You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best Location on Island - 314 Captain John Fripp

The guest who books the reservation must be 25 years or older and must be present for the length of the stay in the property.
 
Completely remodeled, our commitment is to make your stay the most pleasant possible and to have you return again. Our home is located just steps to a private pool for our villas only, and the Atlantic ocean. The location to the beach is the best on the island.
 
Our villa has two bedrooms with private baths, and one full bath downstairs. Most villas the bedrooms have to share a bathroom. One bedroom has a king bed and flat screen tv. The other bedroom has a queen bed, a twin bed and flat screen tv.  Downstairs is a full size sleeper sofa and love seat, washer and dryer, and fully equipped kitchen. Wifi is included. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans.  All linens and bath towels are provided.  
 
Cook dinner on the weber grill over looking the private pool area keeping a close eye on your children swimming.  The sun sets behind the unit so as you enjoy a cocktail on the patio, you are not getting the afternoon heat.  
 
A short drive to Beaufort will lead to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
Multi-week and longer term rates negotiable.

Guest cards are available for an additional charge giving renters full access to all Fripp Island facilities.   There are two 18 hole golf courses (discount green fees), Olympic-size pool, adult pool with beach bar, Cabana Club lagoon, and ten court tennis club (court fees apply), fitness center, bike rentals and several restaurants. Through the marina you can rent a kayak, SUP, or book a dolphin watch cruise.  Cards cost $50 per person per week Memorial Day through Labor Day and $35 per person per week the rest of the year.  Children 13 and up must have their own card.  In order to go to the Island restaurants all members of the party must have a guest card unless under 13.

The villa is on the central part of the island steps from the best beach and the pool.  The adult pool, another kid pool, beach club, food court, and sports bar are all a very short walk.

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 love the great family atmosphere Fripp has to offer. We enjoy all of that Fripp has it to offer for all ages.  It is amazing how relaxing it is riding around the island in a golf cart. If you visit, you will love 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 love the location for  the easy 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 Smart TVS, new couches,  and window treatments.

Great location with access to pool & beach, but filthy unit.
We are likely to stay at John Fripp villas again because of the convenience of pool & beach access and proximity to all that Fripp has to offer - restaurants, pools, etc., but in a different villa as this one was filthy. This was the dirtiest VRBO I've ever experienced and was charged for cleaning fee after the stay even though we cleaned the unit ourselves. I would recommend as the property owner was responsive, but be aware of the filth.

We were so impressed with this property! The bathrooms and kitchen were recently renovated and we had a lot of fun! The property managers were easy to communicate with when we had an issue. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking. My only suggestion would be to bring padding for the kitchen table chairs if you plan to spend any time at it. We play a lot of games and the chairs were a bit uncomfortable if using them for a longer period of time, but that was the only issue. Again, the property was fantastic and I will probably book again in the future!

Just Ok
The interior is dated and the furniture has old faded covers. The beds are very uncomfortable. The AC unit was blowing very wet air and there was mold around the returns. Pest control was working but lots of dead bugs inside. Host was very responsive and informative leading up to our stay and the golf cart was great. Property is just old and dated. Fine if you are not going to be hanging out inside for any length of time.

We had a wonderful time in Fripp. The property and owner were excellent. Having the pool right out of our back door was great for the kids. We will definitely come back!

Property has everything you need. Steps to the beach and in the center of everything. Has its own pool which is key because island pools don’t open until 4/1. Club passes not worth purchasing until after 4/1 at the earliest.

First time to Fripp Island and we will return. Property was great. Perfect access to beach and pools. Quiet and friendly neighbors. And the friendly deer were a fun bonus.
