We had the best time at Shorely Blessed! Cheryl was excellent to work with and undoubtedly, this was the cleanest house we have ever stayed at on Fripp! We will certainly rent Shorely Blessed again! You won't be sorry!!
We were pleasantly surprised to find this home roomier than anticipated (you never know for sure with posted photos). We spent thanksgiving here and had room for all of us (12) to enjoy our feast together. The walk to the beach was not too far. We loved having access to the bikes as well. When we did encounter a problem, Gary responded promptly . All in all a great place to stay!

I rented this house for our family's summer beach vacation, and it was perfect. It's a great location with a large yard, plenty of parking and lots of wildlife. The house is laid out perfect for families and has a lot of benefits if traveling with children. It was nicely stocked with so many extras! A full toy chest, pack n play, highchair, changing table, bunk beds, checker set, games, etc. Plus, the kitchen had plenty of dishes, silverware, glassware, cookware, etc. so it made family dinners easy too. A golf cart is included as well as many bikes, beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, etc. This house was perfect for our family, and we really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely stay here again when returning to Fripp. Also, Sam Graci is so nice and always there to help you. You cannot go wrong. This house is a PLUS!!!!

We have been coming to Hunting Island for over 30 years. We raised our (now adult) 4 children on the beaches. However, this was our very first family vacation on Fripp Island. (Don't ask what took so long!) We had a wonderful time and a much needed family vacation! The house was in the perfect location, private, quiet, and exactly what we needed for our family of 7. (next year it will be 8!) The house was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and grill. We had enough space in the house to comfortably relax and spread out. The beds were pretty comfortable too! Our youngest daughter made really good use of the tree swing out back. And we enjoyed watching the family of deer stroll through each morning and evening. The golf cart provided was very convenient to ride around the island and admire all the beauty the island has to offer, especially the wildlife! There are chairs and boogie boards available to use too. Sam was available with any questions that I had. It is safe to say we found our house! We will definitely be coming back more frequently. Thank you for opening this wonderful home to our family. We were indeed blessed to be able to find such a last-minute hidden gem.
