Reviews
259 Tarpon was a great house to rent for our family of 7. I love the starters that they thought of, like baby stuff and kitchen stuff, so that we could function without having to pack alot of stuff. The kids, various ages, all enjoyed the bottom level with Cornhole, table tennis and golf cart rides. The adults enjoyed the multiple patios and fully furnished Keurig. I think it'd be great to offer soap and more toilet paper so we wouldn't have to make last minute store runs, but overall, we enjoyed our Christmas visit.

Thank you for your review! We are happy that you and your family enjoyed a special fun Christmas at 259 Tarpon! We have added more of the items you mentioned.
We enjoyed our stay at 259 Tarpon! House was very well stocked, plenty of towels, dishes, blankets and stuff for the beach! We loved the screened in porch! Our biggest complaint is the lack of lighting in the downstairs garage area. There are only string Christmas lights that go around 2 little spots, and motion lights for the other. There are no large lights to turn on and leave on for playing downstairs when it gets dark! Not a deal breaker, but would definitely appreciate some more lighting downstairs!

We are happy you enjoyed your stay at our home. Thank you for your review and your concern about the lighting. We have felt this way, too, and have been able to recently add more lighting. We agree about the screen porch. It is our favorite, too !
259 Tarpon was an awesome family home. We loved the screened porch. The under house area was perfect and much cooler. My grandson loved it. The golf cart that comes with the house was very nice!

Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed your visit and made special memories there!
We have stayed on Fripp for at least one week going on 25 years. We have stayed in various homes with various ratings. We were extremely impressed with the level of household amenities in this house. Far beyond what we expected. Very nice.
