Thank you Mary for your kind words! We are so happy that your whole family enjoyed their stay at The Blue Sanctuary! Thank you for being so patient with the garage door opener that was "beeping" (until you unplugged it). The replacement circuit board came in the following week.

Best rental house ever

This place was amazing, the best rental house we’ve ever stayed at. The house is breathtaking with a beautiful view and an amazing private pool. First time we’ve ever been to Fripp but would definitely go back and this would be the first house we would stay at. The owners made the check in super easy and communication with them was always quick and easy. Best vacation ever!

I would venture to say that this property is in the top 5% of island rentals. It is such a wonderful house to entertain family of all ages. We look forward to returning at some point in the future!

Worth the Splurge!

This house is amazing! It was our first trip to Fripp and it has definitely spoiled us. Due to the amazing location, beautiful interior, pool and THE VIEW…it’s a bit pricey. But you get what you pay for and we definitely hope to stay again in the future. We were huge fans of the pool, floating away watching the ocean, golfers, and dozens of deer in the evening. It was quiet and private and the owners clearly have great taste in decor.

Best week ever

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect week. The house was a dream come true for our family and the host was extremely responsive. We had never been to Fripp- he provided us with everything we needed to know. The house was perfect for our group of 13. And the bikes, wagon to get to and from the beach, pool, and gorgeous views were highlights for us! We would recommend this home to anyone and everyone!!

Family Vacation

We travel a lot and this was the nicest home we’ve ever stayed in. The layout is perfect for a large group. The view is stunning. The pool very relaxing. We enjoyed the deck, the screened porch and the view from the roof! Notable is that all the furnishings, dishwater, and linens are high quality. You really feel at home. And the homeowner could not be more accommodating. Wonderful week at the beach.

The home is FABULOUS and hands down the best VRBO we have ever stayed in! 8 adults slept comfortably with room to spare! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare meals and serve a large crowd! We enjoyer riding the four bikes provided and also golf carting (rentals) around the island!

This house was fantastic, the views of the 18th hole and the ocean from the entire back side of the house were memorable. Morning coffee watching the sunrise from the screened in porch, spectactular!The house was gorgeous. Everything was so wonderfully appointed - anything we could possibly need or want was right there for us to use. The bedrooms were all so spacious and the house had more than enough room for everyone to enjoy.P.S. We all loved the pool!!Pat & Linda

Frippin’ Awesome!

What a beautiful home! We’ve been coming to Fripp for 13+ years. This new home is stunning and has everything you need to feel at home. We loved the screened in porch at night and everyone enjoyed dipping in the pool to cool off. Great location on holes 10 & 18 but close enough to the ocean to hear the waves crash. Amazing views. We had 8 teenagers with us and they enjoyed biking and golf carting to their fav spots. The hosts were wonderful and available to answer questions! Can’t wait to come back!
