All the mattresses are extremely comfortable. There are 2 full bathrooms to service the upper floor, both with tub and shower.

About Fripp Island Amenities:
Fripp Island has multiple access points to wide beaches with soft sand. There are 2 playgrounds: one is an easy walk from our house, just around the corner at Fiddler's Point. The other is on Davis Love Drive. There is a crabbing pier in the Fiddlers area and multiple fishing access points around the island. If you need last-minute items, you can access the on-island market. There is also delivery from Instacart (Publix), WalMart, and several pizza restaurants.
Club cards are required to use resort amenities. These include 5 pools (The Cabana Club/Veranda Beach "oval pool") is heated from October-November and April-May. There are 2 award-winning golf courses, a small fitness center, and tennis/pickle ball courts. Unique to Fripp is a nature/activity center with "meet-the-animal" encounters. In the summer, kids age 3-12 can sign up for a fun half-day of nature-themed activities at Camp Fripp while their parents have a little kid-free time (perhaps a visit to the Adults-Only pool ). With club cards, you can also set up kayak/paddleboard rentals, fishing charters, or participate in any of the resort's many daily activities. If you would like to take advantage of these amenities, please be sure to *order Club Cards* for all individuals age 13+ when you make your reservation.
These are just some of the many wonderful things about Fripp. We are happy to share more information with you about Fripp Island at your request.
This is a pet-free and nonsmoking home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The house accommodated our three families nicely. The only suggestion we have is that for our three families, a second refrigerator would have been very helpful.
Our family has been visiting Fripp for 20 years, this stay was just as expected and we enjoyed it!
Great house with good beds and everything you need to enjoy your Fripp time. Included golf cart is key.
Communication with owners was awesome! Property exactly as described and picture perfect. Great location on the island. Would definitely rent again.
Best home I've rented on Fripp. Truly enjoyable and everything was perfect!
We had a great stay in Fripp. The house (which has some new updates) was perfect for us. It is on a quiet cul-de-sac. Therefore, the kids were able to play outside without any worries from traffic. The staff at all of the shops, restaurants, etc, were very friendly. Homeowners were awesome!
The place was mostly clean when we arrived, but there were a few small pieces of garbage here and there around the place. Not disgusting by any means, but not perfect either. We also had to replace the battery in the keypad door lock, but it didn't prevent us from getting in, and it wasn't too hard to replace (required us contacting someone though). The place was great overall for our size group of 15 people (with 7 kids of various ages), but the kitchen was a bit small and we had to bring the porch table indoors to fit us all in the dining area. Still though, it was spacious and very nice overall. The island itself was also very nice - the pool(s) were great and the beach was pretty nearby, but neither was within walking distance away - we needed to use the golf cart (provided) and drive vehicles to get there. They were very nice still though, and the kids loved riding in the golf cart. The abundant deer and restaurants on the island were also nice. The biggest problem we had was related to the amenity cards, which are required to use the pools and restaurants on the island, but cost $50 extra per person. We requested them three times via VRBO messaging, but the cards weren't waiting for us when we arrived. I had to make numerous phone calls, send messages, and go back and forth to the office. We finally get it resolved the next day, after which we had lost a day that we could have used them. The first night there was also my birthday, but all 15 of us had to leave the island to eat since we didn't have the cards yet. Everyone felt like the $50 per person was excessively expensive, especially since we only had the cards for 2 out of the 3 days. And having to deal with that for a good while when we first arrived (on my birthday) was a nuisance. Aside from that, it was a very enjoyable and memorable stay. I would definitely recommend it, but just be aware of additional cost and the potential difficulty with the amenity cards, and make sure to get that sorted out before hand.
The property and location are really good. The golf cart was better than expected and has long-lasting battery life for moving around the island. Communication for the much-needed amenity card(s) was completely omitted from the listing. If my son had not been to Fripp Island previously we would have arrived without any notification they are needed to use the island amenities. I had to practically beg for the cards and barely received them by our day of arrival. The day we were to travel to the location I noticed the Welcome Package included the check-out details. I never received a Welcome Package until I asked for it the day we traveled and then discovered additional information needed for the trip. I had to request the amenity cards three times with specific information on how many cards we needed for age groups and for how long. I was overcharged for them with the owner promising a refund which took a while to receive.
Another great year, great house in a quiet cul de sac! Sam is a great owner and communicater!! Spacious rooms, clean, and has every thing you need!! You won’t be disappointed!!
Owner was incredibly responsive as we made a quick decision to rent Shugafoot after a covid related cancellation changed our original travel plans. Fripp is such a SC treasure. This home is on a quiet cul de sac near a majestic ibis and egret estuary—golf cart the neighborhood to scout it out. But it is a good stretch from the beach so you’ll probably be packing your car for a beach day. Pros- 4 seater Golf cart included! Huge bedrooms Wine fridge Quiet street 2 bikes 1/2 dozen beach chairs on premises Cons- Small living area and kitchen w limited dining space (says seating for 8, but only 7 chairs plus a 4 top on porch) would be hard to have a house full as there’s just not space for folks to gather. Spider issue upstairs (quick response from property manager) Needs some deep cleaning (ceiling fans, bugs in bedding —likely a room that hadn’t been used recently). But the owner was made aware and quickly responded. Could use an extra fridge in garage All said we’d rent here again if we didn’t have a full house. Previous reviews about not having starter supplies has been remedied.
