Stayed three nights and cannot say enough great things about the lodgings, especially the manager, who made our trip the greatest. We would highly recommend. Again, the manager really went out of his way to made our stay memorable.

We were in the South Building, full frontal ocean view. That would have been enough for us, but adding to our enjoyment were the overall helpfulness and pleasantness of the staff, cleanliness of the room, and location, location, location. Room itself was large and comfy, not luxurious, but more than adequate. And free good internet connection. Only downside was lack... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights last week and we couldn't have asked for a better location! We had the King Superior room, and one of our 2 balconies overlooked the ocean. The location was central to everything, and a cab ride up to some of the restaurants wasn't far (or expensive) at all. The staff were... More

We like to get to the OBX and have historically stayed in a small hotel in KDH which we had made a reservation the end of October 2012 to celebrate our 5th anniversary and we had to cancel when Hurricane Sandy visited; so, my husband was finally able to get a week off again and we went to reschedule and...

Vacationing basically means: to relax and let others take care of the daily chores for you, so you have time for fun. This is expected and is usually received at most hotels. If you find a place that gives more than is expected, friendly and accomodating staff, an exceptional complementary continental breakfast (with very good coffee), complementary glass of wine... More

Stayed just one night at the Surf Side - we had been booked in for two, but the weather was so awful, we decided to move on. Not really sure how to review this hotel as I don't think we saw it at it's best due to the weather and the fact that they were doing construction work at the... More

No matter what the weather or time of year. we can always count of the Surfside to deliver a great stay. Location is great and the staff is always friendly and accomodating. Have stayed anywhere else but the Surfside for probably over 10 years and have no plans to look for another place to stay!

Location lets them charge their prices but it soon will need some upgrades. They only offer a continental breakfast. Some hot choices would be nice for the price. Wine is offered in the late afternoon.
