Annual Frye vacation
This is our second year staying on Paddock lane. Watching the deer grazing around the property and taking a leisurely walk to Beach 5 for our dog to swim in the morning are just a few of the highlights afforded during our stay here.

This is our second time staying at the property, and we’re already counting down to next year. It’s about a 5 minute walk to beach 5. Plenty of places to chill, with decks and porches all around. We love it here, and Jim is a great host! 5 stars!

A nice quiet location for vacation
What a great location! So close to the best beaches yet off the beaten path that made relaxing on the farmers porch a joy. As others have said Jim was quick to respond when we had a question about the tv and Internet. Actually my only complaint would be a lack of dependable wifi. But this also forced me to disconnect We liked the house so much we’re already booked for next year!

Lovely week on Frye Island
My family and I had a great weeklong stay at this spacious cabin, which was as pictured. Good, quiet location with Beach 5 and the general store within a 10-15min walk. James was a very responsive host. The cabin had pretty much everything we needed for a comfortable stay, but I’d recommend adding the following to the usual packing list: - Toiletries including soap - Laundry detergent and sheets - Extra toilet paper, paper towel/napkins - Nonstick frying pan - Good wine opener The golf cart was not working when we visited, but that didn’t negatively affect our stay. Be warned- Wifi is extremely slow. Frye Island is a wonderful, special place with clean, inviting water and friendly folks! We can’t wait to come back next year!

Frye Island with Family
There were four of us at this property, but there was definitely room for more. The house and location were as tranquil and peaceful as they look in the pictures. The good: location, space, outdoor space, wonderful areas for gathering, hanging out, etc. size was perfect with all the comforts of home. Jim was a dream to work with. The “meh” - there’s no air conditioning, and it was HOT. The house could have been cleaner, and some things need more TLC/attention paid. (I think whoever is managing the property relies on the fact that the owners are not there to check on it.) The kitchen utensils, pots and pans, etc. are definitely “vacation house” quality. If you’re cooking for a crowd, you should think about bringing your own supplies. The wifi is just not good. You will not be streaming anything, and zoom meetings are out of the question. Overall, though, our stay was wonderful. We’ve already booked for next year! Frye Island is remote and quiet. This is not where you go for nightlife, but if you’re looking for a reasonably priced stay with a beautiful lake and a chill vibe, you’ve found it. The cabin is 0.3 miles from beach 5, an easy walk and close enough to come back for lunch! Highly recommend.

Rest and Relaxation on Frye Island
It was exactly what we wanted. Able to bring the dog and liked fenced in yard. Decks were great for sitting outside. Cooked on grill a lot. Golfed everyday. Spent some time at Beach 5 (grandkids favorite) and Recreation beach(adults favorite). Dog went swimming at beach5.

Island vacation
We enjoyed our stay, even though it rained a lot. We took walks, visited the different beaches, the community center, the store and ice cream take out. A friend game is a ride around the lake in his boat. We played horse shoes in the fenced in back yard, and made s’mores over the fire pit. And we rode a ferry to get to and from the Island. We had use of a golf cart but only used it once. The cabin was as described, with lovely amenities. Thank you to our Hosts!

Great house, extra visitors not fun
Jim’s is the nicest house we have stayed at on Frye, however mice visited the kitchen counters and shelving nightly which was not pleasant. We never had that with other Frye rentals. Locals say the mice are bad this year, but some forewarning would have been good so we could have tightened up our food situation from the beginning. The blackstone grill was covered in mouse poop which was a disappointment, and a daily kitchen disinfection was necessary. Jim was easy to communicate with at first, made sure we got in etc. A day or two later I mentioned the mice to make him aware and received no response. Despite that, we had a great week, and the amenities at the house helped make up for it. The house AC unit and golf cart were excellent additions. WiFi was super fast for remote work, and we really enjoyed the various porches and decks as well as the fenced in yard for our dog. It really is a great house with an excellent location and I would consider staying again.

Fun week on Frye
The house was actually nicer in person than I expected from the photos. It was comfortable and had a nice cabin feel without being too rustic. The layout was great for my group - myself, husband, our 2 year old and our 2 friends. Having the separate porch area made it easy to entertain our 2yo without waking up the others and having 2 bathrooms was key. The location was good. Beach 5 is within walking distance and seems to be one of the more popular beaches. Beach 6 wasn't far and we enjoyed that one as well. Also nice to be able to walk to the store/cafe. It was a shame the golf carts weren't working as that was a major reason I chose this particular property. The kitchen could use some new tools - anything you'd use for cooking (spatulas, large spoons, etc) were pretty flimsy and made it a challenge to cook anything. We had a great week and I plan to come back to Frye next year. Notes for next time: put gas in the car before you get to the island (no gas on the island), we used the car more than expected and got dangerously low on gas! Also I should have brought paper towels and laundry detergent. Overall we had a great time and got a feel for what a special place Frye Island is.

Quiet and comfortable!
I was unaware that the ferry to the property was 35 dollars each round trip. From what I read the most you could pay was 20 dollars. We left the Island about 7 times. 35x7 equals 245 dollars. The owner gave us a one time 15 dollar round trip. The 35 dollars was never explained. Other than this the place was great and I would recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Jim's house. The house was even better than we expected with lots of space,beautiful porches and a fire pit in the side yard. Beach 1 is the shortest walk, so that's where we took the dogs in the mornings for their swim and then with the golf cart we enjoyedany other beaches during the day. We had a great time. Thanks Jim!

What a great property! The house was private, yet still very close to everywhere we wanted to go -- beach, golf course, etc. The covered deck and screened in porch made even the rainy days enjoyable.
