Nice looking, but watch out for the bugs!!
Review Submitted: September 11, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
Our week was far from ideal. We were initially greeted with a house with broken airconditioning and 6 dead roaches thru-out the house. The roach problem worsened until they were actually climbing on us. At that point, we packed up and left after only 3 nights (the first night, we were moved as the house temperature was 83 degrees). We have tried to negiotate with the owner for a PARTIAL refund. She will only offer additional time in the home.
Would you like to return to a house like that? And, don't even ask what was on the wall in the bathroom!
Do yourself a favor and find another place to stay on Fripp Island!
Owner's Response: I guess one bad review in 4 years is not bad, although I still hate to have unhappy vacationers. It was a shame that the air conditioning chose to stop working on a Sat evening. I was on the phone immediately and put them up in a very nice 3 bedroom condo for the night and had the air conditioner repairman out to the house first thing Sun morning to put freon in the unit. I have an account for pest control and he had sprayed just a few days before and my guests told me there were a "few dead" palmetto bugs on the floor. The area is very wooded and there has been a lot of rain which has brought a few palmettos in the house. They, the renters, were back in the house Sunday morning and on the phone seemed very pleased and thanked me for moving them and being so prompt in the matter. Unfortunately by Thursday afternoon there was a threat of a tropical storm and they decided to leave Friday late afternoon. They were origionally going to leave Sat at 10 am which was their checkout time. They had wanted to do a couple of the basin tours (boat) but the tours were cancelled due the impending storm. Since they had to leave 1/2 day early they insisted on 1/2 of their money back. I had offered them a weeks free stay at any time that was available but they wanted their money back to go someplace other than Fripp, since they had now been there. It's unfortunate when you run into renters like this but it is a consolation that I have had 4 years of wonderful renters with wonderful comments on my home and Fripp.
