I have been visiting Fripp Island since the late 1970's with my family. I have since continued that tradition by bringing my family and now my grandchildren. We appreciate the great family ambiance Fripp has to offer. We savor all of that Fripp has it to offer for all ages.  It is spectacular how calming it is riding around the island in a golf cart. If you visit, you will appreciate it too.

When this unit came on the market in early 2022, we decided to make the purchase.  We have been renters of this villa for many, many years!  We adore the location for  the painless beach access and having the pool right outside the door.

We have made some updates to the unit, we hope you enjoy them-- 3 new Intelligent TVS, new couches,  and window treatments.
