This is a simple beach house that served our purposes for our trip. We stayed here for a few days while doing some fishing on Fripp Island and the house is totally adequate. Communication with rental agency was excellent and there were no problems or surprises. If you are looking for a "low-frills" rental on Fripp Island, this is a good bet.

The location of this property is very good and the layout is good but needs some serious updates. We knew this going in but our options were limited and the price was right. The house has a mildew smell that is very strong and everyone's allergies kicked in. There is no where near the entrance to wash the sand off so by the time you walk from the hose to the entrance your feet are covered in sand again and carried into the house. Tree roots need to be addressed, the kids tripped and fell many times. There were sheets on the beds but no top sheets and am sure the comforters were not washed so had we not washed them we would have slept with a cover on us that many others have used, very gross... House was very hot and stuffy. There were DVD players with each TV but none were able to be hooked up. Tide Watch had a Tech Help person come to assist. He was excellent. He had to buy a cable for the main TV to connect the DVD player there was no way to connect the DVD player to the TV in the main bedroom. All of my calls and experiences with Tide Watch Vacations was excellent and they were very responsive and helpful.

The location of the property relative to the beach and pools was great. The inside of the property was clean and as expected, except for one issue we had with the shower in the master bedroom. The outside surroundings of the property fell short of expectations. Although there was a small patio on the back and a small patio on the front they were not what I expected (i.e. view and surroundings). The access to the house from the parking spaces was difficult due to large stone steps, tree roots, and sand. There was a water faucet on the side of the house to rinse your feet and shoes from sand, but only sand from the faucet to the house, which rendered the process useless.

We enjoyed our vacation to Fripp Island. The house is an older house, so with that you get older furniture and creaky floors. I think it all added to the charm. The location of the house is great. A very short walk to the beach. Plus deer visit the back yard. The rooms are all very large giving this home a very big feel! It was more than enough space for my family of 5. We rented a golf cart since one is not provided, highly recommended the golf cart. We were please with the home and our stay. For the price you can not beat this home. We do have a few improvement suggestions. Thankfully it was a very cool week while we visited. Having the AC only go down to 75 would never work for us in the summer. I think that needs addressed. The TV’s were old and tiny. Only the living room and master had a tv. The kitchen is not well stocked. It needs upgraded pot, pans, etc etc. I would rent this house again, but if those 3 items were fixed it would make for a much better vacation!

It would be nice if you’d provide trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper. The house could use some general love and sprucing up.

The property was clean, quiet (though on a very busy road), and super close to beach access. Had a great time and a wonderful stay.

Enjoyed our stay. Steps from the beach.

Nice location, only problems were low water pressure and could use more and better pans for cooking, we had a great time loved the island , overall great vacation

Need to fix/upgrade a few things but house was nice, sizable and great location (IMO). I might be a little spoiled to large screen TV's and they're not that expensive anymore so that addition would be good (rainy days and after the beach).

After booking was informed of the a.c. setting not to be over 72 degrees. The house was very warm at night even with the fans. Close to the beach 🌴� which was very nice with a number of deer visiting every day. We would stay again.

This property was excellent. Big enough for 8 (although we only had 2). The house had nice beds, along with everything you'd need for the trip. A short 1-2 minute walk to the beach was perfect. It's also about a 3 minute walk to one of the 4 places to eat/swim. Definitely recommended for couples, families, and any other group who likes a great location on a gorgeous island.

I first rented this house in 1989. It is still just as charming!

My family of four stayed in this home for a week-long vacation on Fripp Island. We chose it to be close to friends who had rented a beach-front home just around the corner on Yellow Perch, and because the price was so affordable. Everything about this home is as described here. There are two very convenient beach access points less than 2 minutes' walk away. The resort is five minutes away, with tennis, pools, food court, restaurants, bar, etc. Our friends recommended renting a golf cart, which we did and greatly enjoyed (the scavenger hunt from the activity center was so fun!). The home suited our family (mom, dad, two elementary-aged kids) just perfectly. The owners have begun renovating a few things (master bath), and they have done a great job making the whole place comfortable. I wanted to stay longer just to read some of the books on the shelves, truly a bookworm's dream! I recommend bringing plastic storage containers for food with you and any specific kitchen items you plan to use. We found mostly everything we needed, but this kitchen is not as full of various pots, pans, and dishes as some other vacation homes we have rented. The DVD and book collection are outstanding, bring games with you if that is something you enjoy doing (we did not find games in the house, but we did find a fun puzzle we assembled!). Since the home is older, we did run into a couple of things that needed a little maintenance, but nothing that detracted from our vacation (leave a note when you go to help out the owners!). Overall, we loved this home, and would certainly return if we vacation on Fripp again!

