Surf Suites

2.5 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (312)
"The area is quiet. The property sits on the beach and view was outstanding. Rooms and property were very clean. The only 2 downfalls were, the beds were more hard than we were used to and there were not any towel racks in the bathroom, just hooks. Management did not let you hang towels on balcony railing. But overall, a great stay. We actually stayed an extra night."

"Recently separated and life just felt so heavy so, I decided to take a trip by myself. And, I was so pleasantly surprised by this little motel. I stayed in room 213 and was able to see the ocean and 2 lighthouses at night. I could hear the waves and was a quick little walk down to the sand where I spent most of my time.
