We stayed only one night but would definitely come back again. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed our afternoon at the little beach.
Loved the coffee in room 5 and dinner at the “The little Pub“.

This boutique-style hotel was everything we needed and more. We were only passing through, so we only got to stay one night. The Surfside was so cozy and charming. You walk out and boom, you are on the beach. The walkable restaurant choices have great food. The room was spacious, the bed was huge (and so so cozy!). I loved everything about it. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Our stay here was one word PERFECT.
I booked this stay for my friends bday weekend and we had the best time. The property was aesthetically pleasing, peaceful and most importantly safe enough to go to our room after a girls night out. We loved it so much! We’re already planning to come back soon!!!🤍🌊🐚✨

Enjoyed fun hotel
Fresh, clean, and fun. Great little area, wish we would have brought scooter for son to ride around great area.
Little Pub was delicious but busy. Great atmosphere with lots of windows to see the water even in the cool weather.
Easy uber to total mortgage arena events.
