Wonderful relaxing week away from it all
This is a beautiful home with large bedrooms. The beds are all comfortable. The bath towels and bed lines seem brand new. The house is beautifully decorated with nice artwork and beach themes through out the house. The living room area has comfortable sofas and chairs and easily fits 8 or more people. The kitchen is well equipped. We cooked most every night and had all we needed to make burgers, homemade pizza, salads, smoothies and more. The owners are responsive and accommodating with any questions. The location is secluded and quiet. The house feels private. The front porch overlooks the street and has comfortable rocking chairs. The back has a screened in porch with ceiling fan and seating for 4. There are at least three pool locations. We loved the pool at ocean point best. It overlooks the beach. It’s quiet and never got crowded. The only pool that’s heated is really kid and family friendly. It was loud and crowded most of the day. We loved the beach. We found the easiest entrance was next to the Olympic pool. It provided miles of walking on soft white sand. The people are friendly. If you want a week to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and disconnect this is an ideal location. What to know: there are plenty of beach chairs and a handful of sand toys. Bring a beach umbrella and beach towels. Rent golf carts. The house golf carts are perfect! It makes getting around fun and easy. We loved the bikes and took all of them out every night, perfect running and bike trails.

Great vacation experience
We went to Fripp for my mom’s birthday with some family to celebrate. This house was the perfect setup for us. A short golf cart ride to the beach and the pools, ping pong table in the garage, relaxing front porch with rocking chairs. The location was great and the house was even better. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Had a terrific time at the Southern Belle property on Fripp. Family vacation. Easily accommodated our 7 folks, and didn't even use one room w/ twin beds. Kitchen, dining areas nice. Golf cart usage a must for just about anyone on Fripp. Owner was immediately responsive to any questions. 5 stars from us!!

Perfect!
The house is beautiful and just as pictured in the advertisement. It should be noted in the property description that the thermostats are locked at 72 and will not go any lower. One of the bedrooms was extremely hot but we did find a fan in a closet upstairs the second day. I would highly recommend this property! Our family of 8 had plenty of room and enjoyed it so much!

Fripp at its finest
Wow! This home was absolutely perfect for our group's needs. First, we adored the neighborhood. Our elementary aged kids could ride the provided bikes around safely and there is a playground within walking distance. We enjoyed the use of both golf carts (additional charge but well worth it!) to explore the island and get to the beach. The large garage with ping pong table was a perfect place for the kids to hang out in the evening. While amenity cards are available through this home, we had plenty to do without even purchasing those. The house itself is laid out very well for a large group. The kitchen was perfect for cooking and had everything we needed. There's a nice size pantry in the kitchen and an additional fridge in the garage. The rooms are incredibly spacious and 4.5 baths was great! We had one child in a pack n play and we put him in the large downstairs master closet with lots of room to spare. The washer and dryer were in great condition and it was wonderful to have an actual laundry room. The adults enjoyed relaxing on the front porch in the evening while the kids played and the deer visited. The back porch was perfect for early morning coffee as I looked out into the beautiful greenery without another house in sight. Mike was incredibly gracious and accommodating. He was easy to reach and checked in with us both at check in and check out to make sure our stay had been perfect. There is also an on-island couple who manage the property and our group really enjoyed chatting with them and while we did not have any issues while we were there it was obvious that they would have handled them quickly and efficiently. If you are looking to book a home for a larger group that allows space for everyone to gather together but also plenty of personal/sleeping space, book the Southern Belle!

Due to illness, we had to postpone
They say good things come to those that wait. During these crazy times, the only thing I wanted to do was get away with a few friends and forget the world around me. Fripp is the place I am normally able to do that. Sadly, a fever, body aches and general malaise dictated that we stay home, especially with what is going on in the world. I have not seen this house is person, I have not been able to zip around the island on the hummer cart, but what I have had the privilege to do is work with one of the best owners in the island. I know a 5 star review on the house will be forth coming, but right now, I am giving a perfect rating to the owners. If your travels bring you to this piece of paradise, consider renting from this homeowner. Has been a joy to work with and I look forward to our rescheduled trip in September when I will breathe in the salty breeze just a bit deeper and give thanks for the opportunity to be in my happy place.

Perfect family trip to Fripp
First time visitors to Fripp Island and we were not disappointed. Island was beautiful. House was perfect for our family set up. House was in great location right next to a playground so my 3 year old loved it. Appreciated the golf carts as they are almost a necessity on the island. Owner was very easy to get in contact with any questions or concerns. Thank you for a great trip!

Picking up our girl from MCRD Parris Island
Coming from California it was our first time to the east coast. We arrived late Tuesday night, we told the owner that we were coming in late, He made sure the lights were turned on for us. It was a great start to our adventure in South Carolina. The house was beautiful. There were 8 of us until we picked up our daughter. Everyone had a bed, More than enough space for all of us. My cousin made the comment that it was so quiet, however there were many sounds of nature around us. it was so calming. We enjoyed our morning and evening visits from the many deer on Fripp Island. Our family enjoyed exploring Fripp on the golf carts. Our last night we ordered take out from Bella Luna (Recommended by the ownver) it was a great meal for a final night. If there was anything that I could change would be to have access to some beach towels. Even though it was in the contract to bring our own we forgot them.The owner Michael De Luca was very easy to get a hold of and answered all of my questions before we left California. He contacted me while we were on his property to make sure everything was in working order and even contacted me after we had gotten home and asked if we made it home okay. If we ever need a place to stay on Fripp Island we would definitely come back to the Southern Belle. Thank you Michael for your southern hospitality, The Corbo Family

Amazing Family vacation at Fripp!!
When searching for a beach house for our large immediate family and grandchildren, "Southern Belle " caught my eye! It has the perfect layout for family with children! It's a Charming, stately, Southern style home with a large rocking chair front porch, and was perfect for rocking our newest grand daughters! The deer are amazing, and love to come visit on a daily basis! Golf carts are nice ( and you will love having them to go to the beach and pools!) The beach at Fripp is so peaceful, and not crowded!! You can also put up tents ( as long as you take them down each day). This was a plus for our family!! Michael the owner was so nice, and always returned a call and answered emails about planning our stay at his gorgeous home!! We even got to meet him, as he had to come check on a new home he is building! Such a wonderful man! You won't regret renting and staying at the Southern Belle!! Thank you Michael and family for sharing your gorgeous home with our family!! We look forward to the next time!!

Family Vacation
My family of 11 just had another GREAT time at Southern Belle! All of us were very sad to leave. Our annual Fripp vacation in the "yellow beach house" has been a peak experience for us over the past 5 summers. We have made many memories on this beautiful island. We have already sent in our deposit for 2019- and can't wait to get back! I must give a strong shot-out to the property managers, Sam & John. They are kind, friendly & very helpful- and they always make us feel right at home in Southern Belle. Give those guys a raise- they are awesome. Mike, I hope that your family has a wonderful summer- and that you get a chance spend some time in paradise (Fripp Island). Again, thanks for sharing your wonderful home with my family!
