You can put up the sun shade and/or fire up the grill and enjoy this area for outdoor family meals, chilling after a fun day at the beach, or morning coffee to start the day.

This was a great stay for our family! You would never know it was a pet-friendly property because it was so clean and tidy! The local coffee, welcome gifts, doggie bags and laundry pods etc were so nice to have on hand! The outdoor living space was amazing. We lived on the large porch upstairs and were able to have privacy with the downstairs living space. We walked to everything such as the beach, pizza and local shops. It was a great family space with great memories shared!
Can’t say enough good things about this home! From the moment we pulled in it looked very inviting. Inside was very clean, comfortable and decorated in a fun motif. Beds were comfortable. Outside deck was wonderful with seating, table, fire pit and gas grill. Host was very attentive and accommodating. He supplied every essential you could possibly need and then some! Also had fully loaded beach cart. Beach access right down the street, easy walk. Outdoor shower was great! A lot more spa feeling than your average outdoor shower. Perfect location. Restaurants all within a short walk. Wouldn’t have to drive at all if you didn’t want to. Loved our stay!
We loved our stay at Bubbles Up Surf Shack! All of the amenities are great (especially the whole deck setup, outdoor shower, and beach gear). And the walk to the beach is not bad at all.
This was our second stay at Bubbles Up and yet again, it did not disappoint! The hosts provide all the essentials plus some which is so helpful when you’re coming for a quick trip. The location is also great, we’ve loved being in a spot that’s super walkable to the beach as well as restaurants and shops. Truly couldn’t ask for better!
Perfect Retreat!! Owners put so much into the decor and details to create a Buffett inspired retreat! Even if rain would keep you from the beach, the home would make you feel like you never left it! We would definitely return!! Only a quick walk to food and entertainment!!! Beach access in minutes!!
We had an amazing stay at BubblesUp Surf Shack! From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing beach getaway. They thought of everything. One of our favorite touches was the Victrola record player—such a fun and unique addition that really added to the laid-back surf shack vibe. We spent evenings unwinding with music, which made the whole experience feel even more special.The huge deck was another highlight. It was perfect for morning coffee, evening conversations, and just soaking in the coastal air. It really extended the living space and gave us a place to slow down and connect.The location in Atlantic Beach is ideal—close to the beach and everything you’d want to explore, yet still peaceful and relaxing.And we can’t say enough about Rick—he was absolutely the best. So helpful, responsive, and genuinely cared that we had a great stay. That kind of hospitality makes all the difference.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and memorable beach escape!

Sara … we are humbled by the wonderful write up of your stay with us. We greatly enjoy providing a memorable fun experience for our guests and look forward to hosting you once again when you come back to Atlantic Beach.
House was beautifully decorated. The host was very responsive including extras for our stay. We did have a problem, but they took care of it as quick as they could. It's in a great location blocks from the beach. Also, great deck for sitting outside. Fireworks were seen from the back yard from the Seafood Festival.
Bubbles Up was great for our family of four and our dog. Very clean, nice amenities (linens, towels, laundry pods, beach bags & chairs, soap/shampoo), friendly & communicative host. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, using the outdoor shower and the short walk to the beach.
Bubbles Up was charming and the management great! We would definitely stay there again. I would recommend the Buffett get away.

James … thanks so much for you kind review of your stay at Bubbles Up Surf Shack. You are a great guest and welcome back anytime and I greatly appreciate your concern for the sunshade in the high winds. Cheers till your next trip to AB!
Bubbles up was exactly what we were looking for during our family vacation! It was enough room for my family of 6! Our favorite spot was the porch at night with our complimentary margarita wine! Location was great; just a walking distance of the beach and other businesses. Our host Rick was fantastic before, during and after the visit! I highly recommend staying at bubbles up!

Kristen … so glad you enjoyed your time at Bubbles Up Surf Shack and took advantage of our awesome deck. We look forward to hosting you and your family on your next trip to Atlantic Beach.
Our family of 4 (with 2 Teen boys) and the BEST time at Bubbles Up Surf Shack. The location was perfect in terms of proximity to beach, our favorite eatery (Shark Shack!), shopping, and other hot spots. The entire condo had been renovated including super cute design touches. They've found great ways to maximize all the space. Outdoor shower was amazing! It felt sort of like a luxury hotel stay which is not common with beach rentals. Host was super responsive. We will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Bubbles Up in Atlantic Beach! The accommodations were perfect—clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The home had everything we needed and more, with well-stocked amenities that made our stay incredibly convenient.
The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sun and surf every day. The outdoor spaces were equally impressive, offering a great place to relax and unwind in the evenings.
What truly set our experience apart was the exceptional hospitality. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. Their local recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our trip even further.
We can't recommend Bubbles Up enough for anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway. We will definitely be returning!

The downstairs room was great for Grandma (me) and my little pups. My daughter, SIL and two young grandkids were upstairs. The outdoor shower was a hit with the kids, as the weather was warm even though it's November! I even used it rather than go up the stairs. Beach access was easy, and the home nicely equipped with cart, chairs, and beach toys. It was an easy drive into Beaufort, to the Aquarium and the Fort. We did buy paper plates as we didn't want to handwash dishes. With 5 of us trying to eat at the same time, or be in the living room, it was a little crowded. But, that was a minimal issue as there was a large deck to enjoy. Overall, we agreed we'd be back!

About the host
Hosted by Rick E
Though lived in numerous locations over the years, most of my life has been here in NC. We love the Emerald Coast and love the ability to share this home with you.
Why they chose this property
Beyond the cool vibe from this old school beach house community. Its all about convenience. Just park the car and walk to everything you need: Beach, Restaurants, Brewery, Bars, Shops.
What makes this property unique
We wanted to create an old school beach shack vibe with the decor. Multiple surfboards hanging in living room, surf van mural in main bedroom, crashing waves mural in back bedroom, peace sign and beach decor in lower bedroom. Just want to create a cool place where guests can come and chill and enjoy the wonders that Atlantic Beach has to offer.