Overall my stay was well. There were some initial issues. Our check in time was 4:00 and the cleaning crew was still there at 6. When we entered the house and it didn’t even smell clean. Twin befspreads appeared soiled. Dishes in the cabinets were not clean. The rugs in the entry room and dining room were dirty. There were no cleaning products available in the home which resorted to a trip to Beaufort. After I cleaned up some, our stay was enjoyable. We knew the house was a bit dated and that was fine. The location was wonderful. Would suggest some casserole type dishes for the kitchen and basic cleaning materials including dish cloths and soaps.

Quite nice

We absolutely love Fripp Island! We enjoy the beach and all the pools, riding around on the golf cart in the evenings and the kids love playing on the playgrounds. This house was in a great location within walking distance to the beach. Two amenity cards were included which you will need! A golf cart is not included..but is available for rent on the island. The house was just the right size for our group of 5. I gave four stars because the water in the shower of the master bathroom could not be regulated one minute it would be freezing and the next it would be really hot! (This needs some attention I think I saw in an earlier review where someone else had complained about the same thing!) The only other thing I would advise would be to take some bug spray, the mosquitos are really bad outside in front of the house!!! You will also need it if you have kids and are going to be on the playgrounds, mosquitos are really bad there too. Would stay here again!!!

We stayed 5/28/18-6/2/18. The house was great! It was roomy enough for our family of four, my brother and his girlfriend, and my mother. This was our first visit to Fripp Island and it was really nice. The beach was beautiful, pools were nice, and it was very family friendly. The house was very centrally located to the main resort buildings and pools. The only draw backs were we had some issues with keeping it cool inside the first day, but was able to work it out with the rental company and I really wish there was an outside area for washing off the sand. With that being said we would stay here again. We rented bikes, paddle boards, and golf cart during our stay. The guy at the paddle board place was super friendly. Highly recommend stopping by there!!

The house was great. We had everything we needed. It was at the best part of the beach. We loved it.

House was clean. Close to the beach. Enjoyed our stay--lots to do on Fripp Island and surrounding areas--this was our second trip to Fripp. HomeAway was very easy to work with.

House was older home but exactly as seen in pictures. Living room area was more spacious then we thought. Access to the beach was super easy. The house was right next to the pool/clubhouse which was nice and convenient as we had two little ones. A few things that could have been better: - for having to pay a cleaning fee, the house had Cobb webs on night tables/lamps, comforters were sandy when you laid on the bed and the sheets on one bed had a clump of hair. Also the trash was not taken out of one of the bathrooms from the previous tenant. - refrigerator was leaking so we contacted number we were told to call for any issues. A gentlemen called us back and said maintenance person would be contacted in morning. No one ever called back or came by to take a look at it. We kept a towel on the ground to prevent slips or further leaking. -the DVD player in the living room did not work which was a bummer as it rained good bit and we had young ones. - the water in the master bathroom would fluctuate from either super hot or cold. It was difficult to get luke warm water and for it to stay luke warm Besides those few items, the stay was fun, the island has lots to see/do. I would highly recommend a golf cart as it was enjoyable to ride around seeing the deer on the island!

We have been coming to Fripp Island for years but usually stay in North Hampton. We decided to stay somewhere different and are very glad we did. You can not beat the location of this house right next to The Beach Club Pools, Food Court, and the Beach Access is very accessible. The house was well equipped for our family of 6 and the management company was very responsive and easy to work with from booking to any questions we had. We look forward to our stay next year!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our time on Fripp Island. This property was very central to everything. We were a short walk to the beach, pool, and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to our next stay.

Our family stayed at this location over the week of July 4th. We have stayed at Fripp for many years and this house was a great find. Just a block away from the beach which was great for our small kids and Ocean Club is just next door so you can walk over at any time. House is a little dated but over all was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. No golf cart included but for us no big deal as we bring our own. Overall pleased and will stay again.
