Fripp Island is a great place! We have stayed there before. Wonderful place for children and teenagers. Several pools, the beach, activities all week, most people using golf carts for transportion, and wildlife to enjoy.

The house was very spacious and comfortable. Pictures don't do the house justice-very roomy. We had seven people; 2 adults and 5 15-17 year olds and were very comfortable. It came with a golf cart which was great because you need one there. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and dishes. And there was a charcoal grill.

There were some issues with the house but not anything major enough to upset our stay. Mostly due to general maintenance and cleaning. The wood flooring at the top of the stairs was loose and a hazard for tripping, several of the light bulbs needed to be replaced, water spots on the ceiling upstairs, the solar lights leading to the house were broken, the top portion of the hand rails on the decks (round ends) were broken, etc. The main issue I had was with the cleaning. Although when we walked in it appeared clean, there were issues that soon began to appear. The closets were junky with random stuff that made it hard to put your stuff in. For example the hall closet was about half filled and the downstairs bedroom had most or the bottom closet space taken up with extra flooring. But the the actual cleaning needed to be addressed. There were spiderwebs hanging, the floors looked they had been swiftered but not really cleaned in a while (corners in the kitchen had built up dirt), handprints on windows, the couch had debris under it, and the show stopper - one of the kids found an used diaper under the bed.

We had an issue with the hot water heating breaking and having to be replaced. The owners responded quickly and apologetically. This went smooth and didn't disrupt out stay. They handled this very appropriately.

Final take: I think maybe the owners may need to check up on their maintenance and cleaning people but overall the vacation was a good experience.
