Best location! Great house!

Phenomenal experience. I loved working with Merissa. We didn’t need the resort card after all because our kids loved the beach. I don’t know that you could find a better beach house.

Perfect Place!

We take a family vacation every other year and I don’t think we could have chosen a better place! Fripp Island is beautiful, the house was exactly what we needed and beach was clean and relatively quiet!

Told we couldn’t stay in house the day before we were to arrive

We were told on Friday the day before we were to arrive that we could not stay in the house due to the elevator needing to be fixed. We did not need the elevator!!!!! They put us is a 4 bedroom condo which was cramped. We had no choice to take the condo because plane tickets And vacations had already been bought and taken. Still very angry about the whole situation. Makes me not want to rent threw VRBO again.

Very good house but will not use VRBO again

Furious about VRBO charge. I thought that there was a cap on charges. Will not be using VRBO or Home Away again.

Perfect Place to Stay

We just got back from staying here and not only was the house amazing, the location on the island is perfect and the rental company was amazing to work with. Literally steps from the beach, the most amazing sunsets off the front porch and gorgeous sunrises from the back deck, plenty of room for multiple families. We will definitely be staying here again.

Amazing house!!

This is an amazing house! The location is perfect and the view is breathtaking! Not sure the pictures even do it justice! The downstairs kitchen and living area is big and has lots of seating so it was good for our multiple family group! The back deck and seating on the walkway to the beach were our favorite spots! At one point we thought a golf cart wasn’t working properly and Bob had someone come out *immediately* to look at it so that was great! Very responsive. Make sure to bring things like dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and paper towels. There were plenty of cooking and other utensils. Even had some awesome beach toys at the house! Overall, this house was everything we needed and wanted. We will absolutely be back!

Great property, great location!

We've vacationed on Fripp for many years. South Tarpon is our favorite summertime location on the island. This is a great house in the perfect location. Far enough down the island to be away from all the hubbub, but with great full time beach. The bedroom layout is great for a big extended family, and the kitchen/living area is spacious and modern. The upkeep on this house is excellent, the owners obviously take great pride in their home. I do wish there were a rug or two in the house. I know the sand is a beast with rugs, but it really dampens the noises in a big, wood floored home. But overall, this is a great house. We See 'Um Management is great with communication, and super prompt with anything you need.

Loved the property!

Great location and enough space for our two children and their families! It is currently for sale, and I imagine the owner is not keeping up with everything. I would suggest putting more lighting in the great room. We were fine for the time we stayed, but some overhead lighting or another lamp would help. Other than that we fared fine! We liked the way the bedrooms were spaced, and the kitchen was comfortable to use. The ice maker needs some attention. If we go again, we'll take more ice and a few kitchen utensils. These are really minor compared to the wonderful location and layout of the house. We would love to go back to this house again!
