Perfect Place with 3 Bedrooms
We took our first trip to Carolina Beach to link up with our son who is stationed at Fort Bragg. We were looking for 3 bedrooms. This place was a short walk to the beach, we used the provided wagon to help carry items. It is in a great neighborhood with a nice walking path nearby for morning walks. All the amenities worked perfectly. It was clean and fresh and very comfortable.
We had such a wonderful stay. The place was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and well thought out with everything we needed. One of the highlights for us was how dog friendly it was. It’s not always easy to find a spot that truly welcomes pets, but this one made traveling with our dogs, stress-free and enjoyable. The location is also fantastic. Just a short easy walk to the beach which made mornings and sunset strolls incredibly convenient and relaxing. Being able to walk back-and-forth without worrying about parking or driving was a huge bonus especially if you’re going during peak tourist season when you have to pay for parking everywhere! Overall this was the perfect getaway spot, especially if you’re bringing your furry friend and love being close to the ocean. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others.

Eden, thank you for the 5-star review! We couldn't agree more, Now and Zen is a great place to relax! We're happy to hear that your booking process was stress free and that you enjoyed your vacation. Thank you for booking with iTrip!
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!

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.

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.
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.

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!

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.
