Reviews

Beautiful!
4/5 stars
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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, Carly. It is great to hear that you and your family enjoyed the beauty and cleanliness of the home, as well as its great location; so close to the beach! We appreciate your feedback as we always strive to enhance our guests' experiences. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Thanks for trippin' with iTrip!

Nice Accommodation & Helpful Support
5/5 stars
We spent a week in August, 2024 at Now and Zen. The unit is very clean and in excellent condition. The beds were the most comfortable of any property rental I have stayed in (this was only my third, though). iTripNC was helpful with any questions I had. Very responsive. For beach access, I recommend renting a golf cart for your stay. The walk to the beach isn’t tremendously far, but the cart was extremely useful for transporting equipment and anyone with mobility challenges to the beach. Overall, a great stay.
- ERIC

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at Now and Zen, Eric! We're happy to hear that you found the unit very clean and comfortable, especially the beds.

We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another great stay in the future!

My wife and I and Melo our 40 lbs. beagle/lab had a relaxing and very enjoyable 6 week stay at Now and Zen.

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!

5/5 stars
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!
- Mary

Thanks for the review Mary! We are so glad you were able to enjoy the zen environment on the home and the neighborhood. We agree the balcony and the ability to bring your furry family member is an amazing bonus on vacation. We can not wait to have you back. Thanks for trippin' with iTrip!

Absolutely Beautiful
5/5 stars
This home was clean and new and beautifully laid out. There was clearly a lot of thought given to making sure that all guest needs were met. The kitchen is beautiful and the living area is even more spacious than the pictures show. We had 6 adults staying together and never felt cramped. The bikes and outlet for a golf cart in the garage made getting to and from the beach super easy! Highly recommend Now and Zen!

Very Zen Vacation
5/5 stars
My husband and I along with our two adult children (25, 22) stayed for a week at Now and Zen. We enjoyed how easy it was to walk to the beach. We also had everything we needed (as advertized). The home is well decorated in soothing colors and up-to-date decor. We enjoyed relaxing in the mornings and evenings on the balcony. The neighborhood is mostly sleepy and quiet. As far as local places to eat, we recommend Britt's Doughnuts, El Cazador's, Freddie's (call to make reservations), Hang Ten, and Michael's Seafood. As far as activities, our family took surf lessons at Tony Silvagni's and attended an outdoor church service on Sunday. We also walked, biked, and ran on the trail located west of the home. Nearby, we explored historical, downtown Wilmington, NC where we ran on the boardwalk, shopped, and toured the USS North Carolina. If you're a history buff, this is a great place to visit! For those traveling from the midwest, we flew into Raleigh, but realized later that Myrtle Beach, SC may have been a little closer. Finally, expect to pay for parking whether in Carolina Beach or Wilmington. We walked to the beach and ate at restaurants where parking was free. However, we weren't able to completely avoid paying for parking during our stay. Now and Zen is a great home away from home with plenty of great things to do nearby! We highly recommend!
- Erica

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review Erica! We are overjoyed to hear that you enjoyed the home with its beautiful decor and convenient location. We agree that Carolina Beach is wonderful and has so many amazing things to do. We hope to have you back. Thanks for trippin' with iTrip!

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.

Cute place
5/5 stars
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!

Excellent place to stay!
5/5 stars
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!!
- Darla

Darla, thank you for the review! We are glad that everything was clean and prepared for your arrival, and that your dogs were able to tag along!

Now and Zen was a perfect beach getaway for our family of 4. The house was in a great location, only a short walk to the beach. It was also so thoughtfully equipped. The 'extras' were such a great touch, from the extra toiletries in the bathroom to the ketchup and mayo packets in the fridge. The bikes were a hit with my teenagers and so unusual to have a rental house supply them. We had a fantastic trip, will definitely keep this home on our list to visit again!

Just returned from a visit to Carolina Beach, there was so much to do I couldn’t get it all in! I traveled with 5 other friends and we stayed at the Now and Zen Beach House. This place was awesome! It accommodates 6 adults more than comfortably. In the evenings we sat around the table for dinner together and played card games. Now and Zen is nicely decorated, you can tell the owner put a lot of thought into what would make people relax after a hard week of work. Lots of personal little touches. We had all that we needed to relax and not worry about a thing! The kitchen was well stocked in regards to pots/pans utensils etc. Even a wine opener (we all forget those and always have to run out to get yet another one:

The Best of Both Worlds
5/5 stars
Staying at Now and Zen was a treat! As soon as you settle into this spacious 3BR 2 1/2 Bath rental,the tranquil colors and calming vibe melts the stresses of the day off right away. There is a full kitchen with more than everything you would need, a big screen tv in the living room with plenty of seating for a movie night and a super comfortable Cali King bed and tv in the Master bedroom. After a good nights rest, you can take a very short walk to the beach to enjoy the sunrises, which are magical, then walk north to the Carolina Beach boardwalk for breakfast and shopping. You may also choose to walk south to the Kure Beach shops and eateries. The best of both worlds!
- Mike

Thank you Mike for your 5 Star Review of Now & Zen Beach House in Carolina Beach. iTrip could not agree with you more.

Flawless Stay at Now & Zen!
5/5 stars
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.

Relaxing, comfortable stay
5/5 stars
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?
