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!

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.

I've been traveling to the outer Banks for 40 years, and I can honestly say that this is the best hotel down there. Great staff great location and a very good breakfast buffet cooked by an incredibly sweet lady. Needless to say my wife, and I loved it and we will come again.
