Great location for our event PTP. We had plenty of room for the 5 friends and liked the fact that it was on the ground flour. Perfect for what we needed.
Beautifully remodeled unit with easy access to beach!
We have stayed in the John Fripp Villas multiple times, and this by far is the nicest unit we have visited. The three full bathrooms were a huge plus for us as we had 4 teenagers with us. Location was perfect with easy access to the beach for my favorite sunrise walks. Very much enjoyed our stay at this location!

Fantastic location, Clean and updated. I think this is the best unit in phase one!
We have stayed in this unit for the lats 3 years and it keeps getting better. This year new flooring. the owners do a wonderful job keeping it fresh.
Our family of six stayed here, and loved it! This is our third rental at the Captain John Fripp Villas, and by far our favorite. Everything has been beautifully updated, and the extra bathroom upstairs was a bonus! The proximity to the beach and the pool can’t be beat! Also, the golf cart was so fast - our kids loved zooming around the island with us. We loved hosting family dinners here and swinging on the porch swing 😊
Don’t look any further, book this one!

Thanks for the kind words, Cindy. We believe it's a pretty amazing unit as well. So glad you all had such a great time on the island, and in our villa. We hope to host you again soon! Kathy and Joe
Condo was very well appointed and very comfortable (Great mattress!). It's a corner unit so you have a good view of the dunes/ocean and easy access to the beach walkway. It's also right next to the "Greens" which is a green area w picnic tables/food trucks and a well appointed snack stand and pools BUT you have to have the Resort Amenity card to use it (and other restaurants on Fripp). Great location. Highly recommend golf cart to get around.
The unit was comfortable and clean. It is about time for a few updates though, i.e. couch and love seat needs either a good cleaning or new covers.

Hi Carol,
We were so sorry to hear that you found the couches needed to be cleaned Guessing we had some renters this Fall that were not kind to the furniture. Since this review, we've had all of the furniture cleaned in the unit(3rd time in a year!). Thank you for letting us know about the issue so it could be taken care of. We hope to be able to welcome you back to our wonderful island in the future!
Loved the location of the property, the private patio as compared to the rest of the complex is very nice. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, washer and dryer a huge plus. Sheets, mattress pads and towels need to upgraded immediately, there were only two decent washcloths, the rest were literally rags. No biggie for us as we drove in and brought extras, which we left as a parting gift because we had such a great time in this very comfortable condo. Would definately stay again and the owner Joe was so very kind.
This place is SO cool! Wonderful "little" place...but not so little. Has 3 FULL bathrooms. One on the first floor, and two on the second. You can see the ocean from the master bedroom balcony. You have two balconies and a back patio, just feet from the boardwalk to the beach! All the rooms had TVs with cable and the place is not only big enough for a family of 4, it was big enough to host dinner for 12 people...with room to spare! Also, note it may not say it in the description, but there is also a washer and dryer in the place. The beds were very comfortable too. Was like living at home...and the modern bathroom showers in each of the 2nd floor bathrooms are really nice. The included golf cart is perfect. The power to charge is conveniently placed right in the reserved parking spot. I would recommend only using the reserved spot for the golf cart. You dont need your automobile at all during your stay. I recommend parking it in one of the spots listed "300/400" and leaving it for your stay. All you need is the golf cart when you are on the island. You will need your car only if you want to go off the island for a Walmart trip or dinner off the island. Also, Joe is the most responsive host I have every had. I dont think my calls ever went to voicemail. He is always there to help and a really nice guy. We will 100% rent this place when we return to Fripp. Right on the beach, a private pool, and literally right next to the island ice cream shop, an adult pool and the place where you get your amenities cards. Best place to chill at the beach! Highly recommend!! Thank you Joe!
We loved everything about this villa - very clean and comfortable. Mr. Tonini was excellent in responding to my questions. The patio, swing, yard, and pool were excellent to have right there for the kids - and best of all the best stretch of Fripp beach was basically right off our backyard! We would return here again and again - just one warning that I didn’t see mentioned in other reviews - it is directly beside the Ocean Club (which is nice for getting ice cream), but on weekend nights the music was very loud - mostly in the kids room - the master wasn’t too bad. This didn’t hurt our time - thankfully the owner had thoughtfully left a nice sound machine in that room, and the kids slept through it. We had three or four nights with very loud music/partying, but they usually wrapped it up around 10. The only night it interfered with my husbands sleep was our last night (Friday night) they went until midnight. So just throwing that out there for families that may have sleeping issues or issues with loud sounds. Everything else about the villa itself and the location was terrific! Also the neighbors feed the deer so they are veeerrry friendly - which my kids loved even though we tried to abide by the no feeding rules.
We had a terrific time. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!
This was our first trip to Fripp Island, and we will definitely be back! The condo is in a great location, beautiful courtyard and easy access to the beach. The owner was very responsive to messages and answered all of my questions--overall a great experience!
Beautiful villa. The owner was very helpful. The cleaning company was behind an hour for our check-in process (there could of been many reasons why but that was disappointing.
This location was absolutely perfect for our family. We could walk out the back door and straight to the beach. The view from the master bedroom is amazing! Joe was responsive when needed and resolved a minor hiccup quickly. We will be back!

