About this house rental
Boardwalk to the Beach only 1 house away.
Enjoy uncrowded beaches, fishing, boating, and bike paths all over the island.
Fripp Island is a wildlife sanctuary, with deer grazing in the yards, over 170 species of birds, alligators in the lakes, dolphins playing in the waves, and Loggerhead sea turtles nesting and hatching on the shores.
The main house is 3BR2BA with beds for 8.
There is a 1BR1BA guest house approximately 10 few feet behind the main house that you may rent for an additional fee per week. This has a queen in the bedroom and a twin in the LR/DR/kitchen area..
I try to rent from a Saturday OR to a Saturday during the summer season because that's when I have to make almost all my income for the year, and that's when most weekly guests wish to arrive/depart. If I "cross the week-end" I'm much more likely to end up with little pockets of days that are very difficult -- or impossible -- to rent. My goal is to avoid short pockets of unrented days and also to allow people looking for a full week to be able to rent from Saturday to Saturday.
I am not offering amenity cards this year and, as far as I know, the only way to get them is through a home owner who is offering them.
Golf cart rented separately.

Golf cart made a huge difference. Loved bringing the dog with us! Flexible owner as we left to escape the hurricane then came back when all was clear. She had availability, so we stayed longer. Just looking for a place to relax and enjoy? This was it for us!
4.0 / 5.0
Property was exactly as described. It was a bit dated, but clean, comfortable, and close to the beach. The golf cart worked properly without any problems. The host was extremely responsive with all of our questions or requests. I would definitely rent this property again. The only reason I did not give five stars in every area was the lack of ability to get amenity cards. With the new management, lack of amenity cards is very hampering for activities and available, fripp necessities. hoping amenity cards will be reconsidered in the future.

Nice place, clean. Close to ocean.
3.0 / 5.0
Great to be close to beach and allowed to bring a dog. The property, itself, is poorly kept and at a barely acceptable level of cleanliness.

Golf cart and bicycles made it great!
Close to beach!

Property owner was very attentive and gave me updates on the property prior to our arrival. Was dismayed to see that the pictures posted online were not an accurate description of what the property currently looks like. Furniture in family room is completely different and not as nice, bedroom was different as well. Also upon arrival we had to sweep ceilings and floor for cobwebs and dead bugs. Cleaning crew needs a lot to be desired which I relayed to property owner.

My friend is recovering from heart surgery and we thought a beach retreat would be perfect medicine. Things I wish I knew. The ocean is a long walk from the house. The stairs to the front entrance were an unwelcome surprise as my friend is also struggling with a hip injury. The house left the impression that the bear minimum was being done, to keep it rent worthy. However, the weather was perfect and we had all we needed to have a wonderful time!

To be up front, I never write negative reviews because I don’t want to hurt someone’s source of income but, our stay at this house was so horrific that I feel compelled to warn others.
First there was the stench that we struggled to get rid of because the screens in the house were so bent and filled with holes that we couldn’t open most of the windows (it smelled like cat urine and, after a few days, like a dead animal).
Then there was something large in the floor scratching and chewing.
Finally, my sister went to turn on the tub and a huge black blob came out with the water and it turned out to be hundreds of ants. I can’t even tell you how disgusting it was. It happened again the next day.
If this house were inexpensive, I might not have expected much but the exorbitant price of the property (it's not even on the beach) is a lot to spend on a house that is in dire need of repair and has a bad critter problem. Other than that, it was well-enough equipped. Bev was responsive but ineffective. She offered me a 10% refund if I didn’t put up a negative review but it wasn’t enough to convince me not to post this.

Family and I had a wonderful time at this home.
4.0 / 5.0
I came with my brother and his family who had been to Fripp several times before. I was so excited to get to enjoy the amenities that Fripp had to offer; but unfortunately was not able to as Fripp Island requires amenity cards. I do not fault the owner of our property. However, I feel that iif people buy to live there and visitors pay to visit there; they should have access to everything Fripp has to offer. That was disappointiing for me and my kids. I love seeing the deer and the beauty that Fripp has to offer.

Renting was easy the property location was great and the owner was very responsive. Hurricane Dorian caused us to cut our visit short. Hope to return some day
1.5 / 5.0
There were several disappointing factors: 1) Misleading ad 2) Refrigerator reeked of fish 3) Not as clean as I would have expected 4) One of the bedrooms was very cramped (-double bed and bunk beds)
