About this property

Fabulous house close to the beach

Welcome to Dolphin's Delight!

Less than a 500 yard walk to the beach!( Special Note ) All guests receive 5 complimentary amenity cards.

619 Dolphin is nestled on a corner lot just three houses away from the beach access, no need to worry about loading all of your beach gear (just a short walk).

The house is centered around one large room that is divided into 4 different spaces: the living room, the den area facing the TV, the dining area that can seat up to 6 people, and the Kitchen that has space to accommodate multiple cooks. Every door leads to a porch, the two back porches are covered and the top floor porch is uncovered for those who want to sunbathe without going to the beach.

Also on the first floor is the first of two bedroom suites and a half bath for guests. The second floor has a central hallway that leads to the second master bedroom suite and to the other 4 bedrooms (as stated each bedroom has a door leading to a porch). There is room enough for 5 cars, two in the driveway and three in the parking lot on the side.

No pets allowed, please!

Wonderfully decorated and accommodating Fripp Island home. The six bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths easily accommodated our big family group. Patricia, the owner, was quick to respond with any questions we had. We will add this beach house to our short list of larger properties, close to the beach, that we will rent year after year. Thank you, Patricia and Sean.

Definitely would rent again!!

We were a group of 12 (bride and groom's immediate families) and layout was perfect. Plenty of parking, beach supplies and kitchen needs for our chefs (family) to do their thing. Owner & property manager were a DREAM. It was obvious their #1 priority was for us to have the best experience during our stay. Thank you!!!

Fripp Trip 2025

We had 11 people (4 families) and this house was perfect. We lived the close proximity to the beach and the outdoor shower was a huge help. My only suggestion would be a rug or something at the bottom of the indoor stairs. The wooden stairs and the wooden floor blend together making it super easy to miss the last step. We had two adults both miss the last stair and fell. We would definitely stay here again.

This house was very run down and dirty. They left us very few towels. Everything in the kitchen had to be cleaned prior to using and the pots/pans were in terrible shape. They all need replacing.

Great for our family vacation

This is the second year we have rented 619 Dolphin for our family vacation. The house suits our family well with its spacious bedrooms and their adjoining bathrooms. Each of our 3 kids and their spouses/children are able to have their own private space. We also love the proximity to the beach-great for evening strolls. We hope to rent again next year!

Great Fripp Island house

We really enjoyed our stay and the house was in great order and had everything we needed! Plenty of space and well equipped! And we appreciated being able to rent for a long weekend. Patricia was super helpful with any questions we had and sent check-in information well in advance. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful spacious house

This home is so beautiful and spacious for our entire family with plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms to accommodate everyone. We loved the large open living room and kitchen areas. The home is in a great location and close to beach access. We enjoyed seeing deer and even a few raccoons! Patricia is a gracious host and very responsive to all of my questions. We will be looking to come back again next year!

Annual fall visit

We visit my daughter in Beaufort annually in September. This year we stayed on Fripp since I have never been there before. We thoroughly enjoyed the place and our stay. The beach is beautiful in the area! Missing the smoke detector in the upstairs master and the tv goes black after a few minutes though. Didn’t matter to us but may to the next renters.

good times but needs some polish

We had a good time staying at 619. We had several small problems but Patricia was there to help us resolve them. There are a couple of things I would ask...some outdoor seating/ tv control instructions/ the elevator was not working/ just a general sprucing up of the property. It is in a great location...easy beach access...good layout of the property...lots of kitchen implemements.

Fripp trip

Needs some refreshing. Great space and location. Owner needs to provide more accurate contact info (she had her son’s contact info in listing and he said he didn’t know why so had to go back and forth with them). Listing needs to include security entry info protocol and instructions with the guard. Not having this squared away was an unpleasant experience. Owner tries to make it better with complimentary amenity passes, but we didn’t have time to use them so no real compensation for that bad experience. Fripp Island is nice and this house can be as well with more attention to details and some basic house care.

Review of house

The refrigerator in the kitchen is a disgrace to the house. The bottom shelf is gone. I assumed broken. The refrigerator door has no brackets to keep things from falling out. The freezer in the refrigerator downstairs needs to be cleaned. Need towel bars in upstairs bathrooms. It is dated but we knew that. In order to verify who you are should text rather than email. The house has a lot of possibilities if it was maintained.

Poor communication

Pro: House was large enough to accommodate our family, house had elevator-needed for 2 disabled individuals. Cons: Poor communication from owner before stay and during stay. Elevator was repaired on day 1. Non-working toilet repaired Day 2. Non-working lights in bathroom, shower and cable repaired on day 3. Guest was misled on when repair people would be showing up which led to hours of vacation time wasted waiting for repair personnel. Many issues could have been avoided with accurate and better communication from owner. Would not recommend this house to friends or family

Good Location, Good for Group, Needs Updating

First the good. The location of the the house is very convenient to the beach and the center of the island and Olympic pool. The layout is the house is also really good for a group. This could be a great house but it needs some TLC. The house is worn, kitchen could use a good clean, and we joked that it’s BYOEverything - exactly 12 towels and nothing extra including bath mats, sleeps 12 but there aren’t 12 forks or glasses in the house, plates are all mismatched and the pots and pans look like they haven’t been replaced in years, etc. Palmetto Bugs found in house daily. Shower in the downstairs master had to be wedged with cardboard so that it would stay up at shower height. Communication with property manager was not what I’m used to for Fripp. Never responded to messages on VRBO. Was sort of rude on phone but was better on text. Only got check in details 2 days before arrival and no information on check out. Did contact plumber about the shower when I reported the problem but only followed up when I texted. Problem couldn’t be fixed because part had to be ordered. Just didn’t feel like it was worth the cost. Despite the drawbacks to the house we did have a great time at Fripp as always

Missed Potential

Beautiful home with lovely porches. Yet, the inside living room furniture definitely needs replaced. The covers on the couches were immediately removed and washed. Under them was furniture covered with material which looked like the dog had shredded it. The floors needed swept on the first floor. It was nice to find a vacuum but it did not work well and needed replaced. With the lack of cleanliness on the first floor we were grateful for clean sheets and towels. The upstairs carpet is in need of replacement but it did seem like it was swept well. The dining room table only sits 6 comfortable which was a disappointment since the house easily sleeps 12 people. No lights in the second floor master shower working at all. Many of the lights throughout the house were not consistent at working. The kitchen had many extras which were very nice to have but it lacked the basics. The number of drinking glasses was on the low side as well as having enough silverware. Overall we would not stay there again which is a shame as the house is beautiful and so much potential which not cost a fortune to correct.

Beautiful location and great home

We had a great time on Fripp Island. The property management company is on point with check in, information, suggestions and help. The house itself is gorgeous but has a lot of wear. It clearly has been a vacation rental for a while and could use a little sprucing up and styling to get it back to it's original glory. The listing needs to be updated as the amenities mention a pool but the only way you can use a pool is if all parties buy an amenities card for $50 each. That is fine in itself but without communication before booking is frustrating. We came in late March and the pools were out of season so we did not purchase the amenity cards. The majority of us had never been to Fripp island and we really enjoyed it. It is VERY quiet and was perfect for a chill stay with friends. We went for a walk on the very close marsh walk which was beautiful and surrounded by wildlife. The walk to the beach is very short and the beach itself is just as beautiful as any other coastal sc beach but much less crowded. I would definitely stay again!
