About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fripper Upper: 1st Floor, Just for TWO, All MARSH Views, FREE Coffee/Tea/Creamer, Club Cards Available!

Stay with us and see why our guests brag that "Fripper Upper" is the best one-bedroom on the island!
"Fripper Upper" is a COMPLETELY and TASTEFULLY RENOVATED (end of 2021) 1 king bed/1 full bath FIRST FLOOR CORNER villa with INCREDIBLE marsh, canal, and sunset views!  The current owners purchased at the end of 2020 and spent all of 2021 making the entire villa new, bright, light, and airy.  EVERY window allows plenty of light while highlighting the beauty and splendor of the marsh, wildlife, and Mother Nature.  NO PARKING LOT OR STAIRCASE VIEWS - ALL MARSH VIEWS!   NO STAIRS TO THE BEDROOM (once inside, it's all one level - you don't have to haul luggage up stairs to a bedroom).  The beach, ocean, adults-only pool and bar, Island Bites food court, Olympic swimming/lap pool, Island Arcade, The Resort's Fripp Ship souvenir/clothing store, gym/fitness center, and the heart of Fripp Island are just across the street, with MULTIPLE BEACH ACCESSES too!

What makes "Fripper Upper" different:
- Involved and caring owners that update, maintain, deep clean, and stock supplies on a regular basis - Not a "set it and forget it" property!
- Stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and new cookware, bakeware, tools, utensils.
- Lighted, open-shelved beverage bar with a mini wine cooler, Keurig machine, coffee K-cup pods, and other coffee / beverage accessories and tools.
- Remote controlled ceiling fans inside and on the screened-in back porch.
- Remote controlled smart, flat-screen TVs with local stations, cable/music channels, and apps (guests use own logins) in living room and bedroom.

- Private screened-in back porch with outdoor party lights and balcony-height resin Adirondack chairs.

- Cultured marble walk-in shower (no bathtub) with a dual-function showerhead.
- EVERY window provides a view of the marsh, canal, and wildlife (no parking lot or staircase views).
- TWO DIFFERENT FANTASTIC VIEWS just from the bedroom!

 

Tennis and pickle ball courts are in front of the building, with an outdoor community shower on the side.  A private community dock and outdoor community charcoal grill are behind the building overlooking the marsh and canal.  Across the street is the beach and ocean, adults-only pool and bar, Island Bites food court, Olympic swimming/lap pool, Island Arcade, The Resort's Fripp Ship souvenir/clothing store, and gym/fitness center with the beach and ocean just steps away!

Fripp Island Fabulous!!
We fell in love with Fripp Island nearly 20 years ago and look forward to our visits every year! Fripper Upper was the perfect spot for us! Beautifully and comfortably appointed, immaculately clean and the owners thought of EVERYTHING you could possibly need! Centrally located on the island, beautiful views, our new home away from home!!

Frippin' Fantastic!
Shannan's condo was the perfect spot for us to celebrate our 18th anniversary and first time to Fripp Island. Extremely clean and exactly as described; the app she created for her guests was most helpful! LOVED the coffee/wine bar; I was completely obsessed w/ seeing all the deer! We had visitors everyday to the condo! Marsh views were incredible and my husband thoroughly enjoyed watching the storms roll in from the back porch. The bed was very comfortable. Location is perfect, especially if you get resort cards to have access to the pools and fitness center! Shannan was available via text if needed and very responsive! Almost NO noise from neighbors! Definitely recommend!!

First Time to Fripp (and Fripper Upper)...but not the Last Time!!
For our first visit to Fripp, we stayed at Fripper Upper, which was an immaculate property! The unit was on the marsh, with a wonderful and peaceful view. The unit itself was in pristine condition; newly renovated and super-clean, with all the updates and amenities you could want in a vacation rental. The bedroom was warm and inviting and the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was brand new, was well stocked and had wonderful new appliances! Bathroom, laundry, screened porch and comfy living room....Fripper Upper has it all! Shannan is a great host! She answered all our questions so quickly, and went above and beyond with providing all kinds of information about Fripp and the amenities and services on and off the island. She also provided a Digital Welcome Guide that answered every question you could think of and then some, as well as giving a wealth of information on everything Fripp. This was our first visit to Fripp and Fripper Upper but definitely not our last. We would give it 6 stars if it was an option! Thank you, Shannan, for being such an awesome host...we are looking forward to our next visit!!

Amazing Place, Amazing Location
Pictures don’t do it full justice, this place is an amazing experience, and is wonderfully situated between the channel and beach. Shannan was super helpful and kind throughout the whole process, you could really tell they put a lot of effort into making people feel welcomed and at home. 10 stars all around!

Perfect for 2 in Fripp!!
This condo is perfect for a party of 2 staying in Fripp. You're right across the street from the center of the activity of the island with the Adult Pool/Bar, access to the beach, tennis courts, etc. We had everything we needed and more inside the condo, and knew we could message Shannan if we needed help. The best part is having the marsh view from the screened in porch -- we watched gators feed, birds diving and jumping fish all week! And the deer frequented us, too. We're so excited to rent again when we come back!
