This home is absolutely beautiful, just as the photos indicate. We had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The owner is great to work with too! Fripp Island is a great place to get away from it all. The wildlife is amazing.

Fripp Island Relaxing Beach Vacation

Guest: Nancy (Mauldin, South Carolina)
Date of Stay: 04/30/11 Review Submitted: 06/05/11

We just spent the first two weeks of May at Fripp -- and loved the island. Seabreeze is a wonderful house -- all the rooms were very comfortable, cool breezes made the porches a pleasant, relaxing time, and the kitchen was like being at home. I was able to prepare our traditional seafood meals -- Frogmore Stew, New England clam steam, and the Blue Crabs. The fish market just before Harbor Island was very convenient. We enjoyed the wildlife, and each evening took a golf cart ride to enjoy the deer, egrets, etc. The beach is excellent for walking, and a short walk from Seabreeze is a wonderful pier to fish or crab. Donna was just wonderful with suggestions for island activities, anything we needed at the house, and other areas nearby to visit. Do take heed to grocery shop on your way to the island -- the nearest big grocery store is back near Beaufort. We usually go to Destin, FL, Panama City Beach, or Myrtle Beach. When I found the Seabreeze on Fripp Island, I thought this would be a nice change from the crowded locations. Well, it was exactly what we wanted -- a relaxing vacation where we could really enjoy our stay. Donna, thanks for letting us enjoy your wonderful home and island!

Our favorite location at Fripp

Guest: Anne (Berkeley Lake)
Date of Stay: 04/02/11 Review Submitted: 06/14/11

We have been going to Fripp for 20+ years. Donna's house is by far our favorite property on the island. The house has everything you need...and more. Pet friendly is a huge issue for us and that worked out perfectly. We had three boys under 9 and there was plenty of room for adults and children alike. Having the golf cart included is also convenient. Donna is so accommodating....a perfect get away.

Spacious, lovely decor, fabulous porches

Guest: Deborah (TN)
Date of Stay: 09/25/10 Review Submitted: 10/04/10

Were we so pleased with the beauty, both inside and outside of this well-maintained home. Lovely beach-themed decor adorned each room. The furnishings were comfortable and inviting. The kitchen was well-appointed, with every possible item needed for preparing meals and snacks. Baths were outfitted with plenty of nice towels. Kitchen and baths were spotlessly clean. Four porches provided ample space to enjoy the outdoors from both the front and back of the house, with plenty of seating. The location was great, with views of the ocean and inlet and marsh. The golf cart was a wonderful way to explore the island. The owner provided many amenities that made our stay easy and pleasant. The home is close to the Cabana Club and Camp Fripp, and the pier at the inlet. We did not use any of the area restaurants, so having a well-equipped kitchen and dining area were assets we really enjoyed. We hope to return to this lovely home as soon as our schedule permits.

Date of Stay: 08/15/10 Review Submitted: 09/08/10

We absolutely loved the Seabreeze. My husband & I hope to go back sometime. We really felt right at home. There was enough room for 6 adults and 3 children and we never felt cramped. We loved sitting on the porches at any time of the day. If you are going to Fripp Island, SC you should really check out this house to rent. We went to SC for our son's wedding and there couldn't have been a more beautiful place to have it than Fripp Island!

Wonderful Place to Stay!

Guest: thangool (Loganville, GA)
Date of Stay: 07/31/10 Review Submitted: 08/08/10

The Seabreeze is a wonderful place to stay it is exactly as it is in the photos. One of the childrens pools is walking distance from the house. The beach is a short golf cart ride away with many options for beach access crossing. No golf carts on the beach. On Fripp you must have a Club card to enjoy all the amenities of the island this home owner provides these and they were waiting for us ready to go. If you do not have the cards you cannot swim in pools or buy anything on the island. The Seabreeze is located adjacent to the Warblers fishing pier which gives you amazing views to the marsh, the ocean and fishing and crabbing potential. The house is very clean and comfortable with four porches to sit on. I can honestly say that this was best stocked kitchen of any vacation home we have ever stayed at down to the kitchen shears and chip clips. This house is very pet friendly we have crate trained dogs and the house worked well. There are lots of dogs on the island. There is a leash law on the island and you must clean up after dogs which we did. The leash law is for the safety of the dogs as well (alligators!). Our dogs had a wonderful time chasing crabs on the beach at night. The views from the top deck of the house are wonderful. This house is a perfect for a trip to Fripp!

