Just a short walk (about 2.5 blocks) from the Atlantic Ocean, Surf Cove is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and appreciate coastal life. Tucked along a peaceful canal, you’ll spot herons wading, hear fish jumping at nighttime, and maybe even catch a sunset from the porch swing.

Inside, the living room blends modern updates with vintage beach bungalow appeal—think surf memorabilia, a wood-burning fireplace, intelligent TV, and cozy furnishings that encourage you to kick back and stay awhile. The dining area features a elegant live-edge table near the fire, with additional seating at the kitchen breakfast bar.

The kitchen is completely equipped with an electric cooktop, convection oven, microwave, dishwasher, and everything you’ll need to prepare meals for hungry beachgoers. Two sets of French doors fill the space with light and open to outdoor dining areas on both levels—ideal for gathering with family and friends.

Upstairs, you’ll find two thoughtfully styled bedrooms and a freshly refreshed guest bath. Downstairs offers a private primary suite, a den with game table, laundry room, and a selection of books and games for rainy days or cozy evenings in.

Spend your afternoons relaxing by the saltwater pool, watching wildlife from the deck, or roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. With three close by beach access points—one with golf cart parking—and simple paddle access to the Sound, this is a ideal blend of ocean fun and peaceful canalfront serenity.

Please Note: A signed vacation rental agreement and valid photo ID are required to confirm your booking.

We honor our cancellation policy and strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for added tranquility of mind.

If you savor the character and charm of a classic beach bungalow with modern updates—and don't mind a few quirks—Surf Cove might just become your favorite hideaway spot.
