Carolina Furnished Rentals Expands into Wilmington, NC Through Collaboration with Zen Escape Home

April 28 15:38 2025

Wilmington, NC – Carolina Furnished Rentals, a leader in premium temporary housing across North Carolina, proudly announces its expansion into the Wilmington market through a strategic collaboration with Zen Escape Home.

This exciting new chapter marks a major step forward for Carolina Furnished Rentals, which has built its reputation on offering high-quality, fully furnished homes for relocation clients, insurance housing, and corporate travelers primarily in the Raleigh-Durham area. The company, founded by Amanda Williams and Alex Cowham, now extends its signature service to Wilmington—with sights set on Charlotte by the end of the year.

The expansion is particularly special to Amanda, as Brandon, the founder of Zen Escape Home, is one of her students. Amanda coaches Airbnb and short-term rental (STR) hosts across the country on how to build real businesses and successfully transition to mid-term rentals (MTRs). With her guidance, Brandon has elevated Zen Escape Home into one of Wilmington’s premier providers of luxury temporary housing.

“It’s incredible to see one of my students grow into a strong business owner and now a collaborator,” said Amanda Williams. “Brandon’s commitment to excellence and design aligns perfectly with our brand, making this collaboration a natural fit for our expansion into Wilmington.”

Introducing Luxury Living at 103 N Farmhouse Drive

The first featured Wilmington home, located at 103 N Farmhouse Drive, sets the tone for this exciting new offering. This five-bedroom, brand-new home sits in a desirable, quiet neighborhood that provides easy access to Wilmington’s beaches, schools, hospitals, and vibrant downtown.

Key features include:

  • Designer Furnishings: All homes are professionally styled with West Elm décor, offering a fresh, modern, and cohesive aesthetic.

  • Spacious Layouts: Five large bedrooms make these homes perfect for families, work groups, or extended stays.

  • Convenient Location: Proximity to Wilmington’s top employers, schools, hospitals, and shopping.

  • Flexible Stays: Month-to-month leasing with utilities included, providing the ideal setup for relocation and insurance clients.

This home is just one of three nearly identical properties available through Zen Escape Home in Wilmington. Each property offers a seamless blend of style, comfort, and functionality—meeting the rising demand for high-quality, furnished mid-term rentals on the coast.

Designed for Relocation, Insurance, and Corporate Housing

Carolina Furnished Rentals and Zen Escape Home specialize in serving guests who need more than just a short vacation rental. Their homes are tailored for:

  • Relocation clients who need temporary housing before purchasing a new home.

  • Insurance claim guests displaced due to home damage or repairs.

  • Corporate travelers and remote workers needing flexible month-to-month housing solutions.

  • Families requiring large, fully furnished homes with premium amenities.

“Our guests are typically families or professionals going through transitions—they need flexibility, space, and comfort,” said Amanda. “They’re not looking for a hotel room. They want to feel at home.”

With monthly rates typically starting above $5,000, these properties offer upscale alternatives to long-term hotel stays, extended-stay apartments, or crowded vacation rentals.
