lover's, photographer's and history buff's paradise. There is just so much to do and see! Please ask us about Golf Packages for Monthly Rentals! Solaia recently had an interior design glow-up to embrace the coastal chic vibe that many of our guests enjoy. Updates to the house and design elements continue to evolve, so we hope that our repeat guests see new items that enhance their Fripp indoor experience.

Fripp Island features a multitude of food and beverage options for your enjoyment. With two championship golf courses, five pool complexes, 6 pickleball courts, 8 tennis courts, and three-and-a-half miles of uninterrupted beach, Fripp Island is an unspoiled treasure.
