This is a great beach property with lots of separate living spaces to accommodate multiple family members or friends. It features high ceilings, a beautiful front porch and is steps from one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. This feels like a true vacation house with wood paneling, and some quirkiness…but that is some of its appeal. Host was traveling and was transitioning to an a digital information packet so there were a few hiccups, but he made it right in the end. We would return.

Amazing stay

The pictures don’t do this beautiful beach home justice. It’s a wonderful old home with gorgeous paneling, high ceilings, a big porch, and a perfect location. One minute to the beach and even less to some of the best restaurants and cute shops on Sullivans Island. The host was great to work with, check in and out were both a breeze.

Every part of our stay at Surfs Up was wonderful. The house is huge and the location is perfect. We had a group of 7 adults and everyone was very comfortable. There is plenty of privacy and the house was sparkling clean. Its a two minute walk to the beach and downtown restaurants. Communication with host was very easy. We can't wait to stay here again. Highly recommended.

The house was a little more run down than the pictures on VRBO show. Older fence with some pickets missing. Not all the windows have curtains or blinds. We did not stay after seeing numerous roaches in the kitchen after dark. The location is terrific however with lots of space to spread out if you are more than one family.
