We will be coming back this year to this one! It was extremely clean and came with any and everything you may need that you may have forgotten. Me and my husband are in love with this house. I’ve stayed at a few different houses on Fripp and this one was one of the best by far!

Perfect

This was a short golf cart ride to the beach. If you’re looking for a place to stay and not use amenity cards this is great because it also has a pool that was not hardly ever used or crowded! Wonderful place

Just right for us

Our family of 4 had a great stay on Fripp. The house was clean, easy to check in, and easy to check out. The pool was a great bonus, but we also spent lots of time at the beach and catching fish from the pier.

The house was perfect for our family of 4. It had everything we needed and was extremely clean. Super cute too. The location was much quieter than other areas of the island which we liked. The community pool was clean and well maintained. Will definitely return to stay in the future. We had a fantastic time exploring the island via golf cart we rented from a local company. Short golf cart ride to the beach. Access 9, 15 and 24 were our favorites. Lovely home.

Light and bright

My husband and I enjoyed our short getaway here with our 2 grandkids. Beautiful minimalist home that provided all of the necessities. Kids enjoyed the pool, cruising around in the evening counting deer and boogie boarding (of course ❤️)

Great get away

We enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and updated. The deer on the island are something special to see. The property does not come with an amenity pass to eat or do any activities on the island. It would have been nice to know before hand. Otherwise, we would definitely stay again.

Best House On Fripp

My sisters and I stayed here and were so impressed by this house! We have been staying on Fripp for years and have stayed at many different houses but this one was our favorite. The house matched the pictures perfectly and was very clean. I was a little nervous at first bc I have never used this website but the property manager was awesome. They had answered every question I had and very fast. We will definitely be staying here again next year!

Host does not answer messages thru VRBO. VRBO tried to call and message to no response. Wanted to get code to check in before I departed. No luck

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Feb 2024
Hello Don, I mentioned check in information is sent to you the day of your arrival, as it contains the access code to our home. We sent you the access code to our home 5 hours prior to your check in time, and we also let you check in early. I also have sent you all these messages through VRBO before you arrived, maybe you did not see them, but we did communicate. Thanks, Lisette and Noah
