This place suits me perfectly! They offer free parking, a picnic area, and allow pets, which my dog loves. Staff helped with tech issues on my first visit. Highly recommend it for a cozy getaway. I’m coming back for Christmas!

beachside trail, ocean view, cozy layout

The smart TV setup was confusing, and it took ages to get it working!!! Grab bars in the shower would be useful, and a quieter bathroom fan would make for a better experience!!!

Why I’m torn on this

The view was absolutely stunning, and the cozy seating areas offered a perfect spot to enjoy sunsets! Friendly staff ensured every detail was attended to with care.

Yet, the manager’s treatment felt a bit off-putting, especially for families. It made enjoying communal spaces uncomfortable!

Comfortable room, convenient location, with a kitchenette that exceeded my expectations as we were able to prepare a quick meal before heading out to explore nearby beaches and trails.

No problems at all.

Surf Inn offers an incredible location right by the beach, making it perfect for early morning walks. My room had a large window with an amazing ocean view, and I enjoyed breakfast while watching the waves. The owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The room was small but had everything we needed, including a coffee pot. The kitchenette was a nice bonus. Beds were super comfy, perfect for a cozy stay. Location was amazing, right by the beach. Just note, not much of a view from our room. Really enjoyed the peaceful vibe here.

late breakfast

We rode bikes to the beach in the morning and enjoyed the fire pit with ocean views. The location is perfect for short walks to nearby restaurants. The owner was super friendly, and we enjoyed whale watching from our room. Breakfast was also a nice treat, just wish it started a bit earlier!

The breakfast started later than expected at 8:30 am. It was a little inconvenient for those eager to start their day.

cleanliness issues

I stayed here for two nights with family while exploring the local attractions. The location was perfect, offering beautiful sunset views right outside, and the convenience of being near a gas station and supermarket was a big plus. The room had a kitchen that was a welcome surprise, but the beds were uncomfortable and in need of an update. Overall, the experience was decent for a short stay, but some improvements in cleanliness and room conditions are definitely needed.

Unexpected ocean views delight

Waking up to the sound of waves crashing was magical! The room was spacious and clean, and the friendly owner made our breakfast experience special with great recommendations.

However, the lack of kitchen utensils made morning coffee preparation a bit awkward. Also, the sheets had a strong scent that could be irritating for some.

noise issue

We stumbled upon this cozy spot while driving down the coast and were pleasantly surprised at the spacious, clean room and charming décor. I loved relaxing by the fire pit and enjoyed morning walks on the nearby beach. The only downside was the noise from the power washing outside, but it didn't overshadow how nice the stay was! 🌅
