About this property
Family Home 1 Block to Beach & Downtown
Surf’s Up is an experience, not just a beach rental. It’s nested a block from the beach and just as close to downtown Kure. Small town Kure provides delicious restaurants and offers a fishing pier. Here, guests can fish, stroll along the boardwalk, and catch a few waves at dusk. All in all, Surf's Up provides a prime location for those in search of an oasis. Message us and ask what other gems Surf's Up offers :)

What makes this property unique
Surf's Up has a beachy vibe and plenty of space for family get-togethers. In total, there’s 5 bedrooms with enough beds for 11 people. On the first floor, there’s a twin sized futon, queen bed, and bathroom. Upstairs, there’s the primary bedroom, fully stocked kitchen, and living room. The third floor has 2 queen beds, 2 full baths, and a bunk bed with a twin size mattress. Plenty of space for large crowds. Even better, you can hear the waves from most bedrooms. Every morning you wake up, you'll know you're in paradise. Message us and let us know the last time you took a vacation and what you're looking forward to on this one!
