Great Stay

Overall very satisfied with this Condo, location, and closeness to the beach. This is a very quiet location. On the Patio there is a constant drip coming from the cutter system which makes sitting outside not very relaxing. The large sleeper/couch is not very comfortable for watching TV however it was doable.

A Great Birthday Getaway

We got in late in the evening and we had no issues getting on the island or getting in the unit. Everything was as advertised or better and we had a great experience at Fripp and the Beaufort area as a whole. Easy access to the beach right out the back door. Deer in the back area every night. Hosts were very friendly and communicative throughout the process. We will not hesitate to come back. Thank you!

Lovely Villa by the Sea

This lovely villa doesn’t disappoint! It is clean with well-appointed furnishings and just steps from the boardwalk to the beach. We had a minor issue and the property owner/manager contacted us within the hour and came by in person to check it out, no worries. We have stayed here multiple times, a good indicator of its appeal to return.
