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.

If you appreciate the character and charm of a classic beach cottage with modern updates—and don't mind a few quirks—Surf Cove might just become your favorite getaway spot.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Mason

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Melissa Mason! I grew up on the Crystal Coast and started working in vacation rentals as a teenager with the very first rental company on Emerald Isle. You could say welcoming guests to this beautiful place is in my DNA.

I started by managing my own beach home and slowly grew into helping others do the same—now I get to take care of a handpicked collection of homes where families, couples, and friends can make lifelong memories.

At 34 North Vacations, I believe your vacation should be easy, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches. From clean, well-stocked homes to local recommendations and responsive service, I’m here to make sure your time at the beach is exactly what you hoped for (and then some).

What makes this property unique

Welcome to Surf Cove, a coastal retreat nestled on a quiet street on Bogue Banks. Located on a barrier island, the home offers easy access to both the Atlantic Ocean and Bogue Sound. With mild weather year-round, it’s a perfect destination for outdoor activities in every season.

The home is set in a peaceful, well-maintained neighborhood with a small boat launch and a community dock, making it easy to enjoy time on the water. Multiple areas throughout the property invite you to relax, unwind, and enjoy the laid-back coastal vibe.

Tucked along a quiet canal, guests often enjoy watching herons hunt along the shoreline and listening to fish jump in the evenings—a serene natural setting that adds to the charm.

Inside, you’ll notice attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout. I have deep roots in the vacation rental industry—from a first job cleaning rentals on Emerald Isle to years of experience creating memorable guest stays.

Every effort has been made to ensure your comfort and enjoyment. The goal is simple: to make Surf Cove a place you’ll want to return to year after year.
