The Best Beach Stay Ever

We just love this house and location and knew last year that we would be coming again! The views, layout, and access to the beach are perfect. Location has low traffic on beach and street which makes it especially nice for strolling or hanging. Everything was provided for and all we had to do was relax and enjoy! The owner truly has considered every detail with design and functionality to capture the ultimate beach experience. The house was immaculate and has plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, bathroom and kitchen supplies and more. The property manager, Christine, is great and always responds quickly with questions or needs (she gets 5 stars too)! The owner and property manager both strive to provide the best guest experience possible and is why we will be back a third year...and longer stay!

Lovely Getaway

Not our first visit to the Zen Escape, its beautiful ocean view and welcoming interior is just part of the reason we came back. Our family had a “Coastal Christmas” this year. Would highly recommend this property.

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.

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.

Great location

This home was in a quiet area and in between public access points so the beach area was not too crowded! The upstairs area was a nice size and beds were comfortable with ample drawer space. The view is incredible!

Perfect Getaway!

Home is so clean and inviting! They provide so much that it makes you feel at home and stress free! I wish all rental properties were this nice!!! Kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable, and linens are great quality. It is obvious the owners take pride in the house and it isn’t just a money maker. Lots of games and amenities to make your stay amazing. Pay it forward idea for the kitchen makes grocery shopping easy! This is a house you come to to truly relax!

Cute, well appointed beach cabin. We enjoyed the thoughtful leave behind policy for the next guest as I always feel bad throwing away an almost full container of ketchup, etc. Location and view from living room was fabulous.

We love the Zen Escape!!!

This is our third time to The Zen Escape and it was absolutely wonderful as usual! We love the location because it is so close to the bridge for easy access on and off the island and just a few blocks from some of our favorite places but that part of the beach is always one of the least populated even in the busy summer months which is so nice. The house has everything you need which is great not to have to pack a bunch of stuff! We love sitting in the captains chairs on the back deck in the morning drinking coffee and in the evening drinking cocktails :) The owner and property manager are on top of everything so you never need to worry if an issue pops up because they take care of it immediately! We will definitely be back!!!
