Perfect spot if you like quiet mornings, watching the dolphins but being close enough to Beaufort for all the amenities. We were there for my daughter‘s wedding so sadly, we didn’t get to enjoy the property as much as we like. But we’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful beautiful location

We had a wonderful time, the owners were absolutely wonderful, the golf carts we're great, the home is absolutely beautiful but most of all the front porch and the inside of the house view of the ocean all around just made it even more wonderful. We will most definitely be staying in this home again.

Well stocked, very clean. The home was great for two families. View of the water was a daily highlight and the wind off the water kept bugs away. Two golf carts made driving around the island very convenient. The kitchen and living area was large and didn’t feel crowded when everyone was the space. We would book this home again.

Front porch heaven

We loved our stay here! The house was stocked with everything we needed. We saw dolphins every morning from our rocking chairs on the porch. The house has very little traffic, which was really peaceful. We will definitely be back!

We appreciate your kind words! Tony & I spent 5 years looking for our dream home on the ocean. We wanted a special place where we could relax and share the ever changing beauty of the South Carolina coast with others. Higher Porpoise gives us all of that. We are so happy you and your family enjoyed your vacation! Your review tells us we are doing all the right things. Hope to see you again.

Beautiful views and great attention to detail

We just returned from a week on Fripp with our family and loved staying at this property. The owners are extremely attentive and responsive to any need or request. The house is extremely clean, the ability to use their bikes and golf carts are a great asset so we didn't have to spend a lot of time getting that set up, and the views from the home are remarkable. We were very pleased with everything.

Enjoyable Vacation and Beautiful Views!

We really enjoyed our stay on Fripp Island at the Jamison's home. The views off the front porch are amazing! The house accomadated 7 of us well and had all we needed to get to the beach, grill out or cook in the kitchen, play ping pong or video games and/or just relax. There are several beach access points easily reached by golf carts, 5-10 minute drive. The Jamison's were very hospitable and checked in with us to make sure everything was going okay. Highly recommended!
