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.

This was our second time at this property. We love the location and proximity to the beach, but also the quietness of the neighborhood. The pool, hot tub, porch and yard fit our kids and dog needs, and we all love the great supply of puzzles!

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!

Nice Place in Corolla

The property is situated in a fairly private location with a vacant lot to one side and foliage in back for privacy with just a couple block walk to beach access. The house is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing on the decks in the morning and evenings, watching the beautiful sunsets. Thank you, Jeff

Family Vacation

We had a great week. The house was clean and well stocked and the management company was very responsive! We received detailed instructions before we got there and if there were any problems how and whom to reach out to. Loved that it was pet friendly and did not smell/look like pets were there!! Would definitely recommend this home.
