Kure Beach, North Carolina
***As of March 9, 2024, the HOA informed us that they will be shutting down the indoor pool/hot tub area as of April 8th.
The work involves draining the pool (3 days); erecting scaffolding (1 full day) and then having the contractor come in and do the removal of the existing baffles and installation of the new baffles. The contractor estimates this could take 4-5 weeks to complete the phase of the work. Once the work is complete, the scaffolding will be removed; the pool will be filled back up, chemicals balanced and water re-heated. This takes a minimum of 3 days. They estimate the pool and hot tub will not be accessible until at least the second week of May if not later. All involved will do their best to ensure the work is done in as timely a fashion as possible, but there are factors that may be out of our control that could change the timeline. ***

The location was great, nice ocean views, convenient to the pool area, and beach was not as crowded as when we stay in Carolina Beach. The condo was not cleaned well however. We have an 11 month old and within the first 10 minutes of being there her knees and tops of her feet were black from crawling on the floor. There was a load of laundry in the dryer. We had to push the twin beds together for our toddler to not roll out and when we moved the nightstand there were 15-20 wadded up tissues all behind it and the headboards. Other than the cleanliness it was a great size for our small family and you can’t beat the view!!
Everything was as expected and wonderful. It was as if we had lived there forever. We did have to wash the patio doors for a better view, no big deal. Seeing sunrise over the ocean from my bed was particularly magical. The area was low key and nice and quiet.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: the Surf's up was not a disappointment it was so close to the water it was almost like you could reach out and touch it the condo was clean and comfortable really like the hand held shower head it was just an outstanding place will go again. My sister has never stayed on the oceanfront she fell in love did not want to leave..

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The one big regret? That for some reason ownership does not replace mattress in the master bedroom. After numerous reviews cited this same issue, no resolution. My wife and I took 2 blankets and beach towels to spread in the middle of the bed to help level the mattress - to no avail. We ended up in the 2nd bedroom on twin beds. I would recommend this unit 100% with 5 stars only AFTER confirmation that the mattress has been replaced.
The mattress in the master bedroom is terrible and needs replaced and the sofa has no padding in the cushions. The sliding door either needs to be replaced or greased as it is very hard to open and close and the vents are rusted out and dangerous. The only way we would stay there again would be if all of the items were fixed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great beach vacation and very much enjoyed our stay at Surf's up. I would certainly consider staying again. The location is perfect: oceanfront, close to beach access, and close to the pool. The property is updated and we were very comfortable there. My recommendations for the owners would be to replace the master bathroom mattress (it's horrible), and replace the vent covers on the floor which are super rusty (my kids fell on these a few times). I would also note the slider (to go on and off the deck) was extremely difficult to open/close and needs to be addressed. Overall, very happy with my stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is amazing, it was so nice to stay in right on the beach. The beach access is a very quick 2 minute walk from the condo, and the pool is right next to the condo. The aquarium and ferry are just down the road, and the beach was recently renourished. With two young children, you couldn't have picked a better spot! The condo was well stocked with basic kitchen needs, and the unit was overall pretty clean. The deck is a great size, with comfortable chairs to sit in and watch storms roll in off the ocean.But the bed in the primary bedroom needs to be replaced. The bed frame creaked loudly every single time you moved, and as others have stated, the mattress slopes to the middle. It was impossible for two people to sleep comfortably. My husband and I are not large people, but we ended up alternating who slept in the bed and who slept on the couch, which was less than ideal on vacation. I hate to take off stars just for one thing, but not being able to sleep well really did impact the overall quality of our stay. If the mattress was replaced I would have given it 5 stars.The folks at Bryant were friendly and very easy to work with. I'll rent properties from them again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is in a perfect location with amazing views of the sand and ocean. The living area is lovely and comfortably furnished. The kitchen has modern appliances and plenty of dishes and cookware. The bathrooms were very clean and updated. The only negative is that the master bedroom mattress is extremely uncomfortable. As other reviewers noted it somehow sloped to the middle on both sides. We both sunk into the middle and had to climb our way out. Not good for bad backs! Regardless we truly enjoyed the condo and the amazing view and location!
Condo was decorated nicely, and furniture was comfortable. TV worked well and so did the internet. This Condo is really nice, just a few simple things need fixed. The walk to the beach was a little longer than we prefer, but not horrible. The pool is a nice way to cool off.
