We have been staying at the Flagship rooms for many years. We don't stay as often as we'd like, due to the price. But when we have a special occasion we stay here due to the beach front location in the center of town, the gorgeous views, and the design of each room to enhance light and comfort. The rooms... more

My husband and I stayed at the flag ship in a second story corner unit and could not have been happier. We were driving from Seattle to San Francisco and this was by far the nicest place we stayed in. Great location, beautiful room with view, super comfy king size bed, fire place and a little kitchenette. The decor was... more

Our studio in the Flagship building was oceanfront with amazing views. It was spotless and we enjoyed having the kitchenette and having our meals and coffee in. We loved hearing the ocean at night and being able to walk right down to the beach. The tufted puffins were nesting at Haystack Rock which was just a short walk down the... more

We stayed in the Flagship unit, which is right on the beach, with windows that look both west and north. This is at the north end of town, near the creek, which is a little less crowded than midtown near Haystack Rock. We liked the second floor, because on the ground floor there is foot traffic right outside your window.... more

The Waves has several different buildings located ethier on the beach or across the street from it. We stayed in the "La Colina" #303. The location, rooms & Winter rates were all great! The one thing that was'nt... more

I just returned from the WAVES--my third stay over 5 years. They have done a complete remodel since the first time I stayed there. Cherry cabinets and Granite in the kitchenette, black appliances- brand new sink and tile in the bathrooms--very nice. Not an extreme amount of kitchen supplies, but I don't plan to cook entire meals there. Great fireplace.... more

We just returned from a 5 night stay at the Waves. This was one of the last places I called because of the previous comments about the staff and size of the rooms but they were able to accomodate us at the last minute. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a clean good-sized room with a fantastic view. We... more

4/5 found this review helpful

The website states: "You will always find great customer service with our dedicated staff". I don't think so. I called the reservation desk 4 times to make sure it wasn't just me...or just one employee having a bad day. I ended up speaking with 3 different staffers and had elevated blood pressure at the end of each call. Problems: (1)... more

Warm weather was forecasted for the weekend so we made arrangements to spend Saturday night at the beach. Many properties in town require a two night stay, but a call on Thursday secured us a place for one night only with a little effort. We have stayed at the Surfsand Resort in the past and enjoyed the large renovated rooms... more
