About the host
Hosted by Beata Lorinc
Hi — I'm Beata.
I'm a professional host, Penn State alum, mom to two boys, and someone who genuinely believes places shape how we feel.
My family is originally from Poland — yes, I speak Polish — and over the years we've lived in different states and even a few different countries. One thing I've learned is that people rarely remember trips because of square footage or checklists.
They remember how they felt.
The morning coffee with the ocean right in front of them. The dolphin sightings everyone kept counting. The moment they realized they finally felt like they could breathe again.
That's probably why hospitality matters so much to me.
Why they chose this property
he Zen Escape was designed around a simple idea: if you're coming to the ocean, the ocean should actually feel like part of your stay.
Not just from the deck. From the couch. The kitchen. The dining table. Your morning coffee. Even from bed.
The views here reach into everyday moments in a way that's surprisingly rare. Guests often tell us they expected to spend more time exploring and somehow ended up wanting to stay exactly where they were.
Because once you settle in, something shifts.
Life gets quieter. Breaths get deeper. And at some point somebody inevitably asks:
"Wait...how many dolphins have we seen today?"
What makes this property unique
One of the things guests love most about Zen is how easy the beach feels here.
The sand is only steps away, and the fully fenced oceanfront yard gives you a rare kind of flexibility — especially when traveling with dogs or a small group. The covered lower level becomes a second gathering space with ocean views, dining, games, a half bath, outdoor shower, and covered hot tub you can enjoy even when it rains.
It is oceanfront in the way people hope oceanfront will feel: immediate, effortless, and hard to leave.
