"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!

Reviews
Great place to stay! Very clean and modern. Fully stocked kitchen. Even has a coffee bar stocked with creamers etc. very few steps for those with concerns, walk in shower too for easier access for some. The location was fantastic right behind the tennis and pickle ball courts, stores & shops. Sitting on the screened in porch sipping morning coffee looking over the tranquil marsh views was wonderful. A fantastic place for our first visit to Fripp Island and we will definitely be back, staying in this gem of a location.
Fripper Upper was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! It was clean, updated, and beautiful. We hope to return next year!
We loved staying @FripperUpper 182. The 1st floor condo had all the conveniences of home and we even had a special “Welcoming gift”!! We would highly recommend!! Hope to see you again~
This was the nicest & cleanest beach condo we have ever rented! The location was great and host was extremely helpful when we had questions. We will defiantly be renting again!
This condo was by far the best one we ever stayed at. The location was perfect but more importantly the condo was decorated beautiful and the helpful information that Shannon left made the stay so easy. She has everything there you could possibly need. Very obvious she put a lot of thought and time to make any body stay easy. Definitely will be there again. Great job Shannon
Beautiful villa! VERY organized and clean. Stunning marsh views from every window. Great place for couple getaway. My husband loved the easy WiFi login :) Can’t say enough great things about the villa and vacation experience.
Where do I begin? From the moment we stepped into “Fripper Upper” we knew we were at home! We’ve rented vacation homes for the past 30 years and this by far was up there as one of the very best. Shannan and her husband have done a phenomenal job renovating this property. It is clearly obvious that they poured their heart and soul into every detail. You will want for NOTHING when you stay here. Everything is fully stocked, from the kitchen to the laundry room to the plush linens and bedding. The location of unit is ideal, being first floor, end unit makes it super convenient, and the overall location of the Beach Club Villas is a great centralized location on the island to all the amenities. The marsh view from the screened in balcony/porch is so peaceful and serene—the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Let’s not forget the great app that we were sent prior to our arrival which was fantastic and a great resource for our stay. Shannan also made great recommendations for dining and shopping during our stay. If I could give Fripper Upper more than five stars, I would! This is the only place we will stay when visiting Fripp Island!
This small space was perfect for us. It had everything we needed and more…. Recently renovated, beautiful view, well stocked kitchen and great location! We hope to stay here many many more times!
Outstanding stay. Property was well equipped and very comfortable. Screen porch overlooking canal and marsh a perfect place to relax. Easy walk across the street to beach.
Our stay at 182 Beach Club Villa was everything we could want. Shannan is a wonderful and attentive host. The villa has everything you would need from bath to kitchen. The pictures are true to the layout and look. We look forward to stay at Fripper Upper again very soon!
The condo was recently renovated and beautifully done. It was well stocked and spotless. The owners are involved and very responsive down to the last detail. A short walk to the beach was nice. We will definitely book again in the future.
Absolute perfection! This was our second stay at Fripper Upper. Shannan is the ultimate hostess. Every inch of this beautiful villa has been planned with purpose and thoughtfuness toward her guests. It is sparkling clean, in a wonderfully quiet location, and not one detail has been overlooked. I've been visiting Fripp since 1986, and this is the most immaculate and comfortable rental I've ever stayed in. Hubby and I had the best week!
This was a return visit and was every bit as nice as the first time. A perfect spot for a single guest (me) or a couple. Very comfortable living spaces and a well equipped kitchen for those so inclined. The screened porch was a great place to relax and the view overlooking the canal and marsh were very nice, even on a rainy sloppy day. Will be staying again.
Exceptional experience. Beautiful villa. (5 star accommodations). Villa owners went above and beyond to ensure my stay met all expectations.
I absolutely loved this lovely villa aka: "Fripper Upper." It was incredibly clean, included everything one would need when you'reaway from home, and that lovely view was truly magical! Shannan is a wonderful and very receptive host. She will answer any and all questions and help be a problem solver. I can't wait to go back again! ???? ??????
