Surfs up was such a cute place to stay! You can see the ocean from the front porch and it was only a short walk to the beach. The home was prefect and very clean! Fully stocked and felt like home. The beds and sheets were very comfortable and Rich was very responsive when we had issues with the front door lock. Definitely recommend staying here and would come back! Thanks for letting us into your home!

We had a wonderful time at Surfs Up! Such a close & easy walk to the beach with all the amenities you need in the house. Everything was comfortable and the huge front porch was lovely! We had a couple rainy days so it was great to be able to sit out there and still enjoy the views! Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Cottage, Great location!

We rented the upper unit of this property and it was perfect for our chill beach getaway. The proximity to the beach was awesome! The easy stroll meant we could pick our moments to beat the crowds or escape back to the house at the hottest part of the day. Rich quickly responded when we messaged him during our stay. Overall, it’s a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the town.

Beautiful home with everything you need!

My fiancé and family had the pleasure of staying on this property and enjoyed the two min walk to prime beach sand every day! We rented bikes down the road for exploring downtown, but LOVED being within walking distance to great food, drinks and entertainment. The home itself was gorgeous, with everything you need for your beach stay. Gorgeous front porch views and a super personable host who was helpful and responsive when we had questions. Would absolutely book this again next year!

Place is welcoming with some lovely features (bright lights, hot shower, beach towels, faucet outside, fenced in yard, visitor-controlled temperature control, etc) and walking to the beach took not even 60 seconds. The place is walkable, with a mile walk getting you to the boardwalk. There was even an event on the way we got to see. Overall, highly recommend!

Great beach rental

This beach rental is truly only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Very nicely decorated with quality furniture; the beds (mattresses) were the best of any rental I've ever had. This unit is 2nd floor which is nice as the rental has a wonderful covered porch which overlooks the ocean (at an angle). There are several beach-style restaurants nearby, as well as the Carolina Beach boardwalk/entertainment area is within walking distance (25-30 minutes).

We did have an issue with getting in using our code and I contacted the host and he responded immediately with a phone call and had us in within minutes! Great communication!

Unfair charge

Charged for stains that were there on sheets when we checked in. Totally unfair to pay for someone else’s makeup and stains. We don’t even have makeup and no one create stains on one set of sheets.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Aug 2024
The sheets in question were brand new and certainly didn't arrive with stains on them or we would have sent them back. We have the receipts and photos for proof. Based on the stains we saw it was from your dogs being on the furniture which is why we have reminder signs throughout the unit to please keep them off all furniture. I'm also a bit confused as to why you paid for the cost of replacing the sheets if you didn't cause the stains.
