New to the Steel Magnolia in 2025 - a beautiful reclining leather sectional, new cushioned rockers for the front porch, and both decks have been replaced. We look forward to hosting your family in our lovely Fripp home.
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. This home has a long & successful rental history with many happy renters under the previous owner. The Steel Magnolia is our family's "Happy Place!" 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. As you approach our 5 Bedroom 4.5 Bath home that sleeps 12, you will be charmed by this beautiful stunning Southern Home with its gracious and inviting front porch with Charleston-style columns and rockers that leads you into the front entry of this grand home. Once you step into our home, the views and nature surround you. Your breath will be taken away!
Our home has been designed to make your stay both pleasurable and comfortable as possible. It is our pleasure to provide you a great opportunity to relax with your loved ones and to treasure the experience.
The first level of Steel Magnolia provides 2 master bedrooms. The first master bedroom offers a King-size Bedroom overlooking the golf course and ponds with an ocean view setting. Waiting for you is your private luxury bathroom that includes our marble two-person walk in shower with its jetted spas. The granite vanity includes double bowl tops and old-world faucets.
On the other side of our home is the second master Queen-size bedroom with a private bath. The master bedrooms will have luxury bath robes waiting for you and your loved ones.
The home is adorned with rich wood floors and crown molding throughout the Foyer, the Great Room, and the Dining area. Our Dining area offers beautiful views. You will have many great gatherings here. The Great room showcases a large fireplace mantel as the focal point with a large LCD TV and surround sound for movie enjoyment and great family viewing.

Our luxury Gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops and high end stainless steel appliances are well equipped for all the ladies and gentlemen in the home to enjoy. The kitchen overlooks the Great room for great family gatherings.
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.
On the second level of Steel Magnolia you will find 3 more bedrooms. One bedroom has a Queen bed with superior views and a large private bath. Another Queen Size bedroom leads out to a private deck overlooking the golf courses, ponds, and ocean. The deck is a great place for private tanning or just reading a great book.
