Our stay in this house was amazing! Right on the beach! House was immaculate. We spent many hours sitting on the screened in porch watching the birds, dolphins and the sun set! A definite place to come back too!

We've been going to Fripp every year since our youngest was 7 months old. Now he's 12. Staying in a house on the beach at the western side of the island is the best. Once you stay there it's hard going back to the Ocean Views or Marsh Views. We had to deal with Tropical Storm Debbie for three of the 6 days, but it was still worth it. This house is impressively presented to guests. It's easy to tell that Natural Retreats puts lots of care into this property. The price is good, too, considering the price of nearby homes on the beach. No golf cart or club passes, but that's ok.

Our trip was great except the restaurants on Fripp Island require a membership to eat in the restaurant or to take food out!
Seems prejudice to me!!!

This house was perfect for us. We liked the split bedroom plan and the two masters. The screened in porch was an added bonus with our smallest family members. And Fripp is perfect for young children. Not too many waves. We all had a great time.

Great house!
Cannot beat the location of this house on Fripp for a quiet, adventure-filled stay. Our kids loved playing in the tide pools at low tide. The family loved swimming to and exploring Prichard’s Island. At high tide, plenty of waves to play in too. The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. We would love to come back!

Luxury Rental
From the moment we pulled up to Pelican Watch, we were blown away. Beautiful landscaping. Fresh paint. Thoughtful decor. Updated kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. *Incredibly* clean. Our family of six (kids 7, 6, 4, and 3) had everything we needed, from a huge fridge to melamine plates, safe and shady screened porch with hook lock doors, pristine linens and quality mattresses, beautiful bathrooms with storage, and even a tub for the littles. The beach was basically arms length away- such a short walk, and no shoes needed thanks to great upkeep! The tide pools were endless on this end of the island, and the kids soaked in the shallow water and chased minnows throughout low tide. Sunrise and sunset were incredible. This trip was a family favorite. We can’t wait to come back!

Great location and stunning views
We loved the very short walk to get on the beach and the stunning views from the indoor and outdoor porches. Being at the end of the island was very nice too and the traffic and crowds were minimal. Definitely a great place to stay.

It doesn't get any better! Ocean out the back door. Beautiful marsh views from the front. This home was very comfortable with everything you might need for a great stay. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook for a lot of people. They have books to read, games to play, sand toys for the beach. I would love to stay here again!

Beautiful Home - Perfect Location!
8 women who have been friends for a long time - perfectly appointed kitchen, great bedrooms and bathrooms - very clean; beautifully decorated ..... BUT THE VIEW! You feel like you are IN the ocean - lovely lovely lovely - cant say enough! Great location for privacy - like we had the beach to ourselves. Nature abounds - sea life, deer, birds - truly a paradise vacation at the SC coast!

Fantastic, clean property - right on the water
We have been coming to Fripp for more than 30 years but this was our first time staying on this end of the island, which we deliberately chose based on the way the beach has eroded / shifted over time. We were very pleased with the decision and the direct beach access from the house. At high tide there was hardly any beach but it was great to hear and see the ocean. At low tide, there was amble beach for our family to run around, and it felt very private and secluded compared to the more crowded end of the island.
The house was well maintained and very clean. Great layout for families.
Another reviewer previously mentioned two issues to be aware of for families with young kids which I would also flag: the front door handles (facing the street) are easily accessible to toddlers, and there is no manual deadbolt or way to secure the doors, which created a safety issue. Not a deal-breaker, just required some extra vigilance or putting a chair in front of the doors. Also there are lots of delicate trinkets on the shelves . . . again, not a problem (and really lovely decorations) but something that needed to be watched throughout the stay even with a relatively calm toddler.
The property management team was very responsive and efficient both before and during the stay when we had one question. Overall extremely pleased and would definitely book again for a return visit to Fripp.

Wonderful getaway!
This is an awesome property, great space for 4 adults and a 2 year old with room to spare. House was extremely clean, very short trip to beach and ocean views from most of the rooms too. Really a beautiful area. The house is in a quiet area of the island. If you’re looking for a lot to do other than beach and outdoors, probably not a good place for you. We were looking for a quiet beach getaway and couldn’t have asked for more. For those visiting, eating out in restaurants is not convenient! Deli at entrance to island had good options for quick food and lots of grocery needs, didn’t eat from the restaurant there. Johnson Creek Tavern is 10-15 minutes away from the home and food was excellent.
The layout of the home felt very child friendly, except our 2 yr old could open door handles to front porch. Screened porch was super nice to let him roam some though. There are lots of breakable trinkets that had to be moved to make it child proof but otherwise perfect! No stairs inside to worry about and rental company provided a pack and play.
Over all a fantastic vacation and would highly recommend.

great!
Wish we had an amenity card to play golf but the owners were quite clear that this was not provided so only our fault. Beach was pristine and the home was perfect!!

PERFECT HOUSE AND LOCATION!
8 Mom-friends found this to be the perfect gettaway! Views from inside and out are breathtaking with the waves converging from all directions! House was immaculate, comfy, beautifully decorated, plenty of perfect seating inside and out...The kitchen had everything we needed and the ice machine was a wonderful bonus! Loved the option of outdoor shower. Nature abounded! Deer everywhere... we saw dolphins several times a day...and a very small shark jumping and feeding in the early evening...plus we saved an octopus that had come up too far on the rocks as the tide went out...We re-booked for next year within a week of returning!!
