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!

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.

Nice place

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!
