New Tommy Bahama linens to elevate your stay. The bedrooms are enormous and allow for privacy, while the giant kitchen/island and back deck provide the gathering space for your entire crew. If you've never been to Fripp, it's hard to explain how special the island and beaches are until you see it for yourself; and this home is ideally located to make the most of it. It is very different than your typical, busy Myrtle Beach type of trip. I will provide you with tons of information so you know what to expect and can plan the best trip possible.

Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
