Short stay
Only big issue was there was no way to cool off the room which was almost 80 degrees in winter so we had to open the windows. Hotel was empty except for our group. Concierge was responsive before and after our stay.

The Surfside is a very quaint establishment right on the water. It has a small restaurant/bar I did not have a chance to go into, there were complementary bicycles to use as well. The room was decorated simply and very clean!

This was a great place to stay! We upgraded the room for a view and the beach was right outside our porch. Hearing the ocean and seeing the sunset was beautiful. The bed was also super comfy.

A Gem of a Hotel
I found this fantastic property on a recent business trip. I would rebook this property in a heartbeat and want to visit it during the Spring/Summer months. I loved everything about it - location, amenities, the Little Pub, all of it!
I love The Surfside! The room was spotless and adorably furnished; also loved Little Pub. Food and drinks were awesome and our bartender was a lot of fun!

Quick Night Away
What a lovely quick one night away. My husband and I just wanted a quick local overnight. We had dinner and drinks at Little Pub and then enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful location. The staff in the restaurant is absolutely great. We showed up late after a show when they were about to close but the gentleman working took our order, and delivered it to our room. Great food, great service. I wish the girl checking us in told us about coffee in the common room. Would have made the morning brighter! Lovely place.

Cool place on the beach! Loved the decor and or room. Beds were comfortable and the coffee bar was awesome complete it’s own beach balcony. We were only there for one night so can’t say about the restaurant, but it looked like a nice place to eat.

Great resort and beautiful beach.
Such a beautiful little resort. Recently renovated, clean, and comfy. Just bring your swim shoes because the beach is rocky and cuts bare feet. But it is absolutely beautiful!!!

On return, post concert, we had to wade through a flooded road due to significant rainfall. No issue of the hotel, but apparently a problem in that locale as there is a flood measuring post planted roadside, at the end of the seawall. Front desk girl was courteous and efficient. Bartenders were spot-on. All in all, a nice spot.
