FANTASTIC PROPERTY!!!

The home is spectacular!!! Amenities were great and it has the most well-equipped kitchen of any rental I've had! Only suggestion would be that the screen be replaced on the main level back porch and another chair or two on that porch. We loved sitting out there!!! I would absolutely rent again if we go to Fripp another time!!!

Beautiful!

This home is beautiful and was a great asset to our vacation. 91 year old Dad was able to use the elevator and golf carts were extra handy, especially with handicapped access availability on the beach. The screened porch in back was a great morning coffee/bird watching/family gathering spot. ABSOLUTELY recommend this place!

Excellent home for a big family vacation.

Beautiful property with terrific views of the marsh and inlet, and a 5 minute walk to the beach. The beach was beautiful. The house has a front porch and two screened in porches in the back with very comfortable furniture. We had a wonderful stay on Fripp Island.

Family visit for baby shower

We had a large group of extended family in town for a shower and wanted to stay together. The house was very nice and well maintained, the host was wonderful also. The disappointing part is the extra fees that Fripp charges. I paid over $500 for amenity cards and only 3 people were ever asked to show them the entire weekend. It was a waste of money on top of the amount already spent.

Best Wedding Ever!

A truly beautiful place to host a small wedding! Our closest family and friends gathered for a weekend of festivities at the Barnes' home. Not only was Fripp the perfect place to host a wedding but this home made for a wonderful gathering place and reception area. In planning for this weekend I had a million questions and Joan was so gracious in answering all questions and providing help. The backyard situated on the marsh with a beautiful porch created a magnificent place for our reception. The home was large enough to fit people coming and going throughout the weekend. The kitchen was perfect for the caterer to prepare. The golf carts were so helpful carting people around the island. I can't thank Joan enough for allowing us to have such an incredible wedding at her home!

About the host

Hosted by Joan Barnes and David Patzke, Owners

Host profile image
4RentOnFripp,LLC owns the luxury vacation home on the Marsh at Fripp Island, SC. Joan and her husband Dave are both active owners who make sure your vacation is the best it can be.

Why they chose this property

We came to Fripp Island as something new and different to do with the kids for vacation. They enrolled in Camp Fripp and we took off on the golf cart exploring the island and just fell in love. Now with this home and 6 homesites, we still enjoy the magic of Fripp.

What makes this property unique

The party deck has two picnic tables with benches, a round conversation table with 4 chairs, a bar, built in seating around the perimeter, grill and the most amazing sunsets on Fripp each night! A water house is built-in so for nights when you want to have a low country boil with friends and family, your clean up is as easy as a few good minutes with the hose and you are ready for the next meal. Kids of all ages love the deck.
