We stayed at 727 Seahorse Rd over Labor Day weekend, booked through Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort. This was our 6th annual trip to Fripp Island. This was the most expensive place we have ever stayed, and it was terrible. I have a 3 month old infant and a 3 year old, so I tried to log/ photograph what I could. I don't have pictures of everything. This property had several major concerns and was not safe for children. - No deadbolts on any door to the exterior, kids could just walk out. - Very loose stairway banister - A leak from the ceiling in the upstairs kid's room - Marshy/ sitting water for about 40 yards on the boardwalks that kept us from using the beach. We had to drive golf carts to go to the beach. We chose this unit because of the nearby beach access (we all have kids under 2), so this was very disappointing. - Home was not clean (I had to wipe down the floors in our room before setting up my kids' beds), lots of bugs on walls/ ceilings and "visitors" - Mold growing around several AC vents, doors, windows - Floors rotting out / obviously squishy upstairs - Rotted out baseboard in dining room (you can see straight in) - Back door frame totally rotted out - Mold/ rot around sliding doors upstairs - Smoke detectors not present in every room (I'm pretty sure it's a law you're supposed to have these in each room). We only saw 2 in the whole house. - Paint cracking off wall revealing wallpaper - Very loose plumbing in upstairs bath - Water pressure was bad upstairs (maintenance said this was checked, but our family upstairs said it was just trickling the entire stay). - Upstairs bath extremely dirty/ smelly (smelled like a public bathroom) - Fridge shelves were duct taped together (one was completely unusable and the other kept coming out during our stay) - Loose electrical boxes coming out of the wall in several places - Trash drawer doesn't stay closed in kitchen - Queen bedroom downstairs - bed and bedding extremely uncomfortable - Closets are full of personal items - No vacuum cleaner available in the unit The house is really in bad shape (not expected from the pictures) and not at all what I would expect from a resort stay site. It wasn't just dirty but unsafe for guests!! I will say maintenance came quickly when I called about the huge water leak in the kids' room, but was unable to help with several issues. I have never left a review like this. There is black mold everywhere in this home. The pictures looked nice, but this place is falling apart! Fripp Island Resort only gave me $500 back for my stay and we paid $4500 for 4 nights.

Terrible management. Within 3 hours of being in my room, saw 2 cockroaches. Emailed and texted. After seeing the 2nd one i left immediately, emailed and texted again and requested refund. Heard back from someone the next day 24 hours later, saying the would give me another room. After I was already back home 5 hours away. Claimed seeing roaches is “normal around here”… not normal to see them in guest rooms… ever. Said they would refund me one night out of my 5 booked. Requested the higher ups information, never responded.

Lots of fun even though it rained for half of our stay (early October). Lots of nature to explore and wildlife to experience. I would recommend going through VRBO for booking rather than the local company though. I had to call and ask for info about the house we rented and even then, the communication wasn't great. However, the place itself was amazing!

Terrible experience and changed so much since new island ownership. We stayed at 727 Seahorse Rd over Labor Day weekend, booked through Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort. This was our 6th trip to Fripp Island. This house was the most expensive place we’ve stayed to date and it was disgusting and unsafe- truly shocking it was put out to rent. Major concerns were lack of appropriate locks on outside door, black mold everywhere, broken fridge, loose stairway bannister, missing crown molding - open to gross water damage/ mold, major leak caused puddle on bedroom floor, no beach access like advertised, no smoke detectors in every room, unclean and truely disgusting. Fripp island resort was terrible to work with and just has really gone down hill in customer service since new ownership. Cost of all amenities are rising but lower level of quality.

Have been coming here all my life and love Fripp. Many changes have occurred over the last few years and looking forward to a bright future.
