We love vacationing to Fripp Island and this was our 5th stay on the Island but 1st in this home. We fell in love with the home immediately. Beautiful decor, very clean, comfy furniture in the living area, nice fire pit outside making smores, enjoying the deer daily that came by to visit, golf cart, bicycles, all the beach accessories--so many amenities here at this house! The Owners were fabulous and answered my texts/calls immediately which is always nice. We difinitely will be back!

When we pulled into Deerfield Court, we were immediately taken by the setting – a cluster of nice cottages set in palms, palmettos and live oak trees overlooking a small inlet. Mermaid Cottage stood out for its distinctive design and its fire pit surrounded by colorful Adirondack chairs. Upon entering the cottage, we realized that it was much bigger than we had expected from looking at the Vrbo photos. The spacious living room and dining room are complemented with 2 small seating areas just right for reading in the morning or afternoon sun. If the weather is fine, you might choose to sit on the small deck looking out on the inlet. It was nice to have so many choices. And the place was super clean! The kitchen with its big dining island has all the modern appliances you need for a delightful vacation. Since it is open to the dining room, it’s easy to get the food from the stove to the table. And, speaking of the table, it was one of our favorite pieces of furniture. It appears to have been made from an old, very solid, thick wooden door. The table and the stools are high giving diners a fine view of the inlet and surrounding vegetation out the expansive windows. We appreciated all the storage space in the dresser and walk-in closet in the master bedroom. The bed is comfortable, the room is quiet, and the whole setup is conducive to a good night’s sleep. The two upstairs bedrooms are fine for kids, or for family and friends who might be visiting. Our guests were very pleased with their accommodations. One of the most impressive things about Mermaid Cottage is the feeling of privacy afforded by the vegetation surrounding the house. When you’re in the cottage, most of the windows face greenery and the inlet. My wife said it made her feel like she was in a tree house. Even when you’re sitting around the fire pit, you are sheltered by palmettos though you will get occasional greetings from friendly folks walking by on the road. Of course, the Fripp Island setting of the Mermaid Cottage is just wonderful. The golf cart and the bicycles provided with the house make it easy and fun to explore your vacation home. The island is covered with walking/biking paths, and the beaches are marvelous. The large deer population on the island is fun to watch. I could go on, but I think my wife said it all when she told me that this was the first vacation home we had been to in the Beaufort area where she could easily spend a month or more.

We loved our stay at Greyson's Mermaid Cottage and on Fripp Island. Visited for a week in early March. The weather was just right, the home is beautiful and is placed in a relaxing and comfortable location. We loved watching the wildlife in the backyard lagoon while we ate breakfast each morning. Fripp is conveniently located between Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC. We spent a day in downtown Savannah and two days in and around Charleston. There is plenty to do on Fripp Island as well. We explored Hunting Island State Park next door with trails, beaches, and a lighthouse. Our daily bike rides through the neighborhoods on Fripp were pleasant with plenty of sights to see, including King Arthur (large alligator) on the golf course. Plenty of beach access points and miles of beach to walk and enjoy. We enjoyed the southern cuisine and there are plenty of places to eat locally and at surrounding attractions. The owners are a pleasure to communicate with. Answered all my questions and were very responsive, friendly, and welcoming.

We enjoyed our brief stay on Fripp Island. The house was clean and the owner very accessible and helpful. While it wasn’t in season, the neighborhood pool was across the street and the beach just a short golf cart ride away. We were staying on Fripp for the purpose of scouting property so most days we were busy with that. The one negative is the lack of good restaurants nearby. We cooked most meals in, as the house was fully stocked with kitchen items and also had a gas grill out back.

We stayed 1.5 weeks and had a terrific time! The house is immaculately clean and cozy. The Mermaid Cottage is on a private cul-de-sac overlooking a small lake. The owner, Julie, is very kind and gracious and her communications were always great. Thank you very much for a memorable getaway!

We came down for the long weekend from nearby Charleston. The house was wonderful and fit our needs perfectly with three kids. We did some biking and hiking over on nearby Hunting Island and made the quick trip into Beaufort for dinner. Thanks to the hosts who were great and we look forward to coming back for a full week in the summer months.

This was our second time staying in this home. We will be back again. The home is beautiful. It is well built, decorated, location is fantastic, and the owners have gone the extra mile to make sure you have everything needed for your stay.

Our family has been visiting Fripp for 15 years. This home was the cleanest and best equipped of any we have stayed at. We really enjoyed the extra items for the beach and using the kayaks.

We really enjoyed our week in Greysons mermaid cottage on Fripp! The location was great, the house was the perfect size for our family and had everything we needed, and the host was very kind and helpful.

We all enjoyed the stay. The house was comfortable and easy to move into for the week. Julie was always available if we had any questions. This is definitely on our "to do again" list.

We had a wonderful time. The weather and beach time was perfect. The host was so accommodating. We would definitely recommend.

