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!

Best vacation house I have ever stayed at!!!

I traveled for a living for 12 years and am lifetime titanium elite with Marriott but if I am ever near Surf City I know where to stay, this place is awesome! I wanted to give a bad review to keep others away and keep it to myself. The owner and stag are great and very easy to deal with and I can’t say anything better for the house and property except pure awesomeness!!!! Best vacation I have had in 30 years.

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!

Excellent Stay

This is our second time at Zen Escape and our week was wonderful! We love that the home is within walking distance to several places, is stocked full of everything you need and is clean. Of course, the view is the best part of this place! We’ve stayed at several rentals at Topsail, this is one by far is the best. We hope to be back soon.

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!

Love!

This rental feels like visiting a close friends house and makes you feel right at home. My entire family loves the location, the beach access, the view from the porch of the sunrise and moon! This was our second stay and now my kids want to move to Surf City, but they will have to settle for another stay at the Zen Escape in the future.
