The accommodations are always very clean and the staff is super friendly! This feels like our home away from home…the wonderful morning breakfasts, the welcoming wine/cheese social, just the comfortable lobby layout makes you feel like you are visiting family more than staying at a hotel. We will always return to Surf Side on any trip to OBX!

10/10 Exceptional

We met our kids here for a three day vacation. We stayed in the Ocean Front corner unit and the view and sounds of the ocean were fabulous. Nice size room with a fridge, coffee maker and microwave. The only thing i was not thrilled about was the shampoo and conditioner. I just did not like the smell of it. Other then that everything else was perfect. I would certainly stay here again.
