WE REGRET THIS UNFORTUNATE INCONVENIENCE. IT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR CONTROL. WE SHARE YOUR FRUSTRATION

Our 1500 square foot villa offers a fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean from the second floor deck. The uncrowded beach is just a short walk across our quiet courtyard and boardwalk!

The living room includes sofa, loveseat, breakfast table and NEW 55" smart TV, and DVD player. The washer and dryer (newer) are conveniently located within the villa. The kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator (newer), dishwasher (newer), range/oven (newer), 2 microwaves (newer), and air fryer (NEW). The adjoining dining room provides another spectacular view of the Atlantic.

Sleeping arrangements are: four twin beds in the loft (great for children), one king bed in one of the main floor bedrooms, one queen bed in the other main floor bedroom, and two twin beds in the den off of the living room. The main floor bedrooms each have newer shower baths. The loft has a tub/shower bath.

All newer luxury vinyl plank flooring on the main level and a bright new paint look!

Our central location puts you within walking distance of pools, NEW larger fitness center, specialty shops, fine dining at The Beach Club Restaurant, Island Bites Food Court, and the Racquet Club's eight tennis courts and six pickle ball courts. Ocean Point Golf Links to the north and Ocean Creek Golf Club to the south are each less than 5 minutes away.

The full-service marina complex provides launching, docking, fuel, charter services, and the Marina Store. Rental golf carts, mopeds, bicycles, fishing boats, and kayaks are also available. The Bonito Boathouse Restaurant offers family fare with fantastic sunset views from the roof top dining room. No visit is complete without an excursion boat ride on The Fripper II pontoon boat.

The Cabana Club at Veranda Beach has three pools, Willie's Wet Bar, and the Cabana Club Grille. Camp Fripp offers daily summertime children's activities for ages 3 through 12. Additional nature and social programs are scheduled for the entire family. Davis Love Park has a playground, full basketball court, sand volleyball court, and the shrimp boat.

An unlimited number of Fripp Island Resort Guest Cards may be purchased that allow access to all island amenities. (Resort service fee applies). Please ask us for details.

A tour along the off-road bicycle trail reveals an abundance of deer, low-country birds, and other wildlife. You may even see one of our lazy gators. What you won't see are fast-food or fast cars; neon lights or traffic lights.

For your safety and protection, there is a 24 hour gate with security force, fire, and paramedic services.

Fripp Island is the complete vacation for complete relaxation. You'll come for a week and come back for a lifetime!

Viv from Corbin, Kentucky was here and reports:
'My family and I just returned from a week's stay at this fabulous villa. The oceanfront is practically at the back door. While the photo on this web site shows the closeness of the beach, it's actually nearer than it appears! The beach is less than a 100 steps away! The views of the ocean are spectacular from almost every room. And sunrise and sunset on the beach can't be beat at any price! The villa is just as advertised. The upstairs children's room is huge with four comfortable twin beds, and the two en suite bathrooms downstairs made it perfect for my family's privacy. The smaller fourth bedroom (downstairs) is perfect for children or teens. The kitchen is nicely equipped for cooking one's own meals and there is ample seating for dining indoors or out! Publix, Walmart, and Food Lion grocery shopping is an easy drive from the condo. There is a Lowe's about 45 minutes away for other shopping needs. The John Fripp Villas have a very private, residential feel, with well-maintained buildings, parking areas and landscaping. We loved the quiet, non-commerical nature of Fripp Island and its properties. No traffic, no loud noise, no huge crowds. We highly recommend touring Fripp Island on foot or by bicycle! Riding a bike along well-maintained paths was one of our favorite ways to spend time. The fishing and crabbing were great fun, even so early in the season. While we didn't catch enough crab this time to make a meal for all, the dining in nearby Beaufort was just as enjoyable. We recommend making a trip to PLUMS in Beaufort for a fabulous dinner experience. Make a point to visit KATHLEEN'S (right next to PLUMS) for a quiet, delicious lunch. The owners of this villa are eager to please and answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. They really wanted us to feel welcomed and we surely did. Our entire experience with this villa was spot on. We all voted to return to this villa again next year! Many thanks to Fripp Four-Ever for the opportunity to stay at this wonderful condo!'

