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!

Great

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

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 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!!

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.

Our stay was wonderful! This house was perfect for our extended family and our two dogs, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy our vacation. We especially loved how conveniently close it was to the beach—we walked there every morning & spent a couple of hours. It was our favorite part of the day. The home was comfortable, and well-equipped. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Outside of houses needs cleaned, deck furniture needs replaced. Walk to beach is short however steps to get over sand dune was hard for older adults and also to take your cart to beach. Rooms in house was large, enjoyed the pool.
