The property is not fully fenced, and the sea wall has no barrier—this home may not be suitable for small children. Just a short walk (about 2.5 blocks) from the Atlantic Ocean, Surf Cove is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and enjoy coastal life. Tucked along a peaceful canal, you’ll spot herons wading, hear fish jumping at night, and maybe even catch a sunset from the porch swing. Inside, the living room blends modern updates with vintage beach cottage charm—think surf memorabilia, a wood-burning fireplace, smart TV, and cozy furnishings that encourage you to kick back and stay awhile. The dining area features a beautiful live-edge table near the fire, with additional seating at the kitchen breakfast bar. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric cooktop, convection oven, microwave, dishwasher, and everything you’ll need to cook meals for hungry beachgoers. Two sets of French doors fill the space with light and open to outdoor dining areas on both levels—perfect for gathering with family and friends. Upstairs, you’ll find two thoughtfully styled bedrooms and a newly remodeled guest bath. Downstairs offers a private primary suite, a den with game table, laundry room, and a selection of books and games for rainy days or cozy evenings in. Spend your afternoons relaxing by the saltwater pool, watching wildlife from the deck, or roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. With three nearby beach access points—one with golf cart parking—and easy paddle access to the Sound, this is a perfect blend of ocean fun and quiet canalfront serenity. Please Note: A signed vacation rental agreement and valid photo ID are required to confirm your booking. We honor our cancellation policy and strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for added peace of mind.

It’s perfect for an adult getaway. We went with our adult children to explore the area. We enjoyed the pool, the beach is less than a five minute walk and it’s a super quiet neighborhood. We were very comfortable all week and loved watching fish jump in the water behind us and hearing all the birds above.

The house was adorable and had all the things that we needed for our stay. There was plenty of room and having the pool was great. It was a short walk to the beach and fun watching the tide change from the back dock. The house was very clean and the communication and check in was really easy. This rental had the best surf beachy vibe and we had a great time! We would stay here again. ##### Tiffany H.

It’s a nice place and the amenities are wonderful! It could use more comfortable seating. The couch and all the furniture is very low on the floor and hard to get up off of. The beds sleep good but the king bed downstairs again is low on the floor. Melissa was good to work with. ##### Glowie M.

Houses all around but felt like we had our own safe spot hidden away. Short walk to beach, clean pool, private dock, fire pit, clean kitchen, bath rooms, and showers. We enjoyed the new porch in the evenings to catch a views of the sound while we ate outside. The swings and hammocks facing the water was a nice bonus. The time my wife spent in the swing holding our sleeping daughter while watching the water was priceless. The whole house has a relaxing feel inside and out. We would have no issue bringing friends and family back to enjoy this place. Glad we chose this for our first family trip with our little girl. ##### tyler l. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda S. 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Overall this was a nice rental house, cutely decorated, with lots of fun pillows and throws everywhere; definitely appreciated the beachy boho aesthetic. It was also well-stocked in terms of lots of products like shampoo/conditioner, lotion, even dry shampoo and bug spray! This is very unexpected for a rental property, but very nice and thoughtful. They need to add kleenex though!The house also had great beach toys, my daughter really enjoyed them! Not much in the way of pool toys (a ball and one inflatable that we didn't end up getting out, but not much else), but we brought our own so it was fine. The pool was awesome; we didn't get it heated, but in late August it was wonderful. Definitely the best feature of the house! The house overall was very clean, which I know can be challenging for beach houses, so we appreciated that a lot. As a few other reviewers noted, though, there's a STRONG smell of moth balls, especially downstairs / upon first walking in; we opened all the doors and windows when we got there to try and air the place out, which helped, but even when we left we could still smell it. I understand wanting to keep the moths away, but man - there's got to be a less pungent way.Communication with the host was pretty good; the oven malfunctioned while we were there, and it took a bit to get a response (and even then, it didn't end up getting addressed while we were there - which was ok, it still worked). Being able to text her was very nice. ![First stop: the pool!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1bb59b67-8fb0-4d71-bdae-db6c888d0c94-1757244268413.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Drink, Please!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09bc3465-5f5c-4af3-a6ff-84127f08b011-1757244267199.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Aaaahhhh...](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4732d3a5-a8c2-47c2-99c6-de5b2add114a-1757244267765.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Painkillers on the back deck!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/29aeee83-c8f8-4e20-8b1d-5125871b39f4-1757244268490.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amanda S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine D. 31 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We really enjoyed our time at this location. We had no problem checking in and the kitchen was well-appointed. It was a nice kitchen for cooking in with plenty of dishes and cooking equipment. One of the main highlights for us was the saltwater pool. It was great for hanging out in the evening after a long day at the beach or out visiting other barrier islands in the area. The layout of the house was great with the master bedroom downstairs. We barely heard the kids in the two bedrooms upstairs and slept great. It even has a twin outside the master in case a sleeping partner is a little loud, lol. We set up a video game system on the TV downstairs and that was a great hangout area. The house is a 5-7 min walk to the beach, but the road was very busy and a bit sketchy to cross during peak time (July) so I dropped the family off versus walking after a couple trips. The nearest beach access was great and never too crowded. The house is far enough off the business of the bridge areas to be away from the crowds, yet close enough to get to the grocery stores and restaurants easily. The house is decorated really cool and gives a great beachy vibe. I loved the downstairs picnic table for staging things to take out the next day. We caught some crabs from the sound off the dock, but it was too shallow to fish, but fun either way. Bathrooms were nice, plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, and lots of pool and beach items. A great location thats very functional for our family of four. ##### Christine D.
