We booked through Fripp Island Beach Resort and were very disappointed in the customer service. On the first morning of our stay, we found out the golf cart that the house was advertised with did not work. I called the front desk staff and informed them that the golf cart did not work and we needed a replacement bc we chose a house with a golf cart bc we have kids. We narrowed our search down with a house that had a golf cart. The front desk staff persisted to inform me that the golf cart was the home owner’s golf cart and not a Fripp Island Beach Resort’s golf cart so there is nothing that can be done about it. They gave me the number to the golf cart rentals and they also told me they could not do anything about it besides me paying for a golf cart rental through them! Let me make it clear, Fripp Island Beach Resort has golf cart rentals and they could have easily replaced our golf cart since the house is being rented by Fripp Island, not the individual owner of the house. Thank goodness the owner of the house, Mrs. Sherri left her number inside the home to call if the guest needed anything. Well since Fripp Island customer service did not want to do anything about the golf cart, I called Mrs. Sherri and she was very nice and accommodating. What ashame she had to fix the issue by calling the golf cart rentals and PAY for us a golf cart so that we would have one during our stay. She even thought that is was ridiculous that Fripp Island Beach Resort would not replace the golf cart. The owner of the house had to fix the situation, when really is was Fripp Island Beach Resort problem to fix since it was rented under the company. On the same day, me, my husband, and kids were at the house that afternoon and a woman pulled up and stated, “My manager told me to come and grab the owner’s number off the dresser in the master bedroom” - the manager of Fripp Island Beach Resort was obviously mad that the owner left her number for guest to call when they needed something. If we wouldn’t have been at the house, the woman that the manager sent was going to go into our rental house, uninvited and without us there, and go into the guest bedroom to grab a number that was in a picture frame. You cannot trust everyone and this company just allows people to come inside your rental house when you aren’t there. I had an expensive pocketbook and jewelry that someone could have taken. Thank goodness we saw the woman and were home when she tried to come in. Needless to say, I did not let her grab the owner’s number off the dresser and she left. I called the owner back and told her what the manager of Fripp Island Beach Resort instructed an employee to do! This manager was the manager that was working the morning of May 1st, 2025. That just blew my mind that a company and manager would do this. On day 3 of our stay, we had a water pipe bust in the house when we got back from the beach. I called guest services and told them that I needed someone asap to the house bc the busted water pipe was flooding the underside of the house and going into the road. I called twice. Guest services acted like it wasn’t an emergency and they were not attentive. Well, 40 minutes later, no one was there so I called the owner, again. Poor Mrs. Sherri for having to deal with all of this! I sent her a video of the flooding and within 5 minutes, someone was at the house trying to fix the busted pipe. We paid over $2,000 for a 4 night stay at 313 Ocean Point Drive Fripp Island, SC and our customer service through the resort was awful. Thank you to the home owner that made things right with us and thank you for leaving your number on the dresser. I would recommend guest booking with an individual owner other than through the resort when you are choosing a place to stay. Over >$2,000 with Fripp Island Beach Resort was not worth the money for the customer service.

Sandbar a perfect place to hangout with friends, family over 21+ in front of the ocean and be greeted by deer 🦌 up close and personal * no food just cocktails and frozen drinks!

was here for vacation with friends who live on the island. i bought ONE drink “purple rain” and i look back at my bank statements and i was charged $65. and it’s like trying to get in contact with the president to figure out what happened because they surprisingly can’t find my card number on their system and now won’t answer the phone when i call back to see what the verdict was. don’t come here they rack up a bill on your card without you knowing

I've had the pleasure of photographing many beautiful weddings, family sessions and surprise engagements on Fripp Island, and I've also been commissioned by Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort to capture the energy and excitement of their island events—what a blast it's been! Fripp truly offers something for everyone. Whether it’s family-friendly fun, cocktails at the Sandbar by the adults-only pool, a round of golf, or a relaxing beach day, they’ve got it all covered. I’m grateful to be part of it and can’t wait to see y’all at the next event!

Do not rent 643 New Haven Ct! My family and I stayed at 643 New Haven Ct last week and had a horrible experience. Black mold in the shower and on the walls. Issue with HVAC that caused all the vents to leak water on the floors and our beds. The dryer broke on our second day there and never got fixed. We ended up having to leave the island and spend money at a laundry mat to wash our clothes. There’s water damage on the ceilings, one of the bedroom light switches didn’t work and fan wouldn’t operate. All this was submitted on work orders only for a guy to come out, just visually look and then told us he’d make the owners aware. I called on Tuesday (6/25) asking for half my money back due to all these issues and got no response. Called back again on Friday (6/28) and was told that they would let the owners and property management know and they would decide what would be refunded, if any. The manager “Alita” called today and said after making the property owners aware they would only refund a little over $600 out of the $3,060.34 we spent to live in a moldy condo. As part of charge for staying there we were charged $249 for a cleaning fee and $40 for a “peace of mind” fee only to live in a gross condo with no peace of mind? The customer service is substandard at best and the maintenance techs lack training. Honestly for the price you pay here you’d get a better “bang for your buck” at Seabrook Island or Kiawah Island.

The amenities card cost $35 plus 12.8% of your rental cost per person for age 13 and above. For a $3500 rental that would be $483 per person for the privilege of going to the pool and the opportunity to eat at their restaurant. Which means a trip off the island to have a meal not prepared at the house. I wish this was listed clearly before we booked the rental because we would have stayed elsewhere. The island itself is beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed seeing the deer walk around freely.
I stayed at 45 Davis Love the 18-25th of August. I e been coming here for 15 years and hands down the worst place we ever rented . House covered in green mold and housekeeping atrocious . Guest services is helpful but limited as to what they can do

A little slice of low country heaven in Fripp! Our family used to come to Fripp but stopped going for a few years because we felt the resort was tired and not being properly maintained. We just finished a week long family trip with our extended family and were delighted by all the new changes, and how clean it felt compared to years past, not as tired- and the food is SO much better. They added a food truck at the beach club, they have fresh food grab and go as well. Our kids loved Fripp camp, and we loved family pickle ball, golf and driving the golf carts- which were also new and not gas guzzlers and were not loud like before. Fripp is so family friendly for all ages and we had so much to do for all of us, including grandparents to toddlers. We will definitely be returning next summer.

We have been coming here for years with family and friends. We love the quiet, laid back environment and drive far for it. This summer we arrived and we’re shocked by not only a huge increase in rental fees, but within 24 hours of being here we received a “parking citation” on a golf cart for a sign that has never been there before and was not visible to anyone. For a long time guest, this is unwelcoming and breaks the relaxing feel of the island for us. We are now spending 10% more on island rentals and we’re charged a $50 golf cart citation??? This an other changes are bringing a new “restrictive” feel…
