Beautiful home, great location. Awesome views!
10.0 / 10.0
This house was perfect for a last little trip before school starting. I loved the pond views, where there was a lot of bird activity all the time. The house was well appointed, beds very comfortable, and exactly as described. We had quick responses to messages, highly recommend!

This was our first time on Fripp Island and we fell in love with the location of this house in a private neighborhood. Very spacious and open, well stocked kitchen, amazing views on the porch where we watched deer and alligators and wildlife. Having the golf cart and bikes were so helpful! Our adult children enjoyed the upstairs space, and the beds were comfortable and 3 bathrooms was a plus for us. The only downer was that the generator they were using to control the lake water level was very loud and distracting. So after the first day once they started with the pump we couldn’t use the screened in porch anymore. We hope to be back next summer and appreciated the amenities and enjoyed our stay.

Fripp Island at its best! Secluced setting surrounded by water on three sides in a private neighborhood. The house is thoughtfully furnished. You only need to unpack and you're ready to go.

We loved this property, and I really liked how it was tucked out of the way. The views of the water from many of the windows was a pleasant surprise, and the gators were fun to watch throughout the day. The house was a great size for our family of 4 +1 friend. We also enjoyed having our dog there as well. She enjoyed the deer and gators too! We would stay here again.

We absolutely loved the house! We had 4 adults, a toddler, and our dachshund this trip. We each had plenty of room to spread out, and we loved the open concept of the floor plan. We gravitated to the living room near the amazing windows that overlooked the lagoon.
The golf cart made navigating the island a breeze. Loved that it was already there and included in the listing.
We made lots of great memories in this house, and we look forward to future stays!

We have been staying at this house for years - it is a perfect place to unwind! The dogs love laying on the porch and going for rides in the golf cart. We have had issues with fleas at other houses that allow pets - but not here! Always clean and well stocked, it is our go to beach trip. Can't wait to go back!

We had such a great time watching all of the amazing wildlife out of our windows!! This home was a great set up for us and the golf cart was great. The host was responsive to all of our questions and on top of everything!! Would love to stay again!

My husband, bro & sis-n-law stayed here April 23-30. What a fantastic stay! They stayed in upstairs suite since they could control a/c separate from downstairs. Total privacy for all! We are some pretty serious cooks and the kitchen was really perfect. Lots of everything plus stuff left by others. Golf cart was appreciated letting us do lookie-see trips around the island. We all fell in love with alligators and singing birds outside the deck.
I would suggest to future people who love to cook…do your shopping in Savannah. The Publix store in Beaufort (?) was a sore disappointment. On the other hand, everyone LOVED the shrimp from Gay’s Fish Company. Strawberries were beyond delicious from local farmer markets!
Would we do a return trip? YES!

This was our first time at Fripp. The owner had great communication and the property was better than advertised. Beautiful views and plenty of space. Golf cart was convenient for getting around the island.

This property is located in a wonderful area on a small pond. We enjoyed seeing the alligators and all of the birds. The neighborhood pool also is a plus. We did have several hiccups during our stay. Initially, there is not a gas grill as listed. It is a charcoal grill. We did not bring charcoal and lighter fluid but the property management company promptly responded and provided those items. The house does not have hot pads or oven mitts--not a big deal, but we recommend that those items be added.
Our biggest issue was the cooktop--it worked on our first night, but quit working on Friday morning. We made do on Friday night and have leftovers both on Friday and Saturday, but were disappointed as we all are cooks and had brought fresh seafood, pasta and produce. We contacted the property management company on Friday evening, but did not receive a response to the stove issue until lunchtime on Saturday. It was unable to be repaired while we were there and, while the property management company gave us the code to another property so we could use their kitchen, we were not able to access that property, resulting in eating leftovers for a second night.
We did not specifically request a refund, but we were given a $300 refund, which was a nice gesture that we appreciate.
Overall, this is a great property and we certainly will consider returning based on the location and assuming that the stove issue is rectified.

The house was wonderful. Location perfect.
The private pool was a great addition to all of the amenities available on Fripp.
Kathy, the managing agent was so caring. Answered every question and resolved an issue immediately.
After a 4 year absence this stay made us realize how much we missed and love Fripp Island.

Our family had a fantastic time at this beautiful home. The house is perfect, great location, and in beautiful condition. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with dishes, and glassware. We had beautiful views of wildlife every day, and loved having a neighborhood pool, as the resort pools were very crowded. We would definitely love to come back again.

