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! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles - Table tennis - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,781 square feet ## Similar properties ![Apartment (4 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117260000/117250800/117250758/25d6953b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk to the Waves: Coastal Kure Beach Retreat Kure Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=117250758&PinnedHotelID=117250758&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Studio (4 Bedrooms) | Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115550000/115546900/115546837/825cba95.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shoo Fly by Carolina Retreats Kure Beach - Dryer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Restaurant [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=115546837&PinnedHotelID=115546837&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91130000/91124700/91124633/8558bbdd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ☀️Ocean Dunes 2124C-Bella Vista-Oceanfront Condo-Close to Ferry!🚢 Kure Beach - Ocean view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=91124633&PinnedHotelID=91124633&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110870000/110867000/110866992/76c4a36d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pink Pearl-Super cute pet friendly cottage, 3 bedroom 2 bath with a rocking chair front porch and plenty of parking Kure Beach - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=110866992&PinnedHotelID=110866992&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/55000000/54850000/54844200/54844106/9bd18205.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Blocks from Beach, Dog Friendly w/ no dog fees!, Hot Tub, Fenced Yard Kure Beach - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-20&endDate=2026-03-21&selected=54844106&PinnedHotelID=54844106&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34160000/34151900/34151894/ede8b856.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shoo Fly | Oceanfront Porch + Steps to the Beach!

This house was perfect for our family and is so comfortable that we didn’t mind having lazy afternoons hanging out and playing games.The kitchen is large and well-stocked, the house was big enough to stretch out and have our own space, and the location was so close to the beach… about a 5 minute walk at most.There are boogie boards, coolers, bikes, and beach chairs and toys to use and we used the Blackstone griddle every day!The only negative was that the shower heads were quite clogged and sprayed all over and are not reachable by a short person (like me).The property manager, Barbara, was great and the communication from her was also great.We have already booked again for next Summer! ##### Monica W.
