Fripp Island is an exceptional place; from the minute you drive across the bridge into this gated community, you will exhale and enjoy the slower pace and nature surrounding you. Pier Fishing, crabbing, bike riding, and walking the beach at sunrise and sunset are just a few of the things you will be able to experience on Fripp Island, SC.

The home is delightful with a 150-degree view of the marsh, where egrets nest in the marsh grasses and soars overhead in the blue sky, where deer roam in the yard, and where you will see the most beautiful sunsets from the back deck.
Decorated in a delightful color scheme, it is an extension of nature's beauty and a peaceful setting right outside the door that will take your breath away.

Our stay was extremely enjoyable. Fripp island is a gorgeous place, and this home was a treat to stay in. The house is a bit older, but it adds to the charm of the island. Our family had a wonderful time. Would definitely vacation here again.
Our family loved staying here. Wonderful location and plenty of activities for the whole family. It was our first time on Fripp and we cant wait to come back.
The house was perfect for myself and my children. Great location. Lovely house. We had a prefect week. Great communication with the host. I had never been to Fripp, she was very helpful
We loved this place! Maybe our favorite place that we have stayed at Fripp! It is a very spacious treehouse...very comfortable and beautiful. It is very well equipped. Loved the marsh views and the sunsets. Will definitely stay here again if possible!
Great location! You can tell this is a well-loved property, and the views can’t be beat. The host provided clear, detailed instructions and was very accommodating — even letting us check out later than planned. There are plenty of board games, which was a nice bonus since it rained a lot during our stay. Crabbing dock is near and great for crabbing or maybe some lightweight fishing. A few things to note: I’d recommend bringing your own pillow for comfort. When we arrived, the refrigerator breaker had tripped long before our stay, so it took about 48 hours to get back to temperature. Luckily, there are two mini fridges downstairs, and the host was responsive and refunded us for the inconvenience. The linens and sheets were clean, but since the house hadn’t been occupied in a while, there were some small dead bugs on the windowsills, showers, and counters. Also, be sure to leave extra time before checkout to clean up as instructed — there’s no trash pickup, so guests are responsible for hauling it out.
We had the best time, the house was very nice and worked well for our family! We checked in very easily, and found the house quickly. We enjoyed the upstairs deck the most! We sat out there most of the stay! we even have a few raccoon friends come up the deck with us. We had minor issues, but communication with the host was excellent on getting issues correct. The only cons I have is it took a while for the top story to cool down, and would heat back up very quickly but with how hot it was outside we figured that would happen. Also, not having on island trash, it took away from the trip having to drive to the waste center, but that wouldn’t stop me from booking again! We can’t wait to hopefully book this location again next summer. The house is simply beautiful and the views outside are stunning, and I don’t believe we saw one bug outside the entire stay.
This was a fantastic house during the 4th of July! You could see the fireworks right from the back porch perfectly. The house was well-appointed and fit our family perfectly - with the extra kitchen and living space downstairs on the first level. Watch out for the raccoons living in the tree holes…they were feisty and come up to visit us on the patio frequently during the morning and while we were packing up to leave!
Our stay was wonderful. We spent the majority of the time relaxing on the large porch that overlooks the tidal marsh. The wildlife is up close and personal here. For the adventurous, high tide provides the best opportunity for kayaking. The house was clean and very comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We will love to visit again!
Wonderful view of marsh! Quite area on the island. Plenty of room! Would recommend blinds or shades in upstairs bedroom on the right.
Some would like a TV in sitting room upstairs other guest like not having a TV.
Fripp island is beautiful. An abundance of wild life including cute little deer roaming the island. We rented a golf cart and the teen girls enjoyed driving us to and from the beach. The sounds of the marsh were right out of a movie. We enjoyed reading books on the deck and listening in the mornings and evenings. The house was well equipped with everything you need to cook or make coffee with. If a teenager tells you it’s one of their favorite vacations they’ve been on thats saying something!
The house was nice but NO TV which really disappointed some of the guests. It was not stated in the listing. A lot was required upon arrival and departure-Turning on/off water on the outside of the house, heat/cool regulations, all dishes cleaned and put away, and a few others.

Looks can be deceiving
We had reservations for 6 nights but only stayed 1. The air conditioner/electricity was not working on the first floor so we could not use any of this space . There were no exterior lights working which was a huge safety issue for us to deal with. We also could not charge our electric golf cart due to the electrical problems. The air conditioner vents were leaking so bad in the kitchen and master bedroom (there was a huge piece of plywood covering a hole adjacent to the ac vent and water stains all over the ceiling) that I had to put bowls under them to keep from walking in water. When I took a shower there was 6 inches of water in the tub due to a clogged drain. The dryer was not operating properly and the towels were damp and soured. The deck outside the master bedroom was covered with an inch of pine straw. The furniture upholstery was stained and had holes worn in places. The refrigerator was very dirty. I contacted the property owner and she had a housekeeper come and clean the refrigerator and had an electrician there within 90 minutes, he made several attempts to reset the breakers, he left and said he would return later to install new breakers. I talked to the property owner and told her we just could not deal with the other issues and she said she completely understood and would refund my money. However she did not refund all my money as promised.
I am very disappointed, these issues ruined our family vacation.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was perfect for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed. The living room and dining room was so open and bright!!
Fabulous way to experience Fripp Island! My family celebrated my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary in this spacious, cozy and fully stocked home. We ‘ve been coming for years, and this view has to be the best so far!

Relaxing
We had a good time at Fripp. It was very relaxing. Our house did not have amenity cards so we could not use anything which was disappointing. The golf cart that we rented was gas and we did not like that. The home was very accommodating for 2 families, however it needs to be updated. The air conditioner leaked from the roof and leaked on one of the beds. The ceiling was peeling.
Property was just as described, with 3 large bedrooms and 3 full baths, two very comfortable living spaces, and two kitchens, one upper and one lower! Perfect for two families to enjoy together or separately. Great room inside, bedrooms, and upper deck outside had spectacular views of the Marsh! Kitchen was fully equipped too! Many thanks for letting us enjoy your home!

Great Escape!
Our family's first time at the Octagonal Tree House. Nancy the owner was prompt in responding, friendly and a gracious host. The house is in a good location, clean, very relaxing. If this house doesn't have the best view over the marsh I would be shocked. My family and I still miss the view a month later. The location of the house is in a great location on a narrow finger peninsula extending into the marsh away from the main thoroughfare of the island so there wasn't a lot of traffic out in front of the house which was awesome, yet still within walking, biking or golf cart distance to everywhere on the island. Very pleased with our stay.

A Home Away From Home
Our family has been visiting Hurley Haven annually since 2005, and we will continue to do so. Tastefully decorated in a relaxing beach theme, the house features all the amenities you will need to settle in and enjoy the benefits of "home away from home" while experiencing the allure of ocean living. The beauty of this house is rivaled only by the setting in which it is located. You will be enthralled by early morning sunrise and late evening sunsets viewed from the comfort of the large, back deck or the window-lined living room overlooking the island marsh. The inclusion of on-site bicycles and kayaks is a wonderful convenience providing hours of enjoyment for young and old alike. Located just a few, short miles from the oceanfront, the seclusion of this property invites you to rest and solitude, while still giving ample opportunity to enjoy the fun of beach life. If you're searching for a place to relax and refresh, look no further. Hurley Haven is perfect in every way!
