I always ask myself, would I stay here again? The answer is YES. The views are fantastic! It's rare to find a great rental on the ocean that allows dogs. It was super pet friendly with the fenced area and deck access. It was clean, as if no pets had been here before ours. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, covered outdoor area, and easy access to the beach. It was very well stocked with plenty of towels, extra pillows, and beach chairs. We look forward to returning.

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.

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.

Everything You Could Want / Need On Your Beach Vacay
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!
