We just spent our honeymoon on Fripp Island and it was an amazing week. We rented one of the beach-front Captain John Fripp condos through vrbo.com. The location, right on the beach and next to the Beach Club (which has two beautiful pools), was ideal. We received club cards as part of our rental, and was glad we had them... More

My husband and I stayed here once before for a wedding and always wanted to return. The island is secluded, in that there are no fast food restaurants, grocery stores, etc., so if you do stay, make sure you stop at the stores for supplies before you come, also you must rent/own a place before you are admitted. The best... More

We had the pleasure of spending a week on Fripp Island the end of March 2013. The weather was cool but, we didn't have any snow! There are numerous activities that you can do on the island for a very active vacation. We played golf, rented bikes and rode the beaches for hours. Biked to Hunting Island, which is the... More

My family has been visiting Fripp Island Resort for years. It is a quiet, family-oriented, residential island that is relaxing and lovely. However, the resort staff is very lacking in customer service. Over the years, we have had a few things go wrong. That's normal when you go somewhere year after year. But it is how the resort handles those... More

We have been staying on Fripp Island for the month of March 2013. Fripp Island is nice but the resort management's restrictive policy regarding use of any facility without an amenities card means we will not come back here again. The entire island is one gated development. Use of any amenity on the island (golf course, rental of golf carts,... More

We are wrapping up a February stay on Fripp at a very nice rented home. We have stayed in Beaufort, and on Harbor Island, so we are familiar with the Low Country and enjoy each trip. Each time we came to the end of the road near the fishing pier on Hunting Island (lighthouse, top rated beach) we wondered about... More

This was our first trip to Fripp Island and we loved it! The island is lovely and the beaches are never crowded. The house we had was so comfortable and spacious. There are plenty of activities for the kids. My son went on the dolphin cruise at Camp Fripp and had a great time. That said the island is definitely... More
