About Property Manager
We visited Fripp Island for the first time in 2000. We came back a month later and bought our first home here. That is a 3 bedroom home on the Ocean Creek Golf Course, VRBO listing #18539. Simply said, we fell instantly, head-over-heels in love with Fripp. In the beginning we lived on the East Coast and were able to spend a great deal of time here. Eventually we moved to the mid-west and that first home became a rental. I enjoy the rental business so much--especially introducing First Time Fripp Island Guests to Fripp that we have over the years purchased 3 additional homes. 15 years later I still love what I do and I still have several guests from those early years that return to stay in my homes year after year.
Property Manager purchased this House in 2003
Why Property Manager chose Fripp Island
We own 4 homes on Fripp Island, including 2 large ocean front homes, but Bikini Bottom is the one we choose stay in when we visit Fripp. It is spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for us, our grown children and their friends (and hopefully, someday, a handful of grandchildren). It is just steps away from the beach access and is close to the Beach Club, the Adult Pool, Food Court and The Sandbar. As spacious as it is, we do plan to add a second master suite in the fall of 2017. This will bring the total number of bedrooms to 5 and the number of full baths to 4. At that time we will also expand the kitchen and possibly add a screened porch. Eventually, our remaining homes will be sold but Bikini Bottom is where we will someday retire and spend our leisure years.

Broken down!
This guest did call to report the dishwasher not running. I called the repair company, but with Fripp Island being as remote as it is, I was unable to get the repair company to the house before their departure.
They did not report a problem with the garbage disposal until the end of the week and as soon as they called to report this, the plumber was there within 2 hours to fix it. It was overloaded and clogged with food waste.
The guests did not report a problem with the golf cart until the morning of their departure. They were almost an hour late checking out which delayed the housekeeping staff, so I called them to see when they thought they might be leaving. They claimed they were late because the golf cart broke down. They had not reported any issues or problems with the golf cart prior to my call to them. The second of the two golf carts on site is an emergency back up cart and is stored in a private utility area that the guests do NOT have permission to access. This cart was NOT there for their use, nor was a second cart promised or offered with the rental. They did NOT HAVE PERMISSION to drive it that is why there was no key or charger provided for it.
There is a vacuum cleaner kept in the laundry room for the guests to use, it can do pretty much any job that a broom will do.
The only reports of damage/issues these guests made during their stay were the dishwasher (and I’m very sorry we were not able to repair it during their stay) and the garbage disposal (which was fixed within a matter of hours) and the golf cart (the morning of their departure). They did not report any other problems, if they had, these would have been addressed during their stay.
I’m sorry these guests were not happy with the rental, we fixed both the dishwasher and garbage disposal as quickly as we were able to. We were not notified of any other issues or we would have taken care of them as well. I feel it is important to note-the guests the week prior to and just after this guest’s stay did not have any issues with the other items mentioned.
Relaxing Stress Free
Thank you for your review, Helen! We look forward to having you and your family as guests for years to come.

Location
The home itself is located just steps from the center island area of the beach. LITERALLY JUST STEPS FROM THE BEST BEACH AROUND. Fripp Island is a fantastic place for vacations including all age ranges. From 8 months to 80 years—your entire family will enjoy this special place. Frpp Island is both a nature preserve and resort in one. Enjoy a morning walk on the beach and watch the Fripp Island Turtle Team scout for signs of new nests. The deer and birds are everywhere. And we do have our fair share of alligators. The Fripp Island Club offers resort amenities at their finest. There are two championship golf courses, a tennis club, several pools and restaurants to choose from. There is a fee for access to the Fripp Island Club and as owners we are proud to be Club Members with the ability to offer you this opportunity. Our beach home is located just outside beautiful Beaufort, SC. The Beaufort area boasts many art, dining and historical offerings. Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC are each just a bit further away and make excellent day trip excursions from Fripp Island. These cities also have the closest commercial airports. We are super convenient to the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot. We are proud to offer a discount to the families attending their loved-one's Marine Corp Graduation.
