Fantastic Surfside Grill

I absolutely loved the fish tacos at the Surfside Grill! They were huge and delicious, making for a great meal after a day at the beach. The outdoor seating area added to the relaxing atmosphere as we enjoyed our time by the fire. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with tasty food!

Comfortable Beachfront Suite

Our beachfront suite was incredibly comfortable and well-appointed. With a full kitchen, we had everything we needed to cook meals. I loved the high definition TV and the cozy ambiance. Enjoying coffee in the mornings while gazing out at the ocean was a highlight of our stay!

Cozy Movie Nights

The lobby area had a fantastic selection of DVDs along with complimentary popcorn, perfect for cozy nights in after a long day of adventuring. It felt great to curl up on the couch and enjoy a classic film while it poured rain outside. They truly have every movie under the sun!

Very nice Soaker Tub

The soaker tub in our suite was a dream come true! Perched overlooking the ocean, it offered stunning views while I enjoyed a warm soak after a long day of surfing. It was the perfect way to unwind and take in the beautiful sunsets - definitely a feature I wish I could have every day!
