Access Control

Fripp Island is a private, gated community, and entry by the public is prohibited. Persons seeking entry must be identified at the gatehouse to determine their purpose. The Association reserves the right to limit access to any person when it considers it to be in the best interest of the community.

1. Automobiles entering the community must display the appropriate decal, pass, or possess other approved access authority to be permitted on the island. Drivers of vehicles without a valid decal or pass must stop and be processed at the security gatehouse for authority to enter the island.
2. Residents and FIPOA members must preauthorize all visitors via phone internet, or mobile app or provide a list of visitors by name to the Fripp Island Security. If a visitor has not been preauthorized and the resident or member cannot be reached access may be delayed or denied.
3. Residents and FIPOA members must preauthorize individuals and companies conducting business on Fripp Island. However, anyone conducting business on the island must have a daily pass or annual decal. Some exceptions apply and are at the sole discretion of the Association, e.g., emergency services, government vehicles, public utilities, or medical health professionals.
4. Any contractor, subcontractor, service provider, vendor, or individual seeking access to Fripp Island to provide a service for a resident or commercial operation will be required to purchase a daily pass or annual commercial decal. Commercial pass holders may access the island Monday through Saturday from 7:30 am – 7:00 pm excluding holidays, unless otherwise approved in advance by the Fripp Island Property Owners General Manager or Assistant General Manager.  Trash services permitted access to the island no earlier than 6:30 am. Additionally, Deliveries/Pick-Up/Service Providers for any Fripp Island Resort Commercial Facilities may be allowed on island prior to the 6:30 am designated time provided that the service or work being performed can be done so in a quiet manner.  Should any provider breach the above Rules, the fine will be $500.00.
