Perfect place, close to beach walkway to beach is right there. The place is clean, cute, comfortable bed. Park right next to your unit. Had a great time. We will be back.
Our first visit to Fripp Island was great. The Patty's are gracious hosts, their condo is comfortable (great bed and wonderful shower!), is centrally located on the island, and has all we needed during our week long getaway. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio, listening to the ocean, and watching the deer grazing in the yard. On our next visit to Fripp, we'll definitely return to this condo!

Great place for my wife and I for a long weekend. Fully stocked kitchen. Very comfortable king bed. Spacious living room and large TV for netflix viewing. Amazing beach access. Amenities at nearby club were very nice. Bikes for renters use was a plus. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect location. Perfect size for a couple. So nice that every single thing we needed was provided including soap, shampoo, laundry soap, salt, sugar, etc. Love this place!
The property was clean and well-maintained. All initial supplies were present as promised. The property was comfortable and we appreciated the easy beach access as well as access to the resort's amenities. This was a perfect getaway weekend.
