Fripp Family Creek House: Private Dock, Deck, Screened Porch, Near Beach & Island Amenities!

We had a lot of fun at the house especially getting to use the dock for my nephew's boat and we even caught a crab in the crab trap! The house was perfect for a family reunion in Beaufort and we had many out-of-towners stay with us. Fridge door had missing shelves and minor issues with a bathroom sink. Otherwise communication was excellent and host response to our few issues was good. It was an added fee to use Fripp Island amenities and that was disappointing, but that applies to any house you rent on the island.

Communication was easy and quick. When we arrived, the house was 83 inside and they had it handled right away but it did take a while for things to cool down. Things were ok otherwise, but I would suggest they fix a few things for future visitors. The downstairs bedroom, to us, was not usable. Thankfully we didn’t need the extra space and everyone slept upstairs because the ceiling down there was full of what looked like water damage/mold and holes and it smelled like mildew. There were also two roaches crawling down there when we first arrived and decided no one would sleep down there. The refrigerator was missing the door shelf bars so we couldn’t use that storage at all for jars, sauces, etc. The pantry light didn’t work. The sink in the shared bathroom upstairs was clogged and unusable. The patio lounge furniture was sun baked and cracking, and the outdoor table was rusting. The rug in the dining room was very stained and gross-looking. Although these things didn’t make our stay terrible, it did make us not want to return to this house. We did enjoy the large, cozy living room and comfortable recliners, as well as the view of the canal where we got to see dolphins jumping and catch some sting rays! But again, a few upgrades would make this place a lot better for future guests.

Great place to have a long weekend....

While we overall enjoyed our trip to Fripp and I feel I need to be transparent about this home. While the home is ok and location is great there are some things that really need some attention. The carpet in the eating area is filthy, air conditioning registers are rusted, hardware missing from cabinetry in bathroom. The downstairs bedroom is not as cool as the rest of the house. The kitchen is small for a home this size which I can overlook that but the refrigerator needs to be larger to accommodate 11 people. There is an extra freezer chest but let’s be honest on vacation a second refrigerator comes in handy for drinks. The outside could definitely use some maintenance. There was trash in some of the landscaping. The dock is great for fishing but don’t expect the sink to work since it’s not hooked up to water. I did message the property manager about this and got no response. Our checkin was delayed by the previous renter and no fault to the property management company but of course they had to rush the cleaning to get us in since we had traveled 12 hours and we had coolers full of food that needed to be refrigerated. I honestly did not report any issues to the property manager because these are all cosmetic and general maintenance of owning a home. At the end of the day we all had a great time. I felt deceived by photos and previous reviews. Sadly I didn’t realize the reviews were from over a year ago.

Thanks so much!

This house was very conveniently located and spacious! We loved having the dock on the creek for fishing and there is a nice yard for the kids to play. Check- in/out instructions were easy and clear.

This property was perfect for our family of six adults (ages ranged from 22 to 72). There was plenty of room for everyone. The house offers great views of the canal and is a short golf cart ride to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, pots, pans, and utensils. The living room was spacious, enough seating for our group. The porches are great, but the outdoor furniture is sun brittle so be careful. The only cons was the cleanliness of the home - it was acceptable but not amazing. Overall, the property was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It was my first trip to Fripp but will not by my last! iTrips was awesome to work with and very knowledgeable and quick to respond. This house had plenty of beds and baths for the 9 of us. We loved sitting out on the dock and just soaking up all of the beautiful sunshine. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Beach accesses and the Marina were very close.

The house was in a great location on the creek. It had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

My family of 4 teenage boys, a 14 month old baby boy and 7 adults really enjoyed staying at the canal house. Lots of room for my big family, gorgeous views of the water, comfortable, fishing, porches, easy access are just a few of the reasons we enjoyed our stay there!
