Great getaway house

This was the perfect house for our family. Close to the beach close to town as well. Home is clean comfortable and well maintained and well stocked, area is nice and the neighborhood was quiet. The only “complaint” if I’d even call it that would be that the carpets could use a good cleaning as it was pretty stained throughout. Will definitely book here again.

Great house for OBX vacation

Our family of eight enjoyed our stay at Surf's Up. The house is very conveniently located to the beach access and has a pool. The house is spacious, especially with all of the deck seating areas. I was especially impressed with the well stocked kitchen. There were ample dishes, silverware, serving dishes, and a large variety of pots and pans that made cooking and eating with a family easy. Thank you!

Surfs Up

The home was very nice and had everything we needed. It was close to the beach and close to the shopping center that we could go in the golf cart to get things. It was so nice having a pool at the house to use. We had a great vacation with 3 little kids and it even had a high chair and baby gates! Plenty of room for 4 couples to stay and the room with the bunk beds worked great for the kids. Definitely would recommend. Only suggestion would be doing a better job sweeping as there was a lot of pet hair on the floor still, but we did use the vacuum the house had to sweep again.

We realized this house was a pet friendly home and we have stayed in pet friendly homes in the past. This home had a large amount of fur on all floor carpets, upholstery furniture, bedspreads and pillows. Either a better home vacuum or clean carpets. Thank you

We had issues with refrigerator and pool heater. However, when we contacted maintenance the response time was quick. We received a refund for the days missed that the pool was not heated in a timely manner. The place was clean and prepared when we arrived. It was set up safely for children. We have 5 grandchildren and although it was cold they had a lot of fun swimming in the pool and enjoying the activity in the area. We loved seeing the wild horses! Anytime you spend time with family it is well worth it and priceless!!

Surfs Up was very accommodating for the four of us and our fur babies. The house was very clean and we were able to get in early..thank you that never happens. The distance to the beach was great, short easy walk to beach access. The staff at Shoreline was friendly and accommodating. We left a day early because of Ian but enjoyed our time while we were there. We love the obx and hope to see you next year. The Wolfgongs

Usually 4-stars, this year 3 Stars but it's still a wonderful home

This is the 3rd, maybe 4th, time I've rented this house in the last 10 years. It's a nice property in a great location near groceries and shopping, restaurants, etc. This year, to my disappointment (and easily blamed on pandemic/global supply chain issues), the pool pump had a leak causing the pool to lose a lot of water every day. I think the water level issue also prevented the pool cleaned prior/during my stay as it should have been. The hot tub was also inoperable (I was told it will be replaced). The dishwasher was broken and the repair part didn't arrive in time for our use. Other than these issues with items that are prone to have issues on occasion, the house is in good shape and the kitchen is well-equipped. It's a short walk (1.5 blocks) to the beach access and the beach there is lovely. I'll definitely rent this house again in the future.

I thought the house could have been in a little better condition. Had to place one service call for underwater pool light and spot lights overlooking pool. I also noticed a nail that was sticking halfway out on the front steps. The grass was extremely high when we checked in, but was cut a few days into our stay. Overall, we had a great time.

Family Vacation

We had a great week. The house was clean and well stocked and the management company was very responsive! We received detailed instructions before we got there and if there were any problems how and whom to reach out to. Loved that it was pet friendly and did not smell/look like pets were there!! Would definitely recommend this home.

Traditional beach house

The house could use some improvements but we had a great week! Cons-The outdoor shower was FULL of sand and unusable, the deck had old nails sticking out so it was very unsafe for small children, the kitchen sink knob was broken and annoying to finagle, the house could have used a better cleaning before we arrived, and lastly it’s full of unnecessary curtains and old decorations which are annoying for a parent of small children. Pros- The air conditioner worked amazing, the pool company came to clean and service the pool, there is extra beach accessories, they allow dogs, close to the beach, kitchen was stocked with plates and anything you need to make a meal.

Great beach house. Spacious. Loved the pool and hot tub and the convenience of the decks to the bedrooms which allowed the children to change out of wet suits, ect. The beach access is a very easy walk. The home did lack deep cleaning and general upkeep. Overall, our family enjoyed the home and location!

Great location and wells stocked kitchen

The listing says that certain items are not included but a lovely welcome package in a reusable insulated grocery bag greeted us when we arrived. It included dish soap, a sponge, a roll of paper towels, toilet paper and tissues, a single use laundry detergent among other items. That was a pleasant surprise! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked will all kinds of dishes, utensils, pots, pans and serve ware. I was able to easily feed my family without needing to invest in a single kitchen item. In fact, there are 3 types of coffee makers! The only issue I had, which is unrelated to the property owner, was that the pool had not been cleaned and the bottom was covered in sand. I emailed the management company and within hours a couple came out and made the pool spotless. If you are looking for a well stocked home, convenient walk to the beach, quick bike ride or drive to the stores, mini golf and lighthouse I highly recommend this home!

Great Stay

Great location, easy and close access to the beach. The Pool and Hot Tub were amazing on the cold days that we could not go to the beach. The House could use some updating and some of the decks need some attention. The House needs curtains. We all had small children and without the option to darken the room at bedtime and morning they had a hard time getting and staying asleep, White blinds and see through curtains on the sliders just were not enough. It's very bright with all the windows. House is a very short drive to some great restaurants and shopping. We would love to rent this property again!!!