Wonderful, as always
We have been going to Fripp Island for almost 30 years now and have stayed at this condo for the last 10+ years. The location and view are perfect with easy access to the beach. The condo is clean and full of anything we needed including a baby gate and pack n play which was so helpful. Dennis is easy to communicate with and the check in/out process was simple. We will certainly be back!

We stayed here and had a wonderful time! The location is terrific and you can't beat the view from the deck. The property has recently been updated and looks modern with the updated showers and floors. Plenty of room if we had wanted to bring our kids. Dennis was great with communication and was very responsive with any questions I had. Will definitely stay here again!

Needs Improvement
The Captain John Fripp Villas are the ideal location on Fripp, so the villa could not be better situated. The deck is a great size with plenty of furniture and the deer did not disappoint. The Unit however is badly outdated and unclean. In particular the kitchen, bedding, pillows, carpet and couches were all filthy. Very disappointing especially with young children. The kitchen has some new appliances and the baths have had some updating, but rest of the units needs a serious update. We will not be coming back unless the rest of this unit receives a renovation and the furnishings are replaced.

Amazing sunrise views and location
The location couldn’t be better right off the ocean with great views of the sun rising over the ocean. The place is very spacious, well stocked and the host is awesome. There are definitely things that need updating and could be cleaner, like the carpet, but for the price it was perfect for our family!

Property is very close to the beach, but bring a wagon to haul your chairs, coolers, etc. The villa needs updating except for the 2 master bathrooms. The cleaning service is not doing a good job cleaning between guests. The owner is very good to work with!

Wonderful Stay Jan 01 - Jan 04 2020
Our grandson graduated from Parris Island & we were so very lucky to have found Dennis' Villa. Dennis was very accommodating & answered all our questions. We had family come three different states & it was perfect for the mini reunion of ten. The villa had everything you needed. Listening to the waves and seeing the amount of deer from the balcony was amazing. The only downfall because of the season there were no restaurants close by that were open. I would highly recommend that you stay here to see for yourself.

Lovely vacation destination!
The island itself is amazing and peaceful, especially during the off season (less crowded). The condo itself is older But with a little updating and/or deep cleaning, it would be a perfect place (but please understand that the price is less than other renovated condos...if the owner updates, the price would go up 😊) Plenty of room for two families with a lovely porch and view. The beds were comfortable and room sizes were nice. Three bathrooms is a plus! Owner was extremely nice and accommodating and that in of itself is a big plus in my opinion. We will definitely be back in the future as we loved every second of our vacation!! Thank you, Dennis!

Great location, needs update
The location of this property is what makes it ok. However, the inside of the condo is desperately overdue for work. Worn furniture, cracked microwave, stained carpet, dirt hanging from bathroom vents, paint peeling from ceiling water damage, green/yellow original bathrooms with mold in showers. These are facts about the property I wish prior reviews had listed so I could have made an informed decision. The resort and area is beautiful but I would probably choose a better condo next time.

We were really happy with the location of this property. We had easy access to the beach, beach club, and many of the amenities. This villa had places that we could escape to to unwind or just hang together in the common area. The owner was very easy to work with and we look forward to staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis Kautz

Host profile image
We're a group of three families from southwestern Ohio. Some of us are retired; others only dream of being. We've been making the twelve hour trip to Fripp for well over 30 years. We Eat This Stuff Up!.

Why they chose this property

It's a quiet seaside gated community free of theme parks and outlet malls.

What makes this property unique

The Captain John Fripp Villas are the ONLY villas on Fripp Island connected directly to their own full-time beach (no loss of beach at high tide). The island abounds with wildlife; deer, alligators, and a wide variety of birds including heron and osprey.
