Map & Owner's Profile
Shimmer-Shine Villa! Now with Free Wi-Fi and Free Golf Cart!
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose New Haven Villas
We brought this place because Fripp is so beautiful and safe and uncrowded! Even when they were younger, we could let the kids walk, bicycle, or (now that they are older) golf cart around the island with no worries. We also enjoy the restaurants and galleries and historic homes of Beaufort and occasional day trips to Savannah and Charleston with the kids. It's an ideal location.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The nearest golf course is just a few steps from our front door! I love walking the uncrowded beach and reading a book with my toes in the surf. The kids love to bring friends along on vacation,and there is plenty of room for that with our large bedrooms. They also enjoy cruising around the island on golf carts.

I loved my stay at the ShimmerShine Villa. The condo was very comfy for my large family. The multiple bedrooms made it nice so eveyrone had enough space. The dining area and kitchen worked well for eating in, games and all family gatherings. We loved the ocean views, the great pool, the golf courses and the beach was fantastic. Weather cooperated everyday and no one wanted to go home! I would highly recommend Fripp and this condo to any family wanting a relaxing beach vacation in a safe and fun environment!!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.
