About this house rental

Our Zen House is a relaxing pet-friendly home, fully equipped for the whole family to enjoy! Located just an easy five-minute walk away from the ocean, your stay will include a key granting you private access to the neighborhood beach. All the beach essentials are available for your use, including six beach chairs, a beach shade, coolers, and a beach wagon. An outdoor shower is located underneath the stairs to cool off after a long day in the sun.

There are three bedrooms, one with a reclining split king with independent head and foot elevation, and two bedrooms with a single queen bed. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, as well as high quality linens and pillows, plus a ceiling fan and white noise machines to guarantee a good night’s rest. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a large island for easy cooking and serving. There’s also an outdoor Blackstone griddle available to help you cook for a crowd. The kitchen island seats six people, and the dining table can expand to seat eight, so there will be plenty of room for your group to enjoy a meal together.

When you’re not at the beach, take your pick of either the upstairs or downstairs living room. Both have sectional couches and Roku TVs, perfect for a family movie night. You can relax and watch the sunrise on the upper deck, or spend some time sitting back in the chairs on the lower patio. Feel free to enjoy a little bit of nature while relaxing in the enclosed porch that has a twin XL daybed and a ceiling fan. The Zen House is also stocked with board games and a ping pong table for family game nights! There are 3 adult size bicycles for your use. For the remote workers, the house has an adjustable standing desk, printer, and monitor available for use along with high-speed internet in the downstairs office space. There is a hammock that fits under the lift desk, fitting for a child. Also available is a Japanese folding futon mat and mattress.
Along with easy beach access, the house is located close to plenty of restaurants and shops, including local favorites The Veggie Wagon and Freddie’s. The popular Carolina Beach boardwalk is a five-minute drive away, or a 12-minute ride using the three bikes available with your stay! Other exciting things close by are the Greenway Trail, the Southport Ferry, or seeing the otters at the Fort Fisher Aquarium!

The Zen House description was exactly as listed. The home was spacious, well appointed/decorated and VERY clean! Every amenity you could think of - from dog bowls and crockpots to beach chairs and coolers were provided. The living areas are spacious and the windows are almost floor to ceiling letting in wonderful light. The neighborhood is very safe and is easily walkable to the private beach access. Barbara was great at communicating prior to our visit and throughout with helpful hints and generally checking on us. LOVED the outdoor shower after a long day at the beach! Will definitely keep the Zen House in mind for upcoming beach trips!

Our stay at Zen House was wonderful. Communications leading up to our stay and throughout was fantastic. The house was clean and with everything you could need. The beach was a short 2 block walk with private access. I highly recommend the Zen House!

Home was perfect for my extended family (3 couples), dog and 7 mos old grandson. Short walk to a private beach is a great addition to this home. This place has been put on our short-list of places to stay for our annual beach trip.