Not very relaxing
Property was not quite as nice as we expected. Upstairs could use new floors and definitely new towels everywhere, including kitchen. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired— lots of dirt under furniture.
Supposed to start laundry but we had to buy soap to do it. Had workmen on property every single day, sometimes very noisy and disturbing, sawing and hammering, but they were very nice and polite.
Love Fripp Island and Joe , property owner Joe was very nice, but disappointed in condo experience overall.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. We have addressed all concerns with housekeeping, and they were resolved immediately. As you were aware, the updates to the CJFV complex were unfortunately delayed due to supply demand. (Darn Covid). We hope that our quick response and added days to your visit helped to make your island getaway a bit less disappointing. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back again for an improved experience.
We love staying in these villas. This unit in particular makes it even better. Quick access to the beach, the pool, beach club, etc. Unit is in great shape and we love the 2 bathrooms upstairs in addition to the downstairs one. Contactless check in is a huge plus especially during these times. Would happily rent here again!
The location was prefect. It was close to the beach and pool, but still provided privacy. Very convenient with young children. The unit was clean, up to date, and everything was in working order. The owner was super nice and quick to answer any questions.
We choose Fripp Island as our yearly beach trip destination. CJF Villas never disappoint and have the best beach access. Upon arrival we had difficulty with push button door lock. Notified property manager and owner called back within 5 mins and issued was quickly resolved. This was not a major issue and mentioned only b/c the situation was immediately handled. Hurricane Isaias was an island concern during our stay. Tonini (owner) updated us with current info prior to arrival and continued to check in frequently via email and text. Property is well maintained and has all needed essential items.
Our family had a great vacation at Fripp this year! We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. It's very nicely decorated and updated, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find the unit has 3 full bathrooms! I must have overlooked that in the description. We experienced a couple of unseasonably cool days, and we were happy to find multiple games in the unit, which helped keep the kids entertained. The close proximity to the beach made it a breeze to get back and forth to the condo with our kids, and the small CJF pool was not far from our back patio. We took advantage of cooking out on the charcoal grill several times while the kids swam in the pool, and we grabbed ice cream often at the nearby food court. We loved cruising the island on the golf cart and visiting the other pools, crabbing, and just general site seeing. We enjoyed working with Joe, the owner, as well. He was very helpful in answering our questions, especially when we had concerns about COVID restrictions and our company's travel policy. During our visit, Joe was very quick to respond if we had any questions. I highly recommend booking this unit for a wonderful Fripp vacation!
Comfortable and affordable villa with everything you need
We enjoyed our stay at this villa. It was centrally located on the island with easy access to the beach. The beds and living room were very comfortable, it was quiet and having access to the golf cart was really nice. The island is a great place if you want quiet and a beautiful beach.
We booked a last minute trip and everything was better than expected. The villa is beautifully decorated, the 3rd bathroom is so convenient, and the location could NOT be better. We can’t wait to stay here again!
