We visited Fripp Island Resort for a beach and pool vacation only to find that many of the resort services were not open for the season yet! There was no pool bar or attendant (no drinks, towels) and there weren't any beach equipment available for use or rental. Two of the three dinner restaurants were closed during our stay, so... more

We stayed on Fripp in July 2006 and really had a great time. This summer we decided to go back and I contacted the lady who ownes the home we stayed in previously. We booked directly through her. It was only after we got to Fripp last week that we found out rules had changed and everyone had to have... more

Beware when renting on Fripp - the home and villa amenities vary widely. One Captain John Fripp villa we looked at was smelly, had dog hairs on the furniture, dingy white towels, unclean dishes in the cupboards, and was just plain old. The owner thought he had gold to sell and was plain rude when he realized we weren't going... more

Fripp island is a great place for a family vacation. We were at the island from July 21-July 28. We were just with our family which includes 4 kids - 11, 9, 5, and 4. The weather was great. The humidity never seemed too bad. We rented a 4 bedroom house in the Sawgrass Neighborhood (Sunshine house - nice house)... more

I am blessed that I have a relative that owns a property in Fripp Island. It's a great place for my family to go on a mini-vacation (we live in Florida). It's ideal for a family vacation or romantic getaway. The resort his huge, peaceful and relaxing. It is filled with nature perserves, palm trees, and wildlife. You will see... more

Fripp Island Golf & Beach resort is a great place for families. We started taking our kids to this SC paradise in 1975 and now our grandkids come to enjoy the beautiful beach which isn't too crowded. Often they attend Camp Fripp where they make crafts and learn about the wildlife. (if lucky they get to see turtle nests). They... more

Fripp Island Resort is a wonderful place for families. We enjoyed our week-long stay. The island is beautiful and has an abundance of wildlife (deer, turtles, and crocodiles). There is also a couple of really nice golf courses. There is not a lot of sandy "beach" area, so be careful when you book to make sure to state if you... more

Four families stayed here with us in two separate oceanview 3 room villas. For the cost, it was good. The beach was great. The pool was great. The villas were huge. Would of loved to stay longer. If I had to write something negative, it would be not really negative. This island is large enough to get lost, and the... more

My husband and I just spent a wonderful week on a quiet and beautiful island. We found our condo that was right on the ocean on VRBO[...]. It was reasonably priced with nice accomodations. Our only disappointment was that there was no beach outside our door. However, there was a pool. Being September, things were quiet. Not alot going on... more

My family and I just came back from a week at Fripp Island, our first visit. The island is a beautiful place, with very little commercial development. The island is a nature paradise with plenty of programs for both kids and adults. It is also a very small island with a small visitor population - very uncrowded. We saw some... more
