We love Fripp Island

We fell in love with Fripp island. A friend told me about it, so when I was planning a girls weekend we thought we'd try it out. We are so lucky to stay in this wonderful, bright, and cheery home. Sometimes when you rent, you get cheap junky furniture and the basic decorations. Not this place. This home had lots of thought put into each room. It was so "homey". The best part was having the towels, chairs and bikes there. It made the packing of the car a lot easier. It was fun getting around on the golf cart. It was in a good location to the beach and on a quiet street. I would definitely rent there again.

We are a group of 15 friends who love kayaking twice a year in the low country. We had the absolute good fortune to rent this lovely home that has every amenity imaginable and some you can't imagine....the owner pays very strict detail to the high quality features of this home.....it is beautifully situated, extremely well maintained inside and out ... the description of the home is well on target and you will sigh with joy when you arrive. The owner is most gracious and wants to make certain everything is perfect for you.......we would recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful relaxing vacation in a beautifully decorated home. This is now going to be our permanent vacation rental for our twice a year kayaking adventures. Beaufort Kayak Tours are the best EVER....we would never go with another outfitter.....AND WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE DOLPHINS WITH US ON THIS TRIP......the entire vacation was truly a blessed gift for us.....especially Footprints in the Sand. MANY MANY THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR LOVELY HOME WITH US.

All you need is your groceries and your clothing! The rest is taken care of by the home owners! Beautiful home, clean, welcoming, kid friendly, wheelchair friendly. Lots of memories made. We had a great week at the beach. The ocean and tidal pools were enjoyed by all. Fripp Island is the perfect place for a family vacation. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had our family Reunion here, June 2012, and it was just lovely! We made such special memories, and the house made it possible for us to come and go as we wished. Large enough to all gather for meals, and convenient enough for us to scatter when we needed time away - to the beach, golf, tennis, kayaking, jet skiing, gator hunting. We had 17 people, and that was probably a stretch for sleeping accommodations, but it worked out fine. It really felt like a home away from home, even with so many people under one roof. Thank you for the special place for a special Reunion!

We had a wonderful experience in this home. The home itself was extremely spacious and perfect for a large family. Everything we needed was at this home including: golf cart, bikes, wagon, beach chairs, etc. The owner went above and beyond her means to make sure our stay was accommodating and most enjoyable.We have been vacationing on Fripp Island for years and this home was certainly a wonderful addition to our stay!!! We certainly will be returning!!

I apologize for the late review. This home was fantastic for 2 families (total of 9) for the week plus some extra family members who visited for a few days. Location is perfect on the golf course and walking distance to the beach. The golf carts and bikes were much appreciated. The boys loved the game room. The weather was the best ever since we have been vacationing on Fripp Island. We hope to be back again!

We had a wonderful time at Footprints! The house was perfect for our family -- so spacious, relaxing, and clean. We loved the convenience of the beach to the house -- very important with kids. Getting around the island and exploring on the golf cart was fun; probably the kids' most memorable activity! Pat Richman was a delight to deal with. All details about the rental were very well prepared. We would highly recommend this house!

Best New Years ever!

Review Submitted 02/24/12

We always love returning to "Footprints", and staying here with family and friends for New Years was another great visit with temps in the 50's and 60's. The home has lots of room with a bright and open feel, comfortable beach decor and fantastic porches overlooking the ocean. The beach here is huge with a gentle slope that's great for children and the access is only a short stroll or more fun golf cart ride. The game room, and use of the golf cart, bikes, beach chairs and toys always provide lots of entertainment. We had a great time crabbing, fishing, golfing and of course sipping drinks on the porch. We can't wait to return.

Fabulous Stay in the Off Season

Guest Great Lakes

Review Submitted 02/21/12

We are two families with college age children from Ontario, Canada that travel to South Carolina each year at the same time - over the Christmas break. We have rented homes at Hilton Head and Isle of Palms over the years. We agree that our time on Fripp - and Footprints- was the best ever. The pictures of the home do not do it justice - it is beautiful, very clean, with everything you will need for a wonderful vacation. The beach is nice and close and the island was quiet. The owner is very helpful and patient, explaining all of the attractions. I would highly recommend this home and hope to visit again soon!

We went with another family for our summer vacation. The house easily fit 2 families of 4. It is light, open, clean, and very cheery. Our friend is a gourmet chef and was thrilled with the huge updated kitchen. The bedrooms were very comfortable as well. The island is extremely child friendly. Our children loved riding everywhere on golf carts, they went to camp one day at Camp Fripp, and they enjoyed seeing deer everywhere we went including the back yard. The island is also bicycle friendly. The beach is huge, and very close by. We all agreed this was the best summer vacation ever!!!

