We had such a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this home to anyone visiting Bald Head Island. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed, and the location made it incredibly easy to slow down and really enjoy the island. It was the perfect home base for our family vacation, and we’d happily stay here again.

This is not a single dwelling, but rather a split two unit structure. Has privacy to entrance and crofter. Incredible upgrades, feels so much larger and luxurious In person! Beds comfortable, and rooms spacious, spread out over three floors! Great communication and ease of check in & out!

Lovely stay at Surf's Up

Our family spent a recent week at Surf's Up and had a blast! The unit is well maintained and equipped. We do a lot of cooking and grilling and we had everything we needed. The screen porch is excellent--we ate outside for almost every meal. Beach access is superb. Carts were in great shape. This is our favorite neighborhood on BHI.

Surf’s Up

Our stay was awesome. Perfect house, great beach, relaxing porch, and couldn’t ask for more. Fun on the beach, the splash pad and pool at the BHI Club, and good food. The sunsets were magnificent but did not see any sunrises (sleeping late)! Golf cart rides were fun and saw some deer on our late afternoon adventures. Highly recommend.

Great experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Surfs Up! The location is perfect--right next to the beach and a short golf cart ride to the grocery store, Mike's bites, and BHI club. The property is nicely updated. It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The host was very responsive. The property is a duplex but seems to be well insulated as we didn't hear any noise from the other unit. I would highly recommend this property. We would love to stay here again!

Amazing Beach House

I can’t say enough good things about this house. I highly recommend booking it. The communication with the owner was easy and one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had with VRBO owners. You aren’t dealing with some property manager, you are dealing with the owner who is so nice. The house is recently renovated and really well done. Kitchen is well stocked and layout is perfect for families. The golf carts are in great condition and plenty of beach chairs and towels. It’s just off the beach and the views are great as well. We look forward to returning again soon.

Surf’s Up is an outstanding home on Bald Head Island, ideally located near the Maritime Market and conveniently situated between the Bald Head Island Club and the Shoals Club. The beach is just steps away, with direct beach access right outside the back door.The home is beautifully appointed, thoughtfully updated, and features a well-stocked kitchen with everything needed for cooking and dining in. Both golf carts were in excellent condition and made getting around the island effortless.The garage was fully stocked with beach chairs, and the laundry room was supplied with plenty of beach towels, making beach days easy and stress-free. Just bring a Shibumi Shade, and you'll be ready to enjoy the sand and surf.What truly set this property apart was the exceptional host, who was responsive, welcoming, and readily available to answer any questions throughout our stay. We highly recommend Surf’s Up and would gladly stay here again.
