Surf’s Up is an outstanding home on Bald Head Island, ideally located near the Maritime Market and conveniently situated between the Bald Head Island Club and the Shoals Club. The beach is just steps away, with direct beach access right outside the back door.The home is beautifully appointed, thoughtfully updated, and features a well-stocked kitchen with everything needed for cooking and dining in. Both golf carts were in excellent condition and made getting around the island effortless.The garage was fully stocked with beach chairs, and the laundry room was supplied with plenty of beach towels, making beach days easy and stress-free. Just bring a Shibumi Shade, and you'll be ready to enjoy the sand and surf.What truly set this property apart was the exceptional host, who was responsive, welcoming, and readily available to answer any questions throughout our stay. We highly recommend Surf’s Up and would gladly stay here again.

Excellent location, the perfect place for our group of 8. Ran into a small issue (totally out of anyone’s control) and the host was incredibly quick to get the situation handled. Would absolutely stay here again!

Mixed experience.
The good: Grateful to have this house as an option in this price range on Bald Head. The beds were comfortable and clean. The coffee pot was missing and when I reached out to owner, she had someone bring a new coffee pot within an hour. The house is decorated nicely. Across street from beach with views from master bedroom.
The not so great: Messaged owner through VRBO two days prior to checkin to inquire about checkin process. The morning of checkin I still had not heard back and messaged them again with no response. So I had to contact VRBO to help me get in contact with owner. (Experience with VRBO customer service was fantastic). They couldn’t get through to owner at first but finally made contact with owner and she explained she had a medical procedure and got behind, so this may be a one off but nevertheless the experience gave us anxiety that something happened to our reservation. Once we got her phone number, communication was no longer an issue. I think they spray all the patio furniture during the cleaning process which left all the cushions wet but I suppose it’s nice to have them cleaned- you just won’t be able to use first day or so. The fridge/freezer had a terrible fish smell. I’m sure this was due to previous renters but maybe fridge needed a thorough disinfectant cleaning to rid of smell (not just a baking soda box). We ran out of toilet paper and when I requested more, owner told me they only supply first roll. However, it wasn’t even a full roll when we checked in, it was only 1/4 full. If this is the rule they follow, they should leave the partial roll but also leave a full unused roll for guests. It seems petty not to provide a full roll when you pay almost $2000 for 3 nights.
Two golf carts provide were good to have. One golf cart is slower and brakes funky. You have to be sure to park the golf carts on the correct side as chargers go with specific golf cart. This was noted on a piece of tape on the wall of garage. It would be nice to have this communicated in either a message or in a binder in the house of useful info so it is not missed.
Also of note, this is a townhouse, not a house. It shares a wall with another unit. We didn’t have any issues with the neighbors but just was not expecting it as it is not noted in listing.
