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!

Love it!

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!

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.

Beautiful home

The duplex was clean and new and very thoughtfully furnished. The bikes were a great way to get to the beach and everything was very convenient. Highly recommend to anyone with a group that wants to go to the beach and enjoy the restaurants and attractions.

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!

Now and Zen is perfect!

A lovely, well kept, beautifully decorated home. All of the things you may need or want for a comfortable stay. Everything is labeled in the kitchen which makes finding and returning items a breeze. My family and I felt totally at home!

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!

Now and Zen we will do it 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!!

Beautiful beach home

We had a wonderful stay even though we watched hurricane Ian storm through. The home was furnished lovely everywhere. The games in the bookshelf and in the ottoman were wonderfully fun. We brought some of our own but it was nice to see other ones also. We especially enjoyed the puzzle. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious. The kitchen was wonderfully furnished with everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Relaxing, comfortable stay

It was such a nice stay! Walks on the beach every morning were so relaxing. Watching sunrise and seeing surfers was an awesome start to the day. There's a cute breakfast spot close enough to walk or ride a bike to. (Surfing granny on the building was funny) The house had every thing you needed and the bed was comfy. Carolina Beach was a laid back beach town and Wilmington isn't far for additional activities/shopping or whatever you are looking for. Looking forward to going back again! Maybe horseback riding next time?

Security

Reserved the unit because it had a backyard with a fence and gate for our dog. The gate wouldn’t shut properly. They did make an adjustment with a bungee cord, but it was disappointing as that was the driving factor behind our decision to book.

Very nice but lots of rules!

Clean, cute and roomy. Dogs loved it. The requests about no sand in the house, dog hair, the cook top, etc. were a bit inconvenient. If you rent your house at the beach there is going to be sand. If you allow dogs, there is going to be dog hair. The neighbors dogs barked the entire time we were there which was annoying whenever we sat in front porch. Overall it was a great place!

Beautiful!

My family of 3 had a lovely stay here. The home is beautiful and clean. It has lots of natural light and is well decorated. Cleanliness was great. A bathroom drawer had hair in it but I’m sure not many people check to see if they need to clean a drawer haha. The sheets on one of the downstairs bedrooms were so stiff they were crunchy- they may have been brand new. The bed was comfy though. The upstairs master bed has a plastic mattress cover which makes noise and shifts the fitted sheet- this made it hard to sleep. The home and neighborhood are quiet but we could hear our duplex neighbors’ kids running on both levels. We love that it has a small backyard to let our dog out and a nice balcony out front. About a 6min walk to the beach. We had a lovely time here and would book here again.

Flawless Stay at Now & Zen!

Having spent several days at Now & Zen, we don't have to question why the house was so named. From a flawless registration and check-in process, thoughtful touches throughout the house welcome you. A bright hallway (equipped with current necessities like hand wipes) is indicative of what else you will experience here. On this floor there are two very respectably sized bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry room. The garage contained two bicycles, 6 beach chairs and a small trolley to haul everything you need to the beach, which was about a three-minute walk away. In the hallway there are integral night lights that were a subtle but wonderful addition in an evening . The stairway to your left delivers you to both the Now and Zen part of the house. Extremely tastefully decorated, (my wife fell in love with the granite on the island and the kitchen layout in general) this floor contains furniture and fixtures to make you feel immediately relaxed and at home. Modern appliances and touches tell you that this was extremely thoughtfully equipped and decorated. We literally lacked for nothing in the kitchen, living room, bedrooms and bathroom areas. The master bedroom on this floor has two very amply sized closets, king sized bed and a wonderful master bathroom. All in all, Now & Zen is sandwiched between perfect weather, beaches, boardwalk, bicycles, breweries, State Park hiking trails, the absolutely perfect place to stay at! The property and all of the conveniences provided were above and beyond expectations. The check-in process was flawless, and communication was extremely prompt and insightful. As a foursome, with our friends, we have traveled many countries around the world as well as staying in many places throughout the United States. As a group, we give Now and Zen 11 stars.
