The most spoiled we've been at a vacation home!

The Roels went above and beyond to make sure our trip was everything we could wish for, and the house was absolutely lovely!

Fun time at Carolina Beach

Bikinis and Martinis was the perfect spot for a relaxing summer vacation on Carolina Beach! We enjoyed a fenced in backyard for our dogs to play and the townhouse was gorgeous! It is located in a nice neighborhood and close enough to walk to the beach every day. There is a garage so we could take the doors off the Jeep too! Highly recommend this property and renting through iTrip is a breeze.

My friends and I had a great time at the Now and Zen Beach House. They have beach essentials on site, like chairs and a wagon, that made it easy for us to get to the beach and enjoy it. The house is comfortable, clean, and well equipped. The easy and responsive communication with the iTrip NC Beaches staff was also a huge plus. We would stay here again!

This was our second year in a row staying at Now and Zen. The space is perfectly laid out for our family. It is beautifully decorated and always very clean. The location is great, just a few blocks from the beach, restaurants and the boardwalk!

Sweet beach getaway

We had a great time staying in this beautiful rental! It was so tastefully decorated, spotless and perfect for a family of four. Great location to all of the nearby restaurants and attractions. The fenced in backyard and spacious front porch were wonderful- we did not want to leave! Would 100% recommend staying here and will be back!

Fabulous Beach House!

My family loved our stay at Now and Zen! The unit was extremely well appointed and immaculately clean. A short walk to the beach and very close to area attractions. Owners are very responsive and helpful. I’m already planning our return visit.

We enjoyed our stay at Now & Zen. The house was just like the description & very clean. Communication was great, just a text away answering questions & sending recommendations. We rented a golf cart & kept it in the garage & also enjoyed the provided bikes. We would definitely stay here again!

Five stars

Perfect spot for a family of 4 especially with older kids who had the lower level to themselves. House was very clean and management company did a great job of communicating and having everything you would need for a home away from home. Really appreciated the bikes for quick trips to/from the beach and avoiding parking in town. Thanks for a great beach vacation!

Perfect stay.

This home is tastefully decorated and in like-new condition. Check in/ check out was easy and the property manager was very responsive when we had an AC issue (which turned out to be our fault). Highly recommend if you don’t need a beach view. It is 6 blocks from the beach, and only 2 blocks from a nice paved greenway that is shaded in the morning and great for walking.

Cute place

Everything in the house was very nice. It was stocked with everything we needed including 2 bikes and several beach chairs. We rented a golf cart which was helpful because it was too long of a walk to the beach if you were carrying beach chairs. We rented games, a tent and other beach supplies from GotShade and SunFun Rentals. I would stay again!

My wife and I and Melo our 40 lbs. beagle/lab had a relaxing and very enjoyable 6 week stay at Now and Zen. Close to the beach and all the amenities of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach as well as a short drive to Wilmington. The home is very comfortable and well equipped. The fenced in yard was awesome for Melo. We will return next year!

Wonderful Beach Home

This home was great! It is an ideal location to all the attractions in Wilmington & super peaceful. Just a few short blocks and your toes are in the sand at a great beach! The house was by far super clean and welcoming! The property management was great and only a text message away, which is ideal when you are not familiar in the location. Great home for your family to stay at and make some wonderful memories! We will be coming back! Thank you for providing such a cute home away from home in Wilmington ♡

Peaceful retreat just blocks away from the beach!

My family and I had the most wonderful time at the Now and Zen Beach House! The home was well-appointed and the hosts were quite attentive! We rented a golf cart for a few days and were able to keep/charge in the garage. Pet friendly too! Grab a glass of wine or a beer and sit out on the balcony to catch the ocean breeze. Just lovely! We'll be back again. Thank you, iTrip!

Excellent place to stay!

Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The house is pet friendly and there is a small yard for us to take our dog out with dog baggies provided. Location is great and within walking and driving distance to anything you might want to do. The space was perfect for 6 people. The outdoor shower is a great idea for when you come back from the beach. Only one small suggestion would be to have pavers from the shower to the house door. We loved the house and would definitely stay here again!!