Thanks for sharing your amazing home with us. It is located on the back side of Deer Lake Community away from the main street noise. It is in a quiet, secluded location. The house has an open floor plan with comfortable furnishings and an amazing screened in porch overlooking the lake on the east side (great for watching the sun rise while drinking an early morning cup of coffee). the kitchen is well stocked. It has everything one needs to have a wonderful visit on Fripp Island!

Serene island getaway
If you’re looking for some peace and tranquility and a wonderful plush setting, this is a great getaway! I love how the home is on the lake and lots of trails and places to bike and walk. It is a short bike ride or a golf cart ride to the Fripp Island amenities. We loved everything about the home especially that screened porch! 5 stars!!!

Perfect for relaxation
The house was everything as described. Very clean and well equipped. A perfect property for relaxation, enjoying the views and the abundant wildlife. We spent a lot of time on the screen porch watching the various species of marsh birds. There was easy access to the beach by using the golf cart. We did have a problem with the golf cart however Kathy with the property management company was very responsive to get it fixed. We would rent this property again.

Good times with fun deer vibes!
What a fabulous vacation! We escaped the hot humidity of FL to experience a *colder* Christmas this year in SC. The weather did not disappoint and neither did the Deer Lake house! It was exactly what we were looking for a week long stay with 4 adults and one 11 yr old. We really enjoyed the views of the scenery from every window in the house (multiple deer, lots of wading birds ,1 alligator and beautiful sunrises). Cruising the island in the golf cart and hanging out with the very chill deer was so much fun! The activity center was a nice highlight too (we got to hold snakes). The house is well maintained and we enjoyed cooking every night in the big kitchen with the nice newer appliances. Evenings were spent cozied up in the living room watching Christmas movies. Beds are all super comfortable and we had everything we needed. Thank you for making our week long stay a memory we will never forget!

Beautiful home with beautiful view
Very much enjoyed your home with all the extras! The golf cart was so handy to get back and forth from the beach and the bikes were great. Our family of 6 loved every minute of it.

Nice visit
House was clean and easy to find. Was nice that had a golf cart to use and bikes. Forgot beach chairs so would have been nice if house came with some of those items as most other houses we have rented along coast in the past..
Resort amenities looked a little tired. Restaurants on island are not great but ok for quick convenient meals. The Lady's Island dockside restaurant was very good though it is about 25 minute drive. Foolish Frog on St Helena was also good. Beaches nice but no showers at access points. Pretty scenery and wildlife around island. Ton of deer. Stores on island have most of what you need. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely love this house
We have been going to Fripp for years and have stayed many places on the island. We may have found our new favorite!! We LOVE this house & location in Deer Lake. The house is beautiful, the views are amazing, the kitchen was well stocked, the bedding was soft, and the golf cart was great. We loved that bikes were there & that we could bring our little dog. It is a little bit of a drive to get to a beach access, but that didn’t bother us. This weekend was even a little more special because my son got engaged while there. Nothing better than Fripp & this house made it even better!

Great Time!
This was a great property on Fripp. We have rented for several years and this house did not disappoint. Golf cart was great too. The lake surrounding the house made us feel serene and provided daily excitement with the alligator sightings. The Deer Lake community pool was refreshing, clean and uncrowded. The kids stayed in the upstairs space and we never heard them. Everything was nicely new and updated. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect for family get-away
Property was in a quiet location with great access to the rest of the Island. It had gorgeous views out every window! There were a few bugs, but that is expected in a home surrounded by water, trees, and grass. I highly recommend this property and hope to go back to the same place again - it was the best!!!

An absolute beauty!
This house was hands down one of our favorites that we have ever stayed in at Fripp! You can see the lagoon from every window in the house and the view from the living room is absolutely gorgeous! The layout is awesome, location is wonderful, lots of wildlife to see from the porches, the golf cart is really nice - lovely place! Also, you cannot ask for a better property manager. She is quick to respond, down to earth, eager to make sure your stay is wonderful, easy to communicate with, and clearly cares about her properties and tenants. 10/10 would recommend!

Our new favorite vacation spot!
This property is AMAZING! The house, neighborhood, & Fripp Island in general exceeded our expectations! A beautiful view from all sides, so many different areas to take in all the beauty & wildlife without being on top of each other, comfortable & beautifully decorated, a great kitchen, a wonderful outdoor shower to wash off the sand from the wide, uncrowded beaches (so easy to access with the golf cart). We also enjoyed riding the bikes through the quiet neighborhood & bike trails. The neighborhood pool was nice to have access to also. So much to love about this special place! It was such a peaceful retreat & so hard to leave!
