Property was nice but host was terrible
Host does not answer messages thru VRBO. VRBO tried to call and message to no response. Wanted to get code to check in before I departed. No luck

Best House On Fripp
My sisters and I stayed here and were so impressed by this house! We have been staying on Fripp for years and have stayed at many different houses but this one was our favorite. The house matched the pictures perfectly and was very clean. I was a little nervous at first bc I have never used this website but the property manager was awesome. They had answered every question I had and very fast. We will definitely be staying here again next year!

Great get away
We enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and updated. The deer on the island are something special to see. The property does not come with an amenity pass to eat or do any activities on the island. It would have been nice to know before hand. Otherwise, we would definitely stay again.

Wonderful place to stay
This house was absolutely beautiful and so clean! All throughout the house you could see that it was designed to meet every need. Our family absolutely loved it. It most certainly felt like a home away from home.

Just right for us
Our family of 4 had a great stay on Fripp. The house was clean, easy to check in, and easy to check out. The pool was a great bonus, but we also spent lots of time at the beach and catching fish from the pier.

My husband and I enjoyed our short getaway here with our 2 grandkids. Beautiful minimalist home that provided all of the necessities. Kids enjoyed the pool, cruising around in the evening counting deer and boogie boarding (of course ❤️)

Outstanding getaway
There were 5 of us including a 3-year-old and we stayed for 3 nights. The location is great. The whole Flipp island is a gated community where you need to be careful with is alligators. However, be mind of arranging an arrival time with the host beforehand if you arrive rarlier than 4 pm. Otherwise, you will not be able to get the permit and pass the gate. The property is spacious and can fit 4 adults and 1-2 kids with no issues. There is a lot of sunlight in the house and it is easy to get a breeze by opening windows. The patios is wide and has a table for 4 persons. Kitchen has all the tools to cook proficient dishes and bake. However, the closest grocery stores are overpriced, so I would recommend buying food in Beauford. The state park is just 10 mins away and has beautiful and easy hikes. However, be aware of tickes there - we had to clean quite a few of them. The host provides an electic golf car that is very useful and quite way of transportation. The mattress is comfortable and of a medium firmness. It is very quite at night and I had the best dream ever there. The beach is clean and wide

Perfect!
What started out as a weekend getaway with my wife, turned into a last minute family getaway. Our plan to leave the kids with family fell through so they came with us. This property was perfect for the four of us. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. Very clean and bright. Had a cozy, home away from home feel to it. Not the cheesy beach house vibe you typically get. The included golf cart was nice, it made traveling around the island easy. Lisette, our host, was awesome. She was quick to answer any questions we had. We love Fripp, it’s our go to South Carolina get a way and this property made it even more enjoyable. We are already making plans to book again!
