The main hotel is beautiful- unfortunately we were in the “additional building/ building B” putting this review out there to warn you of that. There is no elevator in building B the rooms are smaller and the condition of the bathrooms - not as nice. Request the main building when booking!

Exactly what we hoped for from a beachfront hotel. The staff was attentive to every detail - well maintained, clean, friendly. Indoor pool with hot tub and outdoor pool with ample deck and lounge seating. Various snacks in the lobby through the day - popcorn, wine and cheese, and fresh baked cookies! Free breakfast included was a full breakfast and delicious. We will definitely be back.

The hotel was very nice and clean. Many amenities including a wonderful free breakfast, chair rental, free fresh cookies, popcorn, wine and cheese. 2 pools. Excellent ocean and sound views. Friendly, helpful staff. We did have to report that we saw a roach in our room, that we tried to catch and kill, to no avail. I was very surprised and hated to see that, given how clean the property was. I think sometimes these crafty bugs are unavoidable. We very thoroughly checked all of our belongings, so as not to bring any home. Despite that incident, I would still recommend staying at this hotel.

Our room was very clean and kept that way each day. The hot breakfast was good and changed each day. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The location was great since we wanted to explore all of the area, and it was right in the middle. Beach chairs were available to sit on the beach, which had direct access. There was a good choice of nearby restaurants.

The stay was nice. The room was beautiful and loved the kitchen. Being able to have this kitchen saved a ton of money as I was able to cook we meals instead of going out for every meal. Breakfast was awesome and have a variety of food breakfast items to choose from daily. Very close to the beach and literally has its own access to the beach. It’s my first time at the Outer Banks. Being we only go on vacation once a year at the same time. Going to different hotels this was the best room ever. Only thing I hope can be improve is the WIFI. WiFi sucked and would go in and out and at night after 8pm seemed to just cut out and then was in and out throughout the day. I plan on booking next year and hope the WIFI is better as that’s an important part to us. Other than that everything was perfect.

Booked a room facing the main parking lot but still had a great partial view of the ocean from our balcony! It was relaxing to sit outside on the chairs and look at the ocean, especially to view the sunset. The room was clean, and spacious, with comfortable beds and quiet. It was nice to have a table and chairs to eat inside or play games at night. The breakfast had different items each day, including a hot section where the staff served you, plenty to choose from. Everything was delicious, especially loved the biscuits and quiches. The evening reception and cookies were a nice touch. The outdoor pool was clean and fairly empty whenever we passed by. It was a close walk to the beach and we were able to check out free chairs for the day. Loved the private and beautiful beach. It was never crowded and the water was fairly calm to swim in (wasn't too cold for the first week of June). We were in Kill Devil Hills for a bit, and this beach in Nags Head was better with calmer waters. There was a new sundeck on the second floor that provided a relaxing spot to view the town and enjoy the sunset as well. Overall, this was a great hotel to stay at that felt safe with retirees and young families.

The loft room we stayed in smelled musty and could not get the space in the loft area to cool despite AC on high, tower fan and ceiling fan on too. The tv streaming was spotty because the internet connection was in and out. Worst of all the room had a bug infestation. Management was informed of the issue and sprayed room but problem still persisted. No room change was offered nor a refund.

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.

Great location to the beach and walkable to Jeanette’s Pier. Only issue we had were the beds. Unfortunately, probably the worst mattresses we’ve ever had at a hotel or resort. Needed to use the hot tub every morning for our sore backs but that didn’t open until 10am. The nightly wine and charcuterie was welcome and the cookies every night too. Would consider staying again if the beds are upgraded.

I ended up so very ill that we had to book another night because I couldn’t leave at our checkout time. She said to my husband “No Worries” and when she said that we were so relieved because we knew she meant it. So accommodating! If they can help you with something they will for sure.

Amazing service! Every employee I interacted with was super nice and helpful! I noticed a couple of places in the hotel and hotel room that may have needed closer cleaning. The breakfast was delicious, but I would have preferred a self-serve buffet style breakfast with a couple more items. One last thing my family and I enjoyed was the daily cookies, available popcorn, and free wine :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Surf Side Hotel. It is right on the beach. Great location for a good price. Walkable to Jennette’s Pier among other attractions. The hotel provides beach chairs if you ask the front desk staff. Access to the beach was really easy. We enjoyed the complementary wine and cheese happy hour and the late-night chocolate chip cookie hour. The breakfast at the hotel was also good. Each morning they had some staples that never changed, but they did rotate a few items to keep their menu fresh. My husband really enjoyed the waffle bar. Our room was very clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean housekeeping was very pleasant and always checked on us even if we had our privacy tag on the door to make sure we didn’t need fresh towels or want our garbage taken out. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to stay in the Outer Banks.

Of course it was surf side. Beautiful beach. our room was modern and tastefully furnished. Nice breakfast space. Friendly staff. Ample parking. Not fussy. Extremely comfortable porch chairs. Walking distance to Cahoun’s store and Jeanette’s Pier. 5 minutes from golf and outlet mall. Loved our stay just off peak season late May.

Great location with a lovely beach. The hotel was nicely appointed with a refrigerator and microwave. They offer a yummy breakfast and evening wine reception. Local restaurants are within walking distance but more crosswalks are needed across Highway 12 for safe travel.

The breakfast was a wonderful improvement over any other motel I have stayed in previously. The staff including maintenance were courteous and helpful any time I interacted with them. I would definitely stay here again, and will also recommend the hotel to my friends and family.

Great breakfast! Our family enjoyed popcorn in the lobby, wine and cheese social hour and nightly cookies. The mini fridge in the room had a separate freezer which allowed us to freeze and refreeze the icepacks for our beach coolers.

This hotel was fantastic. The room was clean and every member of the staff that we encountered were friendly and courteous. The breakfast was fresh and hot and the extra amenities such as the popcorn all day and cookies in the evening were a welcome touch.

Amazing service! Every employee I interacted with was super nice and helpful! I noticed a couple of places in the hotel and hotel room that may have needed closer cleaning. The breakfast was delicious, but I would have preferred a self-serve buffet style breakfast with a couple more items. One last thing my family and I enjoyed was the daily cookies, available popcorn, and free wine :)
