Lovely beach stay

Jib's was a lovely place to stay with kids and dogs. It's a short 3 minute walk to the beach and has a lovely pool as well. The set-up is ideal with a pocket door closing off the kids room & bathroom for extra quiet in the morning (I didn't have to tiptoe around!) and Jib's even had dog towels and bowls. The kitchen had what we needed to make simple meals. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful views!

We had a great visit! The views were beautiful which was nice since we had some bad weather that kept us inside. Our only issue was the elevators were down the entire time so it was difficult loading/unloading everything especially with 3 little children.

Awesome condo and a great time

We had such a great time at Jib’s retreat. The condo was super clean and the hosts were excellent and very respondent with any question we had. Having the pass to Hunting Island state park was awesome as that is a great place to go and spend a day. The condo had everything we needed and the only disappointing thing was having to leave. We had a great trip!

Fripp Island Retreat

The condo has a beautiful view in a quiet community. Very relaxing and a perfect way to get away from it all. The condo was well equipt with everything we needed and wanted. Our hosts checked on us during our stay to make sure that we had everything we need and were easy to contact. Thanks for letting us enjoy your retreat.

We loved the place & would go back again. Clean, well stocked and a wonderful view. Andrew & Kathy very helpful in anything we needed. They even helped us retrieve items we left behind, quickly with ease. Our only regret, that it was so far to restaurants.

Great little getaway

We loved the location. It was very pet friendly. Would definitely come back again. I will need more than a 3 day weekend next time. I had given the wrong room address at the guard shack at first, but the owners were very quick to respond when i texted them. The only thing about the room, was the coffeepot was left uncleaned from the last visitors. Otherwise, 2 thumbs up.

Enjoyed our visit

Our trip to the SC low country was enjoyable and our stay was easy and comfortable. The property was exactly as portrayed in the listing. The condo was clean, well stocked and had everything we needed. The owner was most attentive and check in was easy. Directions and expectations were complete and helpful. I highly recommend this property. Just take all your groceries in with you or plan to eat in nearby towns as the restaurants on the island all require an amenities card to eat in the restaurants.

Gorgeous views & comfortable condo.

We loved being able to hear and see the ocean. Reading a book on the window seat. Comfortable and well-stocked. Preparing meals was a delight. A wonderful place to relax with family and we enjoyed having the option to bring our dog on this trip. Owners went above and beyond to accommodate us anytime we had a question or need. Prompt responses, with a gracious, and kind attitude. Hope to return in the future. A refreshing, memorable, and joy-filled time had by all.

Great little spot! Highly recommended.

Great spot for a weekend getaway. The owner was always available when I needed him which wasn’t too often. Place was as described. Unless amenity cards are a must then this place should be on your list of options of places to stay when doing your research. My only complaint (and this won’t be an issue for a lot of folks) is that I cook a great deal at home pretty much almost every night (wanna be chef) and the kitchen could use a few more kitchen type items. But that’s it. Again, won’t bother most folks. So if you’re looking for a nice place to hang out then check this place out.

Frippin’ Great Time!

My husband, three daughters, sweet pup, and I stayed at this rental property on Fripp Island, and we had the best time! The beds and couch were comfy to lay and sit on. The towels provided for our use weren’t just the basic white towels but were rather fluffy and blue. As silly as this sounds, it made a huge difference in my opinion of this rental property. The condo was super clean, and it was well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed (although we brought our own for a lot of items because many other places we’ve stayed didn’t provide these things at all). Communication with the owners was a breeze, and we appreciate how they made sure everything was perfect for us! Thank you so much!!!

Perfect spot for a couples getaway. Off the beaten path for privacy and yet close enough to get to all the amenities. We rented golf cart and bikes so we could enjoy the whole island. The homeowner was fantastic in communication and responsive to all my questions!! Thanks again for a great trip.

Beautiful stay in fripp island

The rental was nice, with a great ocean view. The owner was easy to deal with and took care of all our needs. We had a problem with a TV and someone was there in 20 minutes to fix it. Kitchen had everything we needed with an abundance of spices for cooking. Even supplied a dog bowl, towels and a bed for them. I highly recommend fripp island. Abundance of deer everywhere and even saw a alligator on the golf course. Near a fishing and crabbing pier and at low tide the beach exrends really far out with shells, sand dollars and lots to explore. The hunting island state park beach has an old forest with lots if cool tree skeletons left in the sand. We plan on going back again.

New England natives who now live in Atlanta, we harbored a dream to purchase a waterfront home to vacation in, and to rent out. Jib's Retreat (named after the best dog in the history of dogs) is that dream realized.
