Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori M. 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location This house was a great place to stay to fish in the canal out back and cross the road to the beach. We had a great vacation with ages from 3 to 80 in the house. My only not 5 star would be the comfort of furniture in main living areas, especially for the grandmothers, but otherwise the owners were so helpful with any questions and handling a A/C issue without interrupting any fun. Thank you for sharing your home with us. ##### Lori M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin H. 6 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location across from beach This was actually the second time my family and I had stayed at this property. Since there is a separate apartment with a living room, kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom, we found it to be convenient when traveling with teens who could stay in there and have their own space. The property was clean and comfortable and is a perfect location right across the street from the beach. It came with an electric golf cart in great condition, and tons and tons of beach chairs, body boards and other beach supplies. My family and I had a wonderful time and would love to stay again. ##### Erin H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### zanne a. 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great Location The location can’t be beat as it’s right across from the beach and close to all of the Fripp activities. Property is in rough shape (beat-up old furniture, squeaky beds) and the cleaning left a lot to be desired. For what we paid, we were expecting the property to be a bit nicer. Property management group was very responsive… I communicated with them about the cleaning issues and they responded right away. If you’re not looking for anything fancy and want to be walking distance to the beach, you will like this place. ##### zanne a. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin H., Decatur, Ga 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house close right across from beach My family and I love going to Fripp, and we had a great time at this house! Great location, with the beach access almost directly across the street (one house down). The main living area and 3 bedrooms (and a bathroom for each bedroom) are on the top level, and there is a separate apartment on the ground level with its own entrance thru the garage that has a fridge, microwave (no stove) and 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and living area that we found perfect for the teens. The home was clean and comfortable. We had a few questions when we arrived and the management was very fast to respond. I would recommend this property and would stay again. :) ##### Erin H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael E. 24 May 2023 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Disappointing The picture misrepresents the actual furnishings, age, and condition of the property. Based upon the pictures, we were expecting a much nicer home. Overall it was average. Furniture was mismatched and not what was represented. The deck and outside areas were worn and dirty. Ceiling fans on the deck were old, off balance, and loud... could not use them. Not sure it had been thoroughly cleaned. Kitchen counter and bath tub/ shower was dirty. Needed some routine maintenance. The screen was torn on the front door. The deck door did not align with closure allowing some bugs in during the evening. The towel racks fell off the wall in all three bathrooms when towels were placed on them. Location on the island was nice. The use of the golf cart was a nice perk. Property manager was helpful assisted with a miscommunication concerning boat storage. Originally we were told we could keep a boat at the home, but learned upon arrival with the boat that the HOA does not allow boat storage at the homes. Property manager was responsive and helpful in resolving. ##### Michael E. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023
