1 Bedroom Villa in Saint Helena Island, Fripp Island

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. 2025 introduced a new, improved, and slightly larger screened back porch, a new 3-panel slider glass door, a new rear bedroom window, a new back door, new hardie-plank on the back exterior wall, new subflooring, and fresh interior paint throughout most of the condo. 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 - no hauling luggage up stairs to a bedroom). The beach/ocean, adults-only pool and Sandbar, Island Bites food court with food trucks on The Beach Club Greene, Olympic swimming/lap pool, Island Arcade, gym/fitness center, The Resort's Fripp Ship and Salt & Sea Mercantile souvenir/clothing stores, and the heart of Fripp Island are just across the street, with MULTIPLE BEACH ACCESSES too!

Summary: I messaged our host, and with the most sincerity, told them I take care of so many people in my personal and work lives, that when I walked through the door of the Fripper Upper, I felt like someone was taking care of me.

Summary: Very clean, setup was both modern and beach themed. I loved the decor! dolphins were swimming off the back porch and deer would be there when you wake up. Nothing negative to say about the place. The property Manager Deborah was more than accommodating as she got our amenity cards taken care of in advance and all the helpful information that we could want. perfect and a much needed getaway. would highly recommend 10/10.

Summary: Shannan's condo was the perfect spot for us to celebrate our 18th anniversary and first time to Fripp Island. Extremely clean and exactly as described; the app she created for her guests was most helpful! LOVED the coffee/wine bar; I was completely obsessed w/ seeing all the deer! We had visitors everyday to the condo! Marsh views were incredible and my husband thoroughly enjoyed watching the storms roll in from the back porch. The bed was very comfortable. Location is perfect, especially if you get resort cards to have access to the pools and fitness center! Shannan was available via text if needed and very responsive! Almost NO noise from neighbors! Definitely recommend!!

Summary: For our first visit to Fripp, we stayed at Fripper Upper, which was an immaculate property! The unit was on the marsh, with a wonderful and peaceful view. The unit itself was in pristine condition; newly renovated and super-clean, with all the updates and amenities you could want in a vacation rental. The bedroom was warm and inviting and the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was brand new, was well stocked and had wonderful new appliances! Bathroom, laundry, screened porch and comfy living room....Fripper Upper has it all! Shannan is a great host! She answered all our questions so quickly, and went above and beyond with providing all kinds of information about Fripp and the amenities and services on and off the island. She also provided a Digital Welcome Guide that answered every question you could think of and then some, as well as giving a wealth of information on everything Fripp. This was our first visit to Fripp and Fripper Upper but definitely not our last. We would give it 6 stars if it was an option! Thank you, Shannan, for being such an awesome host...we are looking forward to our next visit!!

Summary: Pictures don’t do it full justice, this place is an amazing experience, and is wonderfully situated between the channel and beach. Shannan was super helpful and kind throughout the whole process, you could really tell they put a lot of effort into making people feel welcomed and at home. 10 stars all around!
