Excellent Stay!!
This home on the beachfront was perfect! It had everything we needed and more. The home was very charming and comfortable. Walk right out to the beach and also easy access to the Surf City community. Communication couldn’t have been better. My only regret is that we could not stay longer.

Puppy’s 1st Birthday trip!
We’ve got one special pup who was diagnosed early on with a severe heart issue, who has also not had the best luck regarding her health this last year. She loves the beach and just recently made it to her first birthday, so we thought a trip for her would be just what we all needed! This home was beautiful, truly did not want to leave. Highly recommend and am already dying to come back!

Zen escape indeed
This property is perfect! The house is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. Everything you could need is provided at Zen Escape. The property manager is very communicative and helpful. The view cannot be any better than from the deck of this home! It is situated in a nice, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to many restaurants. Highly recommend this home!

Just what we needed
Booked this place for my husband’s 50th birthday. His only request was oceanfront, being able to hear the waves from the bedroom, and to watch college basketball. THIS. IS. IT. Beautifully decorated home with calm and serene colors not overly bright or overly beachy. Couldn’t ask for a better location. THE LOCATION!!! You feel as if you are on your own private beach and sitting in the middle of the ocean. It has everything you need and Christine was a sweetheart when I gad to call her. We’re just getting home but are already checking our schedules for stay #2. Definitely ZEN!

About the host

Hello, my name is Beata (rhymes with Miata) but you can call me Be. I've had "own a beach house" on my vision board since I was 30, and a few months before my 40th birthday my dreams came true and we bought our first beach home.

My husband and I are proud Penn Staters and currently live in Cary, NC with our two sons Leo (2006) and Dylan (2009), our new puppy (born 7/1/2017) our 2 cats (don't worry, none of the cats will come to the beach house).

I am a licensed realtor in NC. My primary market is Cary/Apex/Raleigh and the surrounding towns. I also working with buyers looking for their own little slice of heaven on Topsail Island.

My father is a skilled carpenter and mason and my mother is a professional housekeeper and I have been running Handy Maven, a boutique remodeling firm in Baltimore for them since 2012. I have been flipping houses with my dad since I was 12. I can not wait to dive in and continue making upgrades and remodels to this already gorgeous, sturdy and well maintained home.

Before I left my corporate career to raise my boys, I was a Logistician for Procter & Gamble. My favorite assignment was leading the customer service team.

I am also a trained speaker, writer, and trainer. I LOVE leading retreats and leadership events. My goal is to be of service to you in any way that I can be.

Why they chose this property

I get to completely remodel this home and it is situated in the perfect place in Surf City, and has the most breathtaking views you will find.

What makes this property unique

Perfectly located so that everyone in your party is happy: we have the beach right in front of us and within a very short walk we have restaurants, shops, grocery, the fishing pier, a yoga studio, a book store, a spa, an organic grocer, a yoga studio, a coffee and smoothie shop, a church and so much more. Some thing for everyone without ever having to get in your car if you don't want to.

We will continue stocking our activity closet and will take requests from our guests.
