Our first time at Fripp - we truly love it. We have converted to Fripp from Hilton Head - especially if you want a relaxing, no pressure, back to nature, easy experience. . . .Ocean view was great - thanks for offering your place to people who want to spend a week or so in paradise. Hope to be back in 2011.

We've had a wonderful vacation. We saw shrimp boats just outside the door, pelicans, alligator and deer everywhere. The private patio was very nice. We sat out there in the evenings and watched the stars. The adult pool was an added bonus. We have truly enjoyed Fripp Island. Hope to bring the whole family next year. Deanna, South Carolina

Our stay at Fripp was entirely too short! The weather was perfect. We did encounter rain on the last day. However, the rainbow that followed was gorgeous. We met a delightful full time elderly couple that gave us a tour on their golf cart. A morning shopping trip to the outlets at Hilton Head and an afternoon drive to Magnolia Gardens were also highlights to our short week of fun on Fripp. The deer, herons, alligators and other wildlife gave us a true natural adventure - as did the evening at the park on Hunting Island.

Hi! My name is Allie and I am 11 years old and it is my first time to Fripp Island. This was an amazing vacation! I came with my sister, my dad, and Hope. We had a great time at the beach and in the pool. We found so many deer and 3 alligators. I also went to Savannah, GA, it is the most haunted city in America, or at least one of them! The island was amazing too, and we fed the deer. We had a very fun time and the beautiful condo made it even more wonderful, thanks!

We have been coming to Fripp for many years, stayed in villas and rented homes for our family. It continues to be one of my favorite places to go! The beach, the ocean, and of course the deer. Our first evening there were eight of them and each evening they returned. Your villa is lovely! We try to visit in May and October - two beautiful months. Thank you for sharing with us.

Comments entered from Guestbook: When we arrived at the villa, only one word comes to mind - Paradise. The ocean, broad white beach, and many deer on our doorstep. We've roamed all over the island and have decided that this is the perfect location. Gorgeous weather this weekend. . . We recommend the nearby food court, breakfast at Ocean Grill, lunch at Johnson Creek Tavern, and the nature center in the state park. Thank you for providing this paradise for our much needed break. PS: enjoyed all the wildlife - squadrons of pelicans, even the enormous alligator! A lovely condo - so bright and fresh with perfect accents.

Comments entered from guestbook: My sister and I have had a wonderful time on Fripp while staying in your 404. I love all your "nautical" decorations and beach art. the condo was very comfortable for us - such easy access to the waves! We spent a lot of our time browsing in the shops on the Sea Island Pkwy and in Beaufort. one of our favorite shops was the Red Piano Too on St. Helena Island. I took lots of pictures of the deer for my 4-year-old grandson, but we failed to see any alligators. . . . We ate at all but one of the restaurants you suggested in your notebook for guests. Enjoyed all the meals, plus, we ate pizza twice from the food court. Thanks for making your condo available.

Entered from Guest Book: Relaxation says it all. The beach is great, our 5-year-old loves to dig in sand & the tidal pools are safe when you want to relax. . .Did see turtles hatch & plenty of deer, even a rainbow after a day of storms. We did finally try the Ocean Club next door. Great food and wait staff. Suggest everyone try Gay Fish Co - great choices & prices. Did see dolphin on shelling cruise and deer at 4 pm & at dusk every night at the back door. Great week!

This is our first visit to Fripp Island and sure not to be our last! Our 4-year-old loves the beach and her new friends - why can't we stay lots of days, she asks. Our 1-year-old loves the sand and tide pools and long naps after lunch. Thanks for sharing your condo with us!

Although we've been to SC several times, this was our first visit to Fripp Island. We loved the location of this condo! We've stayed ocean front places before, but have never been able to hear the surf from our bedroom or see the moonlight reflect off the water. We spent a lot of time at the beach and were glad to be so close to dash in out of the rain or come in for a quick bite to eat. We also enjoyed zipping around the island on the golf cart, finding the pools and stopping in the activity center with the kids. We think Fripp Island had the perfect blend of rest, relaxation, and activities and hope to come back again soon!

It has been a couple of years since we have been to Fripp. This trip made us realize why we keep coming back. There is no other island in the Carolina's quite like it. We loved your condo - great location and the privacy wall on the patio makes you want to stay out late and gaze at the stars! The weather was great! We had a wonderful thunder and light show one night which kept us spellbound for about 1 1/2 hours. During the day nothing but sun. See ya next year Fripp!

Thanks for the lovely condo to stay in. It has the perfect location for a restful vacation. We would love to return soon, next time with more of our family. Took the dolphin and shelling cruise - so worth it! The Gay Fish Company will be our future grocery store - stopped there 2 times. What else do you need for a great meal. :)

Entered from Villa Guestbook: Thank you for sharing your condo this week with us. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up calling the airline and extending my stay. I've never stayed in a condo where I can walk out the back door and be on the beach! Incredibly peaceful, isolated, and relaxing! During our stay we ate at The Boathouse and Johnson Creek Tavern. By far the best dinner we had during our stay was the night we purchased grouper, shrimp, and scallops from Gay Fish Company - delicious fresh seafood prepared by mom! We also rented a golf cart for the week - we had a blast cruising the island, looking at homes, the deer and the beach. We were fortunate enough to see 2 gators on the island over by Davis Love Golf Course. It was very exciting! Thanks again for providing such a great place to stay!

Comment from Villa Guestbook: Thank you so much for sharing your condo - wonderful view! ! Very easy location to the beach with two small children. We took a nature cruise to Bull Point to find sea shells. The kids had a wonderful time. We rented a golf cart for the week and enjoyed finding "Big Al" the last night we were here. Again, we had a wonderful time and can't wait to come again next year!

Comments entered from Villa Guest Book: Fantastic week - weather was great except for one day! Condo is very, very nice. We shopped at Publix - got our fresh fish at Gay Fish Co - great deal on shrimp, scallops, and grouper - delicious!! If you have the time take the tour in Savannah - the on and off bus tour. Really good and interesting. Went out to eat at Barbara Jeans - good food - great prices. This beach is very nice, and the condo was very comfortable and nice! Be sure to get a golf cart, and go to the ice cream shop - delicious ice cream. Very friendly neighbors!
