Great house for our group!
The layout of the house was great for our group of three families of 5 adults and 5 children under the age of 10. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and dishes! Unfortunately, we could not use the beautiful gas grill because the inside was caked with grease. Fantastic proximity to the beach! It's just a very short walk across the street. House was located very close to other Fripp amenities like pools, restaurants, playground, etc.

Great place to vacation!
We had a great time on our family vacation. The house is clean and well taken care of. The older kids loved fishing off the dock on the canal and the property is off the main road enough to feel so secluded and not have to worry about the kids getting out into the road on accident. Initially, we booked the property because a golf cart was included on the listing, however after durther clarification the golf cart was damaged by previous renters and was no longer available for guests (the listing was corrected after it was beought to their attention) nonetheless, we were able to rent a golf cart and had an amazing time. My family has been coming to Fripp since atleast the 70s and we thoroughly enjoyed the house this week. Especially the Carolina room! 10/10 would recommend.

Beautiful house in great location on Fripp Island; the center of everything Fripp has to offer. There are so many positives at this house and very few negatives so I will mention my only real complaint; cleanliness of the home. Not the fault of the owners at all, rather the cleaning staff failed to adequately clean the home before our check in time and when I reached out to the owner, she immediately responded and had the cleaning staff return to complete the basics they had not done. After that, all was great!! The house has plenty of room for everyone, the beds are comfortable, the location is awesome, the kitchen is well stocked with good pots/pans/knives and appliances, the additional fridge on the sunroom was great for drinks, etc. My husband, daughter and nephew all enjoyed the crabbing dock every single day while my other daughter and nephew and I enjoyed the beach and the pools everyday! My mother-in-law enjoyed relaxing and reading in the sunroom most of all. We spent most of our time while in the house in the sunroom. Such a great space and all the beautiful deer and birds are amazing to watch and they are so friendly they come right up to you! We got several great pics! Overall great vacation in a great house. I would prefer to have had the amenity cards and the golf cart included but nonetheless it was all well worth it!!

Wonderful family retreat
The only rental we've found on Fripp that we can't wait to return to again! Perfect for our family! Great location. Private. And the Carolina room was the perfect gathering place for our family. The TV wasn't on a single time the entire week! The only critique was that 2 of the showers were EXTREMELY tiny. Great place to enjoy family time!

House is great and a FANTASTIC location!!!! “Resort” on Island was disappointing
The house was just as described and accommodated our group of 11 very well. I was worried it would feel very small with 7 kids ages 11-18 but it gelt very open and spacious with the vaulted ceilings and back porch. The location in the center of the island was ideal with beach access right across the street. We purchased resort passes to be able to use the shops, restaurants and pools. While I realize this is not the fault of the VRBO owners, I feel I need to warn others to do your research before blindly buying amenity cards. We were quite disappointed with the resort. Only one restaurant opened after 5:30pm. The food court and main shop is closed. It’s early April and weather fluctuates. There are two heated pools on the island, one of which is adult only. The other pool was closed for a wedding 2 out of 4 days we were staying on the island. We had a college visit another day, so, essentially ended up paying $350 to use the pool for only one day. Also disappointed the resort does not have a single hot tub on the island. Again, not the fault of the VRBO owners but advise doing your own research on resort, especially families with kids. There’s only so much together-time my kids can tolerate at the house and beach before they get restless and need to get out somewhere. The island is beautiful and VRBO is ideal location. My only VRBO critique would be that the downstairs bathroom showers could use some work to really make the house 5-stars.

Fripp was fabulous
Sea glass was wonderful. Plenty of room for our family of nine. Fully equipped. Everything we needed was there. We really enjoyed watching all the deer. The two downstairs bathrooms could use a little upgrading, but they were fully functional as is. You would not go wrong with this house.
