You can’t help but imagine all the potential fun in this gem of a home only a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean. Inside, you step into a living room with modern updates but plenty of casual, retro coolness. A wood burning fireplace and flat-screen smart TV and stereo promise cozy coastal ambiance alongside surf memorabilia and a comfortable collection of furnishings that inspire relaxation. Our home has been thoughtfully designed, furnished and appointed with everything you will need to feel right at home! I want you to feel like you're staying at your home away from home!

You can dine at the live-edge table near the fireplace or step into the more casual dining area in the kitchen with four seats at the breakfast bar. The living and dining room is flanked by two sets of French doors that offer double the outdoor options and lots of natural light. The fully equipped kitchen has an electric cooktop, convection oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher; all you’ll need for casual dining for your hungry surfers. You can dine outdoors, too, in a pretty, private yard with tables and lounge space located on both levels. Follow the path to the dock for yet another spot to gather! Upstairs, you will also find two thoughtfully designed bedrooms and the newly remodeled guest bath.

Downstairs you will find a private primary suite, laundry room, den and game table that seats 6 or more. Books and games are provided for your enjoyment.

You will love the privacy of the saltwater pool, fire pit, covered porch and deck after a long day at the ocean! You can even watch the wildlife in the canal right from the living room! Three ocean access points are a short walk away - one with golf cart parking. The sound side location and access to Bogue Sound right from the yard make this an ideal place for your beach vacation. Bring your friends and family to the Surf Shack and enjoy the coastal vibe!

Just a short walk to the beach. You're about 2 and a half blocks away which is closer than some ocean side properties on the island.

A Vacation Rental Agreement and valid photo ID is required to book.

We follow the cancellation policy and strongly suggest that you purchase trip insurance for your stay. We do not refund outside our cancellation policy.

Although our home has been renovated, it is not a new home. Please use caution on the sea wall. We like the quirky vibes of a classic beach cottage. If you are looking for a brand-new place, this is not for you.

Boho paradise
Surf Cove is the best! This was our third time staying here and we had a great time. We especially appreciated the pool, as it was hot and a couple of the days the surf was too rough and windy. The decor and styling inspires my creative soul ♥️

Wonderful!
The house is a cozy, peaceful , sweet beach cottage that I never wanted to leave! Easy beach access, thoughtful touches and a very cool retro vibe. The pool is great for lounging in after the day at the beach, and the fire pit is a great cherry on top! Would absolutely recommend this place to everyone!!

Great family stay
Property was as described. Really neat spot. East walk to the beach as well. We spent the majority of our time hanging out at the house and swimming in the pool. The kids ages 3-5 were content to play with the train tracks and swim all day.

A property that truly bodes creativity, artistry, and expression. It’s hard not to fall in love with such uniquely wonderful space. Every corner provides comfort to be yourself, to relax, be one with the nature around you or find your own personal happiness and escape from the busy world around you. There is so much attention to detail and you can feel the love and good vibes that went into making this house a home for traveling guests! Thank you Melissa my family can’t wait to return!!

All around wonderful!
Our stay at Surf Cove wasn't nothing short of amazing. It is the perfect blend of vintage beach cottage and modernity. It was spotless and had everything we needed. The pool was fantastic to have after spending time at the beach or to have a nice relaxing evening swimming. Our kids also loved the sound to sit on the deck and watch the boats and oysters. The location was also fantastic, so close to many different attractions. One word of caution for those traveling with little kiddos (because we need to look out for each other): there is nothing blocking the sound if outside, meaning a little one could fall in if they slip past you or open a door. We didn't have any issues, but it's worth noting!

2024 Beach Trip
Not having a front yard threw us off for a second but dont let that run you off from a great house tucked away in a great location. Houses all around but felt like we had our own safe spot hidden away. Short walk to beach, clean pool, private dock, fire pit, clean kitchen, bath rooms, and showers. We enjoyed the new porch in the evenings to catch a views of the sound while we ate outside. The swings and hammocks facing the water was a nice bonus. The time my wife spent in the swing holding our sleeping daughter while watching the water was priceless. The whole house has a relaxing feel inside and out. We would have no issue bringing friends and family back to enjoy this place. Glad we chose this for our first family trip with our little girl.
