About this property

Saltwater Zen -- Your Oceanfront Retreat on Fripp Island

The price includes all fees, amenity cards, and resort taxes. No additional charges!

Ocean front location — directly adjacent to the breakwater barrier. The peaceful sound of the ocean will melt your cares away as you relax in this tastefully decorated home.

This exceptional property has hardwood flooring throughout and two balconies for absorbing the beautiful ocean view.

The kitchen has everything you’ll need including a combination coffee maker and k-cup machine to help you start your day.

If you’re looking for some downtime, there’s expanded Cable TV as well as high-speed internet to keep you connected. Google Home is available (just say “hey Google”) to provide you with music in the living room and in the bedroom. And, you can pack light and use our washer and dryer.

1 queen master bedroom upstairs with a pullout sofa downstairs. Saltwater Zen is an absolutely fantastic location for a couple or a small family.

Fripp Island is an absolutely fantastic location. 25 beach access points and several freshwater pools. There are several restaurants right on the island and even more great options in Beaufort, SC -- a short 12-15 minute drive into town.

* Fido will have to stay behind — pets are not allowed — sorry for that.

* Note that the resort recently imposed a 12.8% tax on all rental homes, we have had to raise our fees slightly to account for that new tax. It will show up in your price quote as "Club Fee".

We hope to see you soon at Saltwater Zen!

Perfect Cottage and Stay
My wife and I booked 705 for a golf event, three nights on Fripp. The location was perfect. The property was clean, which is most important. The owners communicated clearly and were responsive to questions. The sunrise was beautiful every morning, including a rainy one, on the back porch. You have everything you need in the room, kitchens, amenities, etc. Huge shower. Samsung washer and dryers. Easy access and easy to get anywhere else on the island you may want. Short golf cart ride to the beach club and Sandbar. Short walk to the Ocean Point golf club. We definitely hope to stay again!

We enjoyed our stay and loved the balcony. Area was very quiet and relaxing. Was disappointed that we could not find car parking near the beach access on the island.

The place is beautiful and very well stocked with your basic supplies.
We loved the place!! It has a beautiful view of the ocean which we spent most of our time on the balcony watching the dolphins. I would only bring clothes and food because they have everything else you could need and not much room for a lot of storage so pack lightly and use the washer and dryer provided😁 we loved it so much we can't wait for our next visit.

20th Anniversary Getaway Vacation
Our first time on Fripp Island! The condo was very well equipped and very comfortable! We enjoyed watching the sunrises which were fantastic. The unit is right across the street from golf and food. We enjoyed 4 rounds of golf while on the island. A great trip we hope to repeat in the future.

We loved Saltwater Zen. It had everything we needed for our extended New Year's weekend. The views from the balconies were gorgeous and the kitchen had everything we needed. The owners were great with communicating. We would definitely come back.

Saltwater Zen Jackpot
We were blown away with this rental. The unit was clean, updated, and fully stocked with everything we needed. The coffee bar area was a big plus for us. The view was spectacular, the pool right was right off the deck, and the location was perfect for us. The host answered immediately when I had a simple question. We had a fantastic week and have every intention of trying to stay at Saltwater Zen again!

Perfect getaway
My husband and I had a great getaway at this waterfront cottage. The owners were quick with any communications and the cottage was very clean, well stocked, and cozy. The view is amazing! We watched dolphins right from the balconies several times a day feeding! Will definitely stay here again if we come back just the two of us!!!

Caregiver Respite Stay
My wife and I were in need of solitude, rest and quiet time with the Lord and each other following three years of dedicated caregiving and the passing of my mother. Our needs were met at Saltwater Zen on Fripp Island which we believe was the result of a Devine appointment; no coincidence. Sunrises, the peaceful sound of breaking waves, watching dolphins from the porches and biking/walking throughout His creation provided our much needed rejuvenation. This was our first Fripp Island experience and we intend to return again in the off peak season. We often felt as if we we had the beach, shoreline and bike paths to ourselves. We are grateful to Tonja and Michael for choosing to share this beautiful condo with others!

Amazing!
This trip was amazing! The home was absolutely perfect! The owners have thought of everything. It was the perfect house in the perfect location. I would love to come back and will definitely be recommending this home to friends and family! Tip- if it storms while you are there watch for dolphins! They were jumping in the water an entire storm right off the balcony. So cool!!

Excellent condo!
Fantastic. Idyllic. Wonderful. Amazing. Great place for a couple to spend a few days (or more) and unwind. Highly recommended. (I’m writing this from our follow-up property we’re staying at on this trip a few hours north which is quite the letdown compared to Saltwater Zen.)
