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.

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 ❤️)
