Captain John Fripp Villa #106 - 4BR/4BA Oceanfront!

We have vacationed at Fripp for a number of years - we will be putting this rental at the top of our favorites list. Perfect location! Wonderful views of the ocean; we could sit at the kitchen table enjoying coffee or a meal and watch the waves. This unit has been designed (& beautifully refurbished) to make excellent usage of the space. We loved all the seating (plenty of chairs on the deck!). It was only a few steps off the deck to the beach walkway. Everything was neat and clean!; kitchen well stocked. There are steps to get into the condo (it's on the 2nd/3rd floors) which make the views ideal. There is a spiral stair from the deck to the grassy yard & beach path. Owners were very quick to respond to questions and refund deposit. We will be back & we highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a special place at the beach!

We have been vacationing on Fripp for years and booked this villa while we were down for our wedding this year. This is by far the nicest rental we have stayed at. The views are amazing, the beds and furniture are very comfortable, and the entire villa is decorated beautifully. There was plenty of room, and all of our guests commented how they want to book this unit during their future vacations. We will definitely be back!

Every year we take a family vacation with my parents and my brother's family. There are 6 adults and 4 children 13, 9, 7, and 5. The youngest three are boys so the open courtyard came in really handy! The condo was absolutely amazing! The colors and decorations used in this condo make you feel like you are in a fancy resort. There were plenty of comfy places to sit and relax as well as a huge kitchen table for family dinners. We cooked every night in the very well equipped kitchen. We have been staying in condos for years and we have never stayed in one that was as stocked as this one. Tons of pots and pans, silverware, knifes, cooking utensils. You name it they had it!. The way the condo is set up is perfect for multiple families. We did not feel like we were on top of each other at all. There are nice size TV's in every room making it very easy to relax by yourself if you are not feeling the rest of the group. I also loved the sitting room upstairs, this is perfect for the kids. The deck is amazing too as well as the location of the condo! We loved riding the golf cart in the evening and of course getting ice cream(this is a must). Fripp Island is a one of the kind place. It is very family oriented. I loved seeing all the kids riding bikes or golf carts. It was amazing to see all the kids disconnected from their cell phones and enjoying life. My mother says Fripp is like going back in time!! The owners were very easy to deal with. They answered any question I had and were eager to help in any way. We will definitely be coming back to Fripp! Oh yea the beach and the pools were great too! We got to see the turtle eggs hatch. It was amazing!

Our two adult children, their spouses, and four granddaughters enjoyed this condo so much in 2014, that we returned again this summer over the 4th of July. (See previous review.) The 4th of July Parade was more impressive than we expected. We watched the fireworks from the boardwalk to the beach. With a well equipped kitchen, our children and their families could save money by preparing most evening meal at the condo. All three families prepared one evening meal. My wife and I provided a dinner of Frogmore Stew (a local low-country meal--check out this link: www.whatscookingamerica.net/soup/frogmorestew.htm ). Our granddaughters, now 11, 12, 14, and 15, balanced their time at the beach and the family pool. The granddaughters loved to pose for many picture with beautiful backdrops. My wife and I spent a great deal of time at the adult pool. Both pools are in close walking distance. Our total crew returned to the Steamer Oyster & Steakhouse on Lady's Island for one evening meal. The Steamer has been one of our traditions for 24 years. This year my wife and I brought our bicycles, but the heat and humidity were a bit too much. Late spring or early fall would be a better time for biking; however, it is a great way to explore the island. We did ride 14.4 miles one day. The owners are great to work with and that was a major factor in returning this year. My wife and I will return next summer with three other couples who are close relatives and are also experienced Frippers.

Starting in 1992, my wife and I have vacationed many times at Fripp Island. We stayed in this condo in 2002. The renovations by the current owners are simply outstanding. We hosted our son and daughter, their spouses, and our four granddaughters ages 9, 10, 12 and 13. Our goal was to create memories for the granddaughters. Fripp Island and this condo provided the place and the magic to achieve that goal. This condo is the best that we have stayed in over the years and was just as it was advertised. The granddaughters loved the beach and had little interest in the swimming pools--they told us we can go to the pool back home. One day we rented a six passenger golf cart and toured the Island with our granddaughters, which included, the Activity Center, looking for alligators, lunch, ice cream, and swimming in two different pools. The well equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare many family meals in the condo, which included a traditional shrimp boil dinner. Our son-in-law practiced soccer with the granddaughter on the large grassy area next to the condo. We will be back and would recommend this unit to family and friends. The property owners were great to work with.
