Great Beach House

This was a great beach house! The kitchen had everything we needed, and included both a K-cup brewer & drip coffee pot. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean.

Great communication

Leading up the the trip, I had several questions about parking/amenities/whatever else and the owner was very responsive and helpful. The house was exactly as listed and was in a great location. We rented golf carts for the weekend but we probably didn’t need to because we were walking distance to the main pool/beach area

Can’t wait to come back!

We’ve been coming to Fripp for almost 10 years. We used to stay in a Davis Love Cottage but outgrew it last year. We found 617 Dolphin during our visit in 2023 and we could not be happier with this hidden treasure. So. Much. Room!!!! The back porch is a dream. Bill was as helpful as ever with my questions. And we have already made arrangements for next year before even leaving. Can’t wait to come back next year!!

Family Vacation

This property is as describe in the VRBO listing. The owner is very easy to communicate with and information was given when questions were ask. We even reported that the next visitor would need more propane for the gas grill for the following week and it was replaced the next day in case we decided to use it again. The back porch is wonderful and adds a second living room space.

617 Dolphin Road

Loved the screened in porch! I think a coded lock would work better but no issues during our stay. It said to start a load of laundry in the washer and dryer but I never could find the washer and dryer so the directions may need updating.

Great visit to Fripp!

Nice, clean property. House could use some updating. Also, washer/dryer are located in lower level of house which wasn’t in online description (I don’t think). First world problem, I know. Glad we had them… We loved screened in porch and “watched” as remnants of Hurricane Idalia went through. Also, water spigot in kitchen could use tightening. Bill (property mgr) was great to answer questions

We love Fripp, but had some hiccups

This is our second time coming to Fripp and our first time staying at this home. The home's description online said it came with a crib which was critical for us. I messaged the host a week beforehand to confirm the crib was there - it wasn't. So we had to bring our own. Not a huge deal but still a bit frustrating. Upon initial check in at the guard gate, we had a minor heart attack because our names weren't on the list. After some back and forth with the guard, we realized our last name had been bungled. All of our communication with the host had been in writing so I'm not sure how that happened. Most importantly, we booked the home for its proximity to the beach access. We have a young baby so I wanted to stay somewhere where we could easily go back and forth between the home and the beach. It was a huge disappointment to discover that the beach access near the house was closed. I messaged the host and they said it happened after the storm a week prior, but it was so incredibly overgrown it's hard to believe it had only been closed for a week. Overall, we still had a nice time at the house. The back porch is wonderful. But if you're looking for a home with beach access at the end of its street like I was, I would confirm with the resort or one of the local Facebook groups whether it's open before you book.

We had a great time here! Use the beach access 10 instead of 11 for ease. But otherwise location was perfect. LOVED the screened in porch for the evening of meals and playing games. We will definitely be back!

Great Fripp beach House

Wonderful place to stay! The home was sparkling clean and well appointed. We could tell the level of care that went into the place. Lots of great games to play. Good range of cooking supplies. Great grill. Beautiful deck and lots and lots of room. The place is a great combination of classic Fripp Island, but with some nice updates. Quick walk to the beach. Highly recommended.
