Weekend getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend at this beach rental! The home was clean, well maintained, and decorated with a fun beachy vibe. It was an easy walk to the beach, the kitchen had everything we needed, and our dogs loved having a backyard to enjoy. We would definitely book again and recommend this property!

Very clean and spacious property in a quiet, convenient location. The beach was less than a half-mile walk, with easy parking for when we were feeling lazy. We enjoyed the Carolina Beach area and the closeness of Wilmington - beautiful beaches, a variety of good restaurants, and plenty of fun, indoor activities when the weather wasn't cooperating. We will visit again!

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.

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.

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.
