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 literally 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 Fripp Ship and The Little Fripp Ship souvenir/clothing stores, gym/fitness center, and the heart of Fripp Island are just across the street, with MULTIPLE BEACH ACCESSES too!
***** EXCITING UPDATES COMING!  *****
