The property provided plenty of room for 6 people with all the comforts of home!
We really enjoyed the screened in porch overlooking the lagoon! The location on the island is perfect for walking to boardwalk or golf carting to the beach. Kitchen is stocked with everything you could need to cook. Only complaint is could use a little better cleaning but nothing major. Over all a very nice experience!

Perfect stay!
Truly enjoyed our time on Fripp. How was clean and well laid out. Renovations are beautiful! There are plenty of books and games to keep your group occupied. The golf cart makes it easy to see the island. We had an issue with the battery running out fast on cart and owner quickly had a loaner there for us. Super easy to work with and very well equipped house. Hope to stay again.... hopefully when it’s a bit warmer so we can use the beautiful back porch. Looking forward to next time!

Wonderful open house for family
My four kids, parents, partner and I all enjoyed our stay here. The golf cart was so handy, and the location was quiet and private without seeming far away. We loved the nearby pool but especially loved the gigantic screened porch and open main floor. Every dinner seemed like a party! The two huge owners suites on the main floor were perfect for our large blended family, too. I would recommend this listing without any hesitation!

Great house on Fripp!
Wonderful house; screened in porch was larger than it looks in the pictures. Living room and porch easily handled a dinner for over twenty guests. House was clean, quiet neighborhood, easy to get anywhere on the island. Owner handled an issue with passes immediately, was easy to communicate with. Strongly recommend it.

Excellent Place to Relax!
Fripp Island is a great place to stay if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing trip. This property was excellent, and we're so glad we had the opportunity to stay there. Excellent (and fast) communication from the host; roomy, open-space design, and the wonderful screened in back deck made for a great getaway!

Nothing was overrated with this property, very nice and very comfortable. Very clean, felt good when we entered. A few concerns of my doing, owner was quick with an answer. Only thing is: do get what you need before you get there. It will save another trip to the store which is about 30 minutes away.

One of the Best Values at Fripp!
This was our 2nd year staying at 859 Water Oak. It was clean, comfortable, and suited the needs for 8 of us just like last year. Early on in our stay the upstairs began to heat up a bit so I called the owner to let him know. He had someone there to fix it the next morning and all was well again. The owner is very easy to communicate with and prioritizes his guest's experience. The back porch! Will be back!

A very nice home with four bedrooms, three baths, spacious living room area, and a wonderful porch. Air conditioning works very well during hot days. The location is very good. You can sit on the porch in the morning or evening and see deer, birds, and raccoons.

Wonderful home
What a great place to stay! The wildlife was amazing to see and listen to on the large screened in porch. We pretty much lived in that area unless we were sleeping or off on an adventure! We had 6 adults ranging from 24 to 52, a 3yo and a 1yo but didn’t feel cramped or living on top of each other. Rooms were nicely spaced for privacy. Must say the photos do not do the home justice! Book it...You won’t regret it!

Excellent home with plenty of room
Don't be deceived by the appearance of the home on the outside. It is VERY large on the inside, with two master suites on the main level and plenty of room all around. Our family with three teenagers found this house to be very clean, well-stocked, and in a lovely, shaded location. Would highly recommend.
