Vacation Rentals by Owner

Outstanding!

We just arrived back home in Michigan after a wonderfully relaxing stay in this gorgeous villa on our 2nd trip to Fripp, our first in this unit. We must say our hopes were met and exceeded, due to the kindness of the owners, Katie and Barry, and to their attention to the details of making one's stay at their second to none. The best feature of their place is the balcony, which made us feel as if we were on a cruise ship without the worries of being at sea. The sunrises, the daily visits from dolphins just mere feet away, the flying flocks of pelicans soaring right overhead, the privacy, the views of the ever-changing tides, all make this gorgeous condo the most special place we have ever visited. Even the bed in the dreamy king size bed in the main master bedroom with the perfect ocean view was perfect. Besides loving just tooling around the island of Fripp (might I add catching a 25" redfish while on a charter from the Fripp marina?), we also enjoyed the Beaufort restaurants and shops, driving through nearby Hunting Island State Park, reasonable drive trips to Hilton Head outlets, and even dinner in Charleston. When I get to retire from teaching and join my retired husband, we hope to rent for a month! If heaven is on earth, it is here! On second thought, maybe I should be filling this review with all kinds of falsehoods so nobody reserves the future dates we want to claim, but that wouldn't be my style nor fair to Katie and Barry! Nuts!! ;)

Owner response:Judy and Kevin, Thanks so much for your very nice review. Barry is going to email you some pictures of the redfish they catch in the Fall. I hope one day you and I both can stay there for a whole month! Katie and Barry

My family loved your condo, and Fripp Island. I stayed in the King bedroom upstairs and loved watching the dolphins and the sunrise every morning from my bed. My parents loved the master bedroom, and my son loved having the 2 double beds all to himself. Everyone had their own bathroom, plus the extra half bath. We saw pelicans, sea gulls, deer, a 9 foot alligator(!), hermit crabs, sea snails, sand dollars, star fish. It was amazing! We visited Savannah one day and did the tours. It was beautiful. We stopped by Hilton Head Island on our way back, and we were all so glad we didn't stay there. We were all ready to get back to the quiet of Fripp. Everyone was friendly, and it was so nice and quiet. We felt like we had the beach all to ourselves most of the time. So glad we rented your golf cart to explore the island in. And we also took the bikes for a spin - I loved riding a bike on the beach. I have a favorite Florida condo, and now I have a favorite East Coast condo. Can't wait to visit again!

Thank you SO SO much for an incredible stay at Fripp Island! Besides the deer, dolphins, gorgeousness of the beach, and just how wonderful Fripp is--your condo made our stay even better! The kitchen was full of everything we needed to cook and make ourselves at home. The master bedroom (and the king bedroom upstairs too!) was absolutely breathtaking with the huge window overlooking the water! Thank you for such a clean, spacious and inviting experience! This was our first time to Fripp Island and we hope to come back again! Being parents of 3 little ones, it is never quiet at our house--Fripp was absolutely the relaxation and rejuvenation we needed! Thank you!!!

A Wonderful Place to Visit!

Barry & Katie, thank so for sharing your spacious and tastefully decorated townhouse with our family. It so much more than we had expected with so many personal amenities from the spices in the kitchen to all linens even your cookbook collection chocked full of local recipes. It was one of the most pleasant rental experiences that our family has ever had. Your housekeeper is to be commended; from the moment we opened the door an air of cleanliness greeted us. The weather did not cooperate but we still enjoyed discovering the island. The golf cart was a life saver, as the deer provided entertainment from one end of the island to the other. The weather didn't even hamper the site of dolphins swimming by each day. You were such wonderful folks to help to make our visit memorable. This was our first trip to Fripp; hopefully not our last and the sooner the better. ~Debbie Shults

Beautiful Ocean Views

We loved our stay here! Very spacious, clean condo with amazing ocean views from bedroom windows and deck area. The resort grounds were easy to navigate and the beaches were easy to access by taking the golf cart to a few close options. There are deer at every turn and plenty of gators on the golf course! I also loved how it was so easy to take day trips to Beaufort and Savannah. Other than that there is no reason to leave this beautiful little island.

Fripp Island is a wonderful family vacation place!! This was our second year visiting this condo with our family of 8 (3 generations) and we had, once again a memorable vacation. The condo is roomy enough for all and the kitchen is furnished with everything you would ever need. Whether your in the mood to hang out on the beach all day, visit one of the island's four pools, go crabbing, or ride around on the golf cart looking for Fripp deer...you and your family are sure to have fun! We will be back next year!!

Owner response:Glad you had fun and glad you'll be returning next year. Barry and Katie

Your condo was a wonderful get away! Everything you need is there for you, the amenities are plentiful! I enjoyed a relaxing week with a girlfriend and it couldn't be beat anywhere else. This is the place to go for a great relaxing vacation!!!! You have everything you need to stay in and cook if you want to but there are so many wonderful fresh seafood restaurants close by! Yum!! Bring a book or two, some good friends and listen to the ocean on the deck or go to the pool, it's all GOOD!

Owner response:We're glad you had a good time at Fripp. We hope you will visit again and stay at our condo again, too. Thanks. Barry and Katie

Awesome Condo

6/4/2010 - 6/12/2010 - This was our first visit to Fripp Island and we loved it. Your condo was the perfect relaxing get away. It was very well equipped and so much more room than I expected by just viewing the pictures. We loved the view of the sunrise right outside our bedroom window. Seeing the deer and the dophins and just watching the ocean just feet away was wonderful. The area was very quiet and peaceful and the courtyard was beautiful. The "kids" ages 17,19 & 20, loved taking the golf cart back to the beach in the evenings, that was their time away from the "old folks". Along with my parents, we agreed this was the nicest place we've been on vacation and hope we can make this a yearly event.

Three college buddies get together yearly at Fripp. This was our first stay at this villa, but we will definitely be back! The view is spectacular and the villa has everything you could possibly want. The kitchen is fantastic! Wonderful spot!

Thank you so very much for renting your summer home to our family. It was lovely. We had not vacationed last year so that our son could go to England, so we really needed a break and a nice get-away. Fripp is just beautiful and it was obvious how you really cared about our enjoyment while we were there. With Sincere Thanks, Cathy & Tim, Michael & Emily Geering and Mom- Doloris

Sept 19-Sept 24 This was our first time to Fripp Island and we had a great time. The boys (ages 13 and 14) had a better time at Fripp than Disney. It was a fun filled day waking up to the sunrise over the ocean from the bedrooms and the dolphins right off the deck. Then it was off to the beautiful beach to catch shrimp for dinner. We fished and fed the deer right out of our hands. The condo was beautiful and so comfortable. It was more than enough room and had everything for us to cook and be comfortable. I dont think I could ever vacation in a hotel again after being in your condo. The condo had everything we needed including a great collection of board games to unwind with at night. We are planning our trip for next year already. Thank you again-Tammy, Donald and Daniel

What a wonderful time my family and I had at your beautiful vacation home. The kitchen offered all I needed to prepare our meals. The Beach Club restaurant was so convenient and the food delicious. The children loved the deer and the pool as much as the ocean. I know we are going to want to visit Fripp Island again. Thank you for sharing your place with us. Hopefully we'll see Fripp next year.
