Fripper Upper: 1st Floor, Just for TWO, MARSH Views, FREE Coffee/Tea/Creamer, Club Cards Available!

Often imitated; never duplicated - We're small, but MIGHTY!  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).  Pickleball/tennis courts are in front of the complex with the beach/ocean, adults-only pool and Sandbar, Island Bites food court with food trucks on The Beach Club Greene, The Beach Club Restaurant, 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 just across the street, with MULTIPLE BEACH ACCESSES too!
