Fripp Island Condo Overlookig the Ocean!

Wonderful views, excellent communication with property owner, clean, plenty of room for our group of 5. Would definitely consider staying again.

This is a spacious condo. It has everything you need for your stay. Very comfortable. The owners are very sweet. Fripp Island is beautiful.

The rental unit itself was very comfortable for a group of six. The kitchen is very well stocked. Lots of space, stunning views, and little touches like VHS tapes, DVDs, and games. Communication with the owners was a bit of a challenge. They absolutely refused to communicate online, insisting instead to speak by phone. With two kids and a full time job, a 45-minute phone call was not exactly my preferred method of communication. Everything we discussed could have easily been handled through VRBO messaging. Also, understand what Fripp Island is. Fripp is a private development that has changed ownership seven times since it was originally built in the 60's. It was supposed to compete with the likes of Hilton Head and other more desirable beach locations in the area, but it never became that. So, to recoup their losses, the developers nickel and dime residents and visitors with fees to access pools, restaurants, and bars. The fees are, of course, in addition to whatever money you spend at these places, which I would advise against anyway. The food options are very mediocre. The nearest restaurants of any real quality are about a 20-minute drive back towards Beaufort.Overall, the unit is great. The owners are nice, but communication is a struggle. The beach is stunning. And Fripp Island is basically one big underperforming country club and an HOA from hell with wealthy retired residents patrolling their little fiefdoms telling people what they're doing wrong. Very stuffy.

Great trip!

Host called two hours before arriving that the garage was being worked on and they had to move his golf cart so he wanted to tell me where to find itGot to the condo after 3pm. It was not work they were doing it was CONSTRUCTION Jackhammers and a saw that cuts into cement is not work it’s construction big difference So loud in the condo so contacted host to ask if this was going to go on our whole stay. He called back and said yes from 8am to 5pmAt that time he should of offered our money back but instead his wife told us during that time 8am till 5 pm go sightseeing, ride the golf cart around the island or go to the beachSo nine hours we can not be in the condo because of the noiseNo sleeping in and no relaxing Then we went to eat and found out that we needed a card to eat on the island I was told it was only to swim, tennis, golfNot to eatContacted host and he would get them for us but would not get till the next daySo we had to leave the island to go eat. Restaurants were either closed or booked with almost a two hour wait. Took hours to find something. Keep in mind I had my 11 year old grandson with us Next day, my daughter’s birthday, we had to go off the island to eat again Got back go to the golf cart and it’s barely charged and has a flat tire Lady told us we could go to the golf cart rental place and they could helpThe golf cart died on the way there Contacted hostThis is all I could write. Out of space. Never got better checked out a day early

We loved this property, great location, very well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds. The only improvement might have been a carpet shampoo or replacement.

We have been staying on Fripp Island for over 30 years. We have stayed in all types of different locations on the island. This condo had magnificent views of the sunrise and ocean. Still close enough to a pool and the beach and we loved the use of the golf cart. There are stairs to get in and out of the condo, not a problem for us, but should be kept in mind for anyone who can’t do stairs. The owners were very gracious, and we enjoyed our stay.

We have been going as a family for several years, always staying at New Haven. This year was by far the very best. We enjoyed the condo, you literally need only to pack a bag.

Beautiful condo and island. View is amazing. We watched dolphin most days from the balcony. Granddaughter enjoyed the pools, beach, tidal pools and seeing the deer and animals at Nature Center. We took a tour out to an island one day for shelling. Most enjoyable beach stay.

Loved the Condo- great ocean views. Loved watching the dolphins from the balcony. Great location. Golf cart is exceptional. Owner was very helpful and informative. Will definitely rent again.
