Home Watch
Let us bring you peace of mind
while you're away.
Whether you're a seasonal snowbird, frequent traveler, or your unoccupied property is on the market, a home watch is a necessity, not a luxury. In South Carolina’s coastal climate, an unoccupied home is vulnerable to undetected air conditioning failures, mold, pest infestations, burglars, leaks, and other disasters.
Our home watch program is custom designed to fit your home and lifestyle. After sitting down with you, we customize a plan that matches your unique needs. Need something that we haven't already mentioned? Reach out - we are flexible and can add or remove services as your needs change. So, sit back and relax knowing what matters most to you is in trusted hands.
Although Island Life Service will do its best to provide Auto Watch customers with information regarding the condition of their vehicle and its status, Island Life Service will in no way be liable for any damage to the vehicle or associated equipment, which may occur at any time. Vehicle owners will agree to contact their auto insurance company in order to determine if Island Life Service needs to be included as a covered driver on their insurance.

Meet the Owners
Russell & Molly
Made Fripp Home
2018
My name is Russell Lewis. My wife Molly and I are the owners, managers and boots on the ground for Island Life Getaway. Prior to becoming involved in property management, I was a police officer for 24 years.
Molly and I left our home in Michigan because as Molly put it, " We are not going to grow old in the cold". We discovered Fripp Island, fell in love and made it our home in July of 2018.We brought our hard working attitude, ethics, honesty and attention to detail, to serve our community. We started our property services by customizing care to owners who wanted to rent out their home on Fripp Island.
We have gained knowledge and experience that has helped us better serve our clients, protect their investment and greatly enhance the guest experience. We are always striving to continue our education and give our owners and guests the best vacation experience possible.Search All Homes and Villas