A Wonderful Beach Retreat

Review Submitted 07/19/11

We've never been to South Carolina beaches before and now can't imagine going anywhere else. Would have to agree with the other comments regarding the owner Pat and the caretaker Hutch. They are both so hospitable and organized that they take care of all the details so you are truly on a worry free vacation. The house was great with plenty of light and beautiful views whether your on the front of back deck. Each room has great views, ample space and nicely decorated. We loved the beach, the beautiful sand dunes, the golf cart rides around the Island, the bike rides, bocce ball games on the beach, pool hopping to the many pools on the Island and the two golf courses are great. We'd have appetizers on the upstairs deck overlooking the ocean then grill on the back deck and watch the deer and wait for alligator splashings. All the beaches were very clean and not crowded at all however the beach in front on this house is spectacular - so peaceful and picturesque. We took a boat ride to another little island and saw fresh turtle nestings, we biked to Hunting Island and enjoyed the beautiful sea landscapes, enjoyed 2 hours walks from tip to top each morning...the list could go on and on. Very family friendly Island and house. Great for families and friends - we have many happy memories!

The owners have provided everything one could want in a beach house including toys for the beach. Just bring food, clothes and sunscreen. The house will be bright even on a cloudy day with many windows and views of the ocean and golf course. The porches are fantastic. The owners and caretaker both contacted us to be sure that we were settling in. You will be pleased if you select Footprints at Fripp for your vacation. There's plenty of room for a large group to gather and places to be alone and quiet. And it's handicapped accessible. May 2011

We loved, loved the house. It is very spacious and well equipped with everything you need for cooking and entertaining a large crowd. The gameroom was perfect for our teenage grandsons and our little grandaughters loved riding their bikes on the quiet street. The beach access was only a few houses down and was a wonderful place for walking and flying kites. We have stayed in a lot of houses from Tybee to Pawley's Island and have never been treated with such care and concern for our vacation. The owner called after we arrived to make sure that we had everything we needed and to ask if we were enjoying the house. The battery on the golf cart was going bad. We called the house manager and he was there immediately to replace it. Now I call that service!

This was our third time to Fripp. This was by far the best house we have stayed at. Pat and Hutch are awesome. By far Pat is the most attentive owner we've had the pleasure to know. The house was perfect for 6 adults and 4 kids. By far the cleanst house we've ever vacationed at. Emaculate!! Very nice to have a golf cart included. I've completely enjoyed my stay. The most relaxing in a long time. Dr. Greene. 10/2/10-10-9/10.

A Comfortable Getaway

The owner was very helpful. She provided us with any phone numbers we might need during our stay and called within 24 hours of our arrival to make sure we found the house in good condition and everything in working order. The house is comfortable and nicely decorated. We especially enjoyed the upper front porch--a nice place to congregate in the evening and enjoy the ocean breeze. We all enjoyed watching the deer who came into the yard on a daily basis. A treat for the adults as well as the children.

The house had everything our party of six needed on our five day stay at Fripp. The house is very accommodating we also found everything to be so convenient. The house is so close to the beach that we could make trips throughout the day on the golf cart or walk and not miss out on anything. The booking process was made easy by Pat, she is great to work with. The questions I sent via email were all responded to within a couple of hours. I highly recommend this house.

What a delightful time we (5 couples) had during a 5 night stay at Footprints. Lots of great food, fellowship, games, watching deer, golf carting over every inch of the island and simply enjoying the wonderful and spacious house. Thanks to Pat for all of her helpful ways in making our vacation so memorable. Emily Shockley --- Greer, SC

We had a wonderful time in the house, which has a very well set up kitchen, and makes it easy to do meals for a large family group. Beach was very close, the golf cart was wonderful in enhancing the mobility of our older family members. Beach area is very conducive to sitting and to long walks or hikes, and walking way out to the sand bar in low tide was a thrill for all of us. A great house with a wonderful living room vibe. Bedrooms are also very comfortable. We hope to visit the low country and your place again!

Footprints was a perfect house for an annual gathering of The Same Sweet Girls, and everyone still raves about it. There is ample room for everyone, in a beautiful house with a great view! Girlfriend groups: Take our advice and have your next gathering on Fripp Island, at Footprints.

Footprints was the perfect getaway. Clean, very beautiful, very relaxing and just a great vacation home to want to come "home" to, after a day of touring. We took many day trips, some just steps to the fantastic beach and some in another state! and we were happy to come home to Footprints. We plan on revisiting. Great fun and we loved having access to all of the island amenities - thank you Footprints! Awesome.

Our family had a delightful week in Footprints in the Sand located on one of the most gorgeous islands along the East coast. The house is beautifully furnished and the kitchen was well equipped. We especially enjoyed the convenient grill on the deck. All the bedrooms are bright and cheerful and the views of the ocean and golf course are lovely. It was fun to wave at our family when they passed by our house during their round of golf! This beautiful home is located within easy walking distance of the nicest beach access on the island. The owner is friendly and very easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to our next stay in Footprints in the Sand and would not hesitate to recommend it to our friends.