We had an excellent stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The home itself is beautiful, well laid out, with good basic amenities (toaster, coffee pot etc). There is an adorable small balcony overlooking the lagoon. We loved standing out there and watching the fish jump, and an occasional alligator swim by. The provided golf course was fantastic. This is the main mode of transportation on the Island. During swimming season (Starts in May) you can literally walk diagonal from the property to a gorgeous pool, with an enclosed playground. The neighbors are super pleasant and friendly. The island itself is amazing. Literally on the Atlantic Ocean coast. An easy 5 minute golf cart ride and your at the beach. There are two public playgrounds to use during the winter season when the pool playground is closed. Just across the bridge is Hunting Island (owners provided a pass which was used many times). There are activities multiple times a day at Hunting Island, and amazing shark tooth and seashell hunting areas. The surrounding islands have so much to offer- Penn Center, Marine Corps Museum, Gullah culture, Maritime Museum, Kazoo factory and on and on. And the food! So many close local restaurants that don’t disappoint! Avoid “Another Slice” though, but definitely check out Barefoot Bubbas, Shrimp Shack, Beedos, and Lowcountry Cider (and coffee shop) to name just a few. And last but not least- the owners. We have never rented through VRBO from such amazing people. Personalized phone calls, check ins with activities happening during your trip, and following up after your stay. They easily helped problem solved with us, and made our stay very comfortable. You simply cannot go wrong staying at Fripp Island.

This rental was absolutely perfect! The house was well furnished and equipped with everything we could imagine needing. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, so we didn't have to worry about traffic or noise. The owners were on top of everything and responded quickly with questions. They thought of everything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage! Julie was fantastic to work with and has thoughtfully prepared a fantastic lodging experience for her guests!

Relaxing long weekend getaway that was much needed. Traffic on the island is minimal. The awesome golf cart was a great touch too. We were amazed at the amount of deer that just peacefully graze in the area. Everyone we met in the neighborhood and surrounding areas were very friendly. The owners are wonderful. They communicate regularly and are easily available for anything needed. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Can’t wait to return! Stay was wonderful and Julie was great to work with! Beautiful home and very well-furnished!

Very pleasant and Julie was very helpful

Every detail of our Fripp Island vacation was memorable, from lazy mornings drinking coffee while watching alligators and anhinga in the lagoon from the porch, to gorgeous beach and marsh sunset bike rides. We even heard and then watched two male deer locking antlers when grilling out. This was the perfect getaway for our famiily. We'll most certainly be back.

This is a beautiful home on Fripp Island. Julie has done an incredible job with making this place feel like home. It’s updated, well kept, and has everything you need for your stay. There’s lots of beautiful touches that make you feel welcomed. We were able to have great family dinners the nights we stayed there as there was plenty of room in the dining area. Deer lake neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. Julie responded timely prior to and during our trip. We will definitely stay here again.

This house was very clean and very well stocked with household items that made it feel homey. Our stay in this house was wonderful, which made for a perfect family vacation.

This home was absolutely prefect! No detail has been overlooked, everything has been updated and was immaculately clean, organized and had every amenity you could want or need for a wonderful beach vacation. We enjoyed riding bikes and exploring the island, many relaxing days on the beach and it was so nice to come back to this house for a great shower, perfect kitchen to cook a great meal and comfortable beds. This home is located in a cul-de-sac, in a very quiet area which is perfect for small kids to ride their bikes also. This home will be my #1 pick of homes on the island to stay for our next trip!! We can't wait to come back!

The property and host were amazing. The house came equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay, including the coolest golf cart on the island.

First off the owner Julie is so nice and responsive. She answered all our questions pre arrival, even checked on us by text throughout our trip. The house is beautiful. You can see all nature from the beautiful kitchen and den windows- fishing and gators and the deer walk right up the the house and windows. The house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Linens, beach towels, chairs, bikes, golf cart, well stocked kitchen. We took our grown children and had 6 adults and had plenty of room. We will definitely come back! Can’t recommend this place and the owners enough and what a bargain for all you get!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was so clean. I am always prepared to clean a house myself to meet my own standards before bringing the kids in. I didn’t clean a single thing! It passed all of my expectations! They had the house stocked with everything we needed! Julie is so precious and was great to work with! We would for sure stay here again!!

Great house! Beautifully decorated. Nicely stocked! Very comfortable space for our group of 6. We stayed in the spring, so pool wasn’t open yet, but very nice neighborhood. We really enjoyed the bikes/golf cart provided. Had one small glitch with the golf cart, but owners were very responsive prior to stay and checked in with us after arriving. I’m sure they would have taken care of this too, had the awesome guy that worked for “we see ‘ums” not helped us before they could. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our weekend stay here very much. Excellent wildlife viewing, and overall a quiet place to stay in March.

The home was wonderful and the location was breathtaking.

We spent the last week of December relaxing in this comfortable, clean house . The owner provided bikes which we used every day to explore the island. We also loved taking the golf cart to the beach. We had a couple of questions about the house and Kathy got back to us immediately .The lagoon is just beautiful and watching the great egrets fly in to fish was such a treat. Nice place, quiet neighborhood setting, just as advertized.

"Giving a five star review was the easiest thing I've done in a while. From start to finish, Sandcastle Property Management was helpful, responsive and professional. This charming home away from home was everything we needed and wanted. Fripp Island is the perfect getaway . We didn't want to leave and will definitely book this cottage again in the future.

Great getaway! The house is well furnished and decorated. The contacts with the owner were easy (very responsive). Location is nice, you can go everywhere with the golf cart (included). Everything was perfect to spend an awesome trip! Hopefully we can come back 😊

I would definitely stay here again. Peaceful, quiet yet convenient.
