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!

The perfect resting place
This property is a diamond! Beautiful, equipped with all the higher end amenities, so well kept and clean and convenient to many small restaurants and small community businesses. Perfect place to escape to relax and chill out. The ocean views CANNOT be beat.

Excellent Stay!!
This home on the beachfront was perfect! It had everything we needed and more. The home was very charming and comfortable. Walk right out to the beach and also easy access to the Surf City community. Communication couldn’t have been better. My only regret is that we could not stay longer.

Puppy’s 1st Birthday trip!
We’ve got one special pup who was diagnosed early on with a severe heart issue, who has also not had the best luck regarding her health this last year. She loves the beach and just recently made it to her first birthday, so we thought a trip for her would be just what we all needed! This home was beautiful, truly did not want to leave. Highly recommend and am already dying to come back!

Zen escape indeed
This property is perfect! The house is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. Everything you could need is provided at Zen Escape. The property manager is very communicative and helpful. The view cannot be any better than from the deck of this home! It is situated in a nice, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to many restaurants. Highly recommend this home!

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!!
