The Fripp Island Experience: Fripp Island is a private, gated coastal community and designated wildlife sanctuary where beach living and nature coexist beautifully. Deer roam freely through the island, blue herons and white egrets gather along the marsh, dolphins swim just offshore, and sea turtles nest on the beaches during the season. The island’s rich birdlife and natural habitat create a peaceful, distinctly Lowcountry setting unlike anywhere else. Golf carts are the preferred way to explore the island’s beach accesses, marina, golf courses, and dining spots, adding to the relaxed coastal rhythm that makes Fripp truly one of a kind.Club cards are required to enjoy any of the Fripp Island Resort amenities and they are available for purchase with this property. If you opt to purchase cards, a new 12.8% resort fee based on the rental amount before taxes, cleaning and other fees will be charged in addition to the cost of the individual Club cards.

Check in was so easy!! The house was just like it was pictured and said to be. House was so clean.. Fully stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. Well stocked with towels, beach towels and beach chairs. Easy access to the beach and the view from the house of the beach was awesome. My family has stayed in different houses for 6 years now.This one is truly the BEST!! We will definitely be booking again for next year. Vinie B

This house is great for a big gathering. Lots of indoor and outdoor space, next to the beach.Kitchen is great also for feeding a crowd. Lots of dishes, utensils etc! Dryer broke and they were able to get a replacement on Labor Day weekend which was a lifesaver.I highly recommend

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2022
The day we arrived the temperatures were in the upper nineties. Apparently the air conditioning had not been turned on which meant the house was stifling hot. Although the upper floor cooled fairly quickly, the main floor never went below 81 degrees. Sleeping that night was miserable. We tried opening the two patio doors in 2 of the main floor bedrooms that looked out to the ocean, hoping for a sea breeze, but one had a sign on it saying it was unsafe to open and the other was stuck and could not be opened until the following day after several attempts. The morning after arrival we called the property manager about the AC. 2 workmen arrived at 2PM told us the the filter was old and clogged which caused the unit to freeze up. A new filter was put in but we were told we had to wait until 6 PM to turn the unit back on. This meant we had NO cooling on the main floor all day of our second day. Finally, late that night the bedrooms, kitchen and living areas began to cool. In addition to the cooling problem there was the issue of mold in the ceiling on the second floor which could easily be smelled as one ascended the stairs to the bedrooms on the second floor. Outside the dining area there had once been a screened in porch. However, the screens had been removed. It was impossible to sit on the deck for any length of time to view the ocean without being bitten by mosquitoes. The 3rd night of stay, my husband and I walked into our bedroom to find what looked like flying ants all over our bed, walls, and carpet. They also were in the bathroom. It took us about 45 minutes to remove most of the insects but a number remained during the night which made sleeping difficult. This house was probably a nice house at one time but presently is not well maintained and certainly was not worth the amount of money paid to rent it. Our family has been going to Fripp since 2006 and love it. We will return there but we would not rent this house again.
