Best spot on the island for a couple, a few friends, or family of 3-4. Freshly remodeled with new paint, blinds, beds, couch, tech, dishwasher, kitchen table and chairs, porch sectional, and more!

Park in your reserved spot and you'll walk past the outdoor shower and hose and into the back of the home. Once inside the master bedroom you'll notice the new queen bed, new storage cabinets on the wall and wicker drawers under the bed, new washer and dryer, window AC, and master half bath with new fixtures. There aren't many 2br homes available on the island, and of those, nearly all have only 1 bath. This additional half bath is a game changer, and makes a stay so much more enjoyable.

The kitchen is complete with flat top range, new Bosch dishwasher, new pots/pans/silverware/plates/knives/utensils, and new table and chairs. The Wi-Fi repeater ensures you'll have a strong connection throughout the home. The stainless fridge is just a year or two old and easily holds all you'll need to stay full and refreshed during your stay.

The full bath with 42 stall shower and new vanity, mirror, and fixtures.

The second bedroom is ideally suited for two kids with brand new custom bunk beds with huge drawers underneath and brand new twin mattresses. The window AC will keep them cool at night, or if they're waiting out a rainy day with the brand new TV - which includes a Roku stick, Switch Dock, and USB power supply, all housed in brand new custom cabinetry that closes quickly to hide the evidence of a late night of gaming or movies.

The Living Room has a super comfy settee across from a brand new couch, new TV, new Xfinity broadband router, USB charging station, coat/purse hooks, window AC, and ceiling fan.

In the front of the house is an extremely cozy porch with brand new outdoor sectional and rug, folding drink tables, and the seclusion of custom railings topped with flower-filled planters.

The best part You're close to EVERYTHING! From the porch, you can actually SEE Churn House (ice cream, 1/2 block), Randazzo's (takeout/eat-in Italian food, 1/2 block), The Grubb (new for 2025, extended hours diner food, 1/2 block), Sandcastle Putt Putt (new in 2024, minigolf with tons of water features and treats to eat, 1/2 block), Sandcastle Park (with play sets for big kids and little kids, 1/2 block), basketball courts and tennis courts (1 block). If the ocean is calling you, just head to the end of the block, and it's 1.5 blocks away. About a 3 minute walk, short enough that our kids don't bother with flops or sandals. And at 34th street, there's a long/wide plastic runway from the street, making it even easier to get a wagon onto the beach. BYO or use ours. We also have 4 beach tags to lend during your stay so you're all set!

And all of that is just what's in front of the house; behind there's even more. Right across the alley is Johnny B. Goode (ice cream, incredible, 1/2 block) and Hoy's (has everything you forgot, plus stuff you didn't know you needed, 1/2 block). And just beyond that are Wawa (1.5 blocks), CVS (2 blocks), and Acme (3 blocks).

Please bring your own linens (sheets and towels). The beds have duvets with covers and pillows (feel free to bring your own of course if you're more comfortable).

    Joe and Holly were very good communicators from the start and answered any questions promptly. The Surf Shack is exactly as listed and very well organized. It was perfect for a long weekend getaway for me and my 2 sisters. We’ve stayed all over the island in the past 30 years, but these particular few blocks were new to us. So much within walking distance. The 34th beach access was so nice! We especially enjoyed coffee on the cozy porch and long talks in the kitchen. Don’t hesitate to stay in this cozybeach apt.!

    Joe & Holly were awesome host. The communication was great and check-in couldn't have been easier. The place was nicely updated and perfect size for my family of 4. You couldn't beat the location with 2 ice cream shops a 1/2 a block away. The walk to the beach was only 1 block. We would definitely stay again.

    Our family enjoyed our visit to ocean city. The apartment was very clean, the space was utilized extremely efficiently. I loved the outside patio. The plants made it feel private and cozy. Thank you for allowing us to stay

    We had a terrific stay, home matched description and photos. Good communication with owner. Enjoyed walking to the beach and swimming in the ocean, warmer water than expected. Convenient to places to walk to for meals and treats like the Sandwich Bar (cash/venmo only) near 33rd street entrance and Dot’s, recommend both. Loved reading on the shaded porch. Can tell owners put pride and care in setting up their beach house for others to enjoy. Totally recommend.

    The Surf Shack was perfect. We were comfy for a short weekend, last minute trip to the beach. Close to everything we needed, within walking distance. We walked to the ACME to grab food supplies and made dinners and breakfasts at the house before 2 great days on the beach. Each room had plenty of space for what we needed, would stay here again in a heartbeat! Hosts are easy to reach if needed. Thank you for a very enjoyable weekend!

    This was the perfect spot for our family of 4 (with 2 young kids) to spend a few days close to the beach. We had everything we needed, and were close to restaurants, attractions, and only a block and half from the beach. We hope to be back for future stays!

    This place was great! Very well equipped—we like to cook and this place had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, shower was great and I love the comfy porch furniture and pretty flowers. The location is perfect, quick walk to Acme, Wawa and restaurants. The beach is a quick block away.
