This is the perfect stay for a North Carolina beach. It was extremely clean and had direct beach access, while being close to a couple of great restaurants/breweries. I also very much appreciated being able to bring my dog so he can enjoy the beach as much as possible during his senior years. I would stay here again without question.

This was a great place to stay. We had clear communication throughout our visit. The house is well decorated and welcoming. One thing I really enjoyed was the fenced in area. I didn't think about it before, but it made it easier to let the dogs out. I would stay here again..

Great view and beach access! The owner was an excellent communicator. We loved the proximity to restraunts and coffee shops. We enjoyed the porch, the hot tub and all of the toys they had there. We also appreciated the pay it forward program the owner had organized, it helped prevent us from having to purchase things such as salt, pepper, body wash etc!

Never Disappointed!

My husband and I always look forward to our annual stay at Zen Escape and have never been disappointed! Beautiful decor, comfortable furnishings and the kitchen is well stocked. The new and extra touches are perfect. Take a second to check out the shutters with the NC silhouette. The location is ideal. Nothing beats entering an extremely clean rental and seeing the ocean immediately! Though the weather was uncooperative, our stay at Zen Escape was 5 stars!

Just Gorgeous

We stayed in February and can only express congrats to the owners who have gone above and beyond. (The hot tub was wonderful.) The view cannot be beat, the furniture is top notch and has a designer's touch, comfy beds, luxurious towels & sheets. Love the "pay-it-forward" - nice to have kitchen spices, foil wrap, etc already supplied. Loved it so much, we've already re-booked for another little slice of paradise!

Zen Indeed!

With views that make you feel as if the water is directly beneath you and an oceanfront deck that allows you to take in the beauty and hear the ocean waves at all times, there is no way you won't feel zen here! The property itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our family of 5. It's close enough to the action of Surf City to be convenient but far enough to still feel the peace we crave on vacation. This was our dogs' first beach trip, and they were in heaven! The fencing beneath the house led to a convenient and worry-free experience when they were outside with us. We hope to return to this location in the near future as it was perfect for our family.

Our Zen Escape experience was amazing! I don't think we could have been any closer to the water without having been on a boat. It was beautiful! The home was stocked with more than we would have expected, and everything was in great condition. Every person we communicated with in regards to the property responded quickly, and did their best to accommodate. DEFINITELY recommend!

Just what we needed

Booked this place for my husband’s 50th birthday. His only request was oceanfront, being able to hear the waves from the bedroom, and to watch college basketball. THIS. IS. IT. Beautifully decorated home with calm and serene colors not overly bright or overly beachy. Couldn’t ask for a better location. THE LOCATION!!! You feel as if you are on your own private beach and sitting in the middle of the ocean. It has everything you need and Christine was a sweetheart when I gad to call her. We’re just getting home but are already checking our schedules for stay #2. Definitely ZEN!

Wonderful Christmas!

My husband, my 85 year old mother, our dogs and I stayed here over Christmas and it was wonderful! Perfect for the dogs. Being one level was great for my mother. The view was absolutely perfect from even inside the house when laying on the sofa, working in the kitchen, from everywhere. For the summer we typically only look at places that list a covered porch, but with this house there is a view of the ocean from under the house so it is like the entirety of under the house is a huge covered porch! Even fenced in for the dogs! The host could not have been more helpful. Definitely will stay here again!!
