About Us

We are a family who fell in love with Fripp Island and never looked back. Welcome to our little corner of the South Carolina coast.

Shipwrecked 3 — the story behind the name

Our Story

The Story Behind Shipwrecked 3

Fripp Island found us before we found it. On a road trip down the South Carolina coast, we stumbled onto this private barrier island — its live oaks, its wild beaches, its unhurried pace — and we knew we had to come back. And back. And back again.

Shipwrecked 3 is the culmination of that love affair: a spacious, beautifully appointed beach house designed to give your family or group the same feeling we had on that first visit. The name is a nod to the island's seafaring history and to the happy accident of discovery that brought us here.

We've poured care into every corner — from the fully stocked kitchen to the wide deck where you'll watch the sun set over the marsh — because we believe the best vacation homes feel like a home, not a rental.

Moments & Philosophy

Life at Shipwrecked 3

Island Life

The Morning Ritual

Every morning on Fripp Island starts the same way: coffee on the deck, the sound of the surf, and the slow realization that there is nowhere else you need to be.

Guest Stories

A Family Tradition

Some of our favorite guests have been coming back year after year, watching their children grow from toddlers to teenagers against the backdrop of the same Atlantic horizon.

Our Approach

The Philosophy

We believe a great vacation home should feel effortless — stocked, clean, and comfortable before you arrive, and so welcoming that leaving feels like a small heartbreak.
