We have enjoyed the beauty of Fripp Island for many years, but this trip was enhanced with the luxuries of this rental. Accommodations were perfect and attention to detail appreciated. Joan was a perfect hostess if questions arose; home offered more than expected. This has raised the bar for future trips to the island we love to visit. We will be back!

FANTASTIC PROPERTY!!!

The home is spectacular!!! Amenities were great and it has the most well-equipped kitchen of any rental I've had! Only suggestion would be that the screen be replaced on the main level back porch and another chair or two on that porch. We loved sitting out there!!! I would absolutely rent again if we go to Fripp another time!!!
