Totally renovated during January and February, 2006, located only 50 feet from the seawall & Ocean Point Golf Course; 100 feet from our beach access (last photo). Our villa is situated at the quieter, sunniest end of the island, with its own pool. Our area of Fripp is perfect for lovers of oceanside golf and beach, as well as watchers of the ever-changing ocean and inlet. East-facing waterfront: pink grapefruit sunrises and glimmering moonrises.
If you and your family would like to enjoy a worry-free vacation on a low-key wildlife preserve, where the dolphins play directly in front of your third floor balcony and master bedroom window, and the deer roam freely, then Fripp is your island.
Fripp is a private, gated island, 1½ hours from Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. Also, 15 minutes from Fripp, is the historical town of Beaufort, a picturesque town which is rated as one of the top 10 places to retire by Kiplinger's magazine. Be sure to visit Beaufort's many riverfront (intracoastal waterway) restaurants, antique stores, and excellent historical tours.
The island offers a pristine 3½ mile beach, which is wide, very gradually sloping, with gentle Atlantic waters. Our North Hampton condo complex has its own pool, with an outside shower, and an elevator. Guests may also enjoy additional oceanfront pools, to include the mid-island Beach Club, and the south-end Cabana Club, with a heated pool / kiddie pool / and lagoon pool with waterfalls and mist cave.
Other highlights include 2 championship golf courses (Ocean Point, just steps from your door); miles of nature-filled bike trails; tennis; rentals of boats, kayaks, golf carts, mopeds, waverunners, and backwater skiffs; fishing and crabbing; dolphin cruises; ocean seining; Family Night with the Naturalist...
OR, just relax in your beach lounger with a great book, and an endless ocean view! Fripp has everything you need for a safe, fun-filled, family holiday away from the hustle and bustle. Come see for yourself! You will wish to return, again and again.

Why the Owner Chose North Hampton Villas
The road to Fripp Island, from beautiful and quaint Beaufort, is a gem in itself. It is the opposite of the road to Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach. The stress leaves you, as you approach the pristine paradise of Fripp...
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium Villa
When you open the door to our villa, all you see is Blue Atlantic Ocean...dolphins, tides going in and out, watercraft, people fishing off the seawall. This is the wild ocean, not a beach.

(From 4 nice guests who stayed with us during the 3-day Labor Day weekend): HI Lisa. Just wanted to thank you for letting us rent your condo. It was a very good time for all of us. The view is wonderful. Fripp Island is quite a place. We rented a cart one day and drove all around the island. The beach is great and the marsh is beautiful. One of my favorite things about the south. Also wanted to tell you how clean your condo was and what a pleasure it was to stay there. We will keep you in mind in case we ever go to Fripp again. Thank you Martha

From our much-appreciated, repeat guests: Lisa- we had a wonderful time. Sunday was really hot and sunny then Mon was sunny then clouds with a good afternoon/evening thunderstorm. Tues was partly cloudy but nothing kept us out of the pool lounge chairs. We had a wonderful time as always and look forward to next year's return! I love your new chair (Lazy Boy Rocker/Recliner)! Fondly, Lena

(This is a very nice thank-you from 2 kind couples from Tennessee, who were recently our guests for 4 nights): Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed your unit. We're already talking about another trip. Not sure if we'll try to get one in again before the end of the year. Well stocked, nicely decorated, one of the nicest rentals we've stayed in. Love the keycode instead of having to keep up with a key. Thanks again, I maybe contacting you again. Lynda

Kind comments from 4 friends who stayed at our place this Aug., 2009: Hi, Lisa. Yes, we arrived safely, toured Savannah, Charleston and the beautiful towns all around Fripp. We got there late Saturday night and left Saturday morning. Fripp is more beautiful than we ever imagined. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the sun rise. The deer were taking crackers from our hands, how cute are they?!?! We didn't see many dolphins, just their fins as they swam by a couple times. This was definitely one of our best trips. Your condo was beautiful, warm and inviting, we absolutely loved it. We thought about staying and making you evict us, that should take around six months, but we didn't have enough clothes with us. We found everything we needed. So, thank you for everything, I hope some day we can return to your beautiful home. Take care. Bette

