Lovely week at Marshmellow! Property is as lovely as it looks. Owners were great communicators when we had questions. And they have everything you need to enjoy Fripp and the beaches. No hesitation in recommending this wonderful property.
This home provided a comfortable place for kids and adults. The views from the back porch were amazing. The 6 passenger golf carts were so appreciated.
We had a wonderful stay and the house was perfect. It had great amenities and was well stocked with everything a family will need. The communication with the host was excellent and she was very attentive and quick to respond to all questions. I will absolutely try to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended.
What a great place to unwind and enjoy family and friends. The house is lovely and can accommodate a large extended family. Fripp island is a gem. There are so many things to do in island you would never have to leave.
This is our third stay at Marshmellow and as usual it was an awesome experience. Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful well appointed home. Our family enjoys coming every year. Canāt wait until 2025!
The home is spectacular!!! Amenities were great and it has the most well-equipped kitchen of any rental I've had! Only suggestion would be that the screen be replaced on the main level back porch and another chair or two on that porch. We loved sitting out there!!! I would absolutely rent again if we go to Fripp another time!!!
Everyone had a great time! The house is in a perfect location, and the bikes and golf carts included are a huge plus!! We have stayed at Fripp many times, and this is now one of our favorite houses!
Beautiful house able to accommodate two families totaling 13 people. Everyone rated our vacation a 10 out of 10! We were traveling with kids 8-16 years old plus 4 adults. The island was beautiful. We will be back for sure!
This home is beautiful and was a great asset to our vacation. 91 year old Dad was able to use the elevator and golf carts were extra handy, especially with handicapped access availability on the beach. The screened porch in back was a great morning coffee/bird watching/family gathering spot. ABSOLUTELY recommend this place!
This is our second stay at Marshmellow and it exceeded all expectations. Check-in was easy, and the home is wonderful and accommodated all of our family! There was a slight issue with the dishwasher but the host addressed it promptly and to our satisfaction. We are looking forward to returning as this experience never disappointsā
We needed a place with private BRs/BAs and an elevator. This place was perfect. The home had been modified to allow wheelchair mobility. We spent mornings on the screen porch, days at the pool or beach, and evenings relaxing in the den. Kitchen was well stocked. Great marsh views and responsive host. We will be back!
Our family comes to Fripp every summer- first time at this location- it was great! Very nice house, plenty of room for all the family and amazing marsh views. Will definitely be back!!
The owners are very attentive and will answer and address any issues right away!

This is the perfect home for family gatherings and for members of your family that need assistance. The elevator and golf carts with handicap decals allowed family to enjoy the beautiful beach at Fripp. My parents want to know the mattress company name for the bedding in the master bedroom on the first floor. They said ābest sleep ever! ā
This is a lovely home in a great location. We especially loved the views off of the front and back porches. The owners were very helpful and kind and the house was decorated well and comfortable. The elevator is a nice addition if your handicapped person can walk a distance as it is in the back of the garage. We were traveling with senior parents one of which who needs a cane/roller walker which is why we looked for a house with an elevator. I will say that the front bedroom my parents used was very tight and my dad could not use his roller walker because the king bed (which was very comfortable I might add) took up so much room that he could not get around it with a walker. The bathroom has a handicap bar but the toilet is low and the shower is regular size which is hard for a handicap person. It is great for regular folks!
The other note I would add is that there are large dressers in the bedroom closets which makes it tight and you can't hang up all your clothes unless you are in the 3rd floor master bedroom. The upstairs bunk room is great for younger kids but we have teenage boys and the beds were a little small for older kids. Also the closet was taken up by a dresser and TV so it was cramped not having a place to hang your clothes and store your bags.
The description included a desk and work area in the upstairs master bedroom but that was not the case when we got there.
It is a beautiful place and we would stay again with a smaller party. Thank you!
This is our fourth year visiting Marshmellow and as usual this beautiful home and caring hosts never disappoints. Thanks again for making our annual visit to the Low Country enjoyable and restful!
I would recommend anyone to stay here! Place was clean and had everything we needed and extras (eg., game room, bikes, two golf carts) Also loved that you had beach chairs, good beach chairs actually so that I didn't have to bring any. We also liked the view and spending time out back.
Had everything we needed and then some. Great location and a great marsh view with excellent sunsets on the large party deck. Plenty of beach equipment and bikes. The game room was well used.
We have enjoyed the beauty of Fripp Island for many years, but this trip was enhanced with the luxuries of this rental. Accommodations were perfect and attention to detail appreciated. Joan was a perfect hostess if questions arose; home offered more than expected. This has raised the bar for future trips to the island we love to visit. We will be back!
