About this property

Entire place

Family Home 1 Block to Beach & Downtown

Surf’s Up is an experience, not just a beach rental. It’s nested a block from the beach and just as close to downtown Kure. Small town Kure provides delicious restaurants and offers a fishing pier. Here, guests can fish, stroll along the boardwalk, and catch a few waves at dusk. All in all, Surf's Up provides a prime location for those in search of an oasis. Message us and ask what other gems Surf's Up offers :)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

We love Surfs Up!

This is our 3rd time at this house and we love it! Walkable to everything at Kure Beach and a short drive to Carolina Beach, Fort Fisher, the Ferry, or Wilmington. We love biking to the park and all around the island. The townhouse is very well-outfitted - nicely furnished and the new sofa is so comfortable. The balconies give a clear view of everything and make for wonderful dining. Matthew is so easy to work with. Will definitely stay again, and highly recommend. Thanks, Matthew!