(We rec'd this nice unsolicited email from recent guests.) Lisa- Just wanted to let you know we had an amazing time on Fripp. It was exactly as you described it. There was so much to do, but we were always relaxed. Having young kids, it was wonderful to have to pool right at our condo, but we also used the others on occasion. The beach was great, too. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. We hope to go back again next year! Sincerely, Amanda and Scott

This kind message, much appreciated by me (an Army Brat) is from the husband of the family who were our guests, from 5/30 - 6/6/09: Lisa, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say what a great time my family had during our recent to Fripp. Your condo was perfect and everything was in such great order upon our arrival. We had an absolute ball and the weather was the best we have every had at Fripp. Thanks for your support and notes to Lisa while I was deployed, she certainly appreciated it. Thanks again for all your support and for your father's service and dedication to our great nation. 416th TEC LNO

Lisa, I think I wrote you last week about how much fun we had...did you get the email? We had an absolute blast!!! Spotted the dolphins the minute we opened the door. Loved having such a convenient place. Everything in the condo was clean and nice and convenient. It was so great to be able to use your chairs, umbrellas and towels and not have to pack them ourselves. We found the hose by the front stairs very useful in keeping everything sand free after a fantastic day at the beach,. We crabbed, fished, caught sand crabs, watched alligators, swam in the pool, played on the beach, (our favorite spot is POA 2), fed the deer, road around on the golf cart, caught a flounder with my throwing net, caught a sting ray, ate great seafood from Bonita Boathouse, and Gay's...We went to the little place just past the state park going out on the right beside Bubba's (can't remember the name.) Russ caught his first fish at the end of the island near the rocks at low tide. Wilson is an excellent crab snatcher! Can't think of one thing to suggest! Really appreciated the coded door so that we did not have to keep up with a key...that was brilliant! My brother and sister-in-law, nephew and neice live in Beaufort and they met us on the beach for some family time...it was great. Needless to say, it was a welcomed and very enjoyable trip with Clete back home. We really appreciate your generosity...hope to visit again soon. I'll forward pictures a little later. Thanks again! Lisa

(This is from a nice couple who stayed w/ us 5/9-5/16/09. They initially had difficulty with connecting to our wireless, but we quickly responded w/ some suggestions.): Lisa, Just a quick note to say thanks for a wonderful vacation! We had a great time. Your unit was the best stocked we have seen yet. The wireless issue was actually due to some security feature that my local isp had put on the computer. We'll reach out to you when we're ready to take our next trip. Best regards, Chris Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

(This is a note from a very sweet mother and daughter who have an annual getaway together. This was their first time to Fripp, early April 2009.): Dear Lisa, I want to apologize for not letting you know sooner about our wonderful vacation. Debbie and I had an incredible time. The condo was beautiful with amazing views. It was all we had hoped for and more. It was so well equipped and very clean. We enjoyed so much watching the dolphins and the sunrise and sunsets were breathtaking. We had a full moon and the reflection on the water was a beautiful sight. Debbie enjoyed her walks on the beach and found some very pretty shells. We loved taking drives around the island and observing the many deer. We went to Beaufort and visited the historic district. It was truly a very special vacation for our very special time together. Thanks for sharing your beach home with us and for being so very helpful. We will defintely recommend it to family and friends. Sincerely, Betty and Debbie

(Very nice family who were guests from 4/28-5/3/09. Note how easy it is to get "stuck" on sandbars, whether in a boat, or otherwise): Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 11:22 PM Subject: Re: Your Fripp Vacation Hi Lisa! The vacation was wonderful. However, no one told the fish. :) We only caught a few fish but it was fun being out there and being together as a family. My brother was in Hilton Head so he came over a couple days and fished with us. My husband and him braved the ocean one day and although they did not go far, they managed to get stuck on a sand bar. So that day they were out there til 8:30 pm when the tide had come back in enough to get unstuck. So they learned a valuable lesson. I just was happy the kids and I were not with them. We swam at the pool there at the condo and watched them from the rock wall. All in all, very amusing! We were very sad to leave and are trying to adjust to being home again. Thanks again! Jennifer
