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!

Another Great Stay

This is the third year in a row that we stayed at Saltwater Zen. That should say everything. We love the location, the amenities, the view, the pool, and the home is stocked with almost anything one could need. We appreciate the top notch hosts, who are always easily reached if needed. Book your stay and enjoy!

Lovely space!

We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Cottage! Absolutely loved the views -- waking up and looking out at the ocean everyday was such a treat. Also enjoyed the access to the semi-private pool (much less crowded than the resort pools). Michael and Tonja were super responsive when we ran into issue with A.C. The whole thing was resolved in under an hour! Also grateful for easy check-in and check-out.Fripp Island is a magical place!

Wonderful location for spotting dolphins

This is our first stay at this property. We have rented the property next door in the past. Great layout for two adults. We were able to watch the dolphins practically every day. Check in/out was seamless. Amenity cards were appreciated. We would consider renting this property again.

Beautiful escape

Perfect home in a perfect place. The ocean views were beautiful from the two porches. Saw dolphins, deer and even a raccoon went scurrying by. Beautiful Fripp island there to explore and close to Hunting island to see as well. The home had everything we needed and more.

Blissful Retreat

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to spend our honeymoon. This oceanfront cottage was everything we dreamed of – cozy, beautifully maintained, and set in an absolutely stunning location. Waking up each morning to the sound of waves and enjoying coffee on the private balcony with a view of the ocean was pure bliss. The cottage was spotless, well-equipped, and tastefully decorated with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. If you’re looking for a peaceful, romantic escape by the sea, this is it. We’re already dreaming of coming back for an anniversary!

Beautiful ocean front cottage

This cottage is just right for a couple’s vacation. It is supplied with everything we needed and the ocean view from the decks is fantastic. I could sit on the deck all day and listen to the ocean and watch the dolphins (I didn’t, but I could)!! There are two swimming pools within walking distance (one you’re looking at from the deck) and a restaurant right across the street.

Wonderful ocean views and sounds

Great views of ocean including dolphins surfacing frequently. Had minor issue but communication was easy and issue was resolved quickly. We walked 5K loop several times on sidewalks, low-traffic roads, and retaining wall next to ocean. Deer near roads seem tame. Good restaurants including Seaside Grill (Wednesday shrimp night) and Beedos (Vegan smashburgers) within 20 minute drive.

Relaxing getaway

1st time at Fripp Island and so happy with this location! We appreciated being away from the busier area, where the restaurants and other pools were. Ocean Pointe Grille on the golf course was within walking distance or golf cart ride. Rented a golf cart that was perfect for this location to drive around the island. Loved seeing the dolphins from our balcony.
