Bookin' It
You can book your stay at Carolina Girl through VRBO or FrippIslandStay.com. You'll find more pictures, descriptions, and information on availability on those sites. FrippIslandStay charges you lower fees, and is better at handling Fripp Island logistics with gate passes and club cards, but we get it if you are more comfortable with VRBO...it's all good!
The Praise
The best vacation home you will ever visit! My family of five (three young boys ages 4-9) spent a week at this vacation home and had the BEST time. The home itself is even better in person. The whole home is calming and from the beautiful decor to extra large comfortable towels...You will feel like you are at a luxury hotel. The home was very clean, the beds were extremely comfortable and the layout is spacious.

We loved our stay at 77 Ocean Creek! The house was clean and well designed. Kitchen was fully stocked with any cookware & appliances we needed. We loved getting to crab and fish at night off the dock. There were plenty of activities at the house such as games, bikes, kayaking, Bocci, and more. The quick convenience to the beach made it so much easier with a 7 month old. The property manager and owners were great to work with and quickly responded with any questions or concerns. We’ve been going to Fripp for years, and this is our new favorite house by far. The golf cart worked perfectly and was fun to ride around on. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time during our latest stay on Fripp Island. Our rental home was great! Clean, comfortable, everything you need and then some! We loved fishing off the dock and riding the golf cart around the island. We enjoyed the company of several deer and beautiful birds daily. There are great decks on both the front and back to enjoy. We also enjoyed eating on the screened in porch. Our host were easy to contact and gave us the best notebook covering everything we needed to know. We all were not ready to leave and look forward to coming back!!

The house is amazing! It is beautifully decorated with high end touches to make it feel plush. Cannot beat the view from all floors overlooking the canal. House was equipped with everything needed to stay in and cook. The entertainment bar is a fun added addition. Ed was very quick to respond, super helpful and made sure we were enjoying our stay. We plan on being back next year to Carolina Girl!

We had a fabulous stay here at Carolina Girl. From the pre-planning to the last day...everything was seamless. Ed and Shelley have the best guest book I have ever seen at a property. This was emailed to us after the booking (and there in the house, too). So many tips and recommendations are included! They even made sure we had a list of all the Thanksgiving activities that were going on that week. The house is absolutely beautiful....wonderful view and stocked with everything we needed. The location was great being right in the middle of everything. Our nine year old daughter had a blast everyday with the many activities going on. It was our first trip to Fripp Island and we would love to go back and stay here at Carolina Girl again!

Great house, breathtaking views. Close to the beach, directly across the street from the golf course. Highly recommend. 10/10.

Perfect getaway! This house is even better than the description. We loved fishing off the dock and all of the outdoor space and seating. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and the accommodations were clean and comfortable! The host Ed was an excellent communicator, and we had an on island property manager for any needs during the week. We will be back to Carolina Girl!

The back porch was my favorite place to sit...the screened in porch kept bugs out but the cool wind in. It was beyond relaxing to sit on the couch/chairs either on the upper or lower deck to read and rest. The back porch alone is the reason we will be going back. But even better than the back porch was watching my husband and boys fish and crab off the back deck... There truly aren't words to capture how special this home is...

We had a wonderful time on Fripp! The house was very clean, was in a great location, and had everything we needed. We loved fishing from the dock and watching the tides shift from the back deck. The golf cart was very nice and speedy. We would stay here again for sure.

Clean, bright and beautiful! We enjoyed fishing from the dock and mornings/evenings on the screened in porch the most! The kids loved the bunk beds and “fast golf cart”.

My family enjoyed another wonderful week at Fripp! Carolina Girl was a fabulous rental. The house was beautiful, clean, and accommodating. Having an outdoor shower to use when coming off the beach was wonderful. The golf cart was great too. Can’t wait to go back!

Meet the Crew
Shelley grew up in South Carolina and recalls many family trips to Fripp Island. Shelley introduced Ed to the beach at Fripp, where he met "Daryl the Deer" up close for the first time. Now we both have come to love Fripp for its beach, wildlife, and natural beauty. We are committed to making your stay as enjoyable as we can in the hope you'll find Fripp as charming as we do.
Why "Carolina Girl"?
It may be because we have a University of South Carolina grad in the family. And there's a Tar Heel and Mountaineer too, believe it or not. Or Carolina Girl may be the name of a fantastic tuna tempura sushi covered in salmon and lemon slices. Or it may have come from the song from General Johnson and the Chairmen of the Board that topped the beach music charts. We never really decided why, exactly...the name just felt right.
