Surfside Retreat Oceanfront Home + Pets Stay Free!

Welcome to Surfside Retreat by KEES Vacations!

Note: this area of Buxton experienced erosion in late 2025 removing the pool from the home. The home is still in great condition with excellent views of the Atlantic Ocean. New for 2026: Hot Tub will be available for the 2026 season.

Experience your next Outer Banks vacation at this spectacular pet-friendly, oceanfront home with the beach just steps from your door. Located in Buxton, you will spend time on one of the most prized beaches of Hatteras Island near the renowned Cape Point. Discover endless opportunities for relaxation and fun at this oceanfront home.

Hang loose with all the outdoor entertainment that Surfside Retreat has to offer! Kick back with a drink in the shaded lounge area. Whip up some fresh local fish for the whole family on either the gas or charcoal grills! Need a lift?

Entering the first level of the home, a rec room provides wall to wall oceanfront views as you shoot pool. A wet bar offers full size refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher to make mid-day and late-night snacking convenient. You will find two bedrooms on this level - A King bedroom with deck access, and a kid-friendly bunk room with two Pyramid Twin bunks. There is a full shared bathroom in the hallway.

Head upstairs to the second level of the home and you will find four King En Suites, each with access to a deck, and one with handicap features. Every bedroom in the home has its own TV!

On the third level of the home, you will find a great room which boasts vaulted ceilings and wall to wall windows to ensure unobstructed, pristine ocean views! A King En Suite with a walk-in tile shower and dual vanity, can be found on this level. Watch the morning news on the large screen home theater system while relaxing on the plush couches. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen is furnished with two refrigerators, two dishwashers, double wall ovens and a long breakfast bar that seats five. There is plenty of seating for larger groups at the main dining table which seats another 10. Pour some drinks and relax on the expansive sun deck, accessible from the great room, which provides unobstructed views of the Atlantic which will surely leave you awestruck.

This is one of three nearly identical neighboring homes - rent one or a combination of the three for your group. If this home is already rented, be sure to check out sister homes, Hatteras Retreat and Cape Point Retreat.

Huge Potential – Huge Disappointment

We stayed at this property from Aug 1–8 and were extremely disappointed. Upon arrival, we found the garage trash overflowing, the front door left open, and half the home's power out due to tripped breakers. The elevator, crucial for a handicapped guest, was not working, and the home was in an unacceptable state of cleanliness.Level 1 (bunk area) had unchanged, stained "adult used" bedding with dirty rags left behind—disgusting and unacceptable. The floors were filthy, cleaning supplies scattered, tissues on furniture, and the movie room was unusable due to non-functional equipment. The refrigerator didn’t cool, the lock on the deck door was broken, and many other safety and maintenance concerns were present.Level 2 had similarly dirty floors, broken vacuums (one nearly caught fire), and malfunctioning plumbing and fans. Level 3 and the kitchen had extensive grime, mold in dishwashers, a leaking sink, and disorganized supplies. The main living area furniture was worn out and uncomfortable. Vents throughout the house were dusty and moldy, and a fire alarm was missing.By day two, ants appeared; by day five, cockroaches. The pool area had broken chairs, a non-working sound system, and an unusable outdoor shower. Maintenance was slow and unresponsive on arrival night, despite repeated emergency calls. Issues were only partially addressed the next day. The home has great potential but is poorly maintained and mismanaged. For the price, it falls far short of expectations.

The location of this property was unbelieable and had all of the amenities we were looking for. Beautiful setup (we certainly got our steps in!) and was the perfect balance of sand, sea and pool. Definitely would recommend this location and property.Constructive Feedback: We noticed several "broken" items throughout the house that we reported and walked into the house to a "chirping" smoke detector that we had to end up replacing ourselves after multiple calls for maintenance (did not arrive until following morning). Other than those small things, we had a great stay.

Wonderful setting

Overall, we had a very enjoyable time at your property. We only had a couple of problems. One is on the third floor. The water in the shower does not get hot and number two. You have an ant infestation. We had to throw a lot of food away that they got into.

Wonderful except needs a manager

A beautiful property with everything you need. However the property needs someone to manage - not properly cleaned (dirty kitchen, several bathrooms) property was not locked and elevator partially broken on arrival, several doors could not be opened or locked, outdoor gates and doors need repairs or maintaining, incorrect or missing linens, only one small thin towel per person provided, hot water system partially malfunctioning for a week, BBQ grill in very poor shape, pool full of sand. Multiple window screens torn or missing. WE ENJOYED THE VISIT AND THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE FIVE STARS, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anyone to check to be sure routine maintenance, cleaning, and expectations for a property charging 2000 per day is done.

Very nice location!

Missing some key kitchen basics like can opener, wine opener etc. Some amenities were broken or significantly outdated such as one of the washing machines and one dishwasher along with a couple of the stove top burners. Amazing location with gorgeous views!

Surfside Retreat Oceanfront

The house was everything we could have wanted for our family reunion. Beautiful oceanfront with plenty of room to gather or to have some quiet time, wonderful decks, well equipped kitchen, and theater & game rooms as bonuses.

Could be better

All was well and we enjoyed our stay. Elevator was not always responsive, especially at level one. Had to repair dishwashers, one on left for leaking, fitted the rubber seal to stop leaking. Dishwasher on the right will not stay on track, so care is needed when used.

Pleasant stay

It was nice enough but definitely need to ipdate some of the furniture. Beds are very uncomfortable. Also found a used bandaid in shower. Otherwise it was nice enough, but a little pricey for the wear and tear of property.

Checks all the boxes

Perfect house for a beach getaway with family. We stayed for 3 nights in early June. Unbeatable location right on the beach with fantastic ocean views. Lots of fridge space for food and libations and having access to a propane grill is clutch. Although the house is fully loaded, you'll want to bring your own beach accessories & umbrellas as those are not included.
