You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Saltwater Zen 2 -- 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!

positive-The view of the ocean from the back makes this place! The place was clean and check-in instructions very clear. The upstairs set up is very nice with double sink and shower.negative- The bed is painfully hard. The kitchen could use some TLC (especially appliances)We had to clean the outside of the sliders so we could enjoy the view to the ocean.

A great place to stay on Fripp Island! This cute two story condo was perfect for our stay. It has a full kitchen with everything you need to make breakfast or just have a quick meal. The view from the upstairs and downstairs decks were breathtaking. The area was quiet and less busy than the areas near the beach club. The hosts were easy to communicate with and we had all the information before we arrived. We will definitely be back!
