Why the Owner Chose Ocean Creek, Fripp Cottages
We live in the beautiful town of Beaufort, only 16 miles from Fripp Island. The beach in this part of the lowcountry is the most beautiful beach on the Atlantic. We wanted a vacation property a short distance from us for our children and grandchildren and friends to enjoy. We did not want Hilton Head as it has grown too big and too crowded. We like that we can walk on the beach and feel like we are on a secluded island in the Caribbean, and yet be only an hour and a half from Savannah or Charleston. We also like the superb golf courses and tennis facilities on the island. The restaurant food is excellent also.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Deer abound through out the island. It is a kid's paradise. The island is secure and your children can have a lot more freedom than in a more crowded vacation location. If you like shopping, dining, exploring ante-bellum homes or just relaxing, Fripp is in the middle of all this. And it is much more reasonable than similar island vacation resorts.
Downtown..... great shopping and a wonderful Waterfront Park and children's playground.
Owner's Map of Ocean Creek, Fripp Cottages
We are Linda and Ken. We moved back to Beaufort in the mid 90s. Linda grew up in Beaufort and has always called it home, even when we were not living here. Our family loves the area and our grandchildren think this is their home, although they and their parents live in North Carolina. We like the lowcountry atmosphere, the beauty of Beaufort and the family-friendly atmosphere at Fripp. We also love the best beach on the East coast. We love to travel so we get to see vacation properties in other locations. But we always put the SC Lowcountry at the top of our list.

My family stayed here July 3-10, 2010! We have stayed in many houses on Fripp and this is the first and only house that has an air conditioner that actually cools the house! The location is perfect..very easy to get to the beach and pools..and very convenient with the included golf cart. The house and furnishings were very comfortable and clean. One very nice touch that we loved, was there are several paintings of Fripp Island that a relative of the owners had painted many years ago...you could just feel the family's love of the island! We were so happy with this house that we immediately booked for the summer of 2011!

Our experience at Fripp for the past 4 years was very comfortable. The house is as advertised and the property is well kept. The owner is very good about fixing any problem that did arise. The house is clean and well-maintained.I would recommend this vacation place to everyone. There is plenty to do on the Island and you are only a 10 minute walk from the beach. I've played the two golf courses and found them very challanging. It;s a great place for a getaway vacation!

Where to begin, we stayed for 5 nights 7/17 thru 7/21/2010. The cottage is in need of repair very badly. If there had been somewhere else to stay, we would have let the owner keep the money and went elsewhere. The shower in the master bath wouldn't drain correctly, water well over your ankles before you finished. The shower curtain had nasty mildew all over it. The ceiling in the master bath (upstairs) was also mildewed. There were NO WASHCLOTHS in the entire cottage. Owner told us to "make do" for the first night and he "guaranteed" us we'd have some before noon the next day "if he had to bring them out himself". He did bring them around 5 pm the next day after yet ANOTHER phone call to him. The cottage was nasty-the carpets are stained and there was dust over an inch deep on the smoke alarm for the upstairs bedroom (the one for the downstairs bedrooms was hanging from the ceiling by wires). The dishwasher was standing full of water and didn't work (the smell was horrible), there was a bucket of nasty, stinky water under the garbage disposal under the sink (not sure why-sink leaking??) There was a plumbers card on the "desk" with a note on it stating he'd be back in a few days to begin the work??? The entire house needed a good renovation and painting, both inside and out. There were holes in the wall around the tub in the left bedroom where it has been replaced and no trim work put around it. The kitchen was supposed to be "fully stocked" with pots/pans but we were afraid to use any of them due to their appearance/condition. The outside was no better as the trim work of the house is in bad need of cleaning/painting. To top it all off, our last full day there we saw roaches-the 2 inch long variety no doubt. As I said before, I would not recommend this cottage to anyone. Fripp Island is one of the greatest places I have visited on a beach vacation, please don't let this review stop you from going there. If we could have moved to one of the other cottages that are well kept, like most on the island appear to be, everything would have been perfect. This cottage too can be made to be great, but will require some serious remodeling before I would stay there again. We usually vacation at the Gulf of Mexico but were afraid of the oil and booked this trip instead. We really wish the cottage had been better, it would have made this a vacation to remember for all the RIGHT reasons instead of the horrible cottage we stayed in!
Owner response:Updated as of 3/31/2011: Unfortunately these renters did not take the time to voice their concerns to us so they could be corrected while they were at our Fripp home even though we were at the home to meet them while they were at Fripp. An adjustment was offered to these renters and they declined. Future renters can be assured of the following: 1. A new shower has been installed in the bath the renters mentioned. 2. All of the carpets have been shampooed. 2. The entire home has received a complete cleaning that takes three days. 4. All of the appliances have been repaired as necessary. 5. A new garbage disposal and switch have been installed. 6. All linens have been replenished. 7. A new entertainment center has been installed in the living area. 8. We have instituted a system to reduce renter shortages and deterioration of our home and increase the enjoyment of our renters. 9. We are continuing our practice of keeping our renters 100% satisfied and making adjustments when they are not for valid reasons. We urge all prospective renters to speak with us or email us with questions before renting. We also suggest you read the other comments about our property. We know you will be happy to stay with us.

My family loved the property which was a perfect location for any island activity. We stayed during the Memorial Holiday and we all had a great time and hope to use the cottage again in the future. Miller/Turner Family