Summer Fun at Fripp

Guest: Family Vaca 2010 (Greenville, SC)
Date of Stay: 07/23/10 Review Submitted: 08/02/10

This was my family's first time coming to Fripp Island. It was an absolutely a fantastic trip. The house was gorgeous and the owner was great about contacting us and updating us on information. The best part of all is the house is pet friendly. My family was able to bring our dogs this year. They loved getting to ride in the golf cart looking at the deer while heading to the beach for a daily beach walk. The people on the island are incredibly nice as well. If you are looking for a piece of "The Carolina Life" then come to Fripp and stay here. We are currently already booking for next summer!

We enjoyed our stay on Fripp, and found your house to be very comfortable and terrific for our 2 family reunion. We appreciated the "pet friendly" accomodation (our dog, was especially appreciative...she didn't want to be left behind!).

FRIPP ISLAND IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! THE PEOPLE, ATMOSPHERE AND AMENITIES WERE ALL SO INVITING! THANKS TO THE JOHNSON'S FOR SHARING THEIR FABULOUS ISLAND GETAWAY! IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE RELAXING VACATION! WE PLAN ON RETURNING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE AND HOPE THE SEABREEZE WILL BE AVAILABLE! IT WAS NICE HAVING EVERYTHING AT OUR FINGERTIPS FROM THE FURNISHING OF THE HOME TO THE AMENITIES OF THE ISLAND. THE EXPERIENCE IS ONE WE WILL NEVER FORGET AND CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE AGAIN. OUR TWO DOGS LOVED IT AS WELL AS OUR 21 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND. THERE IS TRULY SOMETHING AT FRIPP ISLAND FOR ALL AGES. WE ALSO THOUGHT THE PRICE OF THE RENTAL TO BE EXCEPTIONAL FOR THIS TYPE OF HOME! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

Memorial Day Weekend

Date of Stay: 05/28/10 Review Submitted: 06/02/10

Brent and Donna, The Mitchell and Jowers families thoroughly enjoyed our extended weekend at The Sea Breeze. Your home was just the right size for us and so nicely decorated and stocked with all the necessary supplies. We all enjoyed Fripp and agree we must make another trip back to experience all the the amenities that Fripp has to offer. The men enjoyed fishing while the women explored downtown Beaufort as well as several walks and drives around the island. We also visited Hunting Island. Sincerely, Carla Jowers

A Great House

Guest: 3 Families (Western KY)
Date of Stay: 05/20/10 Review Submitted: 06/18/10

We loved staying at the Sea Breeze. The house was just right for our families, 8 in all, plus granddogs. Everything needed was supplied, well thought out. The grandkids and dogs loved the porches, we all did. Sea Breeze is just a wonderful place for a family to stay, a lot of room for 3 kids, 2 dogs, and 5 adults. The wild life is unbelievable; the deer came right up to you....A great place to stay when visiting Fripp Island. Would love to go back.

Your home was lovely and the perfect place from which to enjoy Fripp Island. We think that your location (and Fripp is big!) was best for our needs - close to fun pool for kids and beach club. Our favorite was sitting out on screened porch and enjoying the view with our dog. Your pet friendliness was much appreciated and a big deciding factor in our rental. Bedrooms are huge for beach house - very comfortable and pretty. Liked the cul-de-sac too which felt safer for small children with virtually no traffic. We hope to come back to your home next summer and appreciate all you did to make this the perfect place to stay.

Donna, I have stayed in your house twice, and would certainly choose to again. Each time was with a group of ladies, for which the location and decor was perfect. We were able to walk or take the golf cart to any place on the island, and enjoyed the privacy that a separate bath for each bedroom offered. Having dinner on the screened back porch overlooking the water (and deer) was just the best! Fripp is a great location for a holiday!
