About this home
Perched high above the Atlantic Ocean, Fripp Inlet, and the protected beauty of Hunting Island State Park, 18 River Club is a truly extraordinary waterfront retreat offering some of the most breathtaking sunrise views on Fripp Island. Designed with distinctive Caribbean-inspired architecture, this one-of-a-kind property captures the essence of relaxed coastal luxury while providing exceptional privacy, flexibility, and low-maintenance island living.
Situated on a beautifully elevated half-acre homesite, the property is thoughtfully designed with three separate structures connected by expansive wraparound decking. The main residence features an open-concept floor plan with soaring vaulted ceilings, walls of Andersen windows, and panoramic water views from nearly every room Natural light pours into the living spaces each morning as the sun rises over the Atlantic, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the stunning coastal scenery beyond.
The main house offers two bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite on the main level, complete with a partially cedar-lined walk-in closet, dual vanities, quartzite countertops, a rainhead shower, and a skylight. Extensive renovations and upgrades throughout the home include all-new high-impact LVP flooring, freshly painted interiors, designer lighting, new ceiling fans, updated electrical systems, and a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring quartzite countertops, Dura Supreme soft-close cabinetry, a stainless farmhouse sink, a marble wet bar, and premium Bosch appliances, including a dual-fuel gas cooktop and electric oven.
Connected by expansive waterside decking, the detached guest cottage provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a living area, a wine cooler, and a large projection screen TV -- all overlooking Fripp Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. This private guest retreat offers an ideal setup for hosting family and friends while maintaining comfort and privacy for everyone.
Outdoor living is equally exceptional. Expansive wraparound porches, a large screened cabana, multiple entertaining decks, and a newly renovated waterfront fish and sunning deck create endless opportunities to enjoy the ocean breezes and spectacular views. Walk directly down the seawall steps to your own private beach for fishing, kayaking, shelling, or simply enjoying the serenity of the coast.
Meticulously maintained and extensively improved, the home features cedar siding, standing seam metal roofing, roll-down hurricane protection, new gutters on all structures, security cameras, freshly painted exterior surfaces, and a Lennox high-efficiency HVAC system installed in 2025. The spacious two-car garage and substantial lower-level storage areas provide abundant room for vehicles, beach equipment, golf carts, kayaks, and all of your coastal lifestyle essentials.
Ideally located, the property is just a short golf cart or bike ride to Fripp Island's beach club, marina, golf courses, restaurants, and island amenities, offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Short-term rentals are permitted on Fripp Island, and this home offers exceptional rental potential with rental projections available upon request.
Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, architectural character, panoramic waterfront scenery, sunrise exposure, and thoughtful renovations in one exceptional offering. 18 River Club is truly a must-see coastal sanctuary unlike anything else on Fripp Island....
