About this property

Relaxing Zen House! Work, relax, & play two blocks from private beach access!

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!
